I'm building up a wall

Who: proxysearch and terminates
When: June 1st, 2011. Late afternoon, just before Darkness
Where: Sector 8
Summary: In hot pursuit of a bounty, Re-l runs into someone she's only met briefly on the network. Talk of Rogues, Batman, and ridiculousness ensues.
Warnings: None as of now. Action tagging for great justice.


[So close. She'd been keeping an eye on this man for days, watching him as he left home and came all the way out here to wait for someone. She'd lost sight of him the first day, but now she had him. Whatever he's been up to, he's thought to keep it discreet. With the sky so dark and rain threatening to fall, he probably thought he could slip away and not be spotted.

She corners him easily enough. She's not in uniform and she's quick and silent; she spooks him when she finally makes herself known. And then it's just like every other time she's caught up to a target: they beg, they cry, they start to take out pictures.

She tells him she doesn't care. She just wants the truth.

He gives it to her without preamble. His wife's sick. He's sold himself over to SERO to get her treatment and they're not helping. He's tried to get out and go to the proper authorities, but at every turn... The story goes on. Re-l listens and says nothing. Finally, she shakes her head.

She gives him the number and name of a specialist at Skye. She'll pull some strings, if she can, but she might not be able to wipe him from SERO's list. He thanks her, practically goes down in front of her, and then scurries off.

She brushes her hand through her hair.]

Pointless.
