"Well... this was pointless."

He turns to leave.
O Muse!
Sing in me, and through me tell the story
Of that man skilled in all the ways of contending,
A wanderer, harried for years on end...

The music stops. Outside a low hiss can be heard. A slow whirring noise soon accompanies it until the slow whirring turns into the horrible grinding of metal against metal.

"... the hell!" Jack heats up his vulcan gun and charges outside!

A red robot is sinking an arm deep into the grill of Jack's vehicle. A large pool of greenish liquid is seeping into the ground beneath, staining bits of worn rubber. All of the tires are flat with large gashes in them.

"..."

"You trashed my ride... your metal ass is MINE!"

He opens up with his gun... chewing through ammo as his armor piercing bullets fly at the robot.

The robot's blank stare focuses on Jack as the momentum of the bullets send it careening back. Oddly, not a single one pierces its shell. Eventually the torrent sends it into a wall across the street, pinned by the spectacular gunfire.

Jack lays off the fire, pulls the pin of a grenade, and lobs it over and into the depression in the wall.

"Die..."

The explosion deals a final blow to the wall behind the robot. The bullets had no problem weakening the structure, and the concussion sends half of the front to tumble down in an avalanche of cinderblocks, mortar and wood. Only a small, pincer like hand made of three fingers indicates the robot didn't escape. The pincer doesn't move.

Jack nods... revenge was bittersweet. And it wouldnt bring back his ride. He goes over to the nearest car in the huge traffic jam... wrenching the door open and moving to hot wire it.

The traffic jam is dead silent once again but all the doors are open, suggesting no one had gotten back in. The car hums to life after a little fiddling with the wires.

The rooftops would be a hard place to traverse as there were some gaps too broad for Caine to jump.

Turning the car around... he heads back the way he came. So far nothing about this mission had gone right...

((Aww, In Mirrors Edge you can do it... =.= LOL jk ))

Caine decides to look around his surrounding from the top. Hoping to detect any threats before they suprise him.

(( What time is it in the RP? ))

"What are you planning?!"

As Jack continued to drive, the car began to sputter and it didn't take long before the entire engine to fall out. It looked like this car had been jury rigged to collapse if driven.

Caine wouldn't be able to detect any threats from where he scanned, but he sort of got that feeling that someone was watching him.

"... damn it all to hell." He gets out and starts walking on foot. Not exactly his first choice, but it looked like someone had planned this out way too well.

Caine ignored the feeling. He climbed down and was back in the streets. With no time to waste he ran in the dirrection of the company building.
