Snippet #1405908

Nora was surprised by the stranger’s inquiry about her, and only slightly surprised by the report of their record. Apparently they figured out who started that little fire last week in the abandoned factory. A small smirk crossing her face at her friend’s version of the assault, it quickly turned to one of wide eyed horror as she watched Izzy bite the officer and start shooting with his gun. Being shoved forward, Nora quickly grabbed the strange man’s hand and pulled him along with her; not wanting to risk him staying behind and being shot accidentally or arrested out of a misunderstanding.

Glancing back only a few times to make sure her trigger happy friend was still following, Nora led the way to their home and quickly ushered everyone in and slammed the door shut. “Izzy…. Why did you do that?! You do realize they know where we live! We could’ve been out in a day at the most! I can’t believe this.” Out of breath from the run and panic, she simply flopped face down onto the nearest couch and let out a frustrated scream into the overly fluffed pillow. She had tried so hard to keep them safe; but with her parents gone it was much harder than she suspected, and she couldn’t bear the thought of losing her friend. If they came for Izzy, then they might as well be ready to add a longer list of offenses to her record as well.

Frustration relieved for the moment, Nora sat back up on the couch and let her chin rest in her hand as her elbow rested on her knees. “So…” she directed at Kane, “if there’s anything you were wishing to share with us, you might want to do so while you still have the chance. May I ask how you know my name, or at least knew OF my name?”
