“Well, shit! Hold on!” Cat muttered, holding up a hand. She started down the hall, pausing to glance back at Alex. “Nice job there.” She flashed a smile before disappearing down the hall. She went to her room on the other side of the house, moving as quickly as possible in total silence, slipping behind her door. She didn’t have enough time to change, so she’d have to do this in her heels and dress – Great. Way to ruin a good outfit. She grumbled to herself as she grabbed her katanas from their perch on her bed post, strapping them to her back. Sitting on her dresser was a belt with pouches attached holding a number of small, sharp, throwing weapons. These people they were about to go against…She didn’t know what they had and she didn’t like going into a blind fight unarmed. She slipped back into the shadows, locking her door behind her as she headed back to Luke’s room, meeting Laura’s rolling eyes. “What?” Shrugging, she closed Luke’s door and locked it behind her before heading towards the window. “You – Kid – Person. I don’t know your name. I’m leaving these shoes in your room. I’ll be back for them later so don’t sell them or anything.” She gave a light nod before pushing the window open, taking a look down. “Jeez. I’m going first because I’m wearing a dress. Laura – You go last and keep an eye out, yeah?” The woman gave a nod, grumbling internally about the young woman’s antics as Cat moved over the window sill and began her quick descent to the grass below.
