Devon peered over the edge of the roof, ducking his head back immediately. At the lack of a whipcrack shot, he looked again, slightly to the right. Satisfied that he had lost his pursuers, the man mapped out his options. He could leave the city, of course, but a gut instinct told him it would be useless, that by some chance he was pegged. Another, was that he could go to ground, hit his caches around the city, and weather the storm. The issue he had with that was the sheer number of Retrievers that would be in the city. Shrugging that one off for the time being, he elected to follow the last. Find another experiment, start grouping up. Strength in numbers, as disdainful he was to working with others.
Deciding to descend quickly, Devon sprung from the roof's edge, dropping into the alley, and wall hopped his way down, back and forth. A dangerous maneuver, if you were a mere human, Devon did so with ease. At the bottom, he rolled, coming out of the alley standing straight, brushing off his clothes as though he had merely dealt with a mugger. He still had to reach one of his caches, change clothes, grab supplies, move. This last was the key. As long as the hitman kept moving, he was that much harder to track.
His legs carried himself into the high end side of town, and he scanned the storefronts, looking for one in particular... "Ah, there you are, pretty." Smiling with relief, he entered the store, quickly moving to the back. He browsed the rear shelves, waiting for a couple to move out of sight around the bend, and as they did, he moved to the warehouse door. After a final check down the aisle, the he palmed his entry key, and slipped inside. Inside, he ignored the stock on the floor, what he wanted was near the top. Forgoing the ladders, the man simply climbed.
"Come to Devon, you handsome devil you." He slid the briefcase to him, seized it, and dropped to the floor. Entering the warehouse office, the hitman locked the door. "Let's see what presents you have for papa." Popping the locks, and flipping it open, his eyes lit up with a sort of sadistic glee. "Oh hell yeah. Hell to the yes."
Five minutes later, he walked out in new clothes, gun hidden under his jacket, and a guitar case on his back. He loved his cache's.
Serenade the moon, and let loose your howl.
