. Burke spent about forty minutes zig-zagging through the city. As of now, she was mostly safe from the cops, so she took to the sidewalk, but her brisk pace made people stare, and soon she moved upward. She spotted James not much longer. "James!" She yelled, running after him.

James noticed Burke.
"D---" he thought, and began to run. He had to get rid of her before he reached the NCO office.

. Burke narrowed her eyes, "Where do you think you're going?" She sped up, realizing it'd be a chase. She followed him until she grew a little tired, and only then she notice he'd been running her in circles. "What are you doing?" Burke yelled after him, but decided it was time she stopped and stood, hoping he'd at least stop long enough to give some sort of clue what he was up to.

"D--- shes quick" James thought... but after running the city back and forward a few times Burke finally seemed to get tired of chasing him.
"Now is my chance" he thought, and headed straight until he couldn't see Burke anymore. Then he turned, and walked along the streets to the big building he was supposed to enter. At the top floor he entered the room he was told to: There he would meet the tracker of the NCO

"Burke, are you there?" Isaac said over the headset.
"yeah, I lost him but it was james..." she said, panting heavily
"as I suspected," Isaac said, with a tone of sadness in his voice. "come on back"
"coming" said Burke, sad now as well.
btw, write about this in the missions log and then the newspaper, you completed the mission!

Roland had spent the last couple of days in a dejected, crestfallen mood. He'd kept his earpiece out, not yet accustomed to the idea of working with a tracker who wasn't Peregrine.
He was hanging out on a secluded rooftop when he saw a flash of distinctive reddish-orange hair lingering on a couple of rooftops over, and recognized it as Burke, looking weary. What was she doing over there?
Roland realized that he couldn't mope forever. He whistled at her and waved. "Hey, Burke! What's up?"

[[[Isaac, no usin' other peeps peeps, that's whut god modin' is D: ]]]
Burke looked at Roland, then walked up to him, not really in the running mood right now, though she probably would be in about ten minutes. "Hello, Roland. I'm just headin' back. What are you doing?"

Sometimes Roland wished he still smoked, just so he could pose nonchalantly with a cigarette. As it was, the best he could do was slouch against an antennae.
"Just hangin' out here myself. Feelin' it's about time to come in from the cold and get back to the job. I took the last couple of days off, but if I want to eat anything besides Ramen this month, I need to do some paid work. I'll see if Isaac has any clients lined up that need something delivered," Roland said.
"Were you out on a job just now? Did you finish up? Want to race back?" Roland asked.

Burke smirked. "Race back? You joking? Yes I just finished a job." She shook her head, "No I'd rather keep it cool right now, I don't think anyone's patrolling," She glanced around as if to confirm what she just said. "Just imagine, if you came back last night or this morning, you could have helped me out just now," Burke laughed, "No I'm fine. Now let's get back before we're the ones being chased."

"Helped you out? You run into some heat? Okay, sure, we can head back nice and easy." In his head, Roland casually flicked away the butt of his imaginary cigarette and started out on the route that would bring them back to the converted cooling tower where Isaac laired.
Nothing too intense, he jogged across rooftops, leapt gaps, and scaled walls while making the trip back with Burke. "Hey, you have Issac on the radio, right? Can you tell me what frequency he's on?"

"Yeah," Burke set him up with Isaac, "Good to have you back by the way, we're gonna need all the help we can get."

"Yeah, thanks, I know," Roland said. "I, uh..." he didn't know how to broach this topic, searched for a good way to word it, and failed. "I heard about what happened to Faith...."

Burke nodded. Soon they returned to their makeshift base. "I'm back. We've got a guest, Isaac."
(((Roland you can start a new thread to talk to Isaac)))
