"impressive."
he followed her directions, staying just behind her and keeping a sharp eye for anyone in the halls.

They almost made it to the door–except a man in a suit stood in front of it. She pulled up the stretchy scarf she had around her neck until it covered her mouth and nose, then walked right up to the man. "Excuse me sir, but I'm a bit lost."
He looked at her, confused, then his eyes widened when he realized she didn't belong. But before he could shout out a warning, she grabbed his shoulders and kneed him in the stomach, then swung herself around and wrapped her legs around his waist while her arms squeezed his throat. He tried clawing at her, but she held fast, and he collapsed from lack of oxygen.
Tessa dusted herself off and beckoned for Nik while she searched the man's pockets for anything useful–like a keycard.

nik had silently raised his eyebrows, watching her fight the man, and when she beckoned for him he joined her standing over the man. he crouched, searching any pockets she hadn't. he eventually found a small key in an inside pocket of his suit jacket and held it up, a silent question on his face.

"That'd be it," she said, removing the guy's gun and also zip-tying his wrists and ankles. She hadn't killed him, so she didn't need him running around and warning others.

"nice."
he used it to unlock the door, hesitantly pushing it open and looking through while tessa stripped the guy of his weapons.
he remembered something then, half turning to mutter "i have chloroform, if need be. you good to go?"

She stood and took the guns, strapping them to her waist–just in case. "Yup, right behind you."
She stepped into the room. It was a large and fancy office, filled with a huge desk, multiple filing cabinets, and a computer sitting on the desk as well as stacks of papers. It was empty, and no cameras were installed in it–Tess knew this was to keep whatever illegal things they did under wraps.
"Well, do your thing," she said to Nik as she threw herself in the chair at the desk and started snooping on the computer.

"nice. keep me updated on what you find on the computer." he unstrapped the camera bag from his side, gently setting it down and getting the camera and a lockpick.

nik began to fiddle with the locks on the filing cabinets, keeping a close eye on the clock. when he got one open, he shuffled through the files until he found one labeled "experiements", filled with reports.

"jackpot, tess. should we take the file or just get photo evidence?"

"Take the file." She poked out her tongue as she cracked the passcode, then searched through recent files. She, too found the jackpot. Photo and video evidence of their experiments, as well as lab reports and records of the illegal drugs–and lab-developed drugs that have yet to be revealed to the public–used on the "patients." She scowled at the computer as she dug out a chip and inserted it into the computer.
"This'll need a few minutes to download," she muttered, then proceeded to pace the room.

"we've got a good 6 minutes left."
he brought the file to his camera bag, tucking it in as well as everything else he pulled except the chloroform. he prepped it, pulling his shirt over his nose and mouth before wetting a rag with it, folding it and placing it in an easily-accessible side pocket.
"what are they even experimenting on the kids for? what information do they need?"

"They're not just kids–they're people like me." Tess said emotionlessly, her face blank as she continued pacing. "You know how the government is–or the entire world, for that matter–when it comes to things they don't understand. They experiment, poke, prod, slice, drug, and God knows what else to understand the impossible. To harness it for themselves and use it as a weapon."

"jesus christ. that's fucking horrible. let's take this whole shebang down, then. and… may i ask you a loaded question?"
he began to fiddle with his fingers, twining and untwining them as he nervously watched the clock.

"Shoot." She walked over to the computer to check the progress. 90%

"did they do that to you? i understand if you don't want to share." he went and searched his camera bag, checking that he had everything and strapping it back on.

She snorted. "They strapped me down and gutted me like an animal, digging around inside of me to see what made me tick. No anesthesia, no nothing. Just chains and straps to keep me 'contained.' My foster families weren't any better. They locked me in closets and basements. I remember going weeks without seeing the sun. It's why I turned to the streets, and then drugs and alcohol. And it's why I do what I do."

"mother of god. mine seems a lot more pathetic, now. i'm assuming you don't want pity, so i'll just say that you've recovered beautifully, and i'll fucking kill them."

he fiddled with the straps for a moment longer, and turned to her. "two minutes left."

"I'm long past pity," she muttered, choosing to ignore his other comments. The computer dinged, indicating the completed download. She quickly pulled out the chip and stashed it. "Let's go. Same way we used to get here."

"nice."
he followed her, jumping when the alarms started to blare, but taking solace in the fact that they were nearly out. the trapdoor was in sight, and nobody had figured out where they were yet.

"Freeze!" Multiple men with guns swarmed the hallway, all aiming at them.
Tessa swore in Italian and pushed Nik in front of her. "Go! I'll cover you!"

he nodded, shooting off down the hallway and hanging on the ladder. he was positive tessa could take care of herself, but he still figured it'd be… rude to go off without her. he swung the door down in front of him, curling behind it so all shots aimed at him ricocheted off. if she needed backup she'd call, right?

The men trained all of their weapons on Tessa. "Theresa Hunt. You are under arrest for–"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know the drill." She held up her hands and faced them–with tiny balls between her fingers, so small they couldn't see them. "No need to repeat yourself, Sergeant."

oh, she definitely has a plan.
he made it sound like he had climbed up, tossing his bag onto the ground to simulate him getting up and running.
nik knew she could probably tell the difference, and just prayed that the men could not.

"Alright then, Miss Hunt. Then you know that my men are authorized to shoot should you prove to be unwilling to play nice."
"I do." She said simply, then threw the balls towards them and amplified their blast radius as they exploded. The flames didn't affect her, and she took that moment to take off towards Nik. "Go go go go!"

he scrambled up, snatching his bag and booking it towards the dark alleyways of the city. he could hear tessa right behind him, she must've caught up in the 100-yard sprint.
nik kept going, leaping onto some building's fire escape and racing to the top to stand, breathing deeply on the roof.
"tessa, you okay?"

She nearly collided into him, and she caught herself before she did. "…Yeah…" she panted, pulling the scarf back down to her neck so she could get more of that sweet, sweet oxygen. "That download took longer than I thought. I miscalculated." She sounded upset.

"hey, it's alright. we're both in one piece, and we have everything we need. just another successful takeout by theresa hunt. deserves some celebration, eh?"
he pulled out his phone and the files, taking a quick picture of the cover.
"this exposure could make both of us rich, if that's something you're interested in."
