Adrian's eyes lit up just the tinyest bit at her words. Finally, he could get some peace and quiet to start planning his escape. It wouldn't work, however, if the person replacing her was even more talkative than her, though he didn't know if such a person existed. His thoughts were interrupted yet again by her words and Adrian resisted the urge to yell at her to shut up. If there was one thing he didn't want to do, it was lose his temper in front of one of the cops. "Hmm. You seem to really want to get to know me? What secrets do you want to know?" Adrian replied with a matching smile. It's not like he's actually going to tell her anything. Maybe he'll just make something up.
She smirked "oh?" She says, leaning in slightly, her gaze turning into a dangerous glare.
"I think i can figure that out soon enough…without you telling me anything" she says with a smile, her whole demeanor changing when the cheif came in along with one of the fbi agents.
"Well my shift is up. I guess ill see ya around" she winked at him before walking out.
In came a silent man with a mean expression. He kept his arms crossed as he walked in and sat in the seat, keeping an eye on the killer behind bars
"Oh, really?" Adrian raised an eyebrow. She was confident, he'd give her that. It was annoying, same as everything else about her. "Ha, I hope not," Adrian muttered, to soft for anyone to hear. The man who came in to guard him looked like much better company. He was quiet, at least for now, which meant Adrian could actually think. Now, how to get out of here…
Vienna waved everyone a good night at the police station, wishing them good luck with him. He was….interesting to say the least.
"Theyre coming in first thing tomorrow morning right?" She asked the cheif
"Yeah. Though he gives me the creeps. I wish theyd just pick em up already" he says in a strong southern accent.
"Its fine, he cant break through iron. Itll be fine" she says blowing the station a kiss before heading out.
(If it's alright with you, can I skip to after he's escaped? My brain doesn't have enough power to plan an escape at the moment. :)
(Lol thats totally fine!)
(Alright, thanks!)
Adrian slipped into an alley a good way away from the station, his breaths coming fast. He'd ran the whole way there, which would normally point any and all suspicions on him, but there was hardly anyone out. There was such a mess back at the station, anyway, so he needed to get away as soon as possible. A smirk slipped onto his face, remembering the police station. They'd thought he was trapped, but they couldn't have been more wrong. His breaths were slowing, but he decided to wait there for a few more minutes to calm down completely. There were still people alive at the station, anyway, so he didn't want to look suspicious in the least bit while he was getting to his hideout.
Vienna woke up to a loud alarm ringing hard in her ears. She had only been asleep for a few hours. What could possibly have gone wrong while she was away???
"H-hello~" she grumbled. Though her eyes quickly widened at the sherrifs words.
Jumping out of bed and getting dressed, she pulled her hair into a tight black ponytail once again before driving down to the station.
Arriving, she burst in the doors and was met by the sherrif and an ambulence here.
"Wh-what the hell happened here? Howd he escape? Thays what you said in the call" she asked, utterly perplexed simply by the fact he had gotten lose.
Well…he did warn her didnt he. Damnit she should have taken the hint.
"We dont know how he did it, all we know is that hes out and on the run. And hes gonna start killing again if we dont stop him" he says sternly. The fbi agents arrived behind Vienna. A big guy and a more petite strawberry blonde girl.
"Ill go search the streets. Someone needs to put his face back up on every channel in the city. We need all the help we can get."
Adrian's breath finally evened out. All he had to do now was get to his place and then he could start planning again. Adrian pulled his hood up over his head and headed back out of the alley. He walked slowly, his gait natural and calm. It was annoyingly far to his hideout, but having it anywhere near a police station was beyond foolish, so this was how it had to be. At least he had a pretty good head start on most of the cops. And they would have to find them. Only if he was extremely unlucky would they get anywhere close to him before he disappeared.
“On it, first thing this morning is we’ve got to inform the people. Its a big city. He could be anywhere.” Vienna nodded to the agent, immediately taking charge.
“Right, and put everyone into a panic? How do you think that will go huh?” The blonde says
Vienna steps up to her, looking down straight into her eyes “dont forget why you’re in the force. To protect them. Panicked people are better than dead ones..got it?” She says calmly before turning back around
“I’m headed out to get him.” She says, taking the keys off the rack to one of the cars
“Not alone youre not. I’m comin with’ one of the men stepped up
“Thanks Andrews. Let’s go’ she waved, headed out the door
(Hey! I’m sorry this past year and a half has been hectic, i forgot about notebook like all together. If you would like, we could totally still pick this up! I already went ahead and posted again just in case you wanted to! Again, I’m so sorry!)
(It's alright!)
Adrian kept going, keeping to the more unpopulated roads. If he thought someone was following him, he did a few circles until they left. By this time, every cop in the city would probably be looking for him. That was… unfortunate, but it just meant he had to be more careful. It would make each kill after this more satisfying, anyway. Double the danger, double the rewards. At that point, he'd gotten about halfway to his hideout and was contemplating his next steps. The list would have to wait for at least a little bit, which was annoying. He didn't want to end up right back where he'd just been, though, so it was necessary.
Vi shoved her way through the big doors of the police station, unlocking the car doors and climbing in.
Andrews hurried out as well, though not as quickly as Vienna.
He was just coming out of the doors when she got into the car parked out right in front of the station.
Climbing in as well, andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) looked to Vienna “do we have any leads as to where he would be?” He asked
Vi pulled out and headed up onto the main roads “no, but we can search. I have a few ideas. Though did we ever find where his place was?” She asked, checking to make sure the sirens stayed off. Not wanting to wake anyone for the inconvenience and also, if they were chasing him it’d be a different story.
But if this killer knew she was coming, it would just make their job ten times harder.
“Uhm no, i dont think we did. We did get his identification when he came in though.” Andrews replied to her
“Okay good” She says, pulling out her phone and dialing the station,
“Are you sure you should be-“
“shut up Andrews” she says before the head of the office picked up
(Apologies for the late reply!)
Adrian stepped out of an alleyway, glanced down the road, and stepped right back into the alley. There'd been a car coming down the road that looked a lot like a police car. Hopefully they hadn't seen him. He was so close to safety… it would be extremely annoying if he had to make a huge detour. Even more annoying if he had to fight his way out of something. He would be at a disadvantage if that happened, most likely. Well, better to get out of there, just in case. Adrian started back down the alleyway. As long as no one saw him, he would be able to take only a small detour and still get to his place in a decent amount of time.
(Haha you're fine i didn't reply for like 6 months lol. No worries)
_
“Watch ya got?” The voice came in through the phone
“Wait why aren't you using the radio-“
Vienna cut Andrews off by speaking into the phone “we got identification on this guy right?”
“Uh possibly. We haven’t run it through the system yet. We dont have the analysis unit with us. Vienna, theres only so much we can do to-“ Once again, someone was interrupted by Vi. Which nobody appreciated but she was a hard worker who had the determination of a bull when it came to jobs like this.
“I wasnt meaning- okay, what do we know about his parents? Literally anything involving background would be good right about now” she says in a urgent voice.
She went silent and drowned out the noise of Andrews and the voice on the phone when she slowed down the car, squinting to see a figure peek in and out of the shadow. She drove a little bit longer and pulled the car to a slow stop, turning to Andrews.
“Did you hear anything he just said Vi?” Andrews asked, concerned
“Take the wheel and keep looking. I’m going on foot.” She ordered, opening the car door and clicking on her flashlight.
Andrews eyes widened. “What? You know i cant just let you-“
“Please? Just this once i swear it’ll be fine. Maybe we’ll get a drug bust” she joked before closing the door and heading into the dark alley, the only light was the street lamps from the road and the big, black flashlight in her hands. So it wasn't too ideal but she could live with it.
“I swear if its just some homeless dude I’m gonna shoot myself….that newbie better not do anything stupid….” she mumbled under her breath, barely able to see her surroundings.
“And who told her this would be a good idea?? Why hasn’t someone fired her yet?” Andrews complained into the phone Vienna left as he got in and kept looking, already regretting leaving her behind.
Adrian's hopes of getting away without anyone noticing him were crushed when he heard the sound of a car stopping. Soon after that there was the sound of a door opening and shutting. Someone had gotten out of the car, most likely. He cursed silently and glanced around for a hiding space. Hopefully it was just someone who lived near here, or some other low-life like him. He just needed to hide and wait for them to pass by. Adrian silently slipped behind a dumpster and moved until he could see the alley in the direction of the car. Jahtal, let them pass by quickly. He was too tired for any more detours or confrontations. He just wanted to get back and regroup. Preferably get a little sleep in as well.
Vienna shone the flashlight in any corners she could find, leaning down and looking behind a dumpster, jumping when something hissed at her and bolted out of the crevice and down the dark alley.
“A cat? Really?” She mumbled to herself.
“Hey look man” she called out into the alley “its only me in here. I left my partner back in the car. We can talk alright? And hey, you may even get lucky and take me down?” She says, hoping to tempt him.
Though this man didnt seem like the angry, reckless type. Like she was used to.
This guy was smart and tactical and obviously had a list. With how well organized the victims were. But at the same time they couldn’t find anything that connected them yet.
Thats what got Vienna.
She stepped down the alley, turning off her flashlight, a bit full of herself.
if he was going to come out and get me, might as well give him the advantage. she thought to herself, pursing her lips together.
Adrian managed to stop himself from cursing out loud, but it was close. Of course the person in the alley was the police. And… Adrian peeked out a little more until he could see who it was. It was that woman. The one who talked too much, who'd brought him to the station. She seemed a little stupid, especially right now. She thought that he was there– he, who'd killed a lot of people and was going for more– and she had turned her flashlight off? Either she really was stupid or she knew something he didn't. She didn't seem like she was going anywhere, and he had to get out of there as quickly as possible. Maybe he could jump out and knock her out or something. If that didn't work, he could always sprint away. Yeah, that could work.
Adrian quietly slid out from his hiding spot, keeping out of the woman's sight. He tried to keep as quiet as he could, but he was sure he would be able to hear him if she was trying. If only he had one of his weapons. He could quickly take her out for good. All he had, though, was a brick. This was fine.
