N0S takes the Berettas and tucks them in his belt, and stuffing the clips in his pockets.
"Well if you got the grenades and your coming theres no reason i need more then two. It seems Shadow has lead us to China Town, unfortunaetly he seems to have lost the general trail, which from my experience CAN'T be good. Duece any of these places look like spots Quincy would hang out in. And if not, which one of these places looks like the best promising place for "get" some info?"

McQ finds a nearby crate and decides to use it to sit on. Realizing he'll probably be waiting a while before leaving Garrison, he lets himself unwind and even goes so far as drifting off.
While he's dozing some young kids come along and start checking out the cyborg, wondering what or who he is.
"Do you think he's asleep?" one child asks.
"I dunno. Do robots sleep?" another asks.
"I don't know. Don't look like no robot though," the first one says and picks up a stick. He gets as close as he can and reaches out with the stick to poke the cyborg. He doesn't budge. "Hmm."
The second child picks up a small rock and hands it to the first one who lightly tosses it at the cyborg. The rock bounces off his head and McQ jerks slightly causing the boys to jump startled.
"Come on, don't wake it up. Look at that gun, he might shoot us or somethin'," the other boy pleads.
"He won't. He's out cold. Watch," the first boy insists and picks up a crumpled soda can. He throws it at the cyborg with more force as McQ raises his hand without opening his eyes and catches the crumpled can in mid-air. McQ slowly looks up as the two boys are suddenly filled with fear.
"Do you're parents know where you are?" McQ asks with a low electronic voice and proceeds to stand up. towering over the boys.
"AHHHHH!" the boys yell out in fear and run off.
"Kids," McQ mutters to himself and shakes his head. He then sits back down on the crate.

"EVERYBODY GET DOWN!"
She blinks, eyes readjusting after being squeezed shut, she turns, scanning the market, trying to see wings or bags or any sign of Serenity in the frozen crowd. Raising the gun she swings again in a circle, finger not even on the trigger, but using the threat to make her point.
She notes Mai's position, see's the woman scanning the crowd for their missing companion, the knowledge that she not there already written accros her face.
"Gorramit, everybody get down, NOW! Asses in the air... You!"
She spots the old couple still on the bench, and climbs over the prone bodies towards them.
"Which way did they go? The girl, with WINGS and the security guy, WHICH WAY DID THEY GO!"
She holsters one of the guns and does her best to hold the other behind her. The couple on the bench stare, eyes seeking out the weapons still, the woman whimpers slightly, and Seryn looses her patience. Grabbing the guy by the collar she hauls him up to meet her eyes, switching her tone to quiet, though still a million miles from comforting.
"Give me a direction, just point, hell, just drool in one particular direction"
Shaking like a leaf, the guy manages to twitch his head towards an ally near by. With as much care as she can afford she drops him back on the bench and runs for the mouth of the alleyway.
"MAI, stay close!"
She flips up one of the catches on her belt, pulling out a third gun, she makes to swing round and find Mai to throw it to her when her eyes find a small pastel coloured bag, one that she'd seen a clerk place a pair of small cotton shoes into, seemingly only minutes before.
She slows, gun held before her, and enters the alley way. Silence greets her. More bags litter the ground, several feathers lie scattered in the mud, but other than that theres no trace of Serenity or the guard.
Mai, gasps behind her, and numbly she reaches back and hands her the gun, not even asking if she wants it. Immedietly Mai starts to scan their surroundings, eyes on the crowd outside who are beginning to stir, running for any route away from the suddenly crazy place.
Dully, she opens a link to the TREE and all of the shuttles, pressing down the switches to activate the locating signal.
"Mai? Can you tell them, let them know whats happening? Get Soul, get all of them."
She scans the walls, tries to make sense of the churned mud on the ground, she trys to make out the buildings surrounding them, assessing escape routes, checking first a little further down the alley, then back to the mouth to watch out for the inevitable security team.
"oh gods guys, hurry..."
(OOC- where is washie? has anyone heard from her? IRL i mean? is she ok?)(oh, and cheers for making me all cool guys!)

'Aiya!' Jazaf complains as the chocolate splashes on his remaining set of clothes.
'What's wrong with you Soul?'
'No time!'
Soul leaps from the chocuzzi and makes a mad dash to his quarters.
The remaining members look at each other and Jazaf shrugs.

Citizen catches a glimpse of Serenity and the security officer move off from the group. Not being one too trust security he moves against the crowds to keep eye's on. They disappear in to an alleyway. Citizen melts into the crowd.
He watches unseen as Serenity is bound and dragged off. He pulls a pistol from his shoulder holster and checks chamber, removing the safety he silently moves to the mouth of the Alleyway. He reaches around to his back to check that the compact assault rifle was still present, checked the grenades on his belt and hit the wall to the left of the alleyway. Leaning his back into the wall he rolls to the right, ducking his head around the corner.
Clear.
He rolls around the corner and silently hurries to the end of the alley. Reaching the end he hits the corner and checks the various escape routes. Catching sight of the security officer and the bound and struggling form of Serenity he moves of after them, keeping to the shadows and cover, stopping only to spray the letters CIT and a crude arrow in the direction of travel in spray paint as he follows.
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity. But I know none, and therefore am no beast.

“Well, like I said, Quin doesn’t ever go to Chinatowns. Not ever. In fact, she avoids ‘em like, well, like she’s got some reason to avoid ‘em.”
Deuce thinks, then smiles and snaps her fingers. “Fancy places. Ritzy places. Usually, she’ll flirt with some guy who has more cash than willpower and she gets him to treat her to the best restaurants, buy stuff at the best shops. That sorta thing. Sometimes, if he’s rich enough or if she actually likes him, they’ll find a five star hotel suite for the night. Order caviar from room service. That sorta thing. The girl has no pride. But she’s sure got lots of presents!”

On Commerce, shopping moon of Garrison:

Conscious of the Security guy watching them, she smiles, and in her best breezy manner opens a link to TRM.
"Hey, we're on our way, just sorting out some sore feet, if you could swing round to the drop off point near the front of the docks, that would help an awful lot."
TheRealMe keys his com-link to respond. “Very well, Seryn. I’ll have to warm up the Napoleon’s engines a bit. Give me a few minutes, and I’ll meet you near the docks.”
Not long afterward:

Immediately after that call, on the crowded street, a small dot of light appears in front of Mai and Seryn. It slowly expands to become a ring of fire surrounding a dark void, perhaps a foot across. From this hole in reality flies a small replica of the Napoleon. TheRealMe’s voice can be heard over the com-link:
“Ah! Mai! Seryn! There you are.”
The dimensional portal closes, and the shuttle expands as it descends, to become the full-sized Napoleon Bonaparte by the time it lands. This causes quite a stir on the busy street. The hatch opens, and TheRealMe pokes his head out.
“So much for subtlety. Come aboard. What can you tell me?”
OOC: Jake7, sorry that I freaked you out. It is my understanding that Mei-ling is a very common female Chinese name, and happens to be the only authentic one that I know!
I picked the “Kuin” name to allude to “Quincey”. TheRealMe, First Officer of the Sereni-Tree

Scanning the area for any sort of high class place or someplace for information, N0Skillz finds what he's looking for.
Gesturing to a upper class building with 2 guards out front of it, N0Skillz says " Alright guys that seems a likely place to figure something out. I don't know to many nightclubs that have guards out front but no waiting line and no neon sign. Must be the local big shot in town, they should know at least something."
Pulling out a .45 and then the other, N0Skillz checks the camber for a round and places one of them back in its holster. Changing his pace N0Skillz starts to quickly make his was towards the building, stopping a decent distance from the building.
"So how we want to do this. The hard way, i.e force our way in, or easy way all sneaky backdoor like?"
-ooc: if y'all make any moves during the day today, i'ma be at work and prolly wont be able to post, feel free to drag me along in ur posts
