Alan wasn't far from speeding away fromt eh convenience store now, there was another store... If they were there, then he'd be in luck. If not he'd have to just go through the nearest city asking people... Which, he knew was practically pointless. Still, he'd do it.
Ofcourse, then there was something coming up behind him. He squinted to see what it was in his rearview mirror. "Keanu...?" he questioned aloud, perhaps he had found something? With that thought in mind Alan started to slow the vehical, ready to pull it to the side. Though for whatever reason at that moment fate decided to pull a twist, Alan felt a sudden jerk as the right front tire blew out, giving a startled cussword as he lost control of the car, spinning it out into a ditch.
The car hissed in protest from it's face first spot in the ditch... Though other than a dent here and there everything had been fine. If it hadn't been for Keanu's appearance causing Alan to slow, the crash woul dhave been much worse.
Alan cringed at the sharp pain in his back, the false spine was giving more than enough protest from the sudden shock. The faulty receptors were going off like mad, signaling much more pain than there should have been. He kept his hands clasped on the steering wheel, hissing out a repetitive "stopstopstop" to the pains. Then all at once it subsided... He let out a sigh of releif, taking a second to compose himself before stepping out of the car and looking expectantly to teh boy and dragon.

It didn't take long for the chasing to end. Keanu didn't exactly know why, but the car was slowing down, when it suddenly swerved into the ditch he assumed it must have been some trouble. Though the idea that it was justice punishing a bad kidnapping person was far from right. Still the duo were slowly decending from the slight height to make some sort of landing near the car which turned out to be less than graceful.
Ymir knew what to expect when he hit the ground and even with the slight strain from the extra weight kept his balance. However that was one thing Alan had neglected to explain when they were getting the flight explaination, and so when the sudden slowing of the landing took effect Keanu shot forward and went rolling along on the ground. Nothing that really hurt him, it could definitely have been worse, but it wasn't much good for his pride. Still when he did stop and sat up he could only blink confused at Alan. That was not a kidnapper. "Huh... What are you doing here Mr. Rikery? Why are you driving around so fast?" Likely the questions wouldn't be met with much enthusiasm since it wasn't what Alan had been hoping for. It had nothing to do with where Talia was. "I thought maybe you were the kidnapper with you driving out of D-Corp so fast."

Alan almost cringed when he heard the real reason Keanu had been following him. However, he refrained. Simply letting out a sigh and leaning against the side of his fallen car. "I was coming to help look..." he started, taking a moment or two to try and slow his heartbeat... Crashing did always get the adrenalin going. "I couldn't just sit around and do nothing." she admitted, slowly pushing himself away from the car, he truned away from the boy to inspect the damages... Dented, stuck in a ditch.. and missing a tire. Atleast he had a spare tire.. now all he had to do was get it out of the ditch and then hope he still had some tools in the car somewhere.

The boy pushed himself up to his feet dusting off a speck of dirt briefly before looking at Alan as he spoke. "ooh... I'm sorry, well... I haven't seen her yet..." He replied somewhat quietly. Failure wasn't something he enjoyed, and reporting such a thing was quite close to failure at the moment. Close enough that it humbled him from his usual hyperactive self for a bit of time.
It didn't take long for Keanu to follow Alan's gaze to the somewhat... messed up car. It obviously didn't look like it was going to run, but then again hadn't he seen worse things turn out alright? Of course none of them came to mind at the moment. "So uh... what happened with your car?"

"Tire blew." He muttered, glancing over the damage, before starting foreward. He poped open one of the back doors, digging around the floorboard for some tools... Talia's impact on his life was becoming more apparent even here, instead of tools he found several children's toys. Aha. There it was. His fingers grasped ahold of a green bag, tugging it foreward. The bag giving a jingle of metal clacking against metal as he dropped it to the ground beside the car.
With that completed he paused, looking back to the boy and his dragon. "Why are you still here?" It wasn't meant to be as rude as it came out... But he was a man of blunt sentances.

Alan sighed, admitably regretting the fact he had declined any help from the boy and his dragon...
For whatever reason he couldn't think of now, he had thought he'd be able to get his car from the ditch himself.
Now... He was sitting on the side of the road, frowning. His labcoat had been chucked to the side, the white fabric seemed to magnetically attract the dirt and turned itself mostly brown. His hair was even messier than before, due to a combination of sweat and nerviously fussing at it... The once slicked down hair now seemed like a mix of bedhead and hairgel. His shirt sleeves were hiked up to his elbows, dirt and grease spotting his arms and face. All around, he was a pitiful sight.
He had given his car everything he could, but all that had done was move it further into the ditch and stuck it on it's side. So now... All he could do was sit beside it and think.
He was a genious afterall... There had to be something.

Nikiana was driving her jeep down the road from D-corp. Ala had wanted her dragon egg again, so they were headed towards the tall building when a car along the side of the road drew Niki's attention. She glanced over a couple of times, noticing someone sitting beside the car.
Alaqua peered out her window at the sight. Suddenly, though the man looked quite different and was rather a mess, the koala girl recognized him as they grew closer. "Mommy, mommy. It's Tali's daddy!"
Those words took a moment to click with the driver, who usually only paid half attention to what her daughter said while the woman was behind the wheel. But the empty road with no traffic required little thought, so Niki slowed, glancing over at the man. What would he be doing out here?
The white jeep slowed and came to a stop, pulling over a short distance away from the car in the ditch. Nikiana shut the engine off and opened her door, pausing to take the key out as that rather annoying ding, ding, ding started, meaning that something was still on.
"Need some help?"

Alan peered up as a familiar figure slowed and stepped out... Crud. He quickly tried to straighten and compose himself... It wasn't good for teh boss of such a corporation to look so... weak.
He grunted softly at her question, "Yea..." as much as he hated to admit it. "Talia... She's missing." He stated simply, figuring that would be enough to explain.

Niki's face fell at Alan's comment. "Talia's missing?" Poor guy. No wonder he looked so... well, a mess. "How long has she been missing?"
Ala climbed out of the car in time to hear what her mother said. "Tali gone?" The girl grew sad, for she'd hoped that the girl had been with her father.

"5 o'hundre- Er.. 5 am." he wasn't exactly used to speaking to people. He brushed a hand over his hair again, pushing himself to his feet. "If I could intrude, could you perhaps give me a ride to the next store?" Sure it was blunt.. But any parent could hardly blame him for not wanting to mess with formalities. "I can pay you." He offered, "Gasoline and something for your trouble."

Niki's jaw nearly dropped to the ground. Since 5 that morning? No wonder the man was in such a shape. It had been over 12 hours now. The woman pulled herself from her thoughts at Alan's question.
"Sure, it would be no problem at all." She waved at hand at his offer. "No worries. Hop on in."

Alan nodded once offering a small "Thankyou" Before he moved around to the other side of the jeep. He paused to try and brush off his pants, failing at the task.. but atleast hopefully getting enough off so he could sit without making a mess.
With that, he hoisted himself into the jeep, mentally plotting out a sum that would be sufficent.
((We can move to the conveniance store #2 now. :3 ))

((*chuckles* Okay... but it's locked... ^^" *posts here anyways*))
Niki made sure that Alaqua climbed into the back and was buckled in before getting in herself, sticking the key in and starting up the engine. That ever annoying ding, ding, ding started up again until Niki buckled herself in. She shifted the vechile into drive and checked the road for traffic before pulling out onto it and heading for the next store.
