[[Alright. I'm back from semi-hiatus early, thank god last-minute plane tickets came through >>;]]
Liesel looked about the room after the two men had left. It was astutely sterile and absolutely of no import at all. Just the little table, the phone, the chairs, and other such little necessities were scattered about in a lazy indifference. It was as good a place as an any for the secret exchange of information. In the silence, a beep suddenly struck out at the tension in the room.
[[What the beep should be I have trouble deciding. The sound of a phone ring, a bomb, what else makes a beeping noise? A fire alarm?]]

((Uhh, well, that depends on what you're going for. Fire alarm is good for evacuating, phone for information, and bomb for...well, yeah.))

((Welcome back! It doesn't really matter to me what the beeping is, I'm fine with anything. And...that one post from a few days ago has got to be one of the highest ranking most random things I've seen since joining this RP xd ))
Esther zoned out as her thoughts wandered throughout every part of her mind. She thought about how her aunt and uncle were doing. They were probably worried sick. She thought about her training, and mused if she was really ready for this. She thought about the moth, and wondered if she should kill it or not... She was so lost in thought, that she was completely oblivious to the beeping noise her partner heard.

[[Bomb it is then.]]
In any situation other then complete silence, the beeping would have been inaudible. Now it was there. Liesel had gained enough training to know just what that beeping implied, and she was not going to trust it to resolve itself. The spy had no idea when it was going to blow up, but she and Esther had to make a hasty departure from this place. She wasted no time in explanations and simply grabbed the manila file and stood. "Get up, we need to be out of this building now." There was no sense of panic in her voice or movements as she walked to the door. Outside of the open door there was a stairwell, at the top of the stairwell was another door leading to outside. Outside she wasn't sure if there would be a vehicle, but they had to go on foot anyway. A car could be rigged.
She tried the door. It jiggled but didn't open. She produced a lock picking set from seemingly out of nowhere. Taking out one of the picks, she began to pick at the lock. If the picks didn't work, she'd have to try kicking it down. The picks didn't work. Liesel didn't have much experience with picking locks, only what her training had taught her. "Esther, help me with the door."

"Huh?" Esther snapped back to reality, "Hey! Wait for me," she called as she rushed to follow Liesel down the hall. She watched worried as her partner tried and failed to pick the lock, and silently wondered what was going on. But she figured now probably wasn't the time to ask.
"I don't know what to do. I've only been in this line of work for a few weeks!" she looked around, "Can we unhinge it somehow?"

"How long is this car trip anyway?" McMullard complained. His butt was falling asleep.

Liesel thought a moment before answering. "Only if we break it down." Silently she observed Esther's form and deduced that she wasn't as trained as herself. Quite obviously, the government was getting desperate as their operatives died or went AWOL without warning. She hoped she would not become one of those operatives. There were still many things she had yet to find out. "Stand back." Liesel told her partner before she stretched into a ready position. The beeping behind them persisted quickly. A short pause, and then her leg shoot out right below the doorknob. A loud crack was heard and the door swung outwards, granting them both freedom. Liesel didn't stop to survey the damage, instead she sprinted through the parking lot, making a beeline for the sidewalk.

Kurtis had an idea. He wasn't sure if it was a good idea, but it was as good as anything he had at the moment. He set the kinetic gun to approximately twice the size of a human head and fired at the driver's side of the windshield. He began to reload before seeing the result of his shot.

The windshield didn't break, being highly durable, but it scared the bejesus out of the driver when it cracked and made loud noises. He slammed the brakes and slid into some random parts, thus rendering him immobile for about thirty seconds.
The other car was still following. They began to fire at them with guns. Real guns.
((You only have three more shots, Alex.))

Kurtis ducked down, loading his final clip. What to do, what to do....
He pulled the blast in to its tightest setting and fired the concentrated kinetic burst dead center at the driver's side of the windshield.

The shot blasted through the window, leaving a hole the size of a quarter with jagged glass edges. Unfortunately for Kurtis, the driver was off-center after seeing him shoot at his partner, so the shot killed his seat and not his head.
