[ the team's almost getting kind of good at this.

almost.

kat's finally got the police hq blueprints on lock and tapped into all the security protocols, so it should be a simple in and out tonight. of course, they are breaking into a police station of all places, but kat's confident they've got this shit on lock.



buuuut then there's that whole thing where she slams the trunk closed on all their weapons and gear, dressed head to toe in black like the other two, only to find Jaka standing on the opposite side of their car, one eyebrow raised behind the sunglasses he's sporting even at night. he smirks and says: ]

Isn't this a familiar sight.

Comments

[slay]

Not a good kind of familiar, believe me.

[ like ... the last time he helped them out, she almost bled out. and the only reason she's tempering that animosity is because she knows he REALLY DID HELP and she is just bitter because it was a bad experience and he was the only new aspect. ]

[bigbad]

[Spike scowls at him, giving him a suspicious glare. He is not a fan of lawyers.]

Shouldn't you be suing someone or something right about now?

1/2

[lawofsurvival]

Now, now. If we're going to play it that way, shouldn't your kind be sleeping right about now? Interesting hours, you keep.

Did we forget something the other night, worth returning for?

[shootfirst]

You know, for a lawyer, you're pretty laidback about all this B&E stuff. Shouldn't you be, I don't know, a little more concerned with the law? [ he merely gives her an enigmatic smile and turns a waiting glance back to the other two ]

[slay]

Or, here's a fun twist, we could not pull out the "your kind" all around and focus on getting whatever was on that anonymous tip that got Rafael arrested in the first place. Who likes that plan?

[bigbad]

[Spike doesn't really give a shit about his kind so he's still just glowering. At least his kind is straight forward about their evilness. ....or so he assumes. With vampires that aren't him.]

Last I checked, this was an invite-only break-in party.

1/2

[shootfirst]

Yeah, what exactly is this 'we' crap? [ JUDGMENTAL STARE, BUFFY ]

[lawofsurvival]

Oh, that.

You mean the tape that was shown to me in the very office you clearly plan to walk into tonight?

Such a shame you've neglected to invite anyone who saw precisely where it was filed.

[slay]

That, exactly, would be the "we" crap.

[ she turns a 'told you so' look to kat, and then a harder look to spike to shut him up. buffy's got this shit ok. ]

We need it.

[bigbad]

[Spike might argue more but Buffy is the boss of him. He crosses his arms and looks grumpy about it, but he nods sharply, not taking his eyes off Jaka.]

Fine. But I don't like it. [He's REALLY SKETCHY. And this is coming from a vampire.]

[lawofsurvival]

Good. That keeps us even. [ and he slides into the front passenger seat :') since i assume spike is driving again. kat rolls her eyes and hops in the back. ]

[slay]

[ everyone just assumes spike will drive, but buffy definitely looks like she just got stomped all over when jaka steals shotgun. what a dick. she stands for a moment, startled, then moves to climb into the seat behind him. ]

[bigbad]

[Yeah Spike is kind of pissed about it too. This is becoming rapidly less datelike. He slides into the driver's seat and shoots Buffy an unhappy glance in the mirror, but doesn't fuss about it. Asshole.

At least his anger doesn't affect his driving. Nat 20 drive check.]

[shootfirst]

I cooked up some potions, by the way, seeing as how Myri wasn't coming and near-death experiences tend to follow you around like a lost puppy. [ kat pulls out a couple vials of blue liquid and hands them up between the seats, before thinking twice about giving one to spike, and handing both to buffy ] Oh right, 'cept they'd probably... just kill Spike. [ so chipper :) ]

[slay]

Let's all hope the police aren't advocating murder for break-ins, then. And that no one has sent giant spiders to infiltrate the station ahead of us.

[bigbad]

[Spike reaches into his pocket and pulls out a flask, waving it at the ladies behind him.] I'll be all right.

[lawofsurvival]

They'll never have cause to even suspect our presence. [ there's an unspoken 'if y'all don't fuck it up' ] And if they do, leave it to me.

[slay]

And what exactly is your back-up plan if they do spot you?

[lawofsurvival]

Nothing we need to worry about, seeing as how I expect things will proceed smoothly.

[bigbad]

Things never proceed smoothly. Especially when you go around expecting it. How about sharing your plan with the class?

[slay]

Yeah, not loving the big mystery act. If we're supposed to just be able to rely on you handling this, you can share how.

[lawofsurvival]

Perhaps when I hear you actually expound on one of your own.

[bigbad]

We go in, poke around, get the evidence. Doesn't take much expounding.

[slay]

It's probably in an evidence lock-up, right? Those don't usually have windows. We'll have to find a way to borrow someone's clearance. [ by borrow she means mug a police officer yes. ]

[shootfirst]

I can magic up an ID. Easy breezy beautiful.
