The Clocktower

[Qardo]

Yell could be heard outside with gunshots to fill the air. Qardo was keeping his assailants at bay as he was throwing them back and throwing anything that wasn't nailed down. He didn't fire a single shot until he started to feel the strain.

He quickly looks around as he quickly started to run for cover as the lead (or whatever they call it now) started to fly now. He slipped behind a crate as Sabrina has already slipped free and he looks up seeing that he could make it if he had some way to by him time.

Just as he was ready to loop around firing three bodies hit the ground in one alley as the explosive sound from a sniper rifle fills the air, "Nice shot..." He muttered as he soon started to jump jump the crates and climb up the ledge. He wasn't as nimble as Sabrina and you'll soon see his loyal sharpshooter who saved his ass more than once. Yet he gets the job done.

As Qardo ran long the edge getting shot at. Sniper Rifle echoes through the air as the shots make their mark.

~~~All the while this was going on~~~

As Sabrina got inside her home in the tower. She wasn't alone. The sounds of shuffling feet were around. Soon a shadow of a Krogan was in the space. Yet there was more than a pair of feet moving but the Krogan was visible. (Can take control of this bit)

[Nova-FoV]

It didn't take long for Sabrina to realize that her place was being ransacked. Which really wouldn't do much good, because she didn't have anything that would be of any value to anyone else. Except for the diamonds that she still held concealed on her person from her encounter with Aldrige and the Batarian. Those she was saving for a particularly needy day.

Despite the fact that she didn't have anything they would take, she didn't like them going through and messing up all of her things. She was unhappy at this development, and blamed it wholly on Qardo. Nevermind the robbers, it was all his fault.

All of these thoughts flashed through her mind in a moment and then they were gone and she was back to instinct mode. The krogan lunged to grab her and she moved to the corner where there was a whip laying in wait. As a child in the circus the lion tamer had taught her how to use the whip, and now when she was forced into a fight, it was her weapon of choice. She grabbed it and unfurled it before the krogan reached her, and he was surprised when he was met by a sharp lash to the face. Everyone inside the tower froze with the deafening crack of the whip, and no doubt it would give Qardo pause outside as well.

[Qardo]

Qardo passed a moment as he was in fact outside the window as he heard the crack. He took a step back as he didn't like whips. Long story on the reason and rather personal.

As he was standing there the people on the ground heard the crack with echoed rather clearly from the tower. Plus an angry Krogan crying out in pain with rage also did that. He heard them speaking as to what was going on up in the tower.

Just about a block away not hearing the whip cracking but a Krogan yelling out from the Clocktower. A female sniper running long the rooftops with ease and speed to get across the streets.

As this sniper was running around to get a clear view of inside the tower. She stops as she set up zooming in. Seeing a female human woman holding a whip that kept a Krogan at bay with each crack of the whip. Yet the shot was poor do to the dirty glass and the thickness would ruin the shot too. So she sat there waiting a bit.

"Qardo....move your ass..." she mutters over the radio to him as through the scope he turns around and throws a guy off the building with the little dandy magic(She just calls Dark Energy that to make it simple on her.).

Now with the Krogan he hisses with anger and rage as he had a clear new scare across his face as it bled from the deep cut. Still be whipped some more he soon grabs it with his free hand as he started to yank it away from this annoying female human.

[Nova-FoV]

Sabrina knew her strength was nothing against a Krogan, so as soon as he grabbed it she let it go. If she didn't, he'd just use it to tug her right to him.

Instead, while he was distracted with the whip she jumped nimbly up onto a table and from there pulled herself up into the open rafters of the building, as they were on the top floor and the builders had never bothered to cover up the bare bones with ceiling tiles. She disappeared into the shadows of the rafters, hoping it would prevent them from shooting her. Yes, she didn't like people going through her things. However, there was only so much she could do about it without getting killed.

[Qardo]

The Krogan threw the whip away as he pulled up his rifle and started to point it up into the rafter. Yet before he was going to fire wildly into them. His attention was pulled as he was called off. Huffing and looking back up. He just lugged on back down the stairs.

Qardo stood there just looking around as the rest of the thugs started to break off. 'What are they up to?" he thought as he stood there on the roof line. Yet still he he shook his head and started to run on to have a look inside the clock tower.

"Hello?" he asks peeking in as he found an access door into the little home.

[Nova-FoV]

Sabrina dropped from the rafters into a crouch, and slowly stood up as she confirmed that it was in fact the same man she'd been talking to before. She didn't say anything, just moved forward and picked up her whip, rolling it up so that she could have it ready in case she need it again.

Silently, she pointed in the direction of the staircase, where the robbers had migrated. The elevator had long since stopped working. The Krogan and his friends were looking through the entire tower, but they'd find nothing. The top floor where she lived was the only one with anything on it. The rest of the floors had only old equipment that was either obsolete or broken by now.

[Qardo]

Qardo just shrugged as he wasn't a man to chase down some to bit thieves. He saw she wasn't hurt and just saw the place trashed. Yet gun fire could be heard once again as the shots were hitting the roof tops this time trying to kill a sniper that finally picked off the Krogan. That was it. The rest just ran off.

"Now...before you bite my head off. I had nothing to do with this," he finally spoke. "Smooth speak, chief," a female voice said over his radio as he realized his radio mic was still active.

[Nova-FoV]

Sabrina glared at him and as she got ready put away her whip she snapped it again, just for good measure, and to show him that she still sort of blamed him even if he claimed it was all chance. She set about recovering from the mess of the robbers, putting away her whip, gathering up remnants of what had been broken- two piles, what could be salvaged and what was no longer any good.

[Qardo]

Qardo backs away, "Well isn't she a dainty one," The female voice over his radio pipes up watching all of this through a 50x zoom scope of a Harpoon IX.

Soon enough Qardo looks back through the glass right at the sharp shooter, "Uh...oh..." She paniced as she soon packed up and left. Looking back he sighed and shook his head, "Well now...I best make my leave then," he said as he just threw a credit card onto the ground to pay for the damages. He made his leave through the way he came.
