papalobo: (Got me)

Day 264 - Thursday, September 11th

[Max sleeps; has as he'd thought, he achieves nothing, and he's not even a small-talk source of comfort or somebody to soothe Ash's nerves before his two AM meeting with yet another Chinese teenager. Something about Chinese teenagers seems to always spell trouble for Ash, and now he's in a mess involving no less than four of them.

But Max doesn't move. If Ash comes to see him, setting that pill counter and the note about the smoothie, he may notice he hasn't so much as shifted a finger. Ash has had to turn to painting, but there's no need to lock that room before, or even for a long while after. The only one in this house besides him is a breathing corpse.

But Shawn's ready and waiting for him at one, prepared to be decked out a wires that Ling's likely to hang him with if he finds out about them.]

I'm not asking you to do anything for me. Just keep looking for Wu.

[ He became a monster, and he's still losing. At least being a monster had always been a means to an end, but what happens when it's not enough?

He's gotten weak. He should have traded Ling.

Instead, he's heading toward the shopping center itself. ]
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (worry; window)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-06 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's akin to suicide, he knows. It'll make them move the men, he knows. The smartest move would be the long con. The smartest move would be trading Ling to Yut Lung. He'd over-gambled Ling's worth to them. So, who did they actually work for?

The shopping center has to eventually come into sight. ]
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (against the wall)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-06 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ They stopped in one place for a long time. Ash tries to overly the map with the shops he sees around him.

They'll probably be looking for him. ]
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (ready to kill)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-06 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ As if he needs to add 'beating up an old woman' to his list of sins today. Ash is going to hope for a back entrance.

And Max says there's no reason to stay so skinny. He can fit through tight spots. ]
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (bored and won't hide it)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-06 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ If he dies by out of date fire escapes...

But Shawn should be here. It's going to be slow. Maybe he'll luck out and Shawn will be sitting all tied up in front of the window.

Time to get started. Instead of looking into the window, he'll use his phone to take a photo of what's inside if a window shouldn't have curtains. He'll have to make use of the rooms that do and come back. ]
jadedlynx: (talk to the back)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-06 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ And he's on a fire escape that threatens to yell out if he moves too quickly.

With open windows, he can listen before risking the photo. At the very least, he did hear the men talking. ]
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (no shirt; listening and thinking)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-06 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Found you, assholes.

They've been up all night. They'll need to sleep soon. It's still darkish so Ash does have some cover.

Sitting on his hunches, he starts his translator app. It won't be perfect for the distance, but maybe he'll get some idea of what's being said. He'll also try to discern how many men are inside. ]
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (talking to marvin)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-06 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Three minutes isn't enough to make a decision. He'll wait 15 to make the call. ]
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (getting repetitive)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-06 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Shawn.

One person down.

Ash is still silent as he comes into the window. He needs to figure out where the man is in in the apartment. ]
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (no shirt; listening and thinking)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-07 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[ If he's talking to Shawn, his back should be to Ash if he's not behind another door. The inner parts of the room would all face away from the washroom.

He moves slowly down the hall. ]
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (facing forward; playing cool)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-07 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Even captors like to look at their victims when they're speaking. As long as there's a conversation, the door shouldn't be the point of focus.

When Ash slowly opens the door, he's still prepared in case he's wrong.]
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (bored and won't hide it)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-07 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Couldn't they keep him some place a little less annoying?

It's annoying, but Ash can't keep waiting around. There will be other men.

Open the door. The guy will turn around to see who is coming in. A knife throw should plant the blade into the man's head. Curiosity will be his first response and even if he gets a moment of realization before the blade kills him, his instinct will be to point the gun at Ash, not shoot Shawn.

Planning out the movements inside, he opens the door to follow through with just that. ]
