"Uh, mascots." Sleight answered.

"Mascots? Why are you here?" The voice said again, just as slowly. "Yes, We're here to offer our services." Thala said, playing along. "Too late." The voice said, "Store closed permanently." He said in an almost solemn tone.

"Oh, that's too bad." Sleight answered. "Could we get our deposits returned or should we come back another time?"

"No, you shouldn't have come." The voice said and as he said the last word the vents at both ends of the hall broke open and started pouring water. It was visibly filling the room and after a moment the floor was already completely covered in water. "Any last words?" the voice said softly. Thala was looking back and forth, more concerned with their escape then saying their last rites.

"Oh, come on!" Sleight said trying to find something to stand on. "This suit was expensive. Why would you do this?" He whispered to Thala. "How is he seeing us?"

Thala looked up and down the hallway once more, "Furthest corners near the ceiling. There are two cameras." Thala whispered back. "Strange last words. Bye." The slow voice said and the intercom clicked off. Darn it. We need to get this door opened." Thala said and preceded to kick it. It budged but was still locked firm in place. She kicked it over and over again.

"Great, it had to be two." Sleight said and stuck both his hands, the one still bandaged, into the water to hide them. He grit his teeth as he concentrated and two portals appeared at the bases of the cameras causing both to fall into the water. "That should buy us some time." Sleight said getting back up. "Are you going to be able to get that door open?" He asked walking up to Thala.

Thala kicked the door once more and it still didn't open, "Not like this." She said resting her palms on her knees as she caught her breath, "It's a double deadbolt. I can't kick it in."

"Okay, so that's not good." Sleight said putting a hand on his chin as he thought. "How are you with picking locks?"

"Well, I can a little, but I don't have lock picks. And I don't know how long it will take." Thala said, pursing get lips, "We need a crowbar or something similar. I can break this open with one of those." She looked around but the only thing in the hall was the fire hydrant in the wall and a small cabinet with a few utensils.

"A crowbar." Sleight said as he helped to search. "Would it be too early to say I told you so?"

"Yes, yes it would." Thala said ans kicked the door once again, which creaked but didn't give. Again the buzz in the air zipped but it gave sparks this time as one of the outlets blew. The water was getting closer to them and it was a sign of how long they had. "Help me kick this door in." Thala said, more excited then scared.

"Okay, but I'm warning you, I'm pretty wiry." Sleight said as he helped Thala to kick the door.

"I only need a little help." Thala said, kicking extremely hard with Sleight as her foot flied through the door. She slips, sending her landing back with her leg stuck and her face under water.

Sleight cried out in pain as he had forgotten about the bullet wound until then, hurting it once more. He fell down next to Thala and grabbed her shoulder to get her head out of the water. "Are you alright?"

"Yep, I think we're both going to feel that in the morning." Thala said, and pulled her foot out. She Splashed in the water once again before standing up and reaching through the hole. She was able to unlock the door from the other side and pushed it open to drain the water, moments before it it reached the outlets.

ooc: If I knew you could unlock it from the other side I would have let Sleight do it. But you said it was a deadbolt which needs a key to unlock. "Yes." Sleight agreed. "We're pretty beaten up and we haven't even met the bad guy yet."

OOC: Ssh... I accidentally played myself into a corner. I had to wing ding that part. I'm still not the best at this. BIC: Thala got up and heaved a sigh, "Yep, and like you said, we haven't met the bad guy yet. Let's go do that." She said, extending a hand to Sleight.

Sleight grabbed Thala's hand. "Did you always have this one track mind?"

"Have I not had a one track mind since you've met me?" Thala replied in kind, pulling Sleight to his feet. "Let's go." She continued on to the next room which was the kitchen.

Sleight followed after Thala. "Do you think this is a disgruntled employee thing or a customer complaint thing? Maybe someone got demoted to washing noodles."

"I don't know. Nothing seemed off when we were here earlier. Maybe someone decided to hold the Restaurant hostage while escaping from some other crime. Guess we'll ask them after we've got them." Walking through the Kitchen, the voice sounded again, but in the room this time. "Don't move too quickly." He said as slowly as he had spoken.

Sleight stopped in his tracks. "Don't tell me this room is booby trapped too."

"It is." The voice said and at barely a walking pace stepped out from behind a shelf, "Motion sensitive poison darts." he said, barely smirking, as he continued towards the back door.

"I'm telling you, this dude is definitely a disgruntled employee." Sleight told Thala. "Why else would he booby trap the whole place?"

"Doesn't matter to you." The man said, making it to the far door, "Come after me... Or save the Manager... The choice is yours." The man said, slowly opening the door. "What kind of poison?" Thala asked. "Curare." The man replied.

"First it's a poison and now it's a cure?" Sleight asked confused. "I'd just like to state for the record that the guys I got us in trouble with were a lot less crazy."

"Curare is a poison." The man said, "Not deadly, but effective." "We need to split up. You go after the Manager and I'll get turtle brain." Thala said and began slowly pursuing the man. She was going about half walking speed and wasn't getting darted so she lucked out there.

"Okay, just don't get hurt." Sleight told her. "I'd hate to know what the janitor would do to me." He started to slowly move towards the other side of the room.

What played out was likely the most intense slow motion chase you would ever see. Being forced to slow down was good for Thala as she was able think things through for once, not that her ideas were very good. She slipped her arms into her vest and crossed them as she walked across the room, "This is going to take too long. I'm going to draw fire, you make it to the manager." Thala said as the villain was almost through the door. She'd gotten close but he'd be clear of the room if she didn't hurry.
