New Jersey, Thursday Late Morning/Early Afternoon

[l1ttle_billy]

Five police cars, one fire truck, and two ambulances arrived. Uniformed police got out of the cars and began a sweep of the immediate area. The first man out of one of the cars however, was not wearing a uniform. Well, not a police uniform at any rate.

The man in the black suit strode purposefully towards Snake-Eyes.

"What in god's name happened here? Scarlett said you and Billy were going to rescue Storm Shadow. She didn't say anything about a pitched battle in the middle of Jersey with the Dreadknocks."

Snake-Eyes could only shrug, and started signing an explanation.

[Live play of the aftermath of Billy's plot. For those who are already involved, and NFB due to distance. Small OCD coming is up.]

"I'm okay," Tori shrugged, only half-lying. She was used to pain, but her leg was really bothering her.

It wasn't just the pain, it was the fact that she'd allowed herself to be open enough to get the injury in the first place.

The man played by Robert Patrick. Sat in a chair near the door. "That's good. The Dreadknocks are some nasty customers. My name is Duke. Among other things I'm Billy's caseworker with the witness protection program."

"So I've noticed," Tori quipped, smiling ever so slightly. "Nice to meet you Duke, I'm Tori," she offered out her hand to him.

He smiled slightly too, and shook her hand. "Pleased to meet you as well. I wanted to ask you, you and your friends, the others that accompanied Billy, you're all from Fandom High?"

"Likewise," Tori smiled. "We are, yes," she nodded. "Though I'm part of the alumni crowd, have been since May."

"That's good." he said. "It makes things less complicated."

"That it does," Tori nodded. "I just hope he'll be okay," she admitted, the worry evident in her voice and eyes.

No, she hadn't seen Billy yet. She'd like to hurt his father for what he'd done.

A lot of people would. Among other things. Duke was pleased that he didn't have to explain why it simplified matters. "Lifeline's the best medic there is." he said proudly. "And from what I hear, Billy's gonna pull through just fine. He won't be doing much jumping around for a while though. At least he won't if he doesn't want Scarlett to kick his ass."

"That's good to hear," Tori smiled, meaning it. It made her feel better. "Oh, great. Now I won't have to worry as much," she admitted. Even though she'd still totally worry. Shh, it was what friends did.

"Yeah, apparently I won't be doing much training or surfing either, not until this leg heals up. Got to give the stitches time to settle," she frowned at that.

Duke was no stranger to injury. "It's tough." he sympathized. "Living an active life style and then suddenly having to rest."

"It is, yeah," Tori nodded, sighing. "I mean, I've gotten injured before, but not by something so trivial and one that I could have, should have easily avoided."

Really, knifed? In the leg? By a regular thug?

"It happens to the best of us."

"Guess it does," Tori admitted, with a slight sigh.
