Re: The rooftops
As he scans the gems and they do not respond he pockets them quickly in a small bag he had brought along. He gets to the end when an amber gem peaks a change in the oscilation of his guaging device. A grin spreads across his lips as he sets that aside into a pocket of his jacket. He still had a little time. Now to work on the rest of the stash. Putting the device away he starts pocketing as much cash as he can from the safe. He tries to stay calm but his heartrate increases. He had done his homework but with his heartrate increasing, his body heat increases. And not being able to connect with the security system in time. Eventually a nearby speaker kicks on.
"Well well well, what do we have here. Hmmm? Some little para that thinks they can steal from us. I don't know how you got in there. Frankly I don't care. What you should know, is that we did take one precaution. We've set up a disruption matrix around that cell. You teleported in, we were assured that it would not allow you to teleport out by this scientist we kidnapped. So, we're going to wait for a few more minutes till you pass out. And if you're lucky, maybe you'll wake up later."
Zeke had to chuckle as he continues to pocket a little more money, before walking over to the intercom and hitting the button.
"Few minutes huh? Alright I guess that means we get to talk. See I know there's no honor among thieves. Really I live by two rules. Never let them see you bleed. And always have a way out. So, let's play a game while we wait. What rhymes with 'chick'?"
"What? Oh what the hell. The more I get you to talk, the faster that air gets sucked out right. I'll play your little game, freak. Let's see. Dick, hick, kick, lick, nick, pick, rick, sick, tick."
Watching the cameras he has to smile as he crouches and gets ready to sprint. Making sure his loot is secure. It seemed to be perfect timing. Just then, the alley was clear.
"I'm sorry, but the answer I was looking for was, 'click'."
As he says click he sets off the trigger he had absorbed into himself, blowing the explosives and shattering the back of the safe, slamming it into the abandoned building behind. Making a rather decent sized hole in it. Leaping through the hole he tucks and rolls, moving into the building next door.
"Damn it! Fucking ass hole! Get on him! Figure out where the fuck he went and get on him!"
Radio chatter erupts as the guards rush down and shine flashlights into the building. As they do there is a large black curtain out of reach of them to push back and the sound of an engine reving.
"Shit! He's making a break for it. Go! GO!"
A van rips through the rusty doors of the warehouse and speeds off towards a sight of new construction with a runoff into the drainage channels. Three black cars take off in pursuit but other start to enter the warehouse.
Until a digitized voice starts to count down.

Have a nice day.
The warehouse crumbles on itself as set charges causes it to implode.
