Wake up, Deadman...

Luxury sauce and a razor's edge

It's tricky getting a manhole cover back in place after you've already slipped through, but you're damn right he manages before he drops down after Kobra. Ghoul hisses, sucking in air through his teeth as his feet hit the ground. But he's fine! He's so fine that he straightens up with a grin on his face and claps a hand on the Kid's shoulder as he passes him by. Just fine. Ignore the smell of slightly charred flesh, nicely cauterized and hot to the touch under the cover of his vest. He masks the limp like a pro, years of practice. Don't you worry none, KK, it's all copacetic.

As clean as Battery City is on the surface, the sewers still smell like shit. They don't have to walk far to get to the slums, away from the more vigilant surveillance. Underground is the easiest way to ditch their tail. The others should be out by now. Fuckers can't see an obvious distraction even when it's shooting them right in the face. Routine split. One half grabs the loot and gets gone, the other half takes the hits and keeps 'em busy. That was Ghoul and KK. Kept 'em real busy. A little too busy. Took a few too many hits.

But he's good. They're both alive and that's all that matters. That and remembering which damn left to take before climbing back up to the surface and making a B-line straight for the safehouse.

"Kidshoes, you remember the way? Can't fuckin' tell up from down in the dark-dark like this. Gotta light?" Bitch Puddin' Poison swiped his goddamn lighter again. Piece of shit-- "It a left or a right at the pass? Left or right?"

Ghoul had originally been headed home after his encounter with Pinkman, but with his face the way it was and Kobra and Stiles bound to be asking questions, he ended up taking a detour before getting in sight of the front porch. Take a right, down the street, past two houses, then a left. Keep going. The bridge...

The broken bridge where he'd gone fishing with Jet. That's where he was headed. Getting there without anyone seeing him would be the tricky part. Bruises were already starting to form on his face, his mouth was still filled with blood. Red ran down his chin and onto his shirt. His hands were shaking now that he was away from Jesse and away from the gun. They hadn't shaken at the time, but they definitely were now.

Just need time to think. Need some time with the pain and the throbbing and the stars behind his eyes. Gotta get down the street and down to the bridge. Not exactly looking where he's going. So much more used to people running into him lately, that he's not making sure he doesn't run into anyone else.

The heat of the mid-day desert sun was nothing compared to the heat coming off the engine. The car had stalled just past the boarder into zone four, leaving them stranded next to a big rock, a slightly smaller rock, and a smug-looking cactus that could stand to be taken down a few pegs. If it had been a full house, this wouldn't even be a thing. No problems, no worries. The four of them would have pushed while the girl took the wheel and got them the rest of the way to the drop point.

But they were about two and a half joys short.

Jet and Kobra were in no shape to be running right now and it was easier to just leave 'em at the diner with the girl while he and Party met the contact. Simple supply hand off, no funny business, easy enough with two.

Just... maybe not these two. Not that Ghoul didn't have Party's back 'till the end and then some! Shit just got kind of intense when there wasn't anyone to break up the inevitable three to four fights a day.

Ghoul stared at Party in the driver's seat just long enough for the stupid to sink in. It took approximately nine seconds. Then it was a huffy, pissy, tantrum of an exit as he got out of the car and circled around to the hood. It was steaming.

"Fuck, P. I told you to watch the fucking gauge!"
