Pain was sparking up through her ankle and the surrounding area, twisting her mouth into a grimace. Painful as it was, she wouldn't scream and she still had her wits about her. Looking up, she saw Sakura so near escape, only to turn back.
"NO!" she shouted, her voice drowned out by the gunshot. Ducking, she covered her head, but waited for the more serious pain of a bullet. Still...it didn't come. Lifting her eyes, the bullet was
It was hovering over her head.
What?
The man in the white trenchcoat stood, and walked toward them.
Who is this man? His powers are amazing. I've never seen someone like this...who's the Anomaly? She'd heard this term come from the leading Agent's partner, about a heartbeat before this new mage 'fired' a handful of blades at him. The rest are not going to be pleased with this. There were three other Agents to contend with, and more on the way if the one's radio message was any indication.
"Sakura, MOVE!" she half growled as she pushed herself into a partial sitting position. "You," she turned to the third of their kind. "Get her out of here. I'll be fine."
She knew this was a lie. It was an all together possibility that she would be captured, but that would be the punishment for her own clumsiness. Sakura looked shocked at the concern and probably would have protested, but at that moment, all hell broke loose.
The door, which had already been cracked by the initial wave of Agents, was fulled smashed as the reinforcements showed up.
At least you know they're reliable, Cailean thought grimly and with a little fear.
The Agents' eyes automatically lit on their trio and flowed forward as one entity.
"Go!" she shouted again to the pair behind her. Useless for much else, Cailean propped herself up and tried to shove the table beside her down, sending the plates and tea things crashing to the floor. It probably didn't help any, but it did send Sakura and the other backing up a few paces, which put them out the Agents' range as they snatched Cailean from the floor, kicking her legs painfully so she couldn't stand on her own. This swift kick spread the pain and moved it to an unimaginable intensity.
Her vision glazed and before it faded completely, she saw her friends escaping...and felt the pressure of a Halo descending over her temples.

*The silver haired man realized that what he just did only put the two ladies in more trouble than whatever it was they were originally being chased for. For him...taking on strings of Agents was something he had trained for. Sensing the reinforcements, he turns to help Sakura out with Cailean- that is, until the new Agents arrived. Only three, he knew he could handle a measly three...but...it was out of his hands at this point.*
“You! the Anomaly...surrender yourself immediately! and you two, we will talk when we’re done dealing with this one,” The lead Agent roared as they shattered the door of the devastated cafe.
*There, Cailean ordered the man to get Sakura out of the cafe...not necessarily realizing what he was capable of...He hesitated, but was halted when she toppled a table over...at that point he knew that time was being wasted- and he had no time to throw a spell.*
If I can’t save them both...i’ll have to make sure her partner get out at the least...
*Taking Sakura, he darted for the back door- throwing a quick force wave at the agents who tried to tail them. Without looking back, and feeling rather upset with himself...he continued running- Sakura in tow- until they were blocks away from the cafe.*
“If only I’d have prepared a tornado immediately after toppling the second agent from the first wave...I could easily take three on...Worse part is...it was my own fault; if it hadn’t been for my presence they would’ve only sent one backup...I screwed u-” he spoke in a rather ill-tempered voice, stopping himself immediately when he remembered there was a lady right next to him...
*ahem* “Sorry about all this, are you all right?”

Sakura was pulled out the back door. More than anything, she wanted to turn back to help Cailen, but this guy was pulling her making it impossible. Once they were a few blocks away, the silver hair man stopped. And began to catch her breath. The silver haired guy started to blam himself, then he said sorry.
"What do you have to be sorry about!! I was the one, who promised Cailen i would help her. But here she is captured by those Maho people again. It is not we can save her, we don't know even where she is....."
Just then, there was a beeping sound. Sakura took out a page, and glared at before turned it off.
"This not the time to go on a stupid 911 hang up...." She started to say, when she glance back at the guy with a strange. "I think i figured out a way to search for Cailen.
With that she pick a cell phone, and called a number.
"Hi, Communcates, this is 26 rescue..... I am reporting some infomation on a shotting at the downtown Le Bes... ok right the info, they were in two or three black full length ford vans, brand new or a few years old, back tinted windows, and in-state plates. ... Thank you." With that she hang up the phone, turned on pager, and changed it to the police ban.
"Well, if the police stop them we will hear about it at least."

"Connections, not bad...If my past meetings with them mean anything, they're on their way to the Maho central building. Also...i'd say that your friend is already being restrained by a -halo- at this point. Afterwards knowing their usual persistance, they'll send a search party to find me...," the silver haired man spoke in a quite acknowledged fashion- looking like one who has seen this a number of times.
*Turning to the lady, he notices that his explanation only raised more questions- the look of inquiry was very visible in her eyes*
"...if you want to know...I have been trained to take on the Agents of Maho. It's a really long story, but I do what I can to try and help any fellow mages in trouble. Once we know where your friend is...I WILL get her out- you can count on it," he spoke with a fury in his tone, and eyes glew even fiercer.
"Oh...nearly forgot...it isn't exactly a timely introduction, but...my name is Lucifer, Lucifer Deis- most know me as Silver...and you are?" *he motions to a handshake*

*The Agent stopped in front of one of the doors, and opened it*
"You will remain here untill we come get you. Food can be sent using the phone" said the Agent brusquely, then pushed Adam in the room.
*Click* *The door closes, and the Agent has obviously locked it from the outside. Apparently Maho is very cautious about new recruits*
I guess they've never had a homeless person before
*Adam inspects the bathroom quickly, and find exaclyt what he needs. Walking to the door with some small scissors and a few picks, he unlocks the it quite easily.
*Adam opens the door slowly, checking for any watchers. He then slips out the door ready to explore*
*Meanwhile*
"Adam has left his room, sir. Shall we retrieve him?" says an agent.
*One corner of the room contains a desk, but the person sitting behind it cannot be seen. The shadows in the room seem to concentrate around him, as if he willed there to be a dark aura around him. He spoke*
"Negative, 4211. Allow him to wander, but stop him if he finds the Restricted Areas. He is not quite ready for that"
"Yessir"

She is surpised by this guy, but quickly take his hand and returns the shake.
"Sakura Rhodora, my nickname is Cherry. Well, no one actually calls me that, but i figure it might be dangous to use my really name now. Nice to meet you."
As her sunk in she let go of his hand and glanced away. Her confusion was now mixed in with fear. She was in danger.... Cailen was in danger.... Cailen!! this guy.. Silver said she taken to the Maho Central building... and restrained by a....
"What is a halo?"

As odd as it sounds at a time like this, nice to meet you as well...*focuses back on the current situation*as for your friend...*begins to pace slowly* A ‘halo’ is one of Maho’s key tools in retaining their ‘clients.’ I’m not too sure exactly how it functions, although what I do know is that the ‘halo’ is a power limiter -or- restrainer. ‘Halos’, when placed on you, use a special mechanism that effectively cuts a mage’s power to harmless levels when he/she tries to cast anything.
I can try to contact her through telekinesis...but if she is wearing a halo...it won’t go through. Other than that, and the call you placed- I don’t see what else we can do...and I won’t advocate rushing into the Maho HQ.
Waiting is the best option at this point...there is a possibility that they haven’t made it back yet, and if so maybe one of her friends have spotted them.

Everything was so quiet, like a spot very far from humanity. There was no sound either; a silvery curtain covered everything: her sight, her vision, her mind.
Where am I? What happened?
It was so hard to form a coherent thought, muchless any sort of thought at all.
As fuzzy as everything was, it suddenly became loud and bright. Sights and sound slammed into her like a car crashing into a rock wall. The sound of many people crowded into a small space pounded against her ears as her vision slowly began to show her shapes. Reflex made her curl into a fetal position. When her back arched, it hit a barrier that caused a pain so horrid she screamed like never before.
The pain left her breathless, but it had helped to clear her sight. When she was finally able to see clearly, she looked around...
...and wished she'd never woken up.

((okay, let me be clear...honestly, i’m not sure as to what i’m doing at this point...but let's get this moving eh?))
*By this point, Silver had lost track of time...he was still wondering as to how he got himself into this situation...A few agents are not something out of his hands...he could have taken all of those agents in a heartbeat...Nevertheless what was done, was done...Silver now stood with his newfound friend, Sakura, still pondering a course of action*
“hmmm...it’s been too long...If we’re to have any luck in finding your friend miss Sakura...we’ll have to act now...that is, if you’re willing to storm ‘their’ H.Q.” he spoke to Sakura, in a less than enthusiastic manner
I wasn’t planning on this...what was she thinking...whoever that was...that’s the last time I let instinct takeover...a few agents are nothing to the numbers i’ve dealt with before...

Sakura stared at this guy, um Silver's expression for a moment. What is this guy thinking? But.... Cailen is there i think. I promise to help her, but how will it if we get caught as well. I don't how much i can help. I am not strong or anything... [/i]
Looking again at Silver, she voiced her concerns. "I hope this means you have some plan to get in there. If you do fine, then i will do it. I promised her and if life is in danger I will honor that."
Glancing away and avoiding Silver's eyes, she continue in a grave voice. "I am not strong. My fighting skills are nothing compaired to a trained person. I know only enought to survive against a few type of squard calls. My powers are healing. Making plants grow. And i am not sure if that will help us at all."
