<strong>The Streets of Briar Rose</strong><br/><br/>As Fox waited for the stranger to show herself(hisself?) she heard the crack of gunfire.  At the same time glass exploded in the street across from her where the stranger had waved the flashlight.  She heard a scramble in the building, of the stranger beating a hasty reatreat the other way, but by the time she'd found shelter herself the stranger she'd been trying to meet was gone.  Judging by the sound of the gunshot the sniper was somewhere over by the church.  Might even be up ontop of the roof of the church.<br/><br/>Whoever was out there wasn't the kind of person who made trades.  They were the kind of person who shot first and asked questions later.<br/><br/><strong>The Outskirts of Briar Rose</strong><br/><br/>Nick didn't see Fox or Lynn's flashlight, but he damn sure heard the gunshot.  He reached out and slapped a hand over Marie's mouth.  He didn't want to take a chance she'd scream.  "Shhh.  Not near us."<br/><br/>He handed her the binoculars.  "Stay put and watch the town."<br/><br/>If there was a sentry in the building his full attention would now be focused on the town.  Nick broke from cover and sprinted to the building and plastered himself up against a wall.  Cautiously he looked into a window.<br/><br/><strong>Antique Shop</strong><br/><strong>Moving Lynn for Angzyn to advance the plot</strong><br/><br/>She didn't see the sniper, but she damn sure knew when she was being shot at.  She was out the building and into the twilight before the echose of the shot had died away.<br/><br/>((OOC:  Angzyn's character fades into the ruins of Briar Rose.  When Angzyn returns, she can resume control of her character at that point.))
