<strong>Ricky Mulch: Getting nervous<br/>In the Blood Bar</strong><br/><br/>Ricky was about to shoo Red off so he could focus on getting Barry out when the drunk did the job for him.  Another duet of bullet reports punctured the room; that, coupled with Red's appearance, distracted Ricky.  Barry ducked out from under his arm and disappeared out of the door with a slam.<br/><br/>The bouncer turned quickly and pushed open the door.  He stuck his head outside, shivering slightly in the cold air.  Barrys shouts were already fading into the distance, the man himself swallowed by the darkness.  He wasn't Ricky's problem anymore.<br/><br/>He felt a tug on his flannel.  He pulled back into the bar, letting the door swing closed.  Ricky shrugged at Sylvia, then jerked his head in the general direction of downtown.  The bar owner laughed silently and went into the backroom.  He turned his attention back to Lauren and Red, the former being the one who had grabbed his sleeve, in time to catch the second half of the writer's suggestion.<br/><br/><em>"Is there roof access?  Maybe someone could give me a leg up to have a look around.  Those gun shots are too far apart, too controlled...It's almost like they're saying 'come have a look while we have a bite,' you know?  I mean, if there was hell breaking loose, don't you think it would be a little more active about it?"</em><br/><br/>Ricky eyed her contemplatively, mulling over his options.  After a few seconds, he spoke.  "You think there's a thinker out there?  Well, it's possible...  Hmm, there<em>is</em>a maintenance ladder around the outside of the bar that goes straight to the roof.  If there is something going on by the Tower and the Town Square, we should be able to see it from there."  Ricky looked at Red.  "You in?"<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Inventory and Character Status</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Inventory:</strong><br/>1.)
