You wake up to the sound of car alarms, emergency sirens, and occasional gunshots. The TV you left on last night is now a screen full of static accompanied by an unsettling static sound joining with the chaotic orchestra outside. What could possibly be going on at this hour of the early morning? Judging by the dim light peeking through the window, the sun is just beginning to come up signaling the time must be no later than 6am. Looks like it's going to be a long day...
Isuzuscratches her bum...yawns looking at the static on the TV... picking up the remote to surf through the channels to see if she can find something on one of them. After that she grabs her smartphone as she heads over to the lone window of her tiny cramped studio apartment pulling the shade to one side to peek outPerception21 to the street below to if she can tell what might be going on to cause such a racket!
As you look out the window of your apartment, you see multiple car accidents in the street, and people running, appearing to be chased. Police are shooting at and being attacked by some of these people, and an ambulance with the name of the hospital your sister works at is trying to maneuver through the wreckage. Some store windows are broken, and a small child is standing in the middle of the street looking all around as if lost.
Isuzuquickly tries her phone call to her sister Mei make sure she is alright. If she can get through to her will tell her to stay where she is at (work or home) and Isuzu will head to her if voice communications not working the will try and send a text message. Either way, she will quickly get dressed grab her pack and pistol (1 clip in the gun, 2 in her backpack with the rest of her gear she usually carries when out on a job)... she will then lock up her apartment and head down into the small parking garage to jump on her motorcycle and head directly for Mei' and Jax's house to check on them.... ignoring everything and everyone else for the time being... worried about her sister than what exactly is going on.
You call your sister, and after multiple rings, you are directed to her voicemail. As you make your way to the parking garage, you hear more screaming and gunshots, in addition to the occasional screeching of tires and honking of horns. When you reach your motorcycle, you find that it has been knocked over on its side, and in the adjacent parking space sits a car with the lights on and the driver's door open. In the seat sits a seemingly dead woman covered in blood. with a large wound on her neck. You smell gasoline around your motorcycle and there is a runoff of blood running from the open car door to where your bike is laying.
Isuzuis getting a bit more paranoid nowPerception15 looking around for potential dangers she makes her way to her motorcycle to get it standing up and walking it (pushing it along) away from car and smell of gas before she checks it closer and looks to start it up.
You dont see any immediate danger, but you can hear unsettling chaos all around and a loud scream echos through the parking garage. The bike starts fine, but instead of the full 4gal of gas you parked it with, the fuel gauge now shows 2 gallons.
Isuzuwill close it up and will make do with what she has and will figure something else out later as needed. So she will start it up and head out to her sister's house...
As you make your way to your sister's house, you start to notice less chaos, but traffic is still pretty congested, and emergency vehicles are everywhere. after fighting the traffic, you finally reach your sister's driveway and notice her car is not there. you see a black and white 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle in the driveway, which you recognize as her husband's car. news helicopters are now flying in the direction of the center of the city, and the hospital Mei works at.
Isuzu rushes up to the front door and starts pounding on it calling out her sister's name... "Mei, Mei, are you in there? Are you alright? It's me... Kwan... something is going on!"
Jax getting in late last night is still sleeping comfortably in his soft cozy bed for the first time in months... and is suddenly woken by a loud banging on the door. He gets up and calls down “I’m coming!” throws on a shirt and pants, walks down the stairs to the front door catching the last bit of what was yelled by Kwan, pulls the door open. “Kwan what’s going on? Are you alright?”
Isuzu pushes past Jax heading inside nervously, calling to her sister, "Mei! Mei!!!" Turning to Jax... "please don't tell me she working a shift at the hospital?"Then begins to ramble, "get your shit together Jax... we need to go get her... now! I don't but something big is up, all is breaking loose the closer to the city you get. I don't know if its some sort of accident, natural disaster, invasion or what but all hell is starting to break loose and things are breaking down. Trust me, Jax, I know crazy and weird ass shit. I can ride out most anything but Mei is different, I am worried about her... whatever is up the hospital is going overwhelmed and turn into crazy town if it hasn't already... so grab a gun or something and let's go!"
OOC: Given the traffic situation that is only going to get worse Isuzu suggests they double up on her bike that will allow them to move faster and squeeze through any traffic jams and roadblocks etc. that once they get Mei they work out transport for the three them out... either steal something or borrow something from the garage (chop-shop) Isuzu works out of (or she can jack/steal a vehiclethis her thought but she won't mention that to Jax at this time) as possibilities! In any event, since they live in a house with a lawn, Jax must have to do mowing etc. and will have gas for the mower she can use to top off her bike tank with gas. If Jax wants to take his own vehicle they can see if her bike will fit (though doubt without a truck) so either they double on the bike or Jax can follow her in his vehicle see they make it way and play by ear as they so if one car or bike fails runs into problems they can double up later along the way as needed.
(I mean Jax has a lot of gear idk if it’d all fit on the bike, plus it’d be a shame to ditch my car...)
”Alright, alright calm down Kwan I’m sure everything’s fine. Mei’s at the hospital we can go and check on her. I doubt I’ll need it but I’ll carry my pistol on me, and if things are as bad as you say and we’re being invaded or whatever I have a few more guns and things in the trunk of my car left there from the hunting trip we took the last time I was home. Let me throw on some socks and shoes and we’ll go.”
"Alright, Jax we can play it safe, your way and go together in your car just don't get too attached to anything going in I think best we travel as light as possible maybe leave cache points along the way for excess or bulky gear, food and weapons. Too much stuff going in will slow us down and make us targets of lowlife's wanting our gear. So I will stash by bike along the way... somewhere away from houses/people and get in car with you. On the way back or out of the city with Mei safe we can look to if needed to but together more gear, equipment and transport!" Isuzu will grab a few bottles of water and a couple cans of tuna to throw in her pack keeping things very light adding these to her current gear. Then some more in triple plastic bag that she will stash with her bike when she goes to find an out of the way spot along the way. Idea is fast and light, not taking too much time to delay heading for Mei...
“Look Kwan, I appreciate you being so worried for your sister but we don’t exactly know what’s happening here. You said it could be anything and that people are just going a bit nuts, we could get down there and the police could’ve already handled things. You’re taking tuna like we won’t have access to food again. This could just be a riot in which case we’ll grab Mei come back here and wait things out... it isn’t like this is the apocalypse.” *smirks* and follows Kwan out the door
Isuzu ignores Jax and walks past him giving him the finger. He'd in to her bike so they can get moving. Along the way she will be looking for a spot to hide it and join Jax in his car.

Some fuel must have leaked out of the vent tube while the bike was on its side.
