(IC) Lost In Dreams [Peter]

[the_matrix_walker]

Peter sets off for the town, increasing to breakneck speed once clear of the gathering.

'They'll come, if I have to drag them!' Peter thinks to Senarich as he bounds through the forest.

Senarich obliges with the running enhancement. Peter runs into town, and is about 100 yards from Kissinger's house (still with the stealth enhancements) when a bullet buzzes past him.

Peter finds some cover and looks for the shooter.

'oh crap! Someone's shooting at us!'

[ericthered]

Peter dodges off to the side of the road as a second shot is fired, going wide. Crouching next to a house, he sees a pair of policeman with riffles. One is staring just to the left of his location, and the other is scanning around, seemingly confused. The weapons appear to be among the newer weapons he's seen. He's not sure if they are bolt action or semi-automatic.

Peter pauses a moment to listen and observe the policemen... He wonders if they were actually shooting at him, and did they know what they were shooting at? he glances at his hands and body to check that Rider's "Stealth Mode" is working.

'Rider, do you think they're cracking down on "demons" all over town? '

If the men do not reveal any clues in the next moment, Peter resumes heading for Kissinger's house... bursting in on arrival.

[ericthered]

Stealth mode is still on.

Rider: "I'd say they were firing at us. Yes, We're in the middle of a crackdown, and yes, the police are really jumpy. I'd guess that they could hear footsteps from running hard or see something different when our feet hit the ground -- we've been in conflict for a while. They likely have been trained on identifying the location of an invisible target."

The men are watching Peter's location, but he is able to stealthily double around and get to Kissinger's house. Bursting in is a problem though: the door is locked, and the house is very sturdy.

[the_matrix_walker]

Peter heads around back to see if the door is open, and checks to see if he can see any activity through the windows on his way around. He knocks on the back door, hopefully out of most sight lines.

[ericthered]

Does he remain in stealth mode while knocking on the door?

[the_matrix_walker]

He does want to stay stealthy

[ericthered]

Someone comes to the door, stays there for a little while, and then starts walking away.
