Vic took the coat, putting it on to hide the blood and wounds on her body before moving to Swindle's alt mode and getting into the passenger side. First order of business once they headed out would be to get that bullet wound seen too, tomorrow she really needed to have a talk with Firelaunch. The redhead though, just sighed for now "Somethin' tells me it's gonna be a long, long fuckin' week." she commented, relaxing back in the seat and bringing her right hand up to put a little pressure on the wound, hopefully to get it to stop bleeding soon, too much blood loss was not a good thing. Right now, she just wanted to get the hell outta dodge.

Swindle pulled out of the parking lot and headed back towards the hotel, careful not to go too fast and activating a device to change his displayed license plate once out of the parking lot. "Well at least you only got shot in the arm, there are a lot worse places to take a bullet." he said leaning back himself. "Shame it's just too much to ask for one nice night where nothing goes wrong though. Can never just be easy..." He paused for a moment then looked at her sort of curiously. "Is it sad that I'm used to this sort of thing? That it happens to me so often that it doesn't even phase me and I don't even need to think about what to do, I just do it automatically and make sure everything is in it's proper place so I won't get in trouble before disappearing again?" He shook his head a bit with a sigh. "I mean, I used to think it was normal but then I came to find out it's just one way of life and I'm really starting to wonder if it's the right one..."

Firelaunch backed out of where he was parked and moved to another where he could still be seen by Swindle but also make it out faster and both would needs the get away. Parking again all he could do was sit and wait while keeping an eye on the high way but he tensed as some sirens went off and two police cars raced past the place, heading to restaurant. <"Hey Swindle don't mean to interrupt anything but got two police units heading that way, keep on your toes."> He said over the com-link though it wasn't often he warned others. Though due to the situation it was best that they kept a bit alert and avoided more trouble.

"Ya preachin' to the choir there Swindle. Any time I try to have a nice, relaxing drink, I have this problem. It's neva the right way, but sadly, assholes have a way of forcin' it on ya." she said with a small sigh as she heard sirens down the road "Well shit. . ." she said as she sunk lower in the seat so she wouldn't be visible, goodness knows that bright red, long hair was a distinguishing feature that could pinpoint her easy, so she ducked from view to avoid that being seen "Yeeeea, figures. . .they normally do get called after one of the worse fights goes down. Changin' up ya holoform might be a good idea in case they got a descrip of you as well from the employees. Alternate route may also be rather useful." she said, hoping that they wouldn't be bothered, that they could just go through an alternate route and not even be seen.

<"I hear 'em, Firelaunch, thanks."> Swindle sent back as he turned down a side street. "You don't have to tell me twice. Like I said, this happens to me a lot. The holoform flickered for a moment after the turn, his outfit shifting to something much more casual, a purple t-shirt and khaki slacks with a pair of normal black sunglasses while his hair fell naturally with no sign that it had ever been slicked back. He also shifted the trench coat he had given to the redhead to to a black hoodie to hide her hair. He wasn't sure if it was her style or not but it did serve a purpose and he was sure she'd recognize that. He knew the back roads of this area well and it wasn't long before they pulled into the parking lot of the hotel.

Firelaunch could only wait and watch for them as he heard the sirens fade a bit in sound farther down the road. It seemed a bit befor he finally saw Swindle and he relaxed only slightly but there was still tension from the red truck as his engine quietly came to life and he opened the passenger side door to allow Vic inside. It seemed their stay there was much shorter then it should have been but better to run while they could instead of being taken away and causing a scene.

"Jus' makin' sure, I like to cover all bases." she said, sitting up once more once they came to the hotel parking lot, seeing Firelaunch waiting there. She pulled off the now hoodie, handing it to Sven "Thanks man, maybe I'll run into ya against soon eh? have a drink that DOESN'T involve gunfire and bustin' heads." she said as he pulled in, the redhead then opened the passenger door right as Swindle passed Firelaunch's alt mode, transfering to the red truck without even needing Swindle to stop fully, once inside she looked to her arm "May need ya help fishin' this bullet out bro, I swear, I am really getting tired of a trip to the bar ending in a bar fight, it's worse when they follow ya." she said closing the door.

"Hope so, it would be a nice change of pace. Just give me one minute before you guys take off." No sooner had he said that than his holoform disappeared, reappearing in the hotel room they had been in earlier. He quickly grabbed the bottle of rum he had brought for Vic from the nightstand where she had told him to put it earlier and headed out the door, quickly making his way back to the parking lot as he pulled a marker out of his pocket and wrote a phone number on the bottle. It was a fake number that forwarded directly to his comm frequency, he normally reserved it for business but in this case he would make an exception. As he approached Firelaunch's passenger side he held the bottle up for Vic to see. "Figured you might want this." He then indicated the number written on there. "I know Firelaunch knows how to contact me but just in case something comes up I figured I'd give you a way too."

Firelaunch was relieved to see them safe and activated his holo-form to take a look at the bullet wound,"Well it's in there and if I hav to I'll get now." He offered but looked at Swindle as he came over, watching the arms dealer and Vic for a moment but didn't comment on anything. Inwardly he thought the two seemed alike and possibly liked each other though Firelaunch wouldn't say anything, not yet at least. For all he knew he might be wrong and they were only good friends but he'd keep an optic on them both. ~"Hey Swindle if you do ever need a hand, com me I'm normally on the road."~ He said before looking at the wound again.

Vic took the bottle with a nod "A'right, thanks man, nice meetin' ya aft an' be safe gettin' outta here' alright." she said with a small smirk before looking over the wound again herself, sighing a bit "Jus' grab some tweezers and pull it out. Don't need pain killers at least, good thing about booze. Not like I'd want pain killers anyways for something like this. May need ya help in stitchin' up the wound after though bro." she said, slightly annoyed at her luck "Pull it before we head, stitch it on the way." she added.

~"Thanks, Firelaunch, I'll try not to bug you too often. Trouble does have a habit of finding me though, sometimes I swear it has some kind of radar or something."~ Swindle said, adding the last part in a joking tone. He had to admit, it was nice to have someone to call who was actually willing to help. Most he had to call on for help did so begrudgingly because they owed him for one thing or another. The holoform nodded to Vic. "Will do. You take care yourself, I'm hoping to get the chance to talk to you again. Wouldn't mind seeing you either." he said before the holoform dissipated. There was a slight pause before the hummer pulled out of the parking lot and drove off. Part of him really wanted to join the two and travel with them. It would be a nice escape for a while and with good company, but he knew full well that wasn't an option, not for him.

"Hold on Sis."Lance turned slightly to reach in the back seat, opening a compartment that held a few tools he kept just in case for minor repairs and he grabbed some tweezers before shutting the compartment and turned back to Vic. "Alright here we go." He said carefully working the tweezers to be able to get the bullet within the wound and with a slight tug got it out. "Better?" he asked using his teeth to tear a part of his shirt sleeve and tied it around the wound in her arm for now until they needed to stitch it. Though after this was done Firelaunch backed out and began to leave the hotel, listening carefully for any sirens though was heading well away from the hotel before the police would get there.

Vic tensed just slightly when the bullet was removed before giving a relieved sigh "Much, thank ya bro." she said leaning over to half hug Firelaunch and kiss his cheek. As they pulled out of the parking lot, she relaxed in the seat. "Sorry about this, I don't know why every time I go into a damned bar this happens, guys just can't take 'fuck off' as an answer in those bars. I'm half tempted to say fuck it and just drink in private." she said with a small shake of her head. "Though I will admit, it had been a while since I had a decent fight, it was nice to get it out my system a bit, but not worth the bullet in the arm. Still can't believe they decided to come at me again after the ass kicking they got at that bar. Still, sorry bout that, kinda, well, so much for a peaceful drink eh? It turned into a bar room blitz that spilled out into a restaurant." she said shifting a bit, resting her head back against the back of the seat. "And even after all that shit, I STILL didn't manage to get laid, fuck my luck." she said with a small chuckle.

"Well just seems you have that luck of attracting trouble, some do and can't change that. Though can't exactly speak for myself considering that I've always attracted trouble even as a sparkling."Lance said with a slight smile, driving down the high way now at a bit faster speed now that the speed limit had changed. "Honestly I've been itching for a bit of action and guess my anger boiled over enough I didn't exactly have much patience so knocked that guy a good one to the nose."He remarked, realizing his anger had in fact faded some time ago but his thoughts broke off when he heard Vic's final words and shook his head."TMI Vic."He chuckled,"And if I didn't consider you a sister well...I won't finish that, but you know what I mean."

The redhead chuckled at that, leaning on Lance and letting her head rest on his shoulder "I know bro, but hey, at least I have someone to cuddle who I know won't pull something stupid." she said with a smirk, it was true, she did like having someone there, someone she could trust. "Speaking of, I'm prolly gonna take a nap, you don't mind bein' my pillow hmm bro?" she asked, grinning at him a bit. "Oh, by the way, if ya don't wanna risk bein' in the south too long, we could split off when we get down there, I go see mom, you do what you needa do, and we meet up later. Jus' miss mom a bit is all." she added, knowing the topic had been tapped on earlier.
