Tristan kept thinking that this was a really bad idea and maybe his wife had been right all along, but he wasn't gonna say that outloud. He cracked his neck, one thing he did know though, was that he was always ready for a fight.

Wraith stopped outside the alley and took a deep breath, her only sign of nerves so far. "Just us three for this next part," she said, addressing Mush and Ershey. Turning to Tristan and Goblin, she said, "You two gotta hide somewhere around here. Somewhere good. Standing in the alley is not hiding," she explained, giving Ershey a bit of a smile and wondering if she got the reference.
Before leaving, however, she pulled Goblin aside. "Please tell me you know what you're doing by now," she muttered so only he could hear.
"I'll know when I have to do it," he muttered back, and Wraith wanted to slap him.
"Just don't die," she growled, and kissed his cheek before heading back over to Tristan. "I, uh, kinda need that...present now."

Tristan removed the gun from behind his back and handed it to her. "You need a quick lesson or you know how to use it?" He asked her.

"Quick lesson would be good. The last two were with a knife and a pillow," she murmured. She had a feeling he never had found those newspaper articles.

Ershey turned to Mush, giving him a tight hug while Wraith and Tristan "reviewed" how she should use the gun. She was definitely scared yet excited at the thought of Ericson to be gone. And if that meant one last painful trip, she would do it. She pulled away, taking in a deep breath before looking over at Wraith.

Tristan hurriedly whispered to her how to use the gun, showing her how to load it, cock it etc. ((I don't know how to use a gun LOL))
He placed it in her hand. "Be sure about it when you use it. You'll know the right moment. I don't expect you to freeze up."

"I won't," she said. "Thanks." She concealed the gun so fast it wasn't clear exactly how she'd done it, though there was a slight bulge in the folds of her dress. She looked at Tristan for a moment and added, "Try not to die, your wife'd kill me." That was about as sentimental as she got; she wasn't really one for guilt or regrets.
She went over to Mush and nodded to Ershey. "Lead the way."

Ershey nodded in reply, moving out of the alley and back onto the streets. She moved ahead of them, making sure she wasn't too far and visible enough for them to follow her. Weaving in and out of alleyways, Ershey finally saw the warehouse. She glanced behind her to make sure Wraith and Mush were still there. She could make out an outline but figured Wraith wasn't one to risk anything, even to let Ershey see them there.
Taking a deep breath, Ershey walked towards the warehouse, stuffing her hands in her pockets just like she always did. She usually held onto what she was going to hand over to Ericson but not this time. She spotted the thug that visited her a couple days ago, simply nodding to him before making her way towards the window and finally tapping on it. She felt her heart beat faster as she tried to remain calm.
The window finally cracked open, revealing an excited Ericson, ready to see what Ershey had for him. "You better have something good, Adrianne," he growled, looking down at her. Looking down at the ground, Ershey revealed that her hands and pockets were empty. The window slammed shut, the door swung open with Ericson charging at her.
"You little slut!" he shouted, punching her in the face. All Ershey could do was run away towards the alley, praying to God that this was all worth it.
((Anyone can feel free to use/manipulate Ericson! ;D))

Tristan was of course hidden in the alley waiting, this was all part of the plan. When he saw Ershey go running by Tristan stepped out just in time to punch Ericson in the face so he stumbled backward.
((Hopefully this was the plan lol))

((Haha, close enough. Are there any thugs with him, or just Ericson?))

One of Ericson's men followed after him, hands held up over his face ready to fight.
"Get outta the way, you ain't who I want," Ericson growled and charged toward Tristan.
It was considerably harder to fight two men at once. He backed up quickly dodging punches. It came in handy being a boxer.

Goblin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the thug's face. He hadn't been entirely sure whether this would work out. But now the only part he wasn't sure about was explaining it to Clara afterward.
He slipped out of the alley and tossed something at the thug. The man caught it, looked at it, and looked up at Goblin. And then, without a word, took off down the street without a backward glance.
Wraith witnessed the whole transaction and shot Goblin a 'What the hell just happened?' look, but he was already backing up, waiting for her to step in and finish this.

Ershey wanted to run faster and farther away. But she knew she couldn't leave them. They had a plan, dammit. Catching her breath, Ershey kept a distance away from Tristan, hoping that Wraith and Mush were close. Spotting another thug come their way, Ericson pried himself from the fist fight, bloody and frustrated as he ran towards Ershey, grabbing her by the shoulders and pinning herself against the wall.
Wraith, you better be there... thought Ershey, seeing nothing but darkness in the alley.

One chance. She had one chance, and she'd never held a gun before tonight. She crouched deep in the shadows, held the gun the way Tristan had shown her, aimed it carefully. Damn it, he was moving, and Ershey was right there, also moving, and..and she had sworn she wouldn't miss.
She aimed for his head, a big, vulnerable target--looked at his face for a second, his hands clutching at Ershey--remembered--and then pulled the trigger.
She didn't miss.

Ershey couldn't see anything but Ericson. He leaned forward, ready to take her but before Ershey knew it, she heard the gunshot. Ericson froze, his eyes wide as he held onto Ershey and dropped to his knees. Prying his hands off of her arms, she heard Ericson mutter, "You bitch."
((Want him dead already or make it harder for them? LOL))
