Talon, "ED Wait up!"
*LOUD BREAKS AND SKIDDING TIRES*
Talon turns quickly as a car collides with a stopped cab and rolls up onto the corner. He tries to avoid it's path when a loud crash is heard.
People run to the scene as the camera crew frantically pan around looking for Talon. One crew member yells "He's under the car!" which causes a commotion from the spectators, but after a few moments, from under a destroyed hot dog cart, Talon stands up slowly, coughing and brushing himself off. His forearm is bleeding, but it appears to only be a scrape. His jeans are torn at the left knee and his mohawk is distressed, but other than that he appears to be fine.
As Talon gets up and gets back into his right mind, Ed runs back across the street, just seeing the near deadly accident.
Eddie, "Dude! What the hell?!"
Talon looks at him and shrugs.
Talon, "I didn't do it... but damn, that was close."
Smoke begins to billow from the over turned vehicle as the driver crawls out of the sun roof with help form on lookers. Eddie waves away the smoke and coughs...
Eddie, "Maybe we should go back inside and have drink while they clear this out..."
Talon smirks as he raises an eyebrow.
Talon, "Thought you had things to do?"
Ed shakes his head as he shoves Talon with a mock attitude.
Eddie, "God Damnit man, do you want to sit back down or not... You almost got flattened worse than Vanessa's ass."
Talon, "Its alright, I need to get going anyways... How about you, me, and Ron meet up tomorrow, do some training, talk some strategy, and figure out whats going on with Buff."
Eddie nods and puts his sunglasses back on.
Eddie, "Alright, but no more of this conscious foolishness... You're the damn "Reflection of Perfection" not Jimminy Cricket... wake up."
Talon suppresses a laugh as he looks at his bleeding forearm.
Talon, "See you tomorrow bro."
Eddie and Talon go there separate ways as Talon looks both ways and hustles across the street.
As he arrives on the other side, his cell begins to buzz. He stops and ducks out of the line of pedestrian traffic long enough to reply to a text from his sister, who is on the way home from NC.
He replies to the text and continues his walk home when he walks up on a familiar face passing by him.
Talon, "Alora?"
The female turns around and faces him, revealing herself to be Detective Cox's daughter, Alora.
Alora, "Hey Talon! How have you been?"
Talon looks at her, a little confused.
Talon, "Haven't been keeping up with HWA have you?"
Alora shakes her head, admitting she has not.
Alora, "I've been really busy at NYU this year, I'm almost done with college, finally."
Talon smiles lightly, enjoying a different topic.
Talon, "That's great. I saw you're dad the other day, he filled me in, so you're going to be a forensics lab worker huh?"
Alora, "Yeah! I always loved watching those cop drama shows, so it kinda worked out... How is Ed?"
Talon motions over his shoulder...
Talon, "He's well... he just went that-a-way a few minutes ago."
Alora, "Wait... why are you bleeding?"
Talon laughs as he raises his forearm into view.
Talon, "Almost got hit by a car; nothing major."
Alora gasps, putting her hand over her mouth.
Alora, "Nothing major?! You could have been killed!"
Talon looks at her and grins as he shakes his head...
Talon, "What else is new? ...I'm getting used to 'you could've been killed' moments."
Alora, "...Do you want to come back to my place... for lunch?"
Talon ponders for a moment, knowing the gratification that may be achieved if he agrees... He smiles and politely replies.
Talon, "I'd love too, I really would, but I have to get into the gym... I've got more than just cardio to work on today."
Alora frowns slightly, playfully replying in sad voice.
Alora, "Its ok... maybe another time."
Alora hugs Talon before saying goodbye... Talon turns and heads for the Ice Box, calling Kaleb and Malik as the scene fades.
