Going Up? || Rain and Alex
This was the part of being an Official that Alex hated. He knew that there were some corrupt people in charge, and some thoroughly fucked up things that happened. Sure, he took advantage of the power that he had in order to keep Lily and Ella safe, but that was a different story. He was doing it to keep the two of them together, but to save his own ass from something that he had done. And, from the rumors that he'd heard circulating about Rain and her father made it possible that this was one of the situations that he hated. And of course he was the one sent to fetch Rain and bring her to the headquarters, probably because he hadn't been brutal enough recently and had admittedly gone soft recently, thanks largely to Cody.
A large part of Alex hoped that maybe he wouldn't be able to find the girl, and he knew that if he did then he'd have to do bring her in. So he was sort of half-assing his job, mostly looking around the mall rather than looking for Rain, when he spotted her go in to an elevator. Fuck he mumbled under his breath as now he was forced to go after her, but he played it cool but quickening his pace just a bit in order to catch up to the elevator, and he stepped on. "Ms. Peters," he said with a curt nod towards her, not yet letting on that anything out of the ordinary was going on, though his formality didn't help that too much. The elevator doors closed and it began to rise to the second floor, when it suddenly stopped with a jolt before a clash of thunder was heard. He had hoped to get home before the storm hit, but apparently he wasn't going to be too lucky. "Stay calm, alright? We're going to be fine," he said, his Official instincts kicking in a bit, even though he wasn't really sure if the girl was going to panic or not.
