Mage - Eric

Jennifier yanks the man towards her then twists, sending him crashing to the ground. The guards catch up to you and the man disappears under a mass of bodies before behind hauled to his feet. He is kicking and screaming as they drag him outside. The church erupts into applause

[How have Austin and his sister reacted?]

[If there is a chance before the mass resumes, I'd like to get a closer look at his sister and maybe see if she recognises me.]

She smiles sheepishly and checks to see where you are... and then grabs a seat nearby rather than suspiciously retreating to the seat by the door.

Austin and his sister were frightened. She does look very familar.

I'll take a seat mid-way along the aisle. I don't want to look too suspicious but I also don't want to be too near Jennifer. It might help if they don't realise we are together - that way she can be the hero and I can sneak about after.

The men have now been bundled outside and you can hear police sirens.

Austin steps through the crowd and shakes Jennifier firmly by the hand. "My sister! God bless you for what you have done here today"

She smiles and tries to wave the complement away - "I just did it without thinking."

[Hmm, if Austin and his sister are separated by the crowd I might try and talk to her. Ideally I'd like to find out how willing a participant she is in this and who/what got her pregnant]

You step closer, leaving Austin and Jennifier together and are a few feet from the girl when a look of utter shock forms on her face. She grips her bump as a dark pool of liquid begins to spread on the floor.

[she's bleeding?]

I rush over and get her to sit down, yelling out to anyone nearby to call an ambulance.

I'll tell her that I'm here to help and ask if she's had any prior complications with her pregnancy.

[Yay, I have a Medicine specialisation of Emergency Care! :-D ]

"No," she grunts as you lower to the ground. "My waters have broken. It's a little earlier than the nurse said but it's comming!"

Austin and the priest appears behind you and echo your call for an ambulance. Then Austin turns to a frantic auidence and cries: "the rebirth is at hand. Witness the glory of the Almighty!"

[END?]

[Oh crap]

[Sure, seems like a suitably dramatic point to pause, though I'm now regretting putting the knife out of use]

I'm nothing if not dramatic
