The police arrived fairly fast, we were in the nicer part of town and had destroyed the crap out of a rich mans house. The detective who met me and Alisa was a bush mustached thin guy who looked perturbed from the moment he arrived. We were shackled up on the police's arrival and made to sit outside while they looked inside, anticipating this I hid the hand of the fire god so as to not kill an officer and have to take the blame for that (that damn gun is useful but also very very dangerous). Bushy mustache eventually emerged and uncuffed both me and Alisa handing Alisa's weapons back to her. Of all the moves he could do this was the most unexpected to me.
"Get out of my town, get your shit and get gone." Alisa took her weapons and was all too happy to leave, me I had to ask, well mumble through the pain but you know ask.
"Why? Why let us go?"
"Because whatever happened in there, I don't want to know about, I don't want to know what happened to Randal and his people, I don't want to know who you or this woman is, I just don't want to know, we'll burn the building down claim there was an accident and that's that, you've got fifteen minutes to collect what you will from that building and then I'm burning it down." I accepted this explanation as did Alisa, so we had a little loot off of Randal's estate and then left, the police already had started to torch the building when we left (honestly this made me wonder about some of the fires I'd read about in the local paper). It was evening, I thought about maybe finding a room to stay in for the night before heading home.
"Want to ride with me back, I think I can easily steal another car."
"I really wish you wouldn't say those things so close to the police." Alisa smiled at me, she herself looked to be in bad shape as well, Randal hadn't used her to smash down his walls but when he tossed her up stairs she obviously had come down pretty roughly.
"Well you coming or not?"
"I'll pass, think I'll take a train home."
"Suit yourself, oh and Trezlan it goes without saying that I won't work with you again."
"And yet you said it anyway." She smiled again and waved and I made my way to the train station. The next train was a couple hours out so I was able to sleep for a bit, some kind gentleman woke me up as the train arrived and didn't rob me so things turned out mostly alright. This just highlights once again that I should never help anyone ever again. As if I needed more reasons for that.
