With the adrenaline still pumping through him, Shota whirled around at Snowy's cry, expecting the worst. It took him a second to realise there had been no fear in the sound, the lack of new trouble confirmed when his unlikely ally padded out into view. His shoulders eased down from where they'd been tensed, his heart rate gradually slowing back down.
Watching Snowy approach - avoiding a few spots he noted - he crouched down to see what she unearthed from the gunmen's pockets. Frowning at the items, too, none of them surprising for an operation like this, he breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of the phone.
"Good work." Picking it up, he paused and added, "Thanks for your help before. I wouldn't have made it without it."
Switching on the phone, a quick check confirmed it would be no help in finding out where they were. With the wealth behind the operation, there was a chance some members of the local authorities were involved or turning a blind eye, meaning he couldn't rely solely on them.
Dialling one of the only numbers he remembered, he didn't give whoever at UA picked up a chance to speak. "This is Eraserhead. I've been kidnapped. I have a young girl named Lillie with me; she was also taken. I need someone to trace this signal and send a team of heroes to accompany emergency services to the location. I'll update when I have more information."
He dropped the still-connected phone into his pocket and looked back down at Snowy, tilting his head towards where Lillie and their captive waited. "Let's go check on them." And see if the ringleader was willing to reveal where they were or if he was going to be difficult.
Haha, I am glad it wasn't too self-indulgent thanks!
