Deadline finally found the target's room, and saw the door closed for some reason. Frowning, he kicked it down and brought up his pistol, ordering his objective to "Freeze!"

...only to find that neither they nor Saffron were present. The hell?

Looking around, he spotted something in the distance, way back down at ground level. Looking through a window, he saw... Saffron, tied up and being herded towards a helicopter by the man they were meant to capture. Sh**!

Quickly as he could, he raced back down the building, cursing himself for probably letting his temporary partner get in trouble.

The lizard raced towards the two, pistol at the ready. He saw the man was with two guards, one of them carrying Saffron over his shoulder. Without missing a beat, he aimed and shot one carrying Saffron in the leg, causing him to falter. The other guard got a shot in the leg too, and the man looked behind him to see the lizard aiming at him.

"Bah, I don't need her. I've got all the time in the world!" the man laughed as he hopped into the copter. Deadline tried to shoot him down, but the chopper blades were kicking up a wind that threw him balance. Before he knew it, the copter was off and away, leaving him and Saffron.

"...just great."
