Sev keeps up with Eva as best she can, making sure to keep her focus within conscious thought- pacing her breathing, her steps, her balance. They wound through the platform, dodging and pushing through the scattered clumps of disgruntled manhattanites, pursued by the officer- Only able to keep up through the fact that the crowd moved out of the way for him, whereas the girls had to fight their way through. This is familiar... Sev thought, thinking back to the unorganised and yet barely-within-training games of hide and seek she had participated in with her sisters. Draw their attention away.
Suddenly she realised just how similar it was, and tuggd on Eva's arm, pulling her towards the just-arriving train. As the doors slid apart, a wave of businessmen and women departed, a flood that Eva and Sev slipped through with the officer in near pursuit.
He watched from the platform, easily able to see the two figures running up the carriage, and he slipped into the crowd, working his way after them.
Avoiding a slight look from Eva, Sev grasped her arm and pulled her out the opposite side of the train, stepping back onto the platform. The two slowed to a stop within the crowd, and Sev turned to watch, the officer working his way through the train, oblivious to the girl's departure.
"Hah! It worked" Sev said quietly, her smirk a close copy of Evangeline's trademark deviant smile.
A million dollars isn't cool. You know what is cool? A basilisk.
