(Hey would it be alright if Alex had a grappling hook? I was thinking about adding a built-in grappling hook and riot shield in his arms but idk if that would be too Op or not ^^")

(Alright, I just wanted to make sure!)
Alex, realizing he could lose the target soon, quickly primed his grappling hook. His forearm opened up and his hand snapped backwards, revealing a small grappling hook with barbed edges. He aimed as steadily as he could, hoping he could hit the vampire in the back of the leg to trip him or at least slow him down. After a moment of waiting, he fired, the hook zipping through the air.

The grappling hook caught Lucas' right leg, causing him to trip and tumble to the ground. He quickly sat up and went to work getting the grappling hook off his leg. He was focused on working quickly, not safely, so his hands were getting cut up on the barbed edges. "Come on," he mumbled, looking up at Alex as he got closer.

Jon did his best to round up any vampires that had straggled too long, shooting those that got too close to the window. He was already calling for backup, though he was torn between trying to catch up with Tracker, who had just jumped out the window and ran, or staying here. He guessed it would have to be the later. The stranger that seemed to have a lot of questions had disappeared somewhere, it seemed, though he was glad because now was not the time to be bothered by civilians.
////
Oh s***. Well, at least he'd done a little distracting. He hadn't followed Alex out the window, at least, though he knew that there were probably several vampires out there and at least one would get hurt. He was still alive only by luck.
He exited the building via the front door, trying to be discreet. Though, he felt guilty. He was just going to leave? Not help at all? It sounded like a good plan… but what about kinsmanship with his fellow vampires. Nah, he didn't really feel that.
So he started walking home, keeping his head down. Hopefully, he would never hear about another "vampire meeting" again, whatever the purpose of this one was supposed to be… it'd turned out horribly.

Terrel finally found a hiding spot-which was just a wall blocking the view from the 'meeting spot' a fair ways away, well enough of one while he waited to 'catch his breath' which was mostly him taking a moment to process what had happened. Both him and Trinity had escaped, mostly without struggling. That was a first. He couldn't promise no injuries, the broken glass had cut him in a couple of ways, his nice shirt had a huge gash in the side, having also cut into his skin. He also had a few other minor injuries from where he was careless in climbing out. He looked down to Trinity for a moment, letting his grip loosen, and letting her stand on her own once again. That bold liar. She had cuts on her arms, her torso and her legs. None of them were serious enough to warrant too much concern, but she was hurt from their escape through the window. Said girl pressed herself against the wall, flinching slightly when the cuts brushed up against the rough surface. The duo refused to talk till they were ready to go again.

Alex finally managed to catch up to the vampire. After ripping the hook out of his leg and reforming his arm, he grabbed the bloodsucker by the neck and held him up. As he ran a scan with his eyes trying to find the person's identity in the database, he spoke. "Hold still. Scanning for known identities." Alex made sure his metallic grip was strong enough to keep the vampire in submission, but not too strong; he didn't want to crush his trachea just yet.

Just pass on by. Just pass on by. Lux sighed and stopped. He turned towards the vampires, a guy and a young girl, who looked to be in pretty bad shape, but hey, at least they were alive.
"Are you two okay?" he asked, walking towards them. He was pretty sure they were vampires, at least, because they were close to where the meetin had been found out, and they looked like people who might have jumped out of a window a few minutes ago.

Terrel stiffened, snatching up Trinity once again to get ready to run at a moment's notice. "Why do you want to know?" He shot back, twisting his arm so Trinity was hanging from the side facing away from the strange newcomer. He tried to find definable features that would tell him 'vampire', 'cop', or 'human'. Two of those three he wouldn't mind, one would be food for himself and Trinity and the other isn't his enemy. One third of a chance that this man was dangerous was the concerning part. Trinity on the other hand had her head peaking out to get a better look. "We're fine" She replied, earning a small scolding from Terrel. That would be a lecture later about safety and not talking to random people who talk to you.

Lucas let out quite a few swear words as Alex grabbed him by the throat. His grip didn't stop the vampire from struggling to get free, though the struggle didn't prove successful. He was too far away to hit Alex, and he didn't have the energy or leverage to swing his body and legs forward. "Go ... yourself," he managed to get out, but his words were muffled and difficult to understand. "How about ... let me ... go," he added before spitting on the ground in Alex's direction.

Alex dropped Lucas to the ground, only to backhand him at full force, sending him staggering across the ground. "I must remind you that disrespecting an operator of the AVTF is unlawful." After another moment the scan was completed, providing Alex with details of the person at his feet. "Lucas Grey. You picked a bad time to leave your damn bloodsucker lair..."

Lux stopped in his tracks when Terrel grabbed the girl quickly after he spoke. He snorted. "Jesus, no need to be so hostile," he retorted. Though, he didn't mind the girl. In fact, she was cute. "I was asking to see if you need help. You try and bite me though and it won't be pretty," he warned. He didn't… stick around his own kind much. It was hard to unless you were either hiding underground or, well, in jail or something. He wasn't about to disclose the information that he was a vampire; besides the fact that he'd trained himself for so long to never, ever mention it, he also harboured a very small suspicion that cops could still be around, or these two could be cops undercover themselves.

Lucas hadn't expected to be dropped to the ground, slapped across the face, and sent tumbling to the ground again. This time, he let out a groan and slowly sat up as he brought his bandaged right hand up to his face. He winced as he did so and finally stood. "And I must remind you that I did nothing to deserve this treatment," he shot back as he dropped his hand from his face. Oh, he wanted to run and get the hell out of there, but he didn't want to risk getting immediately caught again by Alex. He had already taken enough of a beating from him between the cuts on his leg from the grappling hook and the tenderness he felt on his face from the slap.

Alex glared at him. "Maybe I should just nail you to one of the walls. Let the sunlight take care of you in the morning." He took out some handcuffs and quickly restrained Lucas with them. "Good luck getting out of these; they're made of the strongest metal alloys available. Reserved specifically for bloodsuckers like you." He then pulled out a small radio. He held down the button on the side as he spoke. "Jon, I've caught one of the vampires. I need you to get over here ASAP and bring it out of here."

Despite what Alex said about the handcuffs, Lucas still tried pulling his hands away from each other in an attempt to break the handcuffs. His effort was in vain, as nothing happened. He wasn't even sure he weakened the metal links that attached the handcuffs to each other. Still, this was his best chance to escape, as Alex was distracted by talking on the radio. Lucas turned and began running, but it was a very awkward run as his hands were behind his back.

Jon picked up his radio, keeping a mindful eye on the couple of vampires who weren't exactly resisting arrest, but he could tell things might go south soon enough. "Would you… you think I'm just sitting in the car or something? I already called backup, so how about you take it out of there," he huffed. "Over-glorified metal crap," he muttered under his breath. He had to admit that this was not turning out to be a good day.
Almost moments after he said that, the back up arrived and began to handcuff the remaining vampires. "Never mind on that. I'm coming," he told Tracker. Jon nodded and left the building to try and locate Tracker. Luckily, he wasn't too far away.

Terrel smirked a bit at his small joke "If I wanted to bite you, you would already be on the ground" He replied, not moving from his more tense position for a second. Point one for the man not attacking them yet, another point to him not running away and screaming with knowledge that the two might be vampires. "We are fine, just a couple days of rest and we will be good as new" Trinity on the other hand pointed to Terrel's arm that was holding her up "He's hurt" She said, earning another small scold from Terrel who replied "It isn't that bad, we don't need help right now"

He tried firing his grappling hook at the handcuffs, but he was too far off and the hook only scraped against pavement. He cursed and then started running after him. "The target is making a run for it!" He yelled into his radio.

Oh man, running with his arms behind his back sure was difficult, but Lucas didn't have any other options. What he really needed was to get the handcuffs off, or at least break the links so he could run with his hands at his sides, but he doubted he'd be able to do that alone. He didn't turn and look over his shoulder to see what Alex was doing, as it would throw off his balance. He then felt a hand tugging on his arm and pulling him to the side. He almost said something but stopped when he saw his sisters. He gave them a sheepish smile.
"What did you get into?" Rebecca asked, walking around him to get a good look at the handcuffs. She rolled her eyes as he didn't answer before letting out a sigh. "I don't know how we're gonna break the links," she said, "and none of us have a key to get you out."
"Well, right now we need to be concerned about the guy chasing me," Lucas said. "Yes, you pulled me to the side, but he isn't stupid. We need to keep going."

"No I wouldn't. Keep your ego to yourself," he chided. Right, what had that officer robot said? Monsters?
He nodded to the little girl. "I know how adults can be, always lying," he joked, shaking his head disapprovingly. "How bad is it, really? You can come back to my place. I know basic first aid, but I'm not a doctor, so if it's serious, I'll take you to the hospital."

"Are you some form of stupid?" Terrel took a step back. "For one, why would I follow someone I had just met to their house? Secondly, do you understand what it means for myself or her to go to a hospital?" He honestly thought that this man didn't know, or he was playing dumb "We would both die before we reached an hour in there" He would have to give Trinity a talking to when they got home, there is reasons for how he talks, and getting sympathy, fake or real, doesn't lead to anything but pain.

"Fine! No hospital. You don't look seriously hurt anyway," he claimed. "If you don't want help, I'm not going to drag you by the ankle," he added. He frowned. Right, he'd tried. He didn't have to force them to get medical attention or anything. "The cops aren't coming this way, but I'd suggest you don't wait around for them."

"Well, right now we need to be concerned about the guy chasing me," Lucas said. "Yes, you pulled me to the side, but he isn't stupid. We need to keep going." "Stop immediately!" Alex quickly pulled out his revolver and aimed it threateningly at the three vampires. With his free arm, he fired the grappling hook and caught the chain of Lucas' handcuffs. "You're all being put under arrest. You will be taken to a holding cell while the higher ups decide your fate." Alex knew that last part was complete bull. As soon as the vampires get taken in, they'll be executed as quickly as possible. He glared at the vampires, as if daring them to attempt something, just to give him a reason to pull the trigger. (I'm not really sure where to go from here. Should the vampires escape, should they be captured, should Alex screw up somehow and get himself captured? Not really sure how to continue...)

"Thanks for the tip" Terrel said, half sarcastically, he moved himself so he was facing away from the 'meeting' again. "I guess you aren't an enemy. Wouldn't mind seeing you again in passing" With that he started his run again, shifting Trinity in preparation of setting her down on the ground. Now seemingly out of danger, he wanted to give her a chance to get a bit of exercise. Once he was confident that he had gotten far enough away, he did just that, slowing down just enough for Trinity to get her footing on the ground.

Lucas swore under his breath as he heard Alex. He didn't turn to face him, but he did watch his sisters look. They were panicked, and they looked toward their brother for reassurance. "Go," he mouthed, but he watched them shake their heads slightly. "Run," he mouthed, much more serious now. As Hannah and Rebecca turned to run, he turned around as quickly as he could, hoping to catch Alex off balance with the quick motion. At the least, he hoped this would give his sisters a chance to escape.
(Hmmm... I like the idea of Alex screwing up and getting captured xD)

(One malfunction comin' right up! xD)
Caught off guard, Alex jerked forward as the sudden force pulled at the grapple. With a cry of pain, his arm containing the tether to the hook started to spark and crackle. He released the hook from Lucas and attempted to reel it back in. When the hook finally stored itself, he tried his best to close the arm to it's normal configuration. But more sparks flew and crimson liquid started to run down the cool dark metal as the limb started to experience a severe malfunction.
