Tempest remained in a calm state, indifferent to Eddie's apparent attitude toward her. She knew what he was really thinking of her, but instead focused on keeping that support beam steady just long enough for both to get to safety.
Being held in disdain by someone didn't affect her as much as it did Ebony.

Anastasia quietly thanked Eddie as he helped her along after making the call. She didn't know how she would explain this one to the police or her brother, or how she would explain the whole situation to Eddie if he asked. And her father would blow a gasket when he finds out how much trouble she was getting in, never mind how he would react if he found out a demon held her in its affection.
She was beginning to dread the rest of the week.

Joltsen called repeately for Annie and Eddie to come, since he saw the light beam from Tempest, and what was about to happen. Eddie pushed Annie as she tried to help him by walking on her tires. Once they were outside, in safety, Joltsen turned towards the entrance and called for Tempest.
"The others are save now, now it's your turn." Egill said through the link. He couldn't help her keep the beam up, and was unsure of if she was able to keep it while going out for safety.

The support beam gave way and fell straight down on Tempest, who barely had time to bring up the shield again. It dulled the impact on her roof, but it still hurt. Tempest gritted her teeth to stiffle a yelp.
She shook herself and started to pick her way out of the debris and out of the warehouse.

Joltsen drove into the warehouse, or at least what was left of it. He pushed away some of the larger debris so that the way would be clearer for Tempest. "Are you okay?" He asked concerned. "Annie's engine won't start, but it looks like to be a minor issue. Ebony went to get help. Should we wait for them or go ourselves?"
Egill chose to give Tempest the slightest push before he severed the link. He had tried to keen the demon, with his limited senses, but didn't find much evidence that it would resurface any time soon. He gave Tempest that message just before severing the link. She could still talk to him the usual way, but the source of energy from Egill was now cut off.

"I am fine, at least for now," replied Tempest, "Ebony may not know that we have managed to free ourselves, but she is a good soul and true to her word about getting help. She will return as soon as possible. As for Annie, how far away is the nearest hospital from here?"

"It's the one where Slick's at." Joltsen replied. "But we are better off calling an abulance, but I don't have a cellphone."

Tempest nodded calmly and solomnly, "Yes, calling an ambulance would be a good idea. I believe Eddie called them. They will be here soon."
She paused and looked at Joltsen. "What has happened to Slick?"

Joltsen was surprised. "I thought you knew. He was poisoned, we think it was Flint, and left outdoors in the rain. He was in bad shape when I and Ebony found him, and he is at least in stable condition, last time I knew."

"Forgive me for being 'not in the know', but like all sorceresses, I am usually focused on some other matter," replied Tempest, "I know I was there when the news about Slick was revealed to Kamui, but my mind was on the demon at the moment."

"I didn't mean it that way." Joltsen said. "Matters slip our minds all the time, even the ones that matters." Joltsen chuckled a bit. "Now, one of the matters at hand now, what should we tell the ambulance?"

Tempest nodded and then thought. "Perhaps we could say that we were exploring the warehouse and did now realize that the structure was weak and about to collapse, and only came upon that realization just a little too late, but we managed to get ourselves out in time."

As the abulance came, he was quick to reassure Eddie that Annie was fine, but needed to be at the hospital overnight at least to heal. Though with the others riddled with dents, except Joltsen, he took their word that they were fine, and knew of people to help them. Eddie, being the gentlecar, went with the ambulance. There was no way he was going to stay with Tempest, neither was there a way to convince the ambulance that Eddie could be a treat.
"Are you okay?" Joltsen asked Tempest for real. She had just faught a demon, and have a whole building collapsing on her.
((And now I am at loss what to do next. I had hoped Eva would bring Doug here, by Ebony, but that don't seem to happen now, or you can contact Eva about it.))

Tempest took a few breaths to calm herself down. "To tell the truth, I have never had that happen to me before and I am a little unnerved by the whole thing."
(((((OOC: Seems the Swept Away RP takes center stage... And I seem to be stuck in the Time Track RP because of that... I'll see if I can do something...)))))

"Had what happen?" Now it was time for Joltsen to have missed out on something. "What I know is that it has something to do with the demon, and you got a building falling down on you in the aftermatch."
