Matt grabs onto Jones' arm. She turns, wrenching her arm away. 

"We need to leave." Evren mutters. "Now." 

"Murdock, Wells?" Jones snaps. "What the fuck? You grab me like that again and I'll punch you so hard you can see."

"Listen, we've been here before." Matt mutters. Jones casts Evren a glare. She shrugs. 

"Why are you following me?" 

"You're in serious danger."

Jones scoffs. "What kind of lawyer are you?" 

"This case you took, it's leading you toward something truly sinister."

"Okay, you are the most full of shit lawyer I've ever met, and I think we should appreciate the magnitude of that statement."

Evren snorts. "Let's talk about this somewhere else." 

"Let's talk about it never. Unless you wanna tell me how a blind man moves the way you do." 

Matt furrows his brows. "Excuse me?"

'He damn well knows.' 

"I have pictures, asshole."

Matt grabs her camera, slamming it against the wall before returning his hand to his cane. The pieces clatter to the floor. "As you were saying?"

Jessica snarls, opening her mouth, only for Evren and Matt both twisting their heads at the sound of a silenced gunshot.

"Oh, shit." 

Jones looks between them. "What are you doing?" 

"Gunshot." Evren states. 

'Someone up there is fighting a dozen others.' 

"Where?"

"Penthouse." Matt answers, frowning.

"How do you know that?"

"We just do." Evren quips. "This is what we're trying to avoid." 

Matt yanks the scarf from around Jones' neck. "I need that." He mutters, before quickly moving away. Evren scoffs.

"Asshole." She looks at Jessica, who stares at her. "If you follow after us, I sure hope you can do more than jump."

"What?"

Evren takes off after Matt, Rot wriggling over her skin within a blink the second she makes it into the hallway Matt entered. The worker screams. Rot grins, flipping them over the man, who only screams louder. On their way up the steps, they grab the back of Matt's shirt and haul him up with them. 

They make it there when the fighting has already started. Jones steps out of the elevator, staring at Rot, who grins, then at Matt.

"You look like an asshole."

"It's your scarf."

A man is thrown through the wall, drawing their attention. Rot tilts their head.

"Jessica?"

"Luke."

"What the hell is that?" The blond asks, throwing his hands in their direction.

'We are Rot.'  They answer, flatly. 

"How you been?" The black man- bullet holes littered in his sweater- asks.

"Long story." Jones responds, moving out of the way when the blond man skirts by them.

"We have to get out of here." He pauses a few feet in front of Rot, who huffs and moves against the wall. He continues moving.
