She didn't show any surprise at all at seeing Elizah. She knew that he would come looking for his daughters and his wife. She knew as well as anyone, except perhaps Elizah himself, how much he cared for those girls and how much he loved his wife.
"My nieces were brought here and taken somewhere, probably told it was some shopping trip or something. My sister was already dead before they left." she said calmly though it was obvious by her face she was quite angry. As Elizah had entered she'd strapped the sheath to her back, beneath her cloak, and sheathed her large sword. "He probably told them she was ill or something, or took them by force." She walked over to him and handed him the note. The details of which she'd already memorized fully. Now Elizah needed to know exactly what was happening. The note detailed a location where the scumbag responsible would meet someone and either hand the girls over, get paid and leave or perhaps where the person he met would lead them to a hideout or something. It was difficult to ascertain the truth from the note. All it said was to bring the girls to a location in town. It had no name, but it was marked with a crest, which she recognized as a crime organization who were notorious for being hard to find. "I don't know where they are, but I know where to begin looking next. The bastard left this note behind, could be a red herring, but its the only clue i've managed to find." She walked over to a wall and with a single thrust of her fist broke a large hole in it.
"I should of stopped her. I knew he was scum. I told her." she said half to herself with clear notes of anger and self-blame in her tone. "Either that or killed him then and there." She looked over again at Elizah and spoke a bit louder her eyes glistening a bit, but she wasn't quite crying. "I'm sorry Elizah." It was rare she acknowledged a marine, but in this case she really did. She had been better off with this marine then she would of been with most others. Elizah was a good man, a marine, but a good man. Then again other then Catherine, who was the black sheep, her family were generally law abiding and many were marine's themselves. "But we will find them. I won't rest till those girls are safe and that man is dead. No not just him, the entire organization he is helping or a part of."

Elizah took the note from her and read it carefully, ignoring her actions completely as his concentration was fully on the note. It read Valkyn Arena - 1091 Main, bring merchandise. It was scribbled and probably left for the man that his wife had run off with. Come to think of it, he had yet to actually name the bastard, and had only tracked them down here by following the trail his wife left, or rather, ex-wife. Looking up from the note, he stashed it in his pocket and stared across the room for a few moments, looking out the large window at the another three story building. A small glare flashed in the opposite building window.
It only took him a moment to register the situation before reacting. Immediately stepping to the side, he moved into the bathroom and yelled out "GET DOWN!". As he moved the glass shattered and the doorway had a decent sized hole blown into it. A sniper- aiming at Elizah. "Catherine, get downstairs, I'll cover you. If its clear down there, head around and take the sniper out. Third floor, 12 O'clock from the window about 20 meters.... Pulling his pistol out and sliding down a little, he began formulating a plan to take care of this. Laying down and sliding around the corner, he shot out the glass with 4 shots, none of them hitting the sniper, but enough pressure to make him hesitate long enough for Catherine to get to the door. As soon as she made it there, he would slide back into the bathroom.
She needed to get downstairs, and quick.
Meanwhile, as Elizah gave cover for Catherine, six men stood outside of the building, two armed with bladed weaponry, the rest with guns. They were not normal men with weapons, no, they had been extensively trained by their organization and would not go down with simple combat techniques.
As soon as Catherine would be making it to the door, these men would be filtering into the building. Two of the gunners immediatly moved behind two pillars, and the rest stood in the open, drawing their pistols and swords and staring at Marco and Jack. They all held tattoo's on their forearms that were in the shape of a black Shepard, and their lead swordsman spoke up. "You should give up now- you'll never see them again." Mysterious and pointless for him to say, nonetheless, he figured he would let them know. In his mind, giving them a chance to live might of been a nice move.
As soon as anyone made a move, they would unleash fire, and the swordsman would play the defensive to keep any chargers at bay from the gunners. [/style]

He ran the situation through his head, coming up with possibilities. There was one that stood out the most for him. Someone had known they were coming which meant they were being watched. That mean this place was even more dangerous. The list of people they could trust had suddenly plummeted drastically. There was something else also, an unavoidable fact. If they were being watched, then there would probably be a fail safe somewhere in the building. He couldn't be certain but there was one thing he knew was a must: they had to get out.
He looked over at Marco, waiting for him to adjust before speaking."We have to warn Elizah. We have to get out of here, now." He wasn't sure if it was obvious or not but someone had to said it. But he couldn't just leave Marco here on his own, which meant he was forced to wait for the Marine to recover.

At his statement of get down Catherine immediately went into action using her sword as a shield to block the shot aimed at her. She listened to the instructions given to her by Elizah. 20 meters. That put the sniper out of range of most of her attacks. She bit her lip and began to retreat towards the door using her large sword to shield her body. Soon she was out of the room and had a bit of time to think. What would be the best move? By the time she got down to the first floor and up to the third of the other building the sniper could be long gone. She had to get them now. Plus they wanted the sniper alive. She had no choice. She would have to follow Elizah's instructions.
"Damn snipers." she said as she broke into a swift run down the stairs, leaping at walls and using the propulsion from them to accelerate her slightly. It was risky, but she didn't have time to go slowly. Soon she was at the bottom of the stairs and saw the gunners. "FUCKING GUNNERS!" She shouted thrusting her hand out launching four blades of air at them, whilst using her sword as a shield. "Get out of my way!" As she got closer to them with her charge she stomped the ground using the power of her devil fruit to cause a powerful tremor that would send most, if not all of them flying. Using the gap in the ground to her advantage she charged through and headed towards the other building her sword on her back to protect it from gun fire. Her target was simple, get to the sniper, and that was where she was heading at top speed.

Plus....most of my post doesn't interfere with anyone else, except for the last bit.
[/td][/tr][/table] ▌ NAME: Knife and Fork ▌ MAJORS: Strength, Haste ▌ MINORS: Endurance ▌ DESCRIPTION: After great training each of her hands has become a weapon. Both are capable of becoming either Knife or Fork depending on her preference. Both of these techniques require a high level of power and speed as well as some endurance. Fork: By thrusting her arm forward with the fingers slightly curled and spread she can launch four spikes of compressed air that have the same piercing power as a generic blade weapon with piercing enhancement. It has a range of 10m. This has a close range variation, where the opponent or target is struck with the fingers head on. This has twice the piercing power but, it is more damaging to her hand. Each hand is limited to how many long range and close range techniques it can perform before requiring a two post cooldown. 6 of long range and 3 of short range. If used in conjunction she can use 2 long range and 2 short range or 1 short range and four long range. Knife: By forming her hand into the standard chop shape and striking an opponent with speed and power she is able to cut through targets with the force of a poor grade weapon at close range. This is of course damaging to her hand and thus can be used three times per hand before needing the cooldown. This has a long range where she sweeps her hand it sends a concentrated blade of air that that is as strong as a basic grade weapon with sharpness enhancement. This has a range of 10m and the blades are 5ft long and 1ft wide. This can be used six times before a cooldown is required. If used in conjunction she can use 2 long range and 2 short range or 1 short range and four long range. In total per thread, the long range techniques can be used 12 times per arm and the short range 6 times per arm. ▌ NAME: Jishin(Earthquake) ▌ MAJORS: Power ▌ MINORS: None ▌ DESCRIPTION: This is a close to mid range attack using the earth itself as a medium. After stomping or otherwise striking the ground she can send a shockwave in every direction around her, with straight ahead being slightly stronger.This shockwave has a ranger of four meters. Those hit by the shockwave within two meters of her will be launched into the air either straight up, sideways or backwards three meters whilst those further away will only be launched two meters. If the person is straight ahead they are launched an extra half a meter. This technique puts an immense strain on her body and so it requires a short time (2 posts) for her to recover enough to be able to use it again. Due to the high level of strain she is limited to using it only four times a day(1 thread).
