[Chloe bumped the table as he slammed the communicator down long enough to snatch at his dark cloak hanging on a nearby hook. This urgency unfortunately did not give him a chance to make certain the device had been appropriately switched off. Lizzie’s post had sounded so desperate he had to get to her, now.
Without even picking the device back up he rushed to the door only to be forced to fall back as it flew open on its own allowing a small horde of heartless to pile into the room. ]

Dam--!!

[The lead heartless crouched and leapt at Chloe before he could even finish the short curse. Only stumbling unevenly backward saved Chloe from being raked across the chest by the lead heartless’s sharp talons.
While the man had always portrayed himself as being a simple florist now the camera was privy to the truth. The heartless wasn’t given a second chance to strike. The metal stiletto that was effortlessly jabbed into its throat effectively ended any opportunity it might have had.
Though one of the intruders dissolved into nothing the others were still there, leaping after their prey. Chloe turned to run, expertly throwing three Bite Roses in the direction of the approaching horde as he made his escape behind the White Rose‘s counter. These weapons flew through the air and caught the faster heartless before they could catch up. They too disappeared but for every heartless taken down another two appeared to take their place.
It was a small army now that grew in strength every moment, with even more of the creatures trying to push their way in through the open doorway. That means of escape was entirely cut off… the only other path was…
En mass the heartless surged forward, pressing their advantage and nearly overwhelming Chloe’s defenses. There was only one way out…
Chloe threw himself away from the legion of heartless and back into the plate glass window. He could feel the glass shatter under his weight, some of the shards ripping into his skin, and then the weightless feeling of falling. Instinctively he prepared for the impact and rolled with it as soon as he hit the ground. The pain of this undignified escape would come later, but at least for now he had managed to escape the heartless. ]
