For a split second she wanted to lunge at the silly werecreature, as instinct vied with common sense. Thankfully common sense won as she realized what Karin 'might' be doing. throwing Akio off as to her participation in all this. And maybe it would work...maybe he would think she was being 'forced' into it.
So, with a shrug she turned and began walking. "Lets' do as she says." she told Akio.

Karin grinned and placed a hand on the werewolf's fur. Then, when Sakura and Akio had turned around, she said: "Keep walking and lead the way out. Once you're there, ditch this idiot and meet us behind the parking garage."
And then, both she and Middle Born disappeared completely.

Akio was probably too scared to ask questions. The girl in the labcoat was definitely too threatening. He placed a hand on Sakura's, and led her to the elevator. If Sakura herself were to look around, she would see nothing. And yet Karin and Middle Born were following obediently without making a fuss. Nobody stopped them, not even when they left the building through the front gates and stood outside in the parking lot.

Getting to the parking lot, she looked around wondering where the two had gone.And as she did so she was thinking, how to do this and get away safely? Taking a deep breath "You might want to go someplace visible, so when they find out the wolf is gone no one will suspect you." She was to some extent concerned about him, but mostly because alive and employed here, he was useful.
Turning a bit stiffly she looked to see if he would agree or not.

"Oh, I hope it's alright," he said, looking around for it in confusion. "And that young eco-terrorist, I didn't think you were involved with people like that. Oh, I better go inside, you're right. Take care of yourself. I will give you a call later." He looked as if he never wanted to call her again, especially after her 'friend' had threatend to rip his eyes out. He glanced back at her nervously and disappeared into the building.

Once Karin had led the wolf behind the parking garage and well out of sight, she dropped the cloak of shadows and leaned against the wall.
"You might want to shift to a more evolved form, pup," she said casually. "I don't speak wolf, although the foxy might. She sure seems to speak Rat."

She leaned against the car as he left, one hand going to hold her side, pulling it back she grimaced, the blood was leaking through. Add in she was really going to have to pay that boy a visit, but given the fact the wolf went missing, might be enough to make him keep his mouth shut.
She turned slowly and started to make her way to the back of the Garage, using what support she could along the way.

The wolf tilted her head, she was pleased to be ut if the place, though the air outside was not quite how she hoped it would be, it stank, and it stank badly. There was likely few hunting grounds here.
However right now she was compliant, and she did shift, luckily, someone in her pervious sept perhaps even her father had bound clothes to her. Though not the height of fashion they covered what needed to be covered. The woman that stood there was however attractive, more than that in fact, she was slender tall and had a good deal of bearing, right up until she spoke.
“Thank you…” she said in a somewhat guttural tone she spoke Russian but her German was not so good, it came from the snippets she had picked up.
“Yes I smell you rat, maybe smarter than fox, though father say artic fox is very clever, he showed me how it hunt.”
Middle born stopped then , “I am free now yes? How do I get back to the forest?”

"Forest?" Karin looked amused. "Third turn to your left. Right past the pizza place. You can't miss it, there's a huge sign."
She looked at Sakura when she joined them. "Poor little foxy," she said. "Did the little nippers get you? Happens. I hear they can rip you to shreds in a minute... Oh well, shall we head out then? My place isn't too far from here."

Middle born crouched low, she was somewhat nervous now, having been locked up for so long it was rather difficult to know what to do, she was with strangers too but they were not like her, and they would not understand pack. The rat spoke a little quickly and the sarcasm was rather lost on the lupus.
The Shadow Lord had a temptation just to run, she also felt the need to howl but stilled her instincts in favour of at least doing the right thing. Which was certainly difficult.
She looked at both women, “Are there other wolves?” Middle born was sure once she was in the company of her own kind she would not feel so uncomfortable, so lost.

Her mind was getting a bit too foggy to even really digest Karin's sarcasm, as she gave a slight wave of her hand. "Lead the way Khemosabi." As she giggled slightly at her joke. She already knew she had been lucky, and really lucky the whole time. Even though the Rat had a sharp, caustic wit, her help had been welcomed.
"Hope it isn't far." She said as she fell in behind the two, all she really wanted to do was curl up and whimper, but the job was not yet done. Inari had blessed her with luck this day to free the wolf, she would not stop now for obviously he had wanted her to succeed and thus it was her duty to see the task through.

"Other Wolves, other Rats, Other Foxes?" Karin started walking towards the main street. It was starting to get dark, but Sakura might have attracted a little attention anyway so she stopped. "It's always about others with you pups isn't it? Other puppies to watch my back, other puppies to sing my praises when I get ripped apart tragically fighting the servants of the Wyrm. Ever tried being self-sufficient for once? Being your own person? Hmm? Ever tried thinking for yourself?"
While she was jabbering away, Karin took off her labcoat and removed the nametag carefully. After all, it was her name, all hers, and she wouldn't share it. But the labcoat she handed to Sakura. "Might want to cover the bloody mess you are, foxy," she said. "Forgotten how to heal, have we?"
She started walking down towards the street again. "But yeah anyway, I have friends, I'll give them a call. Should be a hoot. We always have tons of fun when we get together. They might be your crowd. What tribe you from, pup?"

“But I have always been in a pack, was born in a pack, it is how we survive.” She was talking about both being a wolf and a werewolf it was what she knew, why change what worked...
“I am not a pup, not now, I passed my rite before they took me.” The woman nodded. She could also have pups herself, well as long as she was the alpha that was.
Middle Born found following the constant stream of conversation spewing forth from the rats mouth difficult. Though she had learned some German during her time in the facility, she still found many of the more subtle parts or colloquialisms a little confusing especially when spoken so quickly.
Finally the lupus spoke again, “I am a Shadow Lord, half moon.”.

Taking the lab coat she managed to get it on with some difficulty and then hugged it to her body. She listened to the Rat and the the wolf...no Shadow Lord and shook her head. "Just because they do things different doesn't make it wrong. The Emerald Mother made them as they were as she made us all. If we were all the same and thought the same there would be no need for all the Fera now would there?"
Though they had their own War of Shame it hadn't been to the extent of that of the Sunset people, though like them the Bear folk had suffered the most. But they had managed to stop, see they were being used and unite against those who would use them. Now if only their silly brethren outside the Courts would learn the same.
"When The Emerald Mother made us, she didn't 'gift' us with that ability." Though the Silver Lady had done her best to compensate for that.

"And I was born in a rubbish bin, with a litter of twenty, and my mother ate half of us," Karin retorted. "Do you see me mucking around in dirt? Hmm? Stop staring or I'll rip your fucking eyes out!"
That last bit was not directed at either fox or wolf. It was directed at a man in overalls who was now staring at the odd trio. He quickly looked away and continued walking. Karin, however, stopped. "And stop bleeding all over my coat. I'll have to kill another piggy to get a new one," she said to Sakura. She stepped up to a public phone and dialled a number, throwing a few coins in. There was no answer, so Karin hung up and swore. Nobody answered the second number either, so Karin tried the last one. "If no one picks up, we'll just have to have puppy-stew tonight," she said over the phone to Sakura.
