| Womack let her comment go; if she was worth it to Stark, then it was Womack's mission to get her back safely. As the closest pair of men touched ground, Womack, unstrapping Ana, looked up to them. "Where's the last three?" The look on the castle guardsman's face was grim. "They didn't make it. Jameson was wounded and stayed behind. He thought he could-" The roar of a thermal detonator exploding caused all of them to drop to the ground as debris shot from the open window, scattering the sidewalk around them.
When their straightened, Womack grimaced. "Let's signal the ride home. We don't want anything to happen to her." With a nod, the remaining security forces man began launching purple flares skywards; the plan was for the shuttle to remain close enough to try and get back to their position.

| Ana paled more as they spoke to each other. This was her fault, all these people dying. She let Womack remove the harness, and then fumbled a bit to help him get it the rest of the way off of her. Her hands were shaking and she was worried sick now. "Where is he? " she finally asked after he protected her, once again, from the shattering glass. Of course she was referring to Stark, whom thesemen had fought tirelessly for.
Ana glanced up at the man for a moment. "Just tell me he's safe. " She said, though she wasn't entirely confident that he wouldn't lie to her just to keep her moving. At the moment though, all they were able to do was wait and hope that the transport could make it back. Aside from that, Ana was trying to keep her mind distracted from the chaos.

| "I'm not sure how Lord Stark is, Miss Riley. The last I knew, he was spouting some crazy plan to jump into the fighting in a suit and rescue Representative Lekpin." Womack shot her a short grin as he moved the group to the cover of some rubble. "If I know him, he'll be just fine." The loud roar of repulsors approaching cut off whatever else he might have said; the shuttle cornered around one of the nearby skyscrapers to flare in for a landing.
"As soon as it touches down, make for the ramp! I'll make sure you're covered!"

| Ana looked at him disapprovingly for a brief moment before she let out a low sigh. "Are you kidding me? That's like suicide! " she yelled over the noise. They were both sidetracked by the shuttle coming around the corner. It was almost over, she thought to herself. Thankfully, the shuttle didn't touch down too terribly far from they were,
She was careful in making her way to the ramp. Careful, but as quick as she cold before of debris and bodies that littered the permacrete. Even as she got inside, she still didn't feel betted or very safe.

| Womack and the surviving three men with him lay down a blistering hail of covering fire as they backpedaled slowly towards the ramp, knowing down a number of droids on the street who were moving in towards the landed shuttle. Womack could hear the pilot's voice, more than a little nervous, through his short range comm in his earpiece, calling for them to hurry. As was Womack's procedure, he was the last one on the shuttle and as he boarded, the ramp began to close. Turning around to Ana, he flashed her a tired smile. "Well, all's well that ends-"
Womack jerked to the side, clapping a hand to his neck and crumpling to the deck as the ramp closed with a thud. Two of the guardsmen rushed to his side, trying to stem the flow of blood from what they knew on sight to be a severed artery. Alas, they were in vain, as Womack went limp in a matter of minutes. Across the hold, the solitary security forces man picked up the object that had been fired into the shuttle: a saw blade from a construction droid.
With the fight behind them, the shuttle lifted skywards rapidly, aiming to intercept the Viridian Sky in orbit... and bring Ana to safety.
