Fight or Flight? (Jackson)

The Mexican woman scrolled through the auction house listings, looking for a couple things-but either didn't find them, or found them at a price she wasn't going to pay. Double, maybe even triple the normal price she would pay, but ten times the listing price? Whoever would pay that was muy loco!
With a defeated sigh, Adelita tossed the phone on the foot of the bed, uncrossed her legs and slipped out of it. Once upon a time she had a friend in the city who was excellente with procuring weapon parts and other odds and ends, but not? Now her closest and seemingly only friend was tucked away doing rituals night after night. "No beuno." Adelita said quietly as her feet padded across the carpeted floor of the bedroom, where she bypassed the living room, kitchen and made it to the bathroom where she would shower and meander back to the bedroom where all her clothes were. Some cheaper things-but mostly, some expensive top end, name brand clothing Elighan used to provide her with. "Still a pendejo." Adelita cursed the human male as she thought about him, fingers gliding over her clothing until she pulled out a couple things and flung them on the bed.
Adelita was going to have to get her hands dirty. She hated it. Abhorred it, even. But, the woman was left with no choice. With Elighan out of town and prices being sky high, she was going to have to resort to stealing once again. Once upon a time, the Mexican woman had been good at it-but now? Now she would rather spend a lot of time building things that went boom and made an impact. She might be little, but Adelita always did everything BIG.
Finally, Adelita settled for something impractical color scheme wise-but she only had black dresses and breaking into a building in a dress? Not going to happen. So, Lita settled on a lime colored v-neck shirt, and dark blue, stone washed jeans, accompanied with some black heels. Again, not very stealthy for a thief, but it was the best she could do on short notice.
Red painted fingernails grabbed the tome to the West Tower apartment, found her way inside it and listened for Ambrose. Not hearing him, Lita didn't bother with searching for him. He was a creature of habit-so she guessed he was at the altar doing something or another with fae-something or another. Lita moved to the bedroom, grabbed a couple of gadgets, like noise makers and knock out bombs and left the apartment. While she rode the elevator down, Lita brought up the google map app in her phone and started to figure out her course of action for the night. Which buildings were worth going into and which weren't.
The elevator pinged and glided open, and the woman stepped out into the corridor. Dark eyes searched the immediate area, saw no one she recognized or nothing of interest, so she left the building, caught the honeymead train to Coastside and slipped inside a mundane office building where the woman knew she would find computer parts-because that's what an office had. Lots and lots of computers on hand and so, it was time to shop for parts.
