In this quiet neighborhood, the police would be here sooner than the normal areas Vesper patrolled. The urgency to get out of there was held back by the need to make sure the innocent bystander got away. While the young lady ran away, Vesper stood where he was. Too close to the door the gang members came out of for comfort.

Vesper reached into a pocket and pulled out his smoke bomb. He activated it and threw it down in front of him as gun barrels swung in his direction. He gave the gang members a cheery wave before turning and running like hell as a jet of smoke started to cover up his exit.

He hoped they followed him instead of going after whoever that lady was. He was the more valuable target after all.
