"Well, yeah--I mean, who wouldn't want to see their handiwork up close and in person? You never pass up an opportunity like this, when it comes by. So, come on, let's go."
Grasping ahold of one of her wrists, Sid, more or less, dragged Anastasia in the general direction of the Hilton.

"But--but--you could get caught!" She exclaimed, baffled.
No, she wasn't on his side, but...if you did these sorts of things, wouldn't it make sense to lie low once the crime had been committed?

He shrugged and threw her a look that brought her exclamation into question.
"Why does it matter? Anyways, if I'm caught, you're caught, too."

"What?" She said, confused.
"I'll be rescued!"

He rolled his eyes impatiently.
"Not if you're found as my accomplice, you're not."

She gaped at his response, almost unable to believe it.
"What...no one woud believe that! I was kidnapped!"

"Sure, you try telling them that," he snorted, "after I inform the authorities that you're actually a madwoman, driven insane by your insatiable love for me. It's no wonder you follow me along like a dog."
He stole a sidelong glance in her general direction to gauge her reaction.

She went still, for a moment, then very quietly and quickly stomped down on his foot, turned, and started running.

"What the--hey! Hey! Get back here!"
Glancing hastily around, he decided to let loose a volley of shots into the air with his rifle, and for good measure, fired a round at the ground near Anastasia's feet. Not close enough to wound her, mind, but close enough to ensure that the message properly sank in.

Gunshots were, in point of fact, probably the most effective thing to use on her--not to actually shoot her, it was only the sound--for it would inevitably bring to the surface a memory that she wished she could leave behind.
Anastasia screamed, ducking and then falling to her knees at what had become, for her, the worst sound in existence.

He made no hurry to get to her, slinging his rifle over one shoulder in the most casual manner, as if it were everyday that he made such a commotion in the streets of Paris.
"Dude, get up. We don't want people stopping in the middle of their very busy lives to stare and point at us--oh, too late. And look, they brought a friend."
A policeman had begun to stride over.

She tried to still the shaking, attempting to calm herself as best she could. This wouldn't help her situation at all. Getting her off-balance had been exactly what he'd been trying to do, after all, and she'd played right into it.
Slowly, she straightened, feeling wobbly.
"It's...not...my fault..." She said breathily.

"Yeah, but they don't know that," he replied, jerking a head at the curious crowd that had begun to gather around them. "I guess now would be a good time to admit that firing at you wasn't exactly the greatest idea. Come on."
He helped her to her feet and immediately broke into a run, dragging her along.

"You didn't realize that after the last two times you fired in the vicinity?!" She cried, tripping over her feet a bit.
This was insane, it was all insane.
But, it was perfectly in keeping with the way her life had been ever since she'd left Russia.

"I don't find that exactly fair!" he shouted over his shoulder. "You don't see me pointing fingers at you, do you?"
Leading at a choppy pace, Sid cut across a wide expanse of green lawn and scrabbled onto the driveway leading into the Hilton. Chest heaving, he seized ahold of the door handle and shoved Anastasia into the lobby.
"I think--I think we're safe," he wheezed.
