How's this for setup? Let me know if you want me to change anything!

Roman pressed his back against the metal and waited patiently for the Altesian soldier to pass, which was bullshit. Roman Torchwick didn't do patience. If Cinder had stuck to the damn plan, he wouldn't have to. He and Neo would be in a Bullhead on their way to Atlas right now, with Cinder dead and her junior crime squad in jail. He'd be left with the funds from their operation-- not to mention a hell of a boost to his street cred.

But no. She had failed to tell him half the plan, again, so he'd have to reschedule his genius backstabbing maneuver, again. She was obviously doing this on purpose, and that was fine. He wouldn't trust him either. What wasn't fine was that Cinder's secrets had gotten them into a fight they hadn't agreed to. They'd escaped of course. It was his specialty. Unfortunately 'escaped' was a relative term because he was still stuck deep in the bowels of the Colosseum, trying to avoid the military security and four countries' worth of Hunstmen, dragging an injured Neo through the ventilation ducts until they made it to an exit. Needless to say, he was not in the best of moods.

"Clear." He turned back to Neo. "Ok, we're two lefts and a right away from the southern return vent. Once we're there we can call for a ride and get off this floating shithole. Think you can stay with me for that long?"

He probably could haul her unconscious ass through the ducting, but that didn't mean he wanted to.
