Mark had been wandering through the crowd, casually lifting things off of people, jewelry, watches, wallets… Honestly he was only doing it to keep his mind off of the potential explosive around his neck. That was when he casually strolled a little too close to Cisco, and was about to back away – completely unnoticed – before he saw the other man’s collar turn from yellow to red. Mardon grabbed his own and lifted the mirror of Lisa’s he had taken earlier and hadn’t actually put down yet noting his own was not red. “Thank fuck,” he breathed, and attempted not to look too relieved, or amused at the situation as he looked around at Cisco, “tough luck, little one.”
Cisco turned his head slowly to face the man that had been walking past. “Oh, hey Mardon. Yeah I know, sucky, right? Looks like STAR Labs is going to have to find a new mechanical engineer.” He threw his now empty water bottle into a gap between people, frustrated that he chose to drink after the argument with his sister. “You should get outta here. Really. I’ll be fine, I just have to find some tools to get this off before it blows.”
