Re: IC - CH1 - the tatoo artist.
Greg looks up to the window he had just escaped from and then to the car where Liz waits. He shrugs, then says over the BlueTooth connection, "Do you want me to come back up?" He was uncertain what to do. To go up would almost certainly mean being busted by the cops, and maybe partially devoured. But not going up meant Jacob could die at the hands and teeth of a crazy, hungry, mostly-dead woman. "What should I do?"
In an instant he gets an idea. "Liz... take the car and go," then he darts around out of the alley and toward the police. "Officers! Quickly! Someone's calling for help up there! I think someone's life is in danger!" He knew with reasonable suspicion the police would have all the authority in the world to enter the premises. And it would be better if they saw the old lady before she was killed - again. The mortician would break the truth and hopefully that would buy some leverage with the police station in Jacob's defense.

"Hang about, got to cover our tracks first," says Liz. "And please watch it with the names." She prepares to restore the CCTV camera in the alley to the way it was before she had interfered with it, so that it would once again record a live feed, but she needs to wait until Greg is no longer in its field of view.

Upstairs the old woman continues to struggle with Jacob, her teeth snapping close to his face but not quite making it

"One of them's knocking on the door now," reports Liz. "The other is looking at the upstairs window out front and calling it in on his radio. He prolly can't see in from down there, though."

With one final desperate heave Jacob manages to heave the woman off and scramble to his feet.

Re: IC - CH1 - the tatoo artist.
Greg is pushing forward with his plan - he has no reason to think Jacob is out of danger yet. Neither does Jacob for that matter.
Re: IC - CH1 - the tatoo artist.
Throwing the woman away, Jacob decides that there is a chance she will catch him if he will stay in the place so he decides to use the window again, hoping to escape her nasty teeth without crushing to the street.

Jacob climbs through the window and onto the ledge of the garage, he then lowers himself into the wreckage of the garage below. He is unlocking the garage doors when the woman slams into the window. She does not pursue him but simply stands rigid as though at attention, watching as he steps through the garage door and into the alley at the rear of the arcade.

Jacob breath heavily, cleaning his face with his sleeve. He then looks to his right and to his left, trying to figure which way is the easy one to escape.

"Thank God," says Liz. "Make sure you close the door behind you and leave everything as it was when you arrived. It has to look good for the camera, but I'll wait to flip it back to live video until you're clear. Both of you come back to the car."

Jacob heads towards the southern exit.

"One of the coppers is heading to the north end of the arcade," says Liz as she works feverishly on the laptop. "Make sure he doesn't see you. There's a bleeding great discontinuity in the video thanks to the broken roof, but I may be able to fix it in editing. Get out of the camera's line of sight fast, and don't forget to close the garage doors you just opened, but change nothing else. I have to go live soon." She tries to retrieve the footage of the old man crashing through the garage roof from the laptop's cache and tinker with the timestamp as best she can in order to splice it into the live video feed, thus making it appear that the man crashed through the garage roof in the present as opposed to a minute or two ago. Once that footage runs, she plans to then switch over to the live feed, though she leaves enough time for Greg and Jacob to finish up and get clear of the camera. She manages to do a competent job.

Re: IC - CH1 - the tatoo artist.
Greg puts his hand over his cut and applies direct pressure to minimize bleeding. Meanwhile, he ignores the pain and hauls ass to the car, paying attention to the camera spot of focus and keeping an eye out for the cop in hopes of avoiding both
