She didn't think it was possible, but there actually was a way this could all get even worse. "Ruth! Not so loud! If the others hear...oh God..." They wouldn't really fight in a public place, would they? A semi-crowded public place now that she took a good look around. That reminded her. "And you!" Fran pointed at Eric's face. "Watch your language. I swear, why don't you just act civilized for once in your life." Stepping between the two women, she pried Eric's shirt from Ruth's grip and pushed them apart until the were both arms length away. This is why we can't have nice things.

"Hey, she fucking started it!" She growled at the medic. "And you!" Eric turned her attention to the soldier, "You don't own the fucking store. You've got no right to tell me I'm not allowed to be in the same public area as you!" She completely disregarded thr medics warning about her language. Fuck the police. She could talk however she wanted.

Ruth was getting yelled at and it just made her want to fight back more. With Fran making her let go of Eric, this made her really feel like punching Fran. "I did not start it!" Crap, she was back to yelling. "You bumped in to her." Ruth said aggressively pointing from Eric to Fran.
Everything happening was just making Ruth more frustrated and riled up.

Zacharie visibly grimaced at the sight before them. Why? Why does this brat show up everywhere I go? It’s almost like her job is just to ruin my day! The Spy didn’t approach them at first, he hung back near some clothes racks and let Gordon move ahead. Maybe he or Fran could defuse the situation before he had to get involved. He really didn’t want to, because he was almost certain the first thing that would fly right out of her damn mouth was the fact that he snuck into their commons and stole files. He wasn’t going to let his cover be blown now.

As Zacharie stood back to avoid direct confrontation with Eric, Gordon made his way slowly hoping to not let himself be noticed just yet. It was probably for the best that Zacharie stay back after what happened that day between the Scout and the Spy. By the time Gordon approached, Fran had separated the two but the tension between them didn't settle.
"Alright. What is going on here?" Gordon asked with a slightly irritated expression on his face. "Can we not yell in a public area?"

Puzzled shoppers were beginning to stare and walk just a little bit faster past what was clearly a fight waiting to happen. Come on Fran, you can save this. "Ruth, it's okay, really. It was an accident. You don't need to fight her for bumping into me."She had both hands pressed their chests, physically pushing the two as far apart as she could. God help her if they made it out of this Eric was going to pay dearly for this one. "Listen here Eric," She hissed. "If you don't behave yourself, you're going to walk out of here with one less kidney." She hadn't really decided if she was serious yet. It could go either way at this point.
"And you." Glaring daggers at the soldier, she said in a jarringly pleasant tone, "Please keep your voice down. People are beginning to stare."

Eric folded her arms and looked away from the two of them win indigent "Hmph!". Who did this medic think she was, her mom? "Whatever," she grumbled, "Keep your stupid soldier under control and we wont have problems."

Ruth grabbed Fran's wrist and chose to remove her hand from her person slowly. Mostly because Fran said 'please'. Although the daggers hurt, she did as she asked. "Fine. I'm..." She was about to apologize, but there was something that stopped her from doing that. Scout.
Bitch has got to be crazy to say something like that. Seriously, bad move.
She felt controlled one second and then she snapped. Weaving past her medic, Ruth pulled her arm back for a right hook against that morons face.

Zacharie watched as things failed to calm down after Fran’s intrusion, weaving quickly his way around aisles to get closer to the group while avoiding being detected. Fantastic. No, it wasn’t going to end up being that easy was it? He was going to try and make a hasty exit, but as soon as he saw the Soldier raise her fist he knew it was going to be trouble.
Moving as quickly as he could he almost suddenly appeared behind Ruth and grabbed her wrist before she could swing. “Ahem.” He cleared his throat, making his presence known.

Eric stumbled back in surprise, not expecting the soldiers attack, and especially not expecting the spy to save her. This was just going down hill shockingly fast. "Oh what the fuck are YOU doing here?"

With her arm twisted and a Spy on the end, Ruth didn't know what to think. She knew this guy but she didn't really. Her heavy breathing now beginning to calm down. What was she doing? Why was she doing this? The stress of moving bases must be getting to her. All she could do was stand there with her hand behind her head breathing and waiting.

“I was about to say the same to you.” The spy replied to Eric with a sneer. Zacharie directed his attention to Ruth, just holding her wrist tight enough so she couldn’t make any sudden movement. “Save it for the battlefield, comrade. You understand, no?” His tone was stern, but not condescending as he was to Eric. He’d just hoped that maybe the Scout would get shooed off before she’d say anything else.

Ruth was okay now. She understood what she had to do and why hurting Eric now wasn't the right time. She turned her attention to Zacharie. As if her face wasn't red enough with embarrassment with her behavior, there was this random guy holding her arm behind her head and holding on tighter and tighter every second. "No? Yeah!" Whatever he was saying, she understood. "Yes."

Gordon looked with slight anticipation as Zacharie had held onto Ruth's wrist. She seemed to have calmed down a bit but with Eric seeing Zacharie there he knew that this was not going to end well. On top of that it seemed that everyone in the store was looking at them now.

As Ruth shoved her way past, Fran was certain this was it. Someone's going to get punched. They're all going to get kicked out. Fran was going to be banned form the one decent store in town. She watched in utter horror, the soldier's fist mere inches from Eric's face.
Before she could strike, a stern hand clamped around her wrist. Zacharie, smooth and calm as ever, ended the fist fight before it began. Fran was flooded with relief, but she was none too happy to just let the spy step in and save the day. "Thank you, but I had this under control."
It was then that she felt the full force of every pair of eyes in the store fixed solely on their group. "I uhh, think we should go outside." She spoke in a harsh whisper, jabbing Zacharie in the ribs and pointing to the door.
