Skyler gets to the once-lit window, but doesn't see anyone in there, the room fully empty even when he turns on his night vision. Just as he wonders if he had just been seeing things, he hears a faraway, almost imaginary thump that galvanizes him into action. He scales the wall in - whoa! He means to make another jump like the first, which would have just barely gotten him within grabbing distance of the roof, but he instead catapults high up into the air, landing on the roof in an ungraceful tumble. He groans, rolling back onto his feet. So that's what that echo was. Man, he has got to stop getting blindsided by those.
He turns on night vision as he pushes off in the direction he heard the noise and is rewarded by a flicker of movement another two buildings ahead. He jogs over to the edge of the roof, his eyes switching between night vision and infrared to keep track of the movement. Whoever this guy is, he is hella parkour. Skyler still isn't sure if this guy is Key or Network (he's assuming one of the two by now; what little he can catch of his acrobatics looks pretty pro), but he does want to see what's taking one lone guy this far into Key turf this high up. He's just a little curious. (He definitely doesn't mind a game of tag.)
Skyler looks down, trying to suss out the path this guy used, and spots a window space with the glass missing, some scaffolding making the jump a possibility. Right. Skyler doesn't need it, but he does slap a hand against it as he makes a mighty leap into the window, his next landing a little more graceful now that he's aware of his newfound power.
He picks his way after the guy, his nightvision making his steps sure, stopping every once in a while to make sure he's outside of earshot of both the guy and the Keys patrolling the streets below. Hey, he's just following the guy; he doesn't necessarily want to give him a reason to stop. Besides, if the Keys catch him following some guy around, he could very well get pulled into a patrol just for going somewhere he wasn't necessarily supposed to be. Fuck that. The longer he spent around his fellow Keys, the more he felt like one of them, and that just reminded him of--
-- What's he doing now? Skyler slows and crouches down on the far side of a tented rooftop as he spots his target dropping onto a certain building. He's pretty sure that some of the squads were supposed to be guarding this particular warehouse earlier today, but Hellbird's squad wasn't one of the ones assigned and the assumption was that it was really none of their business. But what could possibly be going on in there that none of them were supposed to know?
He sees the guy fiddling with a rectangular panel on the wall in the black and green of his nightvision - right, of course, ventilation, because we're all international spies and this is the stealth part of the movie. He's pretty sure he can clear the distance within them within seconds, so he doesn't bother with getting any closer. That, of course, means he's also not lifting a finger to stop the guy either. By now, he's pretty sure that this is a Network vigilante, because nothing quite says echo-riddled like a guy who moves and operates like a spy who is literally sneaking into enemy territory. If he wants information, hey, let him have it. As far as Skyler's concerned, this guy deserves it. He narrows his eyes, allowing his eyes to tap into the lock-on function built into them. If he's going to keep tabs on this guy, and if Skyler wants in on any info he picks up... He'd better to do it right.
