[hopes 237]

*sings* Waiting, waiting, because Moho's probably going to kill one of us off~... I don't feel like writing~, 'cause I have writers block~! And yes, that was random.

OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!! BEAUTIFUL SONG!! BRAVA!!

[Misaki-chan 164]

[Misaki-chan 164]

Lol.

[hopes 237]

SOMEBODY WRITE!!

[tengaku squared 291]

NEVER!

[Misaki-chan 164]

WRITE! After all, we can't really get anywhere without our crazy almost killer/kidnapper.

[tengaku squared 291]

Me too lazy~ =3

[IdentityUnknown 216]

*rolls eyes* Thought so.

[tengaku squared 291]

(Here comes an ally for you. Cause you can't survive without one)

Unlike Mark's silent running, Maxx's footsteps were loud and frantic. His mind was in state of frenzy, trying to get as far away as possible, so he didn't see Misaki in front of him until he tackled her to the ground.

"Sorry there! Are you OK?"

Misaki groaned, "Yeah, I'm fine."

At that point, Maxx stared at Misaki. "You...you're Misaki, aren't you?"

"Yes..."

Maxx gave a sigh of relief. Then he firmly grabbed both of Misaki's hands. "Get away from here. As far as away as you can." He pauses, looking at a taxi that just parked on the curb. "Take that taxi, go to the nearest train station, and get out. Don't worry, it isn't Mark. Hurry!"

With that, Maxx resumed running. Before Misaki could process what was happening, he was already halfway down the street...

(So, what are you going to do?)

[Aeyra 260]

Fine. If no one wants to write, I'll do it.

EDIT: Sorry! I was writing before Mark came in! You can decide which storyline to use, whoever goes next.

"Thank god I brought cash... It's only fifty bucks a night..." muttered Misaki-chan, paying for their room as she was currently the only one capable of standing straight. "And this place is about 10 minutes walk from that hospital... There's no way he would guess we only ran this far, and we went through alleyways the whole time." Louder, she asked the clerk, "Do you have any directories for pizza places and stuff? Like, delivery?"

"Those should be in your room," he answered, flipping through a magazine. No wonder the place was so cheap.

"Thanks," she said, heading back to the room which all three were sharing.

When she entered the room, the first thing she noticed was Aeyra twiddling with her iTouch. "Hey!" exclaimed Misaki-chan, approaching her. "This'll only make you more dizzy!"

"I'm using it to find Chelsea," she mumbled, clutching her forehead. "You know how she gave us her number? My phone can call people. And if Mark knocked her unconscious like me, then like me she'll still have her cell phone. This is probably less traceable. But using a couple apps, I can trace her." She hit the call button, and was immediately surprised TI hear an immediate answer. But it wasn't Chelsea.

"Hello you three," purred a low, evil voice, a voice that caused them to freeze in terror. "This is Mark. I think you can guess Chelsea's condition."

"M-Mark?!" sputtered KKLT, instantly covering her mouth as she realized she'd given away the fact they were alive.

"I knew it. You guys are alive," he murmured, sounding almost happy. "May I ask who decided to call?"

They were silent for a moment before Aeyra answered weakly. "I-it's mine. I'm calling with my cell phone."

"Who would have thought you'd survive a bullet to the head?" mused Mark, chuckling. "And an explosion? But if you don't want your friend to die, your luck's run out. In order to get her back, I'd like two of you to exchange yourselves as my victims in place of her." He wants to break us, thought Aeyra. Everybody obviously wants to live, and one person has to be selfish enough to not give up their life. And if we don't, Chelsea dies, and probably the rest of us with her. "You have four hours to make up your mind. As you know, Aeyra, I have a very eager trigger finger." And with that, he hung up.

This part doesn't fit with the part I wrote...

EDIT: Maybe it does.

[Aeyra 260]

This part doesn't fit with the part I wrote...

I know, but I was writing ony itouch so it took forever and I didn't know you wrote something while I was writing. Gomen!

[tengaku squared 291]

Fine. If no one wants to write, I'll do it.

"You have four hours to make up your mind. As you know, Aeyra, I have a very eager trigger finger." And with that, he hung up.

Right after the chilling conversation, Aeyra slumped down in shock. A frantic knocking on the door brings her back to her senses, and she slowly opens the door.

From the door, a guy suddenly jumps into the room, trips, and lands on the carpet.

Before Aeyra or the others could react, he suddenly jumps to his feet, closes the door and frantically talks:

"My name is Maxx. I was one of the people working with Mark, but then Mark decided he didn't need me. Before he could kill me, I took to my feet and ran as fast as I could.

He called you, didn't he? He wants to "exchange", doesn't he? Don't listen to him!"

Maxx collapses on the floor, and Misaki, Aeyra, and KKLT rush to his side and help him up. Maxx takes a deep breath, and talks:

"He won't let go of you once you get near him. He'll kill the whole lot of you!

The only thing you can do is to run! Run as far away from here as possible!"

At this point, Maxx stiffens in place, and looks around crazily. "He's...coming!"

Sadly, he was telling the truth. The door suddenly collapses, and two teens with sunglasses and pistols walked in the room.

Maxx charges at the two teens. Without hesitating, the teens open fire on Maxx. Even though he was bleeding heavily everywhere, he refused to let go of their legs.

He turns to the girls in the room. "Run!"

[IdentityUnknown 216]

*whistles* Plenty of drama...I'll wait for Aeyra or Misaki-chan to get here...

[Misaki-chan 164]

So I get tackled to the ground, end up paying for a room, and might die? Great~....

-----------

Listening to the guy, they tried to run but the two teens were still blocking the door. Misaki's eyes looked around for an escape route. Her eyes landed on the open window and a tree, and with a rather cat-like grin, charged for it. She yelled, "Come on!" as she raced to the window.

Using the window sill as a pushing off point, she jumped over to the tree that was next to their motel and landed on a branch. After her came Legend, who was as successful as her. Finally, Aeyra went. But as she was reaching for the branch, her head began to throb and blurred her vision. Her hand tried to grab a branch that wasn't there and began to fall. "AEYRA," they screamed as they tried to grab her hand. But no avail, as both missed. Misaki, the smart person she is, did the first thing she could think of, and that was to jump out and fall too. She quickly pulled her into her arms and twisted her body so that her back was to the ground. They hit the ground and let out a whine/scream of pain. It hurt a lot more for her since she was the one who took more of the impact. "Misaki," Aeyra asked frantically, "Are you ok?!"

She responded, "I'm fine, what about you?"

"I'll be fine."

"Good."

Legend climbed out of the tree and scolded, "Misaki! Why did you do that?!"

Misaki answered, "I'm the only one who isn't hurt. If Aeyra had taken that impact full-on, she'd be a lot worse off than she was before, and that was rather bad as it is."

She got up and quickly moved her joints before continuing, "Anywho, we better scram for now. We need to decide on our next move."

The gunshots from the two teens encouraged them to do so. The three ran as fast as they could until they reached somewhere to rest. She said, "For now, let's go to my uncle's house. He's probably at work by now, so he won't question you two."

-------------

To my uncle's house! XD

[IdentityUnknown 216]

I am not sitting wherever I am any longer.

******

"Hurry up!" IdentityUnknown hissed at Cure-kun, Lia, and her two friends. In a combined effort they had knocked two of the guards out, suffering quite a few bruises.

The base was well hidden, but easy to find the way out of. It had been specifically designed to be easy to escape, probably as a precaution. This served well for them as none of the five felt the need to enter it again.

Carefully, IdentityUnknown took a bobby pin she had gotten from Lia and unlocked a door. Inside, they put on jackets, checking for any bugs. They were in no hurry to be discovered so they had to be careful.

Quietly, they all snuck out of the buildings. Suddely Lia uttered a sharp cry.

"What is it?" Cure-kun asked urgently.

"It's Chelsea," Lia said shakily. "I think she might be in there."

IdentityUnknown gritted her teeth.This was about to get complicated but she wasn't leaving anyone behind. "Where's the nearest town?" she asked.

"I think it's several miles north, which would be to our right."

"Ok. You guys head there. I'll go find Chelsea. Lia, give me two more bobby pins and a phone. Each of you bring one for yourself...just in case. Alright?"

Without waiting for a reply, IdentityUnknown ran off.

[Aeyra 260]

"S**t," cursed Aeyra, peeking out of the garbage bin they had hidden in. "What do we do now? We're trapped in a stinking box filled with trash and there are two teenage guys trying to shoot us with illegally obtained guns. Just peachy."

"Quiet!" whispered Misaki-chan despite the fact Aeyra's complaining was nearly inaudible. But it wasn't like she could blame her- it wasn't a very comfortable situation and the girl had been shot in the head by a probable psychopath. When did an innocent vacation to New Jersey turn into a life-or-death chase of cat and mouse?

They heard calls mere yards away and froze, knowing that they couldn't survive a barrage of bullets even if most of them missed. More likely they'd be turned into a human version of Swiss cheese. "Don't find us, don't find us," prayed Legend almost silently, hands clasped in terror.

"We know you're here somewhere!" one of the yelled, voice projecting and echoing through the alley. "If you come out quietly now, we'll just bring you to Mark. If we have to search and you're found- well, how about we leave that up to your imaginations? You're just teenage girls, shouldn't be that difficult." They heard snickers, and lay with bated breath.

If they were taken to Mark, they'd probably (almost definitely) get killed. If they were found (which was also likely), they'd get shot. And if these guys were just trying to get them out of their hiding place... They were screwed either way.

"I'll distract them," gruntled Aeyra, getting into a position where she could open the lid. "I've already been shot in the head, I'll just be slowing you guys down. Stay hidden if they believe my story, run as fast as you possibly can if they don't. No time for protest," she whispered, keeping the two others from talking. "Take my iTouch- if you get Wifi, try and call me. If you hear shots... Run."

With that, she burst out, making sure to give Legend and Misaki-chan time to scramble into better positions to remain unnoticed. "Good girl," said one of the two. "As promised, you're not going to die here. What Mark does is a different question. Now where are the other two?"

Aeyra trembled as she stared into the barrel of the gun placed in front of her face. "T-they told me to hide in there because it was a good place and they ran off 'cause I was slowing them down. I didn't want to be in there but they forced me into it and-"

"Oh right. You're the deadweight who got shot. Mark's been talking about that. He swears he's not missing this time." Taking handcuffs out of his pocket, he clasped them around Aeyra's wrists. "Search for the other two! Look in that giant trash can first. She might have been lying." In a quieter voice he added, "You better not have been. Otherwise I'll be doing the honors."

"Don't find them," begged Aeyra silently, hoping the disparity didn't show on her face. She let out a huge sigh of relief as the other teen declared they weren't there. They'd probably managed to dig a bit deeper.

"Into the car you go," commanded the teen who had the gun pointed at her. "The trunk to be specific. We'll probably find the others later. Mark says one at a time is fine too."

As the car zoomed out of sight, Misaki-chan and Legend crawled out, watching it zoom away. "That's a police car," commented Legend.

[Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197]

Yo people?! Last I checked our hospital got blown up...

------------

"Ok how about this, we can't go to another hospital or police station in this chaos. How about following me to find my sensei?" KKLT suggested. "He's part of the members of parliament from Singapore on an international visit for security discussions here and I'm sure he could be trusted. Mark wouldn't be stupid enough to bomb him and get on the list of international fugitive."

"will he be able to meet us when he is so busy himself?" misaki asked.

"A hospital has just been bombed during this important visit... Do you think they would just ignore this?" assured KKLT. "I'm sure he would pressure the nj government to take action soon."

"No I don't mean if he will help us... I meant can we even reach him at all?"

"Oh yea... I will try to contact him... During this time, we must try to keep ourselves alive." KKLT replied. "Top priority now is to find a hiding spot..."

"Ah! How about... ...!" misaki chan suddenly Came up with a suggestion.

[Misaki-chan 164]

Misaki groaned, "Don't tell me they have the police on their side.... Damn. Anyway, we should get to a safe place and get some weapons."

Legend added, "You're right. There's no way we can win without anything. But the question is, where?"

"For now, let's go to my uncle's house. He should have the stuff we need."

"Which is...?"

"Guns, knives, Mace, flammable liquids and lighters"

Before she could respond, she stuck her and out and yelled, "TAXI!"

She scolded, "Misaki-chan! Are you mad?! They'll find us!"

She retorted, "They're on their way to their HQ. There's no way they would find us at this moment."

A taxi came before the argument could continue. The two girls slid in and Misaki instructed, "#### XXXX Street please."

The driver said, "You got it."

The drive was fairly short; her uncle's house was close by by car, so they got there in ten minutes. She quickly paid the driver before they hopped out and made sure the driver left before entering the house. The house was quiet and still; no one was there. "Must be at work," she muttered to herself as they tipped toed to the first things they would need. Misaki open the doors to the cabinet and reached inside to grab two semi-automatics. She threw one to Legend before closing the doors and opening a drawer underneath and grabbing plenty of clips and a few knives too. Next, they went to the kitchen drawers and grabbed four lighters. They then made their way to where her uncle kept the alcohol and grabbed two bottles of a drink that was very flammable. Finally, they went to the room where Misaki was residing and grabbed two bottles of Mace. "Um, Misaki," Legend asked, "Why do you have Mace in your suitcase?"

"My mom worries a lot."

Someone wish to add on?

[Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197]

Eh... Did I miss the part about going to your uncles'? O.o

[Tsukiko 73]

I'm in! Maybe I'm a bit late but this sounds so fun! :mrgreen:

----------------------------

Tsukiko yawned as she stared the screen of her computer. No one of her friends in DCW were online.

"That's weird. Usually there is at least one online... Maybe they're still sleeping. The time difference between Finland and States is 6 to 10 hours and it's now XX o'clock..." She though and yawned again.

"Excuse me miss... Would you like something to eat?" A waitress asked.

"Just a cup of tea please." The Finn answered. She was sitting in a café and was tired after a flight from...

"...Finland! Gosh, I forget I'm in States now!" She realized. "I can say now that this is really weird..."

[hopes 237]

...So... I feel bad now... I'm being used as bait...
