Otto sighed as they were propelled down another white-walled, white floored corridor, where had his plan gone wrong? As he began to run through the events of the last couple of weeks he glanced at the others. Raven was scowling at him, probably blaming him for the loss of her katanas. Shelby and Wing were staring at each other, Franz was mumbling something, probably about food. Nigel glancing nervously at the men in front of them.

Suddenly a door was opened and they were shoved, hearing Shelby's cry of shock Otto looked up and stared directly into the eyes of Laura Brand…

Two weeks ago:

Otto glanced at Raven before returning to his cup of tea, he wondered what the assassin was worried about. Raven's arm suddenly shot out and grabbed the cell phone in front of them seconds before it began to ring.

"Hello", knowing exactly who it was since the only other person who know this cell number was sitting in front of her.

"Raven, it's Nero, we have a situation"!

"Why? What's happened?!"

"Well", mumbled Nero sounding embarrassed, "Students Fanchu, Trinity, Darkdoom and Argentblum have just hijacked a shroud and we believe that they are coming to find you".

"Next time don't call unless it is an emergency, I will deal with them when they get here". Hanging up she scowled at Otto, who simply smiled.

"Something wrong Raven? Like maybe certain students escaping from H.I.V.E?" Otto asked.

In answer she got up and began to walk back to the alley that hid their shroud, Otto began to think his idea about not telling Raven his plan was a bit dangerous. By the time they got back to the safe house Raven had calmed down a little and Otto began to think that he was safe, until the others arrived at least.

On the shroud:

"Give it to me", snapped Shelby trying to grab the controls of Wing.

"No" he replied, his normally calm demeanor haven disappeared less than an hour into the flight "we'll crash if you take over"!

"I am thinking this is not such a good idea now" mumbled Franz looking like he was about to throw up. Nigel checked the gps coordinates again, hoping that while the two pilots were bickering they hadn't gone off course.

"We are here" came Wings voice, now that they were at their destination he didn't sound so sure about Otto's grand plan, with as they found out very soon was well founded...

As the shroud door opened Raven came storming in, katanas waving and a murderous look on her face…
