Blood Kin, Chapter 1: Night Patrol
"Report." Quinn stated.
"This is Shadow and Nature on ariel re-con. All is clear on the roof tops." Shadow answered, jumping onto another roof. "I don't think our thief is going to show."
"Give it some time, Shadow. He may suspect something." Nature encouraged.
"I just feel like we're on a wild goose chase. Why would someone want to rob a bank?" she sulked.
"Not enough gamble in it?" Nature sarcastically questioned.
"Wouldn't know. Never tried."
"Enough, you two!" Dodger shouted over his com.
"Saber, Hunter, report." Quinn ordered.
"Everything's clear from the front." Saber concluded.
"This doesn't feel right." Hunter looking through the darkness, his senses working overtime.
"Thank you! Some body's actually listening!" Shadow screamed.
"Calm down, pet." Dodger reassured. "Just take a breath and stop shouting.
"My guts are telling me something's wrong."
"Maybe it was all those tacos you ate." Saber hissed.
"Ha ha very funny."
"Enough, all of you! If you keep shouting who ever is coming will be leaving." Quinn shouted regaining control.
"Who died and made you captain?" Shadow snapped.
"I believe, Shadow, that I have just a little more experience than you or anyone else breaking in." he heard the agreement from the others.
Short Circuit turned, seeing something out of the corner of his eyes. "I think he's arrived." he stated, peering out into the lamp lit street. He walked out, turning his attention from Dodger. Around the corner, Quinn was, jumped by an unknown being.
Dodger watched, staying out until his friend needed him. Before warning from anyone, the large trash can at his end of the alley, started changing to its natural state, Dodger was knocked unconscious.
From over each com unit, a low, sadistic voice filled their ears. "Shadow, my dear, I have come into possession of something important to you." They heard the low moans behind the voice.
"Dodger!" Shadow yelled terrified.
"Yes." The voice laughed. "If you want him back....come and get him." The voice was gone.
"Regroup in the alley!" Quinn bellowed.
"Who was that Shadow?" Nature looked for her temperamental friend. "Shadow? Shadow!" She realized. "Quinn, Shadow's gone after...who ever that was!"
"Morgana, wait for backup! We'll be with you in a moment."
"No time. I'm going after her." She flew higher, spotting Shadow jump from a roof to the ground. Quickly she followed.
When she caught up with her two blocks south of where they originally were, Nature grabbed her by the shoulder. "Shadow, wait for backup!"
"He's got Dodger!" Shadow stormed, unusually out of breath.
"Who's got him, Shadow? Who?" Nature placed her hands on the younger woman's shoulders, trying to calm her.
"Sinister. Sinister's got him." The look of worry rapidly growing on her face.
"Why would this Sinister want him?"
"Long story. Tell ya when we have Dodger safe." She took a deep breath. "Now let's go get him." "Wait for backup, Shadow."
"You don't get it, he will kill him! You wait for backup." She yelled taking off to where Dodger had last been, to try and find him. Nature quickly tailed her, searching for the others as she went.
Shadow stopped in front of a building, watching Sinister carrying Dodger's limp body. She was just about to step through the door when she was held back by Nature.
"We should wait for the rest." Nature tried to reason.
"I'm not going to let him kill Dodger!" Shadow screamed, busting through the door. Nature, knowing she should wait, rushed in to help her friends. She reached Shadow Standing in the middle of the room just as the doors on both ends swiftly closed behind them. A thick green gas began leaking through vents in the walls. Their vision was slowly beginning to blur.
"What is that?" Nature shouted.
"I don't know, but it can't be good." Shadow screamed back, choking a little.
Out of no where, Hunter, swiftly pulled the doors from their hinges, turning his face from the smoke in filled the room. Saber grabbed the women by their wrist and dragged them out, coughing.
"Are you guys okay?" Hunter asked.
"Dodger...in...there." Shadow said coughing with each word.
"Okay." Quinn charged his hands, shorting out the sprinkler system, clearing the room of the gases. He and Hunter ran in, then out carrying Dodger between them. Dodger came to, and the girls regained their regular breathing.
"Is everyone alright?" Quinn queried. They all shook their heads.
They headed for home, ready for a good rest. It had been a very rough night.
Woowhoo! End ch. one. Hope you guys liked that. Next chapter coming as soon as we can steal it back from Pixie.. Faster with lots of reviews. The journey will continue. He don't know but there may be a few words in red. We thinks that's because they were typed on another computer.
