Twenty six
Not a particularly flashy number, nor one that would normally standout in such stark contrast from the rest of the report he received weekly. What made that number so intriguing, was not the number itself, but the descriptions accompanying each of those raids:
" dark figure appeared from the sky, supplies taken."
"...assaulted and subdued 12 men before the alarm could sound..
"..cargo hijacked so quickly, the night itself seemed to take it...
"5 minutes, it all happened in less than it 5 minutes...
"..felt a piercing stare through the night, I couldn't shake it off...
"In 5 minutes, kilos of supplies...gone..."
It was an operation on a scale unheard of in the city since the days of old. Slade smiled, he always did enjoy bird sightings.
A/N: For Wynja, thanks so much for 2060. This may be small, but it's all I got right now.
