Chasity's POV

The rain was coming down in torrents. Presently, I was standing in the doorway of a store that had a rut jutting out so I wasn't in the rain, but my instincts were telling me that I was going to have to move quickly. I hated the rain, it dulled the senses and it was statistically proven that more captures were made during the rainy season than any other.

I remembered not too long ago, I loved the rainy days. Made my job easier when I was a hunter, not the hunted.

I slipped my hood on and continued down the road, making sure that I was paying attention to every little detail that would make a difference.

I rounded the corner and walked up the steps to my apartment building.

"Good morning Aurore." The land lady said, smiling at me. "How are you?"

"Morning." I answered in perfect French. "I would be better if the weather outside wasn't so icky." I waved at her headed up the stairs to the 2nd floor. I was taking out my key when I noticed the smallest detail. There was a boot print in front of my door. I took a deep breath and continued into my apartment like nothing was wrong.

I opened the door and tossed my keys onto the stand that was right there and I kicked my shoes off. I went through the mail that I had collected on my way up and headed into the kitchen. I turned on the hot water and waited till it was steaming hot and started to fill up a cup.

"7 months away and you're already getting rusty." Said a voice behind me. I shut off the water and turned to see Jack standing in the doorway to the living room.

"I wouldn't go that far." I smiled leaning back on the sink.

"You sure do have a lot of confidence." He said, not smiling.

"And so do you." I said looking around. "To come all by yourself."

"And Charlie said that I would need back up. I can't wait to see his face when I show up with you in hand, all by myself."

"I wouldn't congratulate yourself just yet." I said, not smiling.

"Don't forget that I know you." Jack hissed.

"You thought you knew me." I said cooly.

He started to draw his gun, but his movement was slow and he looked like he was having a hard time making that move.

"You looked in the drawer, didn't you?" I smiled. Now his movements completely stopped and the only thing he could move was his eyes.

"What did you do to me?" He asked, not being able to open his mouth all the way.

"That drawer that you dug in has a spring contraption that releases a chemical when you open it. That drug is the first of its kind. Took me a long time to find it too, not to mention the price I had to pay to get it. I'm not going to tell you the name, just in case you want to go and find it."

I walked over to him and dug into his pocket for my ID's, passports and money. I took them all back and started walking around the apartment getting my stuff together.

"It's nothing personal." I told him, grabbing my jacket and putting it on. "You wouldn't understand." I grabbed the cup of water and poured it over his head. He screamed and collapsed on the floor. The drug was being offset by the hot water, but I wasn't done with him just yet.

"You can keep running." He spat. "But your dad and Charlie have put a price on your head and I'm not the only one looking for you."

"I know that." I said, coming and kneeling next to him. "I don't need anyone on the inside to tell me that information. I know Charlie too well."

"The price for you is 2nd in command under Charlie." He said. Now that truly came as a surprise. I didn't expect my dad to go that far in seeing my return.

"That's my spot if I return." I whispered in his ear. I slipped a piece of paper in his pocket and smiled. "Make sure you give this to Charlie when you see him." I ran my fingers along the side of both his temples and his eyes went dull and he passed out.

I took one last look at him and headed out of my apartment, everything I was going to need was on me so I wouldn't have to come back. This was all too easy.

"Did you really think we would let Jack go by himself?" I was at the top of the steps and down at the bottom there were 4 boys all pointing guns at me.

"Now boys." I said smiling. "It's a little rude to point your guns at a friend."

"Don't play the innocent act." Jared said at the front of the group. "We've all been demoted thanks to you."

"I'm sorry." I said truly. "I told you to take the easy way out."

"Please just come with us quietly." Emily said behind me. She was close enough to me to make sure I wasn't going to run, but not close enough to strike.

"Don't make this hard for yourself." Bobby said right behind Jared.

"I'm not going back and all of you are going to be in trouble when I escape again." I said, taking slow deliberate breaths.

"We have orders to stun and detain you." Aaron said.

"I know." I said, jumping into action. I ran forward and jumped up onto the rail, keeping my balance on it as I slid all the way down.

"Open fire." Jared yelled, I threw up my arms and a small invisible force field was formed between me and them, the darts hitting my shield and falling useless to the ground. I hit Jared square in the chest when I landed and wasted no time taking out Bobby and Aaron. The 4th kid was new and I hit him with a one hitter quitter right square in the face, him crumpling like a sack of potato's. I grabbed a hold of his gun hand and shot it off right behind me, satisfied when I heard a thump.

I turned around to see Emily on the floor right behind me and I looked around me, all 4 guys out cold. I rolled my eyes and sighed.

This was going to take some time to clean up. I started with Jared and pulled his body over the couch that was in front of the big window.

I wonder when the next plane to Tokyo is I thought while I walked over to Aaron and started dragging his body to the couch. And I wonder if Rei is still around?

Now was as good a time as any to find out.
