AN: Sorry this took so long, guys, my bunnies have been lax in their duties. Also, sorry this is so short.

4. Distraction

"Oh no!" Ziggy said, backing away from the others, a very hard task since he was on his knees surrounded by barrels.

"You're best at it," Summer said with a smile, as if she were giving him a compliment instead of sending him to his doom.

"And it's not like she'll kill you," Flynn added cheerily, "it's a waste of energy."

"Just go," Scott said cut in, "before more Grinders show up and we have no choice but to fight our way in."

Ziggy sighed and stood, his shoulders hunched as he trudged out from behind the cover of the barrels. Tenaya's back was to him as she oversaw the Grinders, who were moving barrels onto a Drone to be taken out of the city. What for, Ziggy wasn't sure, and he didn't particularly care. He approached her and tapped her on the shoulder. She whirled and he gulped. Her visor was down and he couldn't tell if her sudden smile was a good thing or a bad thing. Given his track record with her though, probably bad.

"Hi," he said, swinging his arms at his sides in an attempt to look casual. "I'm your distraction for the day."
