Raku will be so proud of me~ I did it in an hour. 8D I fail, but I enjoyed writing it. I will be going to Europe next week so I'll try to update allot that weekend to make up for it. XD Thank you for reviewing~ It makes me feel good. D:
"Inside is your pay, you can always contact me to check up on how we are doing. Expect results in no less than 3 weeks."
Needless to say this news was fairing alarming to Courtney. She would have to solve the code to the building in one try and probably within a minute to prevent people from being suspicious. Thank goodness so many people were fired no one knew who the new employees were.
The car was silent as Courtney pondered what to do. She was resting her arm on the window of the car and looking aimlessly out at the passing trees. So many things, but nothing you could touch, it was all so blurred and that was exactly why it was interesting. Mikhail slowly drove the car back to the hotel before parking in one of the open spaces. Demire and Kai hopped out of the car, however, Courtney was still staring out of the window, deep in thought.
With a brief sigh, Mikhail was resigned to his fate. He walked over to the other side of the car and opened the door, leaving Courtney to tumble out before catching herself on the pavement. If looks could kill, Mikhail would be long on his way to heaven. "..dimwit?" You could tell when Courtney was mad because her language suddenly got much more… violent. Her normally calm façade could shatter and a murderous intent could be felt just by standing next to her. No one liked talking to her in this state.
"Just trying to wake you up, Court. Now let's go inside." Mikhail had to move the conversation fast in order to prevent her from taking action… Too late. Mikhail found his arm grabbed by her claw like grab and he was pulled into the side of the car, letting his head meet the metal with some force. Luckily, Courtney didn't know many martial arts and only had her feminine rage to provide power.
During the whole thing Demire was leaning on the wall beside the motel door watching and Kai was inside the building getting a cup of coffee. Mikhail had no hope for help being abandoned by his "friends". They would tackle him out of the way of a car, but saving him from Courtney was a no go. Mikhail opened one eye to look up at Courtney who had apparently calmed down after tossing him into the vehicle.
"Let's get inside, and get up off the ground, you look pathetic like that." You could say Mikhail had a tentative relationship with Courtney, if you caught her in a good moment she would complain that he had waaaay too much of a baby face for being so old. Her shoes knocked on the ground in a rhythmic pattern as she marched to the elevator. By that time Mikhail had locked the door and Kai had finished putting the sweetener in his coffee.
Huddling in the elevator seemed be suffocating, especially when one of the party was in a horrible mood. Courtney was the first to step out of the elevator, but she was also the first to stop moving and head back into the elevator. "Were going, now." It was a quiet hiss, but every detected the serious hint in her tone.
After the doors had closed, Demire whipped around to pose the question they were all secretly asking inside, but Courtney already had an answer, "Mikhail, punch Kai. We need to make him unrecognizable." If you pulled out all possible meaning from those words it meant the police or some of Kai's former friends were at their room. The motel owner had probably ratted them out because of Kai's facial features. He did look pretty obvious since everyone on the planet could describe how he looked down do a birthmark.
Kai nervously glanced over at Mikhail only to receive a good whack in the face. "He'll forgive me later, I hope." Mikhail had used a bit too much power in the hit as Kai was effectively knocked out. "Now…Any ideas how we can get out of this elevator and not look suspicious? The hotel staff saw him just dandy a minute ago and now he's sleeping like a baby with hot coffee all over him."
Courtney had one of those moments where you just want to smack your head into a wall, she didn't honestly this the idiot would hit Kai. She was really going to suggest plastic surgery since they could afford it from past jobs. "Just…Say he fainted suddenly. We can probably fib anemia because he is so skinny anyways." It was true, Kai was skinny like a twig so anemia wouldn't be too hard to believe, the boy practically lived off coffee anyways.
Xfile knew what they had to do, Mikhail slung Kai up in his arms and Demire practically flew out the elevator to push open the door yelling "Hurry Mikhail!" in the meantime. It was a perfect worried scene; Courtney had the car keys and was the first to hop into the driver's seat in a fake appearance of worry. And Kai…well he was doing an amazing job at not moving, it was pretty hard to do badly in his situation after all.
Demire had to hold back a smile as she heard the nervous staff chattering about the poor boy. But soon a solemn mood overtook the car, what were they going to do to protect Kai now? They had gotten out into the car, but now they had to find a new place to hid and act fast or risk being found.
