{A/N} Read, enjoy and review please!

"Hell, kid. Would never have thought you would try to save me," Tom grunted in pain, wincing.

"Don't worry man. We're all in this together. Enemy of my enemy is my friend, that what they say, ain't it? Police my enemy, you my friend then!" Flamer panted as he ran, carrying Tom over his shoulder. Tom slowly reached back to his pocket and grabbed his phone. He dialled Ella.

"Hello? Tom?"

"Uh, yeah, Blackout? I need you to pick me up, y'know?" Ella knew instantly that he was not alone, otherwise he wouldn't have used her codename.

"Yeah. I can,"

"Preferably something that can get in and out quickly. And stylish, if you can," Tom grinned. Ella sighed,

"What kind of situation did you get into this time? Alright, I'll speak to my info person and see what I'll get. Don't worry about telling me your location. I'll hack into your phone's GPS and find it out on the way," Ella replied before hanging up. Tom sighed,

"Glad to know my phone is hackable at any moment," he mumbled.

"She coming soon then? With the getaway vehicle?"

"How the hell would you know that?"

"These ears aren't just decoration, man. Heard every single word, 'cluding your real name," he panted in reply.

"You know what? Just shut up and focus on running, I hear shouting behind us."

After about ten minutes of running later, Flamer practically collapsed on the ground in a clearing.

"Can't go on," Flamer huffed, lying on the ground next to Tom. Not long after, they heard the forestry behind them rustle along with footsteps.

"Freeze, police!" One voice called out. They tilted their heads to see a line of policemen with guns varying from pistols you could buy anywhere to a full-custom light machine gun. Two even held the LRAC F1 anti-tank rocket launcher pointed at them. Tom rolled his head away from them and sighed,

"They really are delusional, bringing an anti-tank with them. Well, nice to have met you, Flamer."

"You too, Tom," Flamer replied tiredly.

"Just messin' with you kid. We ain't dyin'. At least, not today." Tom laughed out loud, confusing the police officers. All of them were suddenly aware of a sound tearing the sky asunder. As soon as the policemen, and the duo, looked up, the sound was drowned out by the devastating sound of rapid machine gun fire. The two holding the rocket launcher were blown away by the hail of bullets first; the others not long followed not long after.

"Hey! Heard you needed a ride!" Ella yelled over the sound of the helicopter once the immediate area was clear of threats. The helicopter landed but its blade still whirring. Ella helped Tom and Flamer on board before lifting off again quickly.

Not a second after the wheels of the helicopter left the ground, another wave of policemen appeared. One carried a FIM-43C Redeye anti-aircraft rocket launcher.

"Now, that... Is a smart choice for them," Tom groaned upon seeing it.

"I've got this, sir!" The person in the cockpit yelled back to Tom. It took a few moments for the policeman to get set up and into a balanced position before firing; by then the helicopter was high above the ground. But the fired rocket had locked onto the helicopter and was travelling to it.

Just a second before impact was imminent, the pilot hit a button and the helicopter spew out flares. The countermeasures interfered with the rocket's infra-red homing system, causing it to change targets and explode at the flare instead. The occupants of the helicopter sighed in relief.

"So… Nice ride, thanks for saving our asses," Tom told Ella as she took out a medical kit and started treating his wounds.

"Couldn't have done it without Rose."

"Rose?"

"Yessir! That'd be me!" the pilot replied

"Who's she?"

"My info person. Do you really think I find and take all the things I did by myself? Usually she gives me a location and I do the dirty work of taking it. But she's just joining us for a joyful helicopter ride on this fine day. So… who's the kid?"

"Name's Flamer. Was supposed to be my victim. But we bonded pretty quickly during our escapade. Namely the part where he saved my ass by carrying me."

"Okay then," Ella said before extending her hand to Flamer, "Name's Blackout, nice-"

"Don't bother with codenames," Flamer replied, leaning to both of them and whispering, "I know his name is Tom. Just tell me your real name and save us the trouble."

"He heard us on the phone," Tom explained.

"Fine then. I'm Ella."

"Flamer. Nice to meet you." Flamer shook her hand.

"Now… question about our situation. What the hell are we doing on an HH-60G Pave Hawk?"

"Yoouuu- said something fast and stylish. And from the urgency it meant that you were in trouble. So we got this bad boy. And let's leave it at we borrowed it without the intention of returning."

"So… where you two headed?" Flamer asked both of them.

"Where are YOU going?" Tom asked in return. Flamer shrugged,

"I was going to school. But then I decided I want to join you guys instead."

"Wait, what?!" Ella exclaimed.

"You two seem like fun. And I'll get to see some action too, more than I did living alone."

"Kid, I don't think you understand-"

"You're the one misunderstanding me, woman. I'm also a killer too! I want to kill! Why the hell do you think I saved his ass?" Flamer pointed to Tom.

"I'm here too, you know?" Tom growled.

"Fine then, join. But you better pull your own weight or we're dumping you off in the middle of an ocean or a desert. As for where we're going, I've brought all our stuff. I was thinking of Surnak."

"Moving towns? I guess it is time to," Tom said.

"Let's go then! Rose, you heard that?"

"Loud'n'clear!"

They touched down on a helipad after the short flight. Tom looked around, he saw a small runway strip and an abandoned port not too far away.

"This place is abandoned for a long time now. Good hideout place near here," Rose hollered as she got out of the cockpit and took her helmet off, exposing her Leafeon ears.

"Wait… you're staying?" Tom asked.

"Yeah, of course. You guys make up about ninety percent of my income rate. If you guys move towns then I'll move too. So… kill two birds with one stone, I'll be joining too, as your info guy, which you need," she grinned. Tom looked at Ella, who shrugged innocently.

"Great, our team just officially doubled in size in one day," Tom half growled, half groaned.

"Do I get to learn your real names?"

"Fine, fine, why the fuck not? Tom, Ella. Go figure which name belongs to who," Tom replied tiredly.

"Well… Nice to meet you then, Tom. Now why not we all go to the house that'll be our safe place?"

"What the fuck do you mean you can't catch them or kill them?!" Marc exploded. "I went through all the fucking trouble to get us those rocket launchers! You can bet no goddamn policeman would ever get to SEE a rocket launcher!"

"Sir, they had a-" one of the officers spoke up.

"I don't want excuses! I want their location! NOW! If not sooner!"

"Sir, yes sir!"
