Murder on the Dance Floor

Hawk and Shark's pov

"Come on let's check downstairs" Shark called

After a quick glance around the empty bar Hawk led the way down the stairs to the club floor which although less crowded was still in full swing.

"So what now then?" Asked Hawk

"Ask someone who works here I guess"

"And we know who works here how?"

"Well we could start with her" Shark pointed to a black haired woman who had just left the DJ platform on the other side of the room and Hawk was suddenly all for going over and talking to her.

"Hey gorgeous" Hawk started

"Bye irritating" She replied without even looking at him, dismissing the chance of conversation as she turned and walked away towards the other side of the room where some of her equipment was sitting.

But before she could get very far Shark stepped in the way "Hi there, we were wondering if we could ask you if you'd seen our friend?"

She looked him straight in the face before stepping around him "What makes you think that I've seen your friend?"

"Well someone who works here seemed to know her so..." Shark answered

"So you assumed that I would too, wonderful logic" She interrupted

"Well do you know who might?" He asked, ignoring her sarcasm

She sighed and begrudgingly replied "If she's been here recently then Su Ji might be able to help"

"Su Ji?"

The woman turned and pointed to a camera fixed to the ceiling "Su Ji's the woman behind the cameras, she works up on the first floor. But the only way up is the elevator which you need clearance for. So unless you're good at climbing then it looks like I'll have to show you up there, I'll just be a sec"

"So, what's your name?" Asked Hawk slyly, still trying to chat her up.

"Oh right, I'm Katie Whiteston, and before you ask I've got a girlfriend" She replied as she quickly checked her stuff and made sure that it was all locked up and ready to go.

"Girlfriend?" Hawk gasped

"Yes, her name's Alicia, she works here part time." She caught Hawk's horrified face "And if you don't feel comfortable being around a woman who dates other women then I won't bother helping you"

"No, don't be silly, we're fine with it" Shark butted in quickly before Hawk could open his mouth to say anything.

"Then your friend needs a face transplant" Katie stated bluntly as she finished checking her equipment. Straightening up she turned and led them over to the elevator and swiped her ID card in the slot next to it to open the doors.

The door slid open silently and Katie stepped in. The boys were about to follow when a wave of noise swept through the club The clubbers all screamed and hit the floor as fast as they could when a round of gunfire resounded through the room.

"Get in!" She cried and slammed her fist on the 'close doors' button.

They only just leapt in before the doors closed behind them and the lift shifted uneasily into very jerky motion. A few moments later and the doors opened to reveal a smallish room filled with computer equipment and lots of other junk.

"Looks like somebody down there has gone a little bit trigger happy" Su Ji commented spinning round in her chair to face them as Shark and Hawk followed Katie out of the elevator and into the office.

"What the Hell did you bring them up here for?" Andrew asked suddenly from out of the shadows next to the door, making the newcomers jump.

"And what are you hiding there for?" Replied Katie, not at all surprised to find her boss hiding in the shadows. She was used to that sort of behavior, just more from Wolf than Andrew.

"To surprise whoever it is when they come up here to get us" He stated matter of factly, not keen to start a conversation.

Katie wasn't bothered about his unwillingness to talk either, ever since that fight with Wolf and the fact that they had lost her at that internet cafe he had been rather more moody than usual "Well then are you going to tell me who it is causing all this commotion then?" She asked Su Ji, who was always a lot better in the realm of communication.

"Of course" Su Ji answered "I can show you if you'd prefer"

Completely ignoring the two uncomfortable visitors Katie pulled up a chair next to Su Ji and examined the screen intently. "You mean to tell me that Kert has gone berserk and pulled out a machine gun?"

"Basically, yes"

"So he's our traitor then?"

"One of them, yes"

"What do you mean one of them?"

But before Su Ji could answer her the feed from the camera in the elevator caught their attention. Standing there staring fight into the camera was Hyena. "I know you're up there Su Ji so don't bother trying to hide from us when we come to find you" She called, loud enough for them to pick up on easily before raising her gun and destroying the camera.

Su Ji and Katie sat there for a moment, too shocked at the sudden reappearance of the supposedly dead gang member to do anything. But the sound of the elevator motors whirring slowly into action brought them both back to the present.

Su Ji immediately started trying to cut off the electricity to the elevator motors but to no avail "Oh for God's sake!" She cried furiously, punching the keyboard.

"You three had better get out before they arrive" Andrew stated suddenly, as they watched Su Ji getting more and more frustrated.

"Out, where?" Asked Hawk

"The roof stupid, unless you want to end up dead!" Katie snapped pushing them out onto the roof and making them hide to the side of the doorway so that they wouldn't be seen.

"Damn it! It's not working!" Su Ji yelled and nearly punched through the screen in her frustration, she wasn't used to encountering problems she couldn't fix, especially in her own system.

"Don't worry about that now, just try and see what's going on down there!" Ordered Andrew in an attempt to get her to calm down.

Taking a deep breath the panicking computer expert checked the feeds from the cameras. Four were down, presumably destroyed. The camera over the entrance showed nothing of any importance, just an unmarked black van. The remaining camera in the bar showed a much grimmer scene, Thomas (Aka Cobra) the security guard had been killed, trying to stop the armed men getting in no doubt. In the main club Kert (Aka Bat) was making sure that none of the hostages got away, his machine gun ready to shoot the next person to move.

She was about to tell Andrew what she'd seen when the elevator doors slid open slowly and Hyena stepped out followed by the large menacing bouncer.

"Long time no see Su Ji. Miss me?" Hyena sneered, grinning evilly at the sight of Su Ji's face.

However Hyena never got an answer to her question as Andrew suddenly smacked her around the head with a heavy book knocking her to the ground, unconscious.

"So David, they paying you for this?" He asked casually, the book still in his hands

"Yeah, so what?"

"Nothing" Andrew answered before hitting him over the head as well.

"Andrew!" Su Ji cried, before he could hit either of them again "I think that's enough!"

Just then Katie poked her head around the empty door frame of the exit "You guys coming or what?"

A while later, Hyena's pov

"Ahh, my head" Hyena sat up holding a hand to her aching head. The last thing she remembered was stepping out of the elevator and seeing Su Ji... "Damn them, Andrew must have been waiting to ambush us"

For the first time since regaining consciousness she looked around her. The room was almost exactly as she remembered it, only now there was a large, heavy book lying next to her and a chair was flat on the floor. Then she got a nasty shock, David was on the floor next to her, blood on the side of his face. She leant over and felt for a pulse, there was none.

Oh well, she thought, he was only hired. She got up shakily and made her way slowly over to the computer, Kert was still waiting downstairs with the hostages. It was then that she noticed the empty doorway leading out onto the roof. Hyena slowly and shakily walked over to it and looked out, there was no sign of anyone.

"Damn it! They're gone!" She murmured, her head was still pounding.

She turned slowly and walked back over to the elevator kicking the body out of the way. As it descended to street level she felt the back of her head properly. Feeling something sticky she looked down at the hand that she had used, it was covered in her blood. She felt woozy, but that was probably just the pain from her head, blood didn't bother her at all, except when it was coming out of her...

The doors opened and she vaguely heard a few whimpers from the nearest hostages. "We're leaving"

"What? Why? Where are they?" Kert asked, clearly confused by the sudden decision to go and the lack of prisoners.

"They got away, and no more questions" She snapped as she walked as quickly as possible across the room.

"Is something wrong boss?"

"I told you no more questions! Now come on, or I'll have you strung up from the nearest camera!" She replied angrily, all she wanted was to get back to base and get her head looked at.

Kert shrugged, he wasn't particularly bothered, all he wanted was to shoot some more prisoners but from the looks of it Hyena wasn't in the mood. Before he followed her up the staircase he turned back to the clubbers "All of you stay down and count to a thousand before you even think about moving!" With an extra burst of gunfire to emphasize the point he turned and ran up the stairs of Hyena.

She was rather pissed off when he turned up, the gunfire had really made her head ache even more unbearably. "Do any more showing off and..."

"I know" He interrupted as they got into the van "Or you'll have me strung up from the nearest camera" And slammed the door behind him.

There we are, I don't like this one as much as the others, it seemed a bit rushed to me... Oh well, see you in Chapter 11...
