Allegro's POV

I settled down in the plane's seat. Mets had wanted us to collect Anzia and show her the ropes on the mission to infiltrate the Organization headquarters. We'd found a couple spare amulets, a Solwing and a Hoplite, and she bonded immediately. Anzia was now sleeping with Cherub curled up on her lap chewing a piece of beef jerky. I was busy trying to keep autopilot on while Dante went to the bathroom, but having no luck, "Whoever's back there that can fly a plane, please come up here." Keith jumped up and slid Dante's headset on.

"What are you two doing up here?" Dante asked us.

"Flying." I snarled, "Now go sit down. That front looks nasty." I was meaning the bank of black clouds we were approaching, "Buckle up!" I shouted, pressing the button to light the sign up. I heard Cherub go flying as Keith switched to manual piloting and jerked the wheel to the right. I grabbed my wheel and started flicking buttons with one hand while Keith made the plane drop under the storm clouds. I saw the Organization HQ and flashed a thumbs up to Dante and the gang.

"I'm gonna fly the plane to a safe spot and shadow walk to wherever you guys are." I said, "Now get ready to jump." Dante patted my shoulder and left. I took over Keith's spot and kept the plane as level as possible to make it easier for everyone to jump. Cherub settled in my chair and Cherit went with Dante. I looked behind me and saw Keith trying to strap Anzia to him.

"What's wrong?"

"I have a minor problem."

"Oh yeah. Well, leave her on the plane. I can walk her there."

"But-"

"Shut up and jump. Anzia come up here."

"Okay." I felt the plane buck as Keith jumped off.

"Geez." Anzia said.

"I know about your problem."

"You do?"

"Yeah. I noticed how your left arm moves in time to your walking, but your right doesn't."

"Oh. It's that obvious?"

"Not really." I shrugged, "Only if you know what you're looking for." I shot a short smile at her and started talking to the nearest tower, "Private plane number five-seven-two-seven requesting permission to land."

"Private plane five-seven-two-seven we hear you, but we can't allow you to land. We have planes crowded around us like flies at a honey pot."

"I can fit. Trust me."

"You'll hurt someone."

"No I won't." I said, angling the plane, "I can fit." I slid easily between two jumbo jet wings and coasted to a stop just in front of the terminal, "See? I told you I could fit. Leave my plane alone, okay?"

"Uh, okay?" The guy went back to babbling to someone about mood rings and headbands and I jumped to the back of the plane, morphing to wolf in mid-step.

"Whoa." I heard Anzia say.

"Get on." I told her, dropping down low so she could climb on "Watch your head."

"Whoa." She repeated. I concentrated on opening a shadow rip and walked through I felt Anzia clutch my fur tighter and started looking around for the right picture. I found Dante and Keith staring at a wall as if they were expecting me and jumped at it, "Oh. My! GOD!" Anzia shrieked as I landed uncertainly. I felt Dante grab Anzia as she attempted to slide off of me and gave my body a shake. I changed to human and held my hands in front of me.

"Everfight." I snarled and felt my body accept the energy.

"You good? Not gonna collapse?" Keith was at my side in a flash, holding my arms as I stood up.

"No. I think I figured out how to not collapse after I shadow walk." I gasped, "Okay, let's do this." I stumbled and leaned against the wall, "Everfight." I felt adrenaline flood my veins as I smelled Suits coming.

"All right. Where are we headed?"

"This room." Zhalia said, motioning toward a door. The Suits came around the corner and I sank into a fighting pose before smelling a familiar scent from them.

"Talune-Louis! Holuna-Anna!" I stage-shouted and greeted the werewolves.

"Hey Soluna." Louis greeted me with a quick hug and nodded to Zhalia, "We knocked out all the Suits we met on our way here. No one will hear you breaking and entering."

"Great. And who are we trusting on this?"

"A pair of werewolves faithful to the one and only Mets." Anna said, "So you can trust us." I noticed how Anna gave Zhalia a glare, "Unlike some." I stepped between them, not wanting a fight to break out and followed Dante into the room. Zhalia sat at the desk and typed in a series of numbers and letters.

"Oi." I heard Louie say, "That's pretty amazing. You work for the Organization?"

"At one point yes. But not anymore."

"That's a relief. Organization know about this?"

"I don't think they do."

"Okay, how do we avoid the ones that are coming down the hall?"

"One of you two take over for me. Find that file. Download it onto this." Zhalia handed Louie a flash-drive and stood in front of the doorway. I helped Dante swing the door shut as my Gareon slipped out. I held Wolf Knight's amulet tight and glanced over at Louie. He was busy typing a series of numbers and probably letters, but I couldn't see his left hand from my vantage point. He made a soft noise of success and I heard him click a mouse several times and turned back to the door. I pressed an ear to the door and listened as several pairs of feet walked by. One pair stopped and I heard keys jingle and got ready to summon Wolf Knight and Canis Lotus. The feet continued on after sixteen jingles of the keys and I relaxed. More feet stopped and I heard talking. I could only get snippets of the conversation, but I figured out they were talking about coming in.

"Tell me you guys are done."

"Yes." Louis said, yanking the flash-drive out.

"Good. We're about to have guests."

"What? Hide it! Shut it down!" Anna raced to shut down the computer and Louis shoved the flash-drive into my hands.

"You're the fastest one of all of us. Anna will help you get everyone out and I'll distract them."

"I can only carry two." Anna said.

"Same here." I lied, sending a 'Shut-your-mouth' glare in Dante's and Keith's direction. Louis looked lost as he counted how many people we had.

"Hurry." He said, morphing into wolf as Anna and I dropped to all fours. I looked at Dante and Anzia.

"Dante, Anzia, get on." I said, "Keith, go with Zhalia."

"Okay."

"Dante?"

"Yeah, sis?"

"Hold on to Anzia tight. I'll explain why later. Anzia, I want you to hold onto my neck as tight as possible." I stepped up between Anna and Louis and helped them open a shadow rip. I stepped through first, looking for the plane. I found the inside of it and showed them which image it was. Anna and Louis jumped through and I thought I saw Reggie as I leapt through. Dante jumped off of me and helped Anzia as I collapsed. Anna pressed a hand to my forehead and looked at Louis. Anzia sat next to Keith and Anna looked at her.

"Can we borrow your jacket?" Anna asked. Anzia took her jacket off and I heard a few gasps as I fell asleep.

"Allegro. Wake up, sis."

"Mmnn, Go 'way." I waved at Dante. He sighed, and scooped me up and carried me off the plane. I felt him set me in a taxi and climb in next to me.

"Little too much to drink?"

"No. She's just a little tired from a quick run. Follow that cab." Dante said to the driver, "And quit asking questions."

"Okay." The driver turned around and started driving. Dante picked me up about ten minutes later and carried me in the house.

"Keith, you can crash on the couch. Anzia, I don't think Sophie would mind sharing her room."

"I'm going home." Sophie said.

"Oh. Well, Anzia can take Sophie's room." Dante said, "Go get some sleep guys. We'll need it for our next mission." I squeezed his hand as I went upstairs. I crashed onto my bed face-first, and fell asleep almost immediately.
