Sergei's POV
After a short moment where they get all their stuffs back,Sergei,William and Dylan hide behind the wall while two guards talk to each other.
" Weren't there three women in the locker room. "
" Yes why ? "
" 'Cause I only heard two shots. Should we go to check ? "
" Yes but discreetly. The boss doesn't like snooping. "
Sergei leads his fellow partners against the corner of the wall to avoid the enemies' sight. They success while both men head carelessly to the locker room.
" Let's hurry before the alarm is triggered. " Will orders.
" And what about John ? " Sergei asks.
" He'll be alright. He's a good man. " Dylan responds,despite she has barely known him.
The trio hides behind a barrier before to walk along it. Then Will spots a guard walking in the middle of the field.
" What were they thinking,sending only one man to the middle ?! " William silently chuckles.
" Quiet. They may hear us. " Dylan scoffs.
" Guys. We're gonna pass by the last floor. If we try the main exit,they'll get us for sure. So follow me and don't do anything stupid. "
Suddenly the two men from earlier come back quickly. Sergei and Co. fastly hide behind any chairs they find. The enemies go to see their comrades and warn them.
" Jack ! They got the boss and Spike. And... And they killed Lenny. "
" Lenny ?! Fuck... Not him. "
" We have to find them and gut them like the pigs they are ! " And everyone leaves the area.
" Looks like we're gonna have a nice present if they catch us. " Will jokingly comments.
" Follow me. " Sergei adds.
The trio heads to the last floor then reaches the private room for VIPs.
" Will,can you do it ? "
" I could do this a hundred times ! " He answers before to get to work.
Davenport searches his pockets... but remembers something.
" I don't have clips anymore. FUCK ! " He smashes the window with his fist. Hopefully it is unbreakable but it has made a huge noise.
" Calm down ! They are not far,asshole. " Dylan meanly reprimands William.
" Sorry but that was the only thing I used to open the doors. "
" Don't worry. " Sergei searches his pocket and reveals... one of the broken hair clips he managed to steal.
" Thanks. I can do this with only one. Watch this. " Will grabs also his active knife. He picks the lock with a lot of patience.
" Are you sure he'll get that open ? " Dylan questions the european colleague,doubtful.
" Yes. I can see it. He's born a thief. That's in his blood... "
" I prefer not that anyone mentions my past except me please. I ain't much proud of it. "
" Anyway... It takes time but he'll get it open... "
" Got it ! " Just as Sergei finishes his sentence,Davey announces to the group his success. He opens the door and lets his guests enter first before to close the door behind him. They arrive in the VIP room,so that celebrities can watch the matches from a better view. William sticks his head against the window and stares at the huge field in the middle of the stadium. He stays there,amazed by this creation. Meanwhile Dylan stares mysteriously at him,as if she was analyzing him. She seems to feel relaxed when looking at William.
Sergei grabs a chair and throws it at the window. It doesn't break eventually. The chair rolls to his feet.
" That doesn't break. I will use my knife to get it open. " He takes out his signature knife and opens pretty easily the door. Then he gets to the balcony and uses the rope he was keeping with him to do a rappel.
Everyone slides down the rope until to the ground. Then,when arrived,Sergei "accidentally" falls onto a guard of the stadium. After getting up quickly,the veteran knocks him out with one single punch to the face. Then he sees the rest of the team following him. Then all of a sudden,Johnny comes out... driving a family car. Everyone gets inside.
" So... How did you make it ? " John asks.
" Oh... Nothing surnatural : we just headed to the top and fell back down. Simple. " Sergei responds shortly.
" And you ? What did you do ? " Will questions,interested by his adventure.
" After I tied the two fuckers,I quickly ran away. I headed to the main entrance safely then headed to the parking. I managed to steal that car after knocking a guard off. Now here I am. Can we get out ? "
" Sure. "
The group leaves this stadium.
4 : 59 AM
As John was nearly arrived at the hotel,Dylan orders to stop the car.
Johnny obeys and stops it. Then she gets out and leaves the area. William gets out too and calls her out.
" It's here where we go each one on our path. " Dylan tries to get rid of them.
" But you can't just go. We need you with us. "
" Trust me,if you got the good people,you don't need specially me. "
" Think about us. Think about all the adventures we could live. "
" I prefer to go alone. Groups are cancers for me. I have to get away from it as possible. "
" Please,Dylan. How can I change of mind ? "
" I know : don't. " After this,the woman puts her mask on and leaves the place. John lies his hand on Will's shoulder.
" Don't worry. If she says she doesn't want a group,she may know how to defend herself. I'm sure she'll be okay. "
" If you say so. " Will reacts sadly before to get inside.
Sergei stays a moment,sitting on the hood of the car and looking at the shiny dawn. He decides to take out... the picture of his cat. He takes time to look at it,without dropping tears. Then he looks again at the sky.
" You know,Mikhail... It's today your birthday. I wish you were still there so that we could look at the skies together while I feed you with some food. But the destiny prefered to ruin my life. Again. Happy birthday,pal ! " Then he puts the photo back inside his jacket before to join the others inside.
