Alex was kicking and trying to roll over. When Litha shot Reymundo, he made a grab for Alex's hair and toppled her chair over on top of him. Darrin pulled out a knife and lickety-split slit the ropes tying them all to their chairs. After switching her guns from one hand to the other, Litha reached down and offered her free hand to Alex. She looked up for a moment before taking it and standing up.
"You know Alex," Litha purred with a hint of a giggle... "I'm getting tired of saving your life." She winked as she gripped both guns again in each hand and turned to Frank.
Frank just looked at her. In the slight struggle, his shirt had been pulled away from his neck and everyone there could see the few hickeys she'd left on his neck and chest, as well as the two or three bite marks peeking out. Alex looked about on the verge of killing someone and Jake was gathering up the rest of the guns. Litha still had her guns in each hand as she looked at Frank. Without warning, she threw her arms around Frank's neck and stretched up on tiptoe to kiss him full on the mouth.
Alex and Jake automatically ducked as both pistols went slinging around Donovan's neck, then looked on in stunned silence while Darrin just smiled. Frank's initial reaction was stunned shock too, but he recovered and slid his arms around her chest, crushing her to him as he returned the kiss desperately and fiercely.
It wasn't until Jake cleared his throat that they broke apart. They weren't sure what had just happened, but it felt good whatever it was. "Glad to see the two of you finally making up... or out... but I would suggest we get the hell out of here."
"Amen Jake. Everyone ready to get the flock out of Dodge?"
Alex took the offered gun, then turned to follow Litha's friend out.
"We'll have to get to the plane. The strip is under Geraldo's guards as a private landing field. The pilots are still there and the planes are ready to go. Problem is this, we're in a house full of private guards that work for Geraldo. He's still no where to be seen and by now little wifey-poo is waking her ass up. We're gonna have to run and shoot."
No sooner had they stuck their heads out of the door, gunfire shoved them back in. Jake had stuck his head out to see if the coast was clear. He came tripping back and into Alex's lap.
"Shhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit we're pinned in." Jake scrambled up and brushed himself off. Poor Alex was looking like she needed to sleep for the next year.
"Easy Jake." Frank put a hand on his shoulder. Trips internationally hadn't been pleasant for Jake. First Columbia, now this. Each trip he took wound up in a shoot-out.
Litha frowned. She knew that they were going to have to shoot their way out of the house, but this seemed odd. They were waiting for them... which meant that someone had to have orchestrated the little get-together in the room earlier...
"Where was Geraldo this morning?"
No one seemed to have the answer to that. Which prompted Litha to frown even harder. Geraldo had to be out there. If he and Reymundo worked this out, then they set up the entire morning... It all fit so nicely. Alessandra takes Alex and Litha out riding and plays dumb while Geraldo puts the plan into motion. Jake is the first one taken, followed soon by Frank, then Alex. Alessandra brings Litha into the room and then everything dawns on the 'unsuspecting' Federal Agents right before a bullet is put into their heads.
Frank could see the wheels turning in her head. Darrin was watching her also, as if waiting on a cue or an order...
Litha leaned back against the wall and lightly banged the back of her head in thought. This was going to get nasty... "let the world be the world..." the words came out as a whisper as she checked the first gun, then the second. "let the dream unfurl, let it run its own game"
Darrin's eyes narrowed slightly. She was certifiably insane. He dropped his bag to the ground and ripped it open. "Dammit Litha, I didn't bring a vest for you and everyone else!"
" 'let it dance with itself...' It's alright Darrin. Just keep it real." She winked at Frank as Darrin pulled out a pair of little white cubes.
"SHIT!" was all Alex gritted out as Darrin started molding the first cube of putty like substance to the center hinge of the door. Litha herded Jake and Alex against the wall of the door. Darrin molded the second cube to the door handle as she did. The blast would spray backwards and if they were out of the line of the blast then they had a chance. Frank was goin to shake that woman out of her fillings. Darrin finished his task and joined the group.
"I didn't put it here, gonna let it ride.." Litha pushed Frank between herself and the wall as she and Darrin both leveled their guns at the door. "gotta master crazy on the other side..." They both squeezed the triggers at the same time, Darrin putting himself between Litha and the C-4 explosive.
A deafening explosion ripped the door off it's hinges. The door itself blew out and took out the two men in front of it. The silence on the other side of the door spurred Darrin and Litha into action.
"MOVE MOVE MOVE!!!" Darrin was first out, followed by Jake, then Alex. Frank pushed Litha out of the door in front of him. Just as soon as the men outside recovered their wits, they began firing at the moving targets. Everyone took cover behind the furniture, guns held at the ready.
"Great. We go from the room to the couch in 3 seconds. Are we fast or what? Now how the hell do we get out of here Litha?" Alex was fuming even as Jake was trying to squeeze off a few shots.
Litha wasn't happy either. This wasn't the sort of situation she liked to deal with. "You know Alex, mouth off to me one more time and I swear to god I'll knock you on your ass. You think I WANT to be in this mess? I'm trying the best I can to get everyone out and in one piece, so kindly do me a favor and shut the hell up!"
Alex's eyes got wide and Frank's hand grabbed Litha, dragging her over. "Not that I'm trying to tell you how to run an ops, Lillith, but don't talk to one of my agents like that again."
Darrin turned and aimed his pistol at Frank. "Let her go Donovan. You don't have the first clue here."
This time it was Litha who pushed back. "Darrin! Enough! Jesus this is why I refuse to run Black Ops missions." She sighed and thought about it.
Frank and Jake looked at each other. Black Ops? Since when was Litha in Black?
"Alright, Darrin, cover the left. Jake... JAKE pay attention, cover the right. Alex you get to cover behind us. Frank, on the count of three we see if we can get as many as possible."
On the count of three, all five of them popped up and took fire. Immediately four of the guards dropped, followed soon after by another three. When the gunfire ceased for the moment, Litha pushed Alex and Jake off towards the hallway leading out to the garage.
"Jake, get the limo ready." He nodded and took off running. "Darrin, cover us until we can get to a safe spot." When Darrin popped up again, she pushed Frank off of the floor, following behind him as cover. They both hit the wall and slid back down to the floor.
"Since when do you run in Black?" he hissed as a gunshot hit the plaster over his head.
Litha ejected both clips from her Eagles and reloaded them. "Since I left you and had a baby. I'll answer any and all questions once we get back onto the plane and safely in the sky."
