I watched Joey as he paced across the hallway. The night had many things in store for us. First, we quit, secondly Taylor was shot and killed, and finally we had an attack on ourselves and our families. Tea was staring at me with a glare; she wanted the truth. Mai was in the examining room and Serenity had her face buried in her hands. I glanced at Mokuba, who was sitting silently at my side. He had not said a word since the explosion. I too had been relatively soundless, only speaking when Joey addressed me.
"Seto?" the pacing blonde asked.
"Yeah?"
"I think we should get outta here."
"What about them?" I asked, pointing to the other occupants of the room. "What will they do? He's sure to strike again. He'll know that the bomb didn't whack us."
"That's my point, if we get the hell away from here, they'll be in less danger."
"NO they won't! They'll be in MORE danger because we won't be able to protect them? Don't you get it?! We can't leave them here now! Where we go, they go."
he fell quiet. I was right and he knew it.
"What are we supposed to do?" he asked.
"Run. Run far away."
Mai exited the examining room to find us arguing. We both looked at her before she silently nodded. She had heard, and was willing to make the sacrifice. I looked at Mokuba who nodded as well before grabbing Tea's arm, and pulling her away. The others were right on my heel we darted down the steps and out of the hospital. Yugi was walking with his grandfather when Joey snatched his arm as well, pulling him in the opposite direction. The small boy didn't struggle, but looked from Joey to me in confusion. I shook my head, signaling that it was not something that he wanted to question just yet. My number one goal was to get us to my mansion, and get out of this damned city in one piece.
Tea's car was a pink Honda Civic, nothing that could fit seven people into it. We had no other choice but to squeeze everyone in.
"We're not fitting everyone in my car!" Tea cried. "We'll get pulled over!"
"We have no other options so get in!" I responded.
She appeared doubtful, but scrunched herself into the back seat. Mai and Serenity took the other two seats while Mokuba and Yugi sat on their laps. I could barely see out the back window as I back the car out of the parking space and threw it into drive. Joey was grasping onto the door as I took the corner at fifty, and proceeded to speed down the highway.
"We should stop and pick up my car," Mai suggested. "It's really cramped back here!"
"There's no time, Mai. We have ta get outta da city as soon as possible!" Joey replied.
"So we're going to drive like this for a while?!?" Tea asked. "That's dangerous."
"We're going to the mansion first. Joey and I need to pick up a few things, which includes a SUV. This thing's too easy to track."
"What do you mean by that?" Tea asked.
"Who else do you know that has a fucking pink car?"
"I like pink!"
"It's a gay color."
"No sex for you then!!!!"
"My brother's in the car!!!!!!!!!"
"You think I can't hear?" Mokuba asked.
Tea blushed, and fell silent. I stared at the road ahead with my hands gripping the steering wheel tightly. We pulled into the driveway shortly after four AM. Joey and I were the first to escape the car, and we assisted the others in getting out before running into house. I stormed into the ballroom with Joey trotting closely behind. He watched intently as I removed a panel from the wall, and pressed my hand against it, allowing the scanner to identify me. After a few seconds, four additional panels removed themselves, revealing approximately forty guns. Joey stared around at them in awe before selecting two handguns. I also chose a pair of guns for myself, but picked three others for Mai, Serenity, and Mokuba. Tea and Yugi wouldn't have the stomach to fire at anyone, even if they were attacking them.
The group was watching apprehensively. I tossed everyone a gun except for Tea and Yugi before motioning for them to follow me. Joey led the way to the garage. He grabbed a set of keys off of the key rack and proceeded to a black Explorer. Mokuba got the third seating row in place while joey and I got any extra ammo that we would need, which included a few grenades and machine guns. We climbed into the front seats, Joey in the passengers and I in the driver's. The doors opened, and I eased the vehicle out of the doors. We had just turned out of the driveway when I saw headlights in the rear-view mirror.
"Joey? Do you see that?" I asked.
He looked behind us, and his face paled.
"Oh shit! Mokuba, Yugi climb into the second row now! Mai, watch out, I'm comin back!" he barked as he climbed over the seats.
I kept a close eye on the car as it got closer and closer to our tail.
"I'm ready when yah are, Seto!" he called.
I kept watching the car. It seemed harmless enough, until I saw the silhouette of a man carrying a gun leaning out of the window. I quickly popped the glass part of the back, allowing Joey to get a clear shot. One shot was fired, but it missed us. I heard Joey's semi-automatic fire off two shots, which both busted glass.
"I got da shooter, but I pissed da driver off," he said.
I floored the car and was soon zooming past everything. Up ahead, a Mercedes Benz blocked my exit route, forcing me to turn down an alley way. There two more gunmen awaited us, and began firing immediately. I threw the car into reverse. Joey aimed his gun again, firing shots out the back window at the original assailant. I rammed into the car, and did a U-turn heading my original direction. The blockade was still there, causing me to screech to a stop. Both occupants of the car pulled out silencers and got out of the car. I heard Joey fire more shots out the back until his chamber was empty.
"Man, yah gotta go! Ram those mother fuckers!" he cried, desperately trying to reload.
I floored the car, charging straight at them. The assassins jumped out of the way, leaving me clear ram of the Mercedes. The car crunched easily as I drove over it, revealing a long stretch of highway. My breathing slowed down as we drove further.
"You guys okay?" I asked.
"Yeah, Seto, we're fine. Jesus fuck this goin ta be a whole shit load harder than we thought," Joey replied.
"Why are all of those men chasing you? And why do you have guns?" Tea asked.
I glanced at Joey. He heard Mai and the others grunt in agreement. I nodded at him before glaring at the road again.
"It's pretty simple. Seto and I are assassins."

Tornado: Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun!
DT: She's hyper.
Tornado: Shut up! Was this a good enough action scene? There's going to be plenty more where that came from. The next chapter's going to be kind of boring.
DT: But we'll try to make it interesting.
Tornado: R&R.
