CROWSCHAPTER FIVE: RUN IN WITH OLD FRIENDS
Quinn parked in front of a hotel and handed the keys to the valet.
"Be nice to her she's my second love" she muttered
They went into the hotel.
"You must be the Crow team." A man said when they came to the desk
"What kind of question is that, do we look like tourists to you?" Tess said angrily
"You're going to have to forgive her, she's a little jet lagged." Tao said
"You have the two large suites near the top floor." He said handing the keys over.
"Oh Christ" Quinn muttered when they entered the elevator.
"So good to see you Major Quinn." Said a man grinning
"Long time no see Lao." She replied annoyed
"Now that I've found you I can keep the bounty." He replied thrusting a gun into her back.
"Hey if it weren't for me you wouldn't be where you are now." She snarled
"Quite right" he said putting the gun away
"But I wouldn't think you were safe from Interpol altogether." She said
Tao came up behind him and gave him a tranquilliser dart.
"Liam you better get Rogue to send an eraser over and take this guy in," she said
They entered their spacious suites.
"What a great view" Cross said
"You can see the stadium from here." Tess said
"No doubt we're gonna find Kai some where." Quinn thought looking around.
Quinn decided to go for a walk alone.
"Come on you can do better than that can't you?" a kid asked
"Sure I can" a smaller kid replied
Quinn stood in the shadows watching quietly and grinning at them.
"Now Quinn remember a blader knows no fear, a blader is never arrogant now matter how good they are, a blader respects their opponent no matter how evil." Came her fathers haunting words.
"A blader knows no fear, a blader is never arrogant, a blader holds respect," her young high pitched voice repeated when she was little.
"Hey do you wanna play miss?" asked a small boy
Quinn snapped out of her thoughts and grinned at the small kid.
"Sure, but you gotta promise you can't tell anyone about my blade." She said kindly
"Why?" her small opponent asked
"Because it's very special," she replied
"Okay shall we begin?" The boy asked
"Okay" she said releasing her blade
Quinn didn't release it as well as she could have even though she was still beating her small challenger.
"With practise you can be just as good as I am" Quinn said as her blade pushed her small opponents blade up on the lip of the bowl it flew out and kissed the gravel.
"You are pretty good." The boy said
"Thanks that's why I'm doing the qualifying tournament I'm gonna take on the Bladebreakers." Quinn said proudly
"They're my favourite team." He squeaked excitedly
"They seem to be everyone's favourite so I see." She replied
"I'm going to be watching all the matches I'll root for you when you fight them." The boy said
Quinn didn't know what to say.
"Thank you little one look at us we've battles and I don't know your name." She said
"It's Kit and you?" he asked
Quinn was about to give him her real name.
"San" she said quickly
"Then I wish you good luck San," the boy said before walking off.
"I was beginning to wonder when I would see you walk our streets again hero" came the voice of a young man behind her.
"Long" she replied
"So you've remembered," he grinned
"Of course you were my best friend through high school way back in Hong Kong." She smiled giving him a hug.
"Please call me Quinn," she added
"I still remember the day you saved me and I will keep calling you by the nickname I gave you" he replied
"So Hero how are your ninja skills," he asked
"What a thing to say a ninja is permanently improving their skills." She said brightly
"Anyway I'm not here to take part in an illegal fight, I'm here to blade in the tournament" she added
"So I hear yet you don't seem to fear our reigning champions the Bladebreakers." Long grinned
"You know I fear no one, they are human just like me why should I fear them?" Quinn said
"Still the same fear nothing love nothing I expect." Long said
"That's not true, I fear only for my friends why should I care what happens to me" she snapped turning from him.
"So you still care about those you left behind" he said
"How can I forget the old days" she grinned
"It was good seeing you again old friend." He grinned
"You too Long take care my friend and let us hope we meet again in the future." She said giving a hug goodbye.
"I can't do this I can't kill that kid" she thought
