Chapter 13: Escape Into The Night

You have the right to remain silent.

He glared daggers at the blonde agent and reached down to hold his leg. Fuck you bitch.

Obviously you waive that right. Anything you say, can and will be used against you in a court of law. She lowered her gun for a moment to pull out a pair of handcuffs, when the doctor reached past his leg and into his boot pulling a throwing knife out; throwing it at Haruka it embedded itself in her right shoulder just shy of the kevlar vest. Letting out a pain filled scream the doctor used her momentary weakness and lunged at the agent. A faint tinkle on the cold concrete was heard before the two crashed into the ground. Dr. Markusson wrenched the knife out of her shoulder and was ready to deliver a fatal blow, but Haruka jabbed at his face scattering his senses. The knife fell to the ground with a loud clang when the doctor wrapped his bloodied hands around the blonde's neck, clenching with whatever strength he had left.

***

Hello! Are you going to get her anytime soon!? Riva questioned, smacking Cloud across the backside of her head. You can't just leave her there!

Why can't you get her!? The blonde retorted.

Riva sighed, You're the *man* here ... now go and be a hero! I'll cover you!

Hahaha ... like I trust you! You're aim is worse than a blind man's.

***

Haruka struggled against the doctor, but could feel her oxygen levels depleting quickly. Something shining in the light caught her eye - the syringe he was going to use on her. Reaching her arm out, it was mere millimeters away from grasp.

***

Excuse me!? I resent that!

Oh please, you know I'm right! Cloud scoffed, crossing her arms in triumph.

Tch, just because I said I was going to cover you, doesn't necessarily mean with my gun.

What else could you do!?

She pulled out a small remote control and pressed a red button: seconds later there was a loud explosion followed by complete darkness.

Cloud sighed and dashed out to get the fallen agent, Ok, so that'll work too. she grumbled under her breath. Let's get back to the car!

***

Haruka could feel death coming closer to her, but she refused to give into the inevitable. Just as the explosion hit - causing multiple rumbles in the ground - the needle rolled into her fingers. She wrapped her hand around it and swung it upwards hitting the doctor in the neck, quickly emptying the syringe of its contents into his blood stream. He gasped and let go of her neck and clutched his own - the blonde quickly coughed as her lungs filled with air again.



She groaned in response, her vision still a little hazy.

Someone pulled her to her feet and smacked her face a few times bringing her to her senses. Let's get out of here! She then realized that it was Cloud and Riva, and softly stammered out, M ... Mich ... Of course we got her! Let's go!

***

While it did take some time, they managed to trace their way out of the building. It wouldn't have taken so bloody long if we could've just gone out the window! Riva glared at Cloud, who was carrying Agent Kaioh.

I think we've spent enough time free falling for the night thank you very much!

Haruka sighed and leaned against a tree checking her shoulder to see if it was still bleeding. Will you guys just shut up already?!
