"Is anyone else in there?" 'Midnight Sky' glanced down at me suavely. If it wasn't for the fact that the real Midnight Sky was on the other side of the door with a knock-out gun, I would be sure that this stranger was real.
"Nope." I lied easily, opening the door.
I heard the release of the trigger and Midnight's eyes bulged slightly as the knockout dark hit the main vein on his neck. He was out cold before he even began falling.
I caught him and dragged him into the cabin. I glanced out the door quickly, to make sure no one had seen what just happened. Coast is clear.
"Take him to the holding cell Cannon. Where Midnight Sky used to be." I looked around at the two of them. "And remember, Chief is going to be here in four hours. We just have to hold on till then."
Cannon chewed his bottom lip, the only sign on his impassive face that something was making him nervous.
"What do we do..." He looked between me and Midnight Sky. "If one of us is caught?"
Midnight checked the ammo on his gun and snapped the bullet noisly. "We keep going. It's bigger then a few of us."
"What do you mean keep going?" I asked sharply. "We risked it all for you."
"And I'm very greatful, but you and I both know that we can't risk the life of one person for the chance to save the world."
I bit back the tangle I wanted to throw at Midnight and glanced at Cannon, but he was checking the ammo of his gun again.
"All right. Replace him. Midnight Sky, come on, if anyone asks, just say you suspect me and have to stick to me like glue all right?"
"Right-o Beautiful."
