Shalimar pointed at the truck speeding along the freeway beneath them.
"I see it," Brennan replied.
This part of the freeway was blocked off from the public due to bridge repairs. Brennan flew the Double Helix over the truck, and brought it down in front of the truck, blocking the road.
The driver slammed on the brakes. The truck jackknifed, coming to a halt centimetres before hitting the Helix.
"Who are these people?" the driver wondered incredulously.
"Freaks," the brown-haired man scowled.
"What I want to know is how they found out about us," the blond man stated. "Try to take one alive."
"You've got it, Boss."
The brunette, redhead, and Chinese man disembarked, guns in hand.
Shalimar and Brennan ran around the Helix, ready for action. When they spotted their quarry, the feral's eyes flashed yellow.
"They have guns," she said.
"That's not very nice," Brennan replied, charging up.
He took out the Chinese man first.
Shalimar dodged shots from the brunette and redhead. She rolled, then took the redhead down with a sweeping kick. Brennan knocked the gun out of the brunette's hand with a chop to the forearm. The brunette smacked his head on the pavement, and lost consciousness.
Brennan kicked the redhead in the chest. The redhead stumbled into Shalimar. She punched him in the side of the head, and he dropped to the pavement.
"I don't know who you people are, but you're going to tell me now or else I start shooting," the blond man ordered.
"Darril Coombs, I presume," Brennan stated.
"How do you know me?" Coombs demanded.
"We know everything about you, Coombs," Shalimar replied. "You're a popular guy."
Brennan and Shalimar locked eyes briefly. She got the message, and rolled out of the way at the same time as Brennan loosed an energy bolt on Coombs.
The perpetrator crumpled in pain. Shalimar kicked the gun under the truck.
"You got this?" she asked Brennan.
"You bet,"
"Great." She went to retrieve the driver.
"What…are you?"
"Special Ops," he answered, binding Coombs' hands.
Shalimar tossed the unconscious driver next to his companions. "The fool didn't even try to run."
"What are you going to do with me?" Coombs asked.
"Shal, Bren, the cops are on their way to you. ETA ten minute." Emma's voice came from their comrings.
Brennan grinned smugly at Coombs. "We're gonna leave you here for the cops."
"No, you can't!" he protested.
"Oh, worried about the warrants for your arrest posted in four countries?" Shalimar mock pouted.
Brennan opened the back of the truck. "Eureka," he muttered, pulling the lone crate toward him. "It's a heavy sucker."
Shalimar helped him carry it in to the Double Helix. They lifted off the ground just as the sounds of sirens began to carry up the freeway.
