Chapter 5
"EEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ames' shrill scream cut through the air.
Darien and Rei both bolted out of their rooms, guns drawn and ready for action. Zack smiled weakly at the now absolutely frazzled Ames, who was clutching her heart like it might fall out and had the other hand covering her eyes.
Zack walked over towards Ames and pulled her towards Darien and Rei.
"Don't mind them. They have too much fun anyhow." Zack casually pointed into the room where two people were having a damned good time in each other's company. (Nope definitely not what you hentai people think, this is still G-Rated!!!) He picked up the clothes on the floor and threw it at the couple.
"Put some clothes on and stop playing strip poker!! There were only two of you in this compound!!!" Zack slammed the door with a resounding thud.
Darien and Rei glanced backwards at Ames, only to find she had already retreated into another room just two doors down.
"Zack you are such a bore!" the woman from the room strolled out, only having to put on a sock or two.
"And you were winning." Zack pointed out, grinning. "You know it's not fair to play strip poker with him. You win every time."
"Yeah, so? It's funny. The perv gets excited over nothing and I get some entertainment from this fortress you stuck me in." the woman replied cheerfully. "Anywho, just how long are you planning on keeping me in the jailhouse? I have a job that I need to get back to."
"I'm not quite sure anymore." Zack said shooting a look back at Darien and Rei peeking into Serena's room.
"Alright alright, well I'm going for lights out then. Later" she waved faintly her back already turned, heading for a room next to the armory.
Yawning the man emerged, still half unclothed (his pants are on ladies and gentlemen.
"Zack, why do you ruin my fun?"
"Because I can. We have some new guests here. Say hello to Darien and Rei." Zack motioned towards the startled siblings.
"Serena brought them in with her, apparently they've been set up like a few others."
"Same place and phony info?" sighed the dirty blond man.
"From what I gather, yea" Zack trudged over to another room and opened the door.
"Get some sleep, I think we're going to have to get cracking tomorrow Allen."
"Alright...hey, were's Serena?" Allen questioned while streching his arms out.
Zack merely pointed towards the room and closed his door. He sighed heavily and let himself slide towards the ground. 'Too much work, too many surprises, I need a new night job' Zack though wearily as he kicked off his shoes and yanked the tie that was holding his chin length hair back.
"Hey Serena?" Rei said, peaking into the room. "I know you probably can't hear me, but for what it's worth...Thanks."
"Hey sis! Get to sleep! I don't know about you but today was waay too tiring for me!" Darien hissed through his open door.
"Then close your door moron!" Rei bit back.
"Now children, there is always a time and place to argue, but for now you'd have to take it to the training room," Allen butted in wrapping an arm around Rei.
Rei shrugged the arm off but glanced around.
"Is it sound-proof?"
"Isn't everything?" Allen replied.
"SHUT UP! GUESS WHAT TIME IT IS? TIME TO SLEEP YOU FOOLS!" Darien yelled finally at the end of his rope.
"All right, all right already... I'll just have a private conversation with your sister." Allen grinned before pounding the lock on Darien's door and leading Rei into her room.
"You better not-" Darien was cut off by his wonderfullly sound-proof door.
Rei kicked Allen in the shins in an effort to get away from him but he held on.
"Geez, I can't even have a good joke now?" Allen finally let go.
"NO!" Rei said acerbically as she spun on her heel and entered her room.
"Man, you guys are no fun!" Allen complained as Rei's door slid shut.
Dispite his 'hurt' demenor he strode proudly to his claimed room and slid in. 'Another boring night in the cage...' he thought as he closed his eyes.
'Hmm... Now this is an interesting situation. I'm stuck in some weird woman's facility, run by a mechanic that is frequented by a pervert and a probably very smart or aggressive girl. AND all people that Ames knows quite well...' Darien thought as his eyes searched the ceiling for any cameras.
'Wait a minute... That pervert said they were going to have a private conversation in Rei's ROOM... SON OF A BTCH' Darien sat up quickly and bolted towards the door.
The door slid open automatically closed almost silently as he skidded to a stop infront of Rei's door.
'Err... Shouldn't I be barging in there?' Darien thought as he stared at the door.
'But what if err.. they're umm...' he debated.
Just as silently as he argued with himself, someone had crept up on him.
"What the hell are you doing?" a hoarse voice rasped as a hand clamped over Darien's shoulder.
"What the fck?" Darien said startled and whirled around.
"you ss-munch go to sleep." Serena said still leaning on Darien's shoulder heavily.
"Aren't you supposed to be out for what was it... oh let's say two days??!?!?!" Darien remarked his heart pounding through his shirt.
"It's called built up immunity, you know genius like vaccinations?" Serana remarked with heavy sarcasm.
Darien still stood staring at Serena with his mouth agape.
"Now if you don't have anything to do but stare, help me to the kitchen, I'm thirsty."
After enduring another few seconds of Darien staring at her, she squared her shoulders and fixed her posture.
"Hey you!" Serena shouted.
"Oh, right" Darien said absentmindedly and started walking in no particular direction.
After walking in a few large circles in the complex Serena sighed and pointed towards a wall.
"Cool" Darien said, not entirely relieved to have actually found the damned kitchen.
Serena let go of Darien's should momentarily to punch in yet another code on a small keypad that only appeared when Serena pressed her palm to the wall.
"Didn't Zack give you guys a grand tour?" Serena rasped out as she entered the kitchen.
"Err... not really" Darien responded, not sure if the brief what's where constituted as a tour.
Darien too a quick glance around the kitchen and was startled to see it look just as cold and impersonal as the rest of the complex.
Serena pulled out a glass cup from the cupboard and stalked over to the refridgerator.
Deciding it was going to take a while, Darien sat down on what he thought was a seat but was startled to find it really wasn't.
THUMP
"What the hell?" Darien cried as he fell through the chair and struggled to stand up.
"Hhahahahaah" Serena's hoarse laughter and spray of water brought Darien's gaze back to her.
"Interesting isn't it? You really can't tell what's real and what isn't in my place. I'm guessing you really haven't trained too much with identifying holograms and traps."
"Well I'm not really guarding myself against traps in a 'safe house'." Darien replied sarcastically while pulling himself off the ground.
"There always there when you least expect it." Another voice sounded from the doorway.
Turning towards Serena, the brunette from earlier remarked, "Are you sure he's an assasin? His cover sucks and he's got bad eyes."
"Quite." Darien replied, dusting off his pants.
"How's it going?" Serena coughed out amidst her laughter.
"Just peachy, I love being holed up here for days at a time, purely because you haven't finished a job we needed done," the brunette replied, bitterness evident.
"Hey, hey, I don't know what's going on, but I finished your job yesterday. You should've checked the status reports sooner," Serena said sipping her water.
The brunette's brows snapped together quickly as she glared at Serena.
"You sure?"
"Positive Lita, unless our favorite hacker isn't pulling his end of the line," Serena said glaring back.
"Stop that," Serena said looking out of the corner of her eye.
"Heh..." Darien said weakly as he straightened up from his position.
Lita, still scowling, drew her gaze to Darien steadily and almost laughed at what he was doing. To insure the safety of his butt not having another rendevous with the ground he was swiping his hands through each chair.
"I'll take your word for it and check up on it tomorrow, but 'til then I'm going to get some training in..." Lita said as she stalked off.
"Hmmm..." Darien hummed aloud as he watched her march to the simulation room. He faintly heard a sound in the backgroud that was demanding his attention but chose to disregard it witha wave of his hand.
Serena frowned at the thought of this guest waving her off like some groupie and decided that he needed damned good lesson in payment for his stay.
Still frowning Serena reached up for the collar of his shirt and dragged his head down to eyelevel.
"You know, I'm starting to rethink letting you stay here."
"wha?" Darien said startled out of his thoughts and brought to eyelevel with a set of burning blue eyes that were glaring at him accusingly. "Err... sorry, what did you say?"
Serena rolled here eyes and straightened her posture.
"I.Do.Not.Like.You.Staying.Here.You.Little.Son.Of.A.Biatch" Serena said pointedly, accenting every word with an aggressive finger to his chest.
"It's not like I wanted to be here either!" Darien said defensively.
Serena sighed wearily and took another gulp of water before continuing with her conversation with the daydreamer infront of her.
"I asked you if you could help me back to my rooms, but apparently you are too slow to process that statement throughly. Perhaps that could've been because you were too busy staring at Lita's ass, you man-whore."
"I believe I'm supposed to be offended, but then again... you are on a lot of medication right now, so I'll just pretend that I didn't hear anything." Darien smirked into her still fierce scowl and piercing glare.
Serena huffed and slammed her glass down on the table and started marching towards her room.
'Damn prick, I should kick his ass out on the curb. I'd keep his sister here though, she seems like a nice girl, unlike this womanizer'
'eh... she's not supposed to be doing that yet... I'm almost sure of it...' Darien thought and grinned.
I suppose this is as long as I can write a chapter before going brain dead. I hope ya'll are having a good summer. Sorry this isn't really in time for any particular holiday. I'll be updating the other stories soon, just hold your horses.
