The marine building was quiet all around the house as the team, except for two, slept soundly in their beds. Axle was on his back when a light flashed at the bottom of his second story window. He grimaced and sat up in bed while rubbing his eyes and yawning. Down below on the first floor (the garage and vehicle testing arena) he heard the rumble of an engine and it cut off.
"Who would be up at this time of night?" he said swinging his legs over the side and looking at the clock on the wall. Its' slow ticking clicked as another minute rolled by making it 1:15 in the morning. Curious he stepped across the short carpet, opened his door and walked into the common room. He stood there in the emptiness with a white undershirt and boxers. King came up beside him to his right dragging his feet, wearing a white shirt and pants. Hawk came next after hearing the engine and shut of the garage door.
"What's going on?" hawk asked raising his arms stretching.
He was wearing a long sleeve shirt and pants in a silk type material, both king and Axle looked at him with a funny eye.
"What?" he questioned as if he was doing something wrong shrugging his shoulders.
There was a light hum and they looked across the room towards the elevator.
"Someone's coming," Axle said at a whisper keeping his eyes on the door.
There was a ping and the dim light of the elevator appeared at the bottom of the door. The three just stood looking and waiting when the two doors pulled apart and reviled who or what was inside of it.
"Lioness!" Axle said running towards the elevator at a full sprint followed by king and hawk. They jumped over the couch and approached her but when they all got close they froze in place with dropped jaws. Lioness struggled out of the elevator holding a bruised and broken shark around the stomach and with his arm over her shoulder.
"What-what-how-this-," hawk fumbled as he gazed at shark.
Shark was obviously knocked out with his head bending over. His suit was ripped and torn with burned marks over his legs and upper body, not to mention he was absolutely soaking wet.
"Don't just stand there," lioness said trying to get a better grip on shark who started to slip off of her, "help me!"
"Tell us what's going on first!" king said utterly shocked so his common sense was not working, like wise with Axle and hawk.
They moved out of her way as she headed across the room.
"no time, call the ambulance," she said.
Hawk went forward and grabbed the cordless punching the numbers while gazing upon sharks bruised form shocked for he thought he would never see him again.
