A/N: WARNING! Violence! Really, at this point your should expect it..
Kageyama's POV
He sat in silence as members of the Dahlia began preparing themselves in any way possible. In the kitchen Nishinoya was comforting Asahi who looked about ready to vomit, while the sworn Yakuza members of the group congregated near one of the two bedrooms. Kageyama watched as Ukai began checking their weapons, and Saeko passed out ammunition from her hidden stash. Tanaka, Daichi and Sugawara began securing the spare ammo to holsters which they had pulled on over their shirts. They were complicated looking rigs that crossed their backs with an X, the guns sitting snug on the ribcage under their arms. Of everyone there, there were only six members of the Yakuza. The three youngsters, plus Saeko, Ukai, and Takinoue. Ukai and Taninoue had brought their own weapons with them, and were ready to go. Tsukishima quietly approached the group, looking stern.
"I know I'm not sworn or anything, but there is no way I'm walking in there unarmed." The Lanky blonde stated, crossing his arms.
"Kid, I don't want to hand you a gun if you don't know how to use it." Ukai stated simply, not even looking at Tsukishima as he checked his own weapon before holstering it.
"So what, we're just going to walk in, act as cannon fodder?"
Ukai looked genuinely offended; "Tsukishima-kun, in what world could you possibly imagine me sending you into the heat of this unarmed?" He straightened, his handgun now secure in his shoulder rig, "Every person who will be accompanying us into combat will be armed with a blade, and paired with someone with a gun. Those of us with ballistics will act as cover, and guard, while those of you with knives will be in charge of navigation, communication and retrieval." Ukai spoke loud enough this time for everyone to hear. Tsukishima looked at his feet, a scowl covering his face. "Listen, I know a lot of you are scared-" He paused, and reworded his statement after receiving Tsukki's glare, "or a bit nervous… but we aren't sending anyone in there without a plan."
A shadow blocked a portion of natural daylight as a large man stood in the doorway, his hair grazing the frame. "Gettin' started with out us, oh?" All eyes turned to the newcomer, a smug looking man with his shoulders slouched, and hands in his pockets. Half hidden behind his tall frame was a shorter man with a soft looking face and outgrown bleached hair. His eyes were down, attention engrossed in a handheld tablet of some sort.
"Kuroo-san, why are you-" Tsukishima began, but was cut off when Ukai strode forward, extending his hand to shake. The taller man dubbed Kuroo met the man in the middle as they clasped forearms.
"Figured the old man would send you two." Ukai mused, looking down at the petite tech wizard, "Kenma-kun, where would you like to set up?"
Gold eyes flicked away from the tablet to slowly drift around the room. His gaze settled on a corner of the main living space that had an outlet and a lamp. He extended his finger to the spot, and mumbled, "That should be fine."
The Tanaka siblings got to work immediately, bringing a collapsible desk from Ryuu's room along with a chair to set up in the corner. They also dug out a number of extension cords, and outlet extenders so Kenma could have multiple electronics plugged in. Kageyama mentally noted how smoothly this all went, they'd probably worked together with this Kenma guy before. Kageyama had met the two men before, but never really spoke to them. Kuroo was often seen hanging around Tsukishima, and Kenma was usually acting as the taller man's shadow.
The quieter man stepped out from behind Kuroo and shrugged off a backpack that looked to be nearly as big as he was, or at least as heavy. He lowered it carefully to the floor, and began to unpack two laptops and a series of electronics that Kageyama couldn't even attempt to identify. They had lots of small lights and dials on them, and one even had a screen that reminded him of an old radar. Kuroo lowered his own pack and pulled out an entire radio set, complete with discreet earpieces, and lightweight battery packs.
It took about an hour for the two men to set everything up, but when they were done, they'd turned the corner of the living space into a tech junkie's wet dream. Kenma sat at the helm of the computer system, headphones dwarfing his small crown, while Kuroo an Sugawara tested the radios and earpieces.
Kageyama was growing impatient. He tapped his index finger restlessly on the floor next to him as he observed everyone. He felt pretty useless, not having any idea how to use the tech, or any knowledge in firearms. He had to wait to be tasked with something from Ukai.
"Ukai-Sama…" Kuroo suddenly called out, scowling at his phone. The blonde Yakuza Lieutenant approached the tall younger man, "Nekomata-sama sent three of our comrades out into the field as a preemptive scouting party- two have reported back, but we haven't been able to connect with the third."
Ukai scowled, tapping his chin. "Where were your comrades located?"
"Nobuyuki-san took the northern warehouse district, Taketora-kun tailed the pigs you sent to disturb Igarashi, and Yaku took the docks. It's Yaku-san we can't get a hold of." Kuroo stated, his expression and voice flat, which only made it more obvious to Kageyama that he was trying to hide his worry.
"What did the other two report?"
"Nobu-san reported that there was a fair amount of movement, however hasn't seen anything specific to indicate Hinata's presence. A number of vehicles have been seen coming and going, including trucks carrying shipping containers. Before we lost contact with Yaku, he reported the same." Kuroo informed, "Taketora-kun has confirmed Igarashi's presence on the docks that hold one of his international shipping vessels, along with two anti-gang members, Junsa Kenjiro Shirabu, and Junsa Tsutomu Goshiki."
"Alright, have all updates go through Kenma, and keep us updated." Kuroo nodded, and approached Kenma to fill the young man in, "the rest of you, it's time to get going."
His stomach was a mess of nerves, fear, and excitement as he sat in the back of the nondescript white van. The road was bumpy, and the group of people around him remained silent. They'd been split into pairs- ballistics, and navigation; then grouped into two teams. One would go to the docks, the other to the northern warehouses. Shimada was at the helm, taking them through a route set out for them by Kenma who was acting as their angelic eye while the Dahlia's cook kept them moving behind the wheel. Ryuu sat quietly in the front passenger seat, his knuckles white as he clenched his hands together in his lap, though his face remained calm save for the light sweat that had broken out on his brow.
"Do you think he'll help us?" Sugawara asked quietly, looking across at Ukai. The back of the van was set up with two bench seats, facing each other on either side of the vehicle. Kageyama had seen them use this van for loading kegs, and other crates, but he'd never traveled in it before. The raven haired man looked between the two older men, eyes curious.
"I hope so, it'll be up to Kinoshita-kun to convince Takeda-sensei to help us again. He's been avoiding me since the last time." Kageyama raised his brow at this, last time? He knew Takeda-sensei as a young family practitioner who sometimes came to the Dahlia to drink with some of his friends from med school, but what did he have to do with this?
"Last time?" Kageyama asked, had Takeda-sensei seen to one of the Dahlia members as a patient?
"Ah, right you wouldn't know. After the incident at the park, Nishinoya-kun was in rough shape, and Daichi and Sugawara had collected some minor injuries of their own during the scuffle after you'd gone for a swim… we took them to Takeda-sensei. He helped of course, but he told us never to bother him again."
"Shouldn't doctors help people?" Kageyama was shocked, the man had seemed so caring and reasonable.
"He's not dumb, he knew exactly what kind of business we are generally involved in, and he's smart enough to keep himself far away from it. I just hope he's willing to look in the opposite direction once more if there are any injuries tonight." Ukai sighed and looked around at the group of people gathered in the van, "wishful thinking, but hopefully none of us will need to put the good Doctor in such a difficult spot."
Kageyama looked at his own clenched hands and nodded slowly. He'd seen the blood at Hinata's place, the redhead would need some medical attention for sure, but how much? Would a family doctor be enough? He'd rather the man go to a proper hospital.
"We just got a message from Yamaguchi-" Tanaka stated, looking down at his mobile. Next to Kageyama the tall brooding blonde twitched at the name. Behind his glasses he was scowling deeper than usual.
Before they'd left, Kageyama had overheard the blonde talking to the shorter freckled man in the kitchen;
"You're not coming." It had been a command, not a request or a question.
"What do you mean I'm not coming, of course I am!" Yamaguchi had exclaimed, looking both flustered and irritated.
"No. You're not. You're going to stay here and look after Hinata-chan, Kenma-san, and Yachi-san." Again Tsukishima wasn't allowing for any other option.
"Kenma-san is more than capable of handling himself, and Kinoshita-san is here!"
"Dammit idiot! I don't want you out there!"
The pair had grown quiet as Tsuki's shoulders sat tensed. "W-why would you say that?" Yamaguchi had taken a step towards his childhood friend, his head tilting to get a better look at the blonde's face as Tsukishima looked down, his frames hiding much of his expression.
"I can't go out there and focus on saving this kid, if I'm too busy worrying about you." Tsukishima's fists clenched as he looked back at the shorter man. Suddenly his hands loosened, while one was brought up to rest on top of Yamaguchi's head. "Please… sit this one out?"
Yamaguchi's eyes were wide as he looked up at his friend, "Tsukki…"
Again, softly, the blonde asked this time,"Please stay here and stay safe. Wait for me?"
Kageyama felt it was time for him to stop intruding on their moment and leave the apartment, his cheeks red at witnessing that moment of softness from the usually stern man. It was another five minutes before Tsukishima emerged into the compound, his face looking more relaxed, however his ears were slightly pink. Kuroo seemed curious, but managed to avoid prodding while the plan was being fleshed out.
Now the blonde sat next to him in the van, silently brooding over the event to come, "The Dock team has reported in, they are in position and awaiting the green light." Tanaka reported, his head tilted to send his voice to the group in the back.
"Shimada-san, what's our ETA?" Ukai asked, looking down at his watch.
"Twenty minutes out."
"Alright, everyone get your radios on, we're using channel seven. Boys, weapons at the ready."
Everyone began moving at once except for Shimada. Tanaka had the man's radio in his lap and got it set up for him. After that the Yakuza members prepared their guns, leaving the safety's on. "Ready." Sugawara stated, looking more serious than Kageyama had ever seen him.
"You all know your assignments yes?" Everyone nodded or gave a grunt of approval. They were as ready as they were going to be.
Kageyama mentally thought back to the plan, the dock teams were Kuroo and Asahi, Taninoue and Narita, Saeko and Nishinoya, and finally Daichi and Ennoshita. They'd gotten one extra team because of Yaku's situation. Kageyama wanted so badly to be on the dock team, logically that's where Hinata would have been if one of the scouts had disappeared. Ukai had forbade it though. He still wasn't at one-hundred percent. He could either have stayed home like Ukai had wanted, or gone with the northern team, where they had a lower chance at conflict.
Kageyama double checked the nine and a half inch fixed blade strapped to his hip as he tried to control his breathing. This was it.
They pulled up next to a dark warehouse on the same stretch as the ones owned by Igarashi, but far enough away to avoid detection. Everyone got out of the van, and waited while Shimada got his radio set up. "Stay safe," Ukai breathed, clasping forearms with each and every one of them before sending them off.
"Let's go." Tanaka stated, his hands lightly shaking on his gun as he nodded towards the west alley towards the outskirts of the target warehouses.
They snuck close into a flanking position, but before they could make it to their designated relay point, a guard came into view at the end of the alley. Kageyama reacted quickly, pulling Tanaka behind a set of crates. They hid, completely still for a few moments, listening carefully for footsteps.
"Team Ryuu report." Yamaguchi's voice came over the radio. He'd been tasked with keeping their team organized once they had boots on the ground, while Kenma organized the dock team.
The two remained silent, their breathing shallow as the sound of footsteps approached. Tanaka slowly holstered his gun much to Kageyama's disbelief. Within seconds the guard was next to them, eyes searching for whatever movement he'd spotted down the dark alley. Tanaka was a blur of speed and muscle as he clamped one hand over the man's mouth, his other grabbing the man's shoulder opposite to his hand, his forearm crossing the man's throat. He pushed the man against the sheet metal wall of the warehouse and increased the pressure on the man's adam's apple. The guard struggled, clawing at Tanaka, but that momentary hesitation due to the surprise attack had sealed his fate. His oxygen ran out, his eyes slowly rolling up into his head. He began to sag against the wall, but Tanaka didn't release him. He held the man't throat for one, two, three, four seconds before slowly lowering him to the ground. Before they moved on, he checked the man's pulse. He nodded to Kageyama who looked panicked. "He's alive, but he'll have a nasty headache in a few hours."
"Where the hell did you learn that?"
"Shimada actually. He's not a tough guy, but he's all about technique. You should ask him for lessons." Tanaka stated, looking smug.
"Team Ryuu… report?"
"Oh! Yes, we came across some trouble, but it's been dealt with, heading to relay point now."
"Roger that."
The pair got moving again after hiding the unconscious guard behind the crates, arriving at their point after two more turns through the alleys. "Alright, Team Ryuu is in pos-" gunfire erupted through the compound. The pair jumped and quickly hid behind the nearest barrel. No shots came down their alley. With wide eyes Ryuu spoke into his earpiece again, "Shots fired! Report! Where did that come from?"
"We need-" crackling came over the radio, heavy interference couldn't muffle the gunshots that rang out through the radio and the air around them. "Team Sugawara needs backup!"
Kageyama's stomach felt like it hit the ground. "Team Ryuu is coming!" Tanaka hissed into the radio, taking off at a sprint to where Sugawara's team was supposed to be.
He could feel his heart trying to break through his chest, the thin alleys making him feel like he had tunnel vision as he ran after Tanaka. He wanted to shout at the man to be careful, that they might run into opposition, but that didn't seem to be much of a problem. The few guards they came across were running in the same direction they were.
"Updated report- Hinata-san and Yaku-san are not at the docks- the dock team is awaiting orders!"
Kageyama wasn't sure if that made him feel better or worse now. He didn't want Hinata around all of this violence. Dammit! Why couldn't they just leave him out of all of this! He could feel his eyes watering as he ran, feet pounding the cement with haste. A loud sound echoed off the metal walls around him, then a hiss past his left ear.
Blue eyes grew wide as Tanaka dove to the side, a man in a suit stood at the end of the Alley, gun extended towards them. Three more pops shouted towards him, but he couldn't make his body move.
Force struck his side, sending him sprawling into the wall. Tanaka hissed against his chest. He'd tackled the younger man out of the way just in time. Blood blossomed on his arm where he got grazed. "T-tana-" Kageyama stammered. Tanaka moved with the quickness of adrenaline, ignoring his wound he raised his gun and fired off some rounds of his own. Suddenly it was quiet in their alley, save for the nearby sounds of battle. Kageyama peeked down the row and saw a prone form sprawled in a growing pool of blood. Tanaka had killed someone. The young yakuza member was shaking, his eyes wide with shock. "C-come on. We don't have time to consider all of this." Tanaka nodded, and allowed Kageyama to help him up.
The pair set off again towards the fight, more cautiously this time. When they finally reached Sugawara's position, they found their friend pinned down behind a truck riddled with bullet holes. Every so often a set of hands would peak out, and fire a handgun at the enemies. From their vantage point, Kageyama couldn't see who it was, but judging by the height and the use of a gun he was able to deduce it was Sugawara. That reminded Kageyama, it had been Sugawara's voice over the radio, not Tsukishima who was supposed to be handling his team's navigation and radio chatter. Where was Tsukishima then?
Tanaka positioned himself behind a barrel carefully and whispered, "Get yourself behind that warehouse. It's about to get very noisy."
Their position was fortuitous, managing to flank the main horde of enemies. Tanaka had most of their backs to him, with enough of an angle to the truck not to worry about hitting Sugawara. He didn't wait for this opportunity to disappear. "Suga-san, I'm in the alley at your two o'clock, on the other side of the truck. Hold your fire until their backs turn to you. Keep yourself covered." Then he open fired.
Bodies fell fast, while others dove for better cover, turning their weapons on the younger man. The barrier protecting Tanaka shook, and dented, sparks flying as bullets hit the metal and ricochet.
Kageyama covered his body with the wall as best he could, trying to avoid catching a stray bullet. He heard another round of gunfire coming from a different direction, which made him want to duck incase they were also being flanked.
"Foun- shhhhhhhhhhht - inata and yaku - shhhhhht- warehou-" These metal buildings were wreaking havoc on their radios. Kageyama activated his own radio and looked at Tanaka who was pinned down under the gunfire.
"They found them!" His blue eyes were wide. Tanaka glared at him and shook his head. They weren't leaving Sugawara and Tsukishima here.
Kageyama didn't want to leave their comrades pinned down either but… "There was gunfire in the direction of Ukai's team-"
"We aren't leaving." This time Tanaka didn't use his radio. He simply shouted angrily. Kageyama slowly nodded, looking ashamed.
Gunfire rang out again while the goons were reloading. Sugawara got his payback. Suddenly it was silent. The two men peeked out from their alley to see black and red strewn about.
"Move fast, be careful, we can't guarantee they're all actually out." Suga instructed over the radio. "Tanaka-san, stay there, cover Kageyama. I'm going to need help with Tsukishima-kun." The two shared worried looks before Tanaka raised his weapon after reloading and giving Kageyama a nod. The raven haired man ducked out of the alley and sprinted to the truck, terrified that any of the prone forms might be playing dead.
When he rounded the vehicle he saw Sugawara crouched next to Tsukishima who was sitting behind one of the large tires for protection. There was blood on his thigh, which the blonde was applying pressure to while Suga hastily tied a bandage around it. "That'll do for now. Kageyama get under one of his arms." Kageyama did as he was told, and the pair of them half dragged Tsukki out into the open. They were halfway to the alley when a gangster sat up with his gun raised. A shot fired and a new hole was introduced to the enemy's sternum. "Thanks Tanaka-kun." Sugawara breathed as they reached the man, Kageyama was both frightened and impressed by his friend. He knew his friend was tough and had been training a bit since becoming a sworn member, but he didn't know he was that good of a shot. Tanaka must have recognized the expression on his face, resulting in a shrug.
"Saeko's been taking me shooting for a few years."
"No time for chit chat. We'll take Tsukki to the van, Tanaka-san please go assist Uk-"
"I'm not going to the van, I'm sorry… Hinata's in this mess because of me, hell… we're all in this mess because of me. I need to see this through, I need to be there." His voice was shaking, along with his body. Tsukishima groggily lifted his arm from Kageyama's shoulder, and shoved him away before putting some weight on his one good leg.
"I'm not completely useless you know. Tanaka can't go without backup." The blonde grumbled. Suga blinked at him, as if asking if it was really okay. Tsukki nodded, and touched his earpiece. "Team Sugawara is heading back to the extraction point. Team Ryuu is heading in to provide backup for team Ukai."
There was a pause, then a relieved sounding voice on the line, "Roger that. The dock teams have been recruited to your location for extraction, eta forty minutes."
Kageyama felt some relief at that, Kenma must be doing a gods work to get the team to the warehouses in forty minutes. He absently wondered if the man had hacked into the traffic grid to manipulate traffic in their favour. He'd remind himself to ask if they made it through this.
"Stay safe." Suga mentioned over his shoulder as he helped Tsukki away from the others.
"You too."
The pair set off at a run again towards Ukai's location, and reached it in under a minute. It was eerily quiet after all of the gunfire. Ryuu had his weapon at the ready as they neared a large bay door with blacked out windows. They crept along the building, listening for any sounds. Nothing. Where had the gunfire come from? There were so many buildings… A crash sounded from inside, paired with some scuffling. The two ran along the side of the warehouse looking for any other entrance. On the back side there were stairs leading to another door which sat slightly ajar. The pair double timed it up the stairs and crashed through the portal. They were in a room which looked like any kind of shipping office, only messier. There had definitely been a struggle. Two loud bangs alerted them to further gunfire.
"You… you rat bastard…" Ukai's voice came to them through another door. They approached carefully, keeping low as they exited onto a catwalk.
"What, you thought the leadership of the Yakuza could change hands without some bloodshed and power grabs? I know you're young, but you can't be that foolish."
They looked down into the room below and saw Ukai disarmed, back against a box, and his hands clutched to his side.
"Ukai-kun…" The man who stood over him with a gun trained to his chest sang, His kimono a mess of dirt and blood, "I've only got a few years on you, but I've been at this game far longer than you have. If you think your grandfather and the other leaders under Sumiyoshi-kai can maintain power over Tokyo, you are sorely mistaken."
Ukai coughed, the sound echoing through the room, "don't count us out yet Igarashi-san."
Tanaka didn't wait any longer. He'd been setting up his shot during the conversation, and he was ready. Gunfire sounded once more, raining down upon the tall auburn haired man. He dove with unnatural grace out of the range of bullets, however he didn't exit unscathed. Force exploded into his shoulder and he stumbled back into the bay door, Ryuu was forced to reload, and the man took that chance to fire off three shots to make the two younger men duck for cover before running off under the catwalk where they couldn't see him. The sound of a door slamming offered them evidence to his departure.
"Bastard got away…" They heard Ukai mutter. The two men stood quickly and ran down the catwalk. Tanaka went straight for Ukai while Kageyama looked frantically for the small redhead.
There he was, a small ball, chained, unmoving. Kageyama felt his heart sink at the sight. Another man was sluggish, tied up across from Hinata.
"Who… who's there?" The stranger groaned, on the verge of unconsciousness. Kageyama ran to the redhead's side, his hands reaching out to touch him. He hesitated. What if he was too late? What if he touched the man and felt nothing but a lifeless corpse?
"Is he alive?" he heard Ukai call out.
Kageyama snapped out of it and reached for the small man's neck. He saw horrible bruising and rope burn across the pale flesh; rage bubbled in his gut. Long fingers felt gently around for a pulse. He felt something light, as if Hinata's heartbeat was as fragile as a butterfly's fluttering wing. Oceanic eyes flew over his form, taking in the injuries.
Hinata was bleeding out from three large wounds. Kageyama quickly pulled off his sweater and unsheathed his knife. He made quick work, cutting thick strips and wrapping the wounds as best he could. Once Hinata's chest, side and leg were bound, he started working on the chain.
"That man… the one with the fucked up head… check 'em for a key." the other prisoner muttered, nodding towards the foreigner who'd had made friends with a bullet to the skull.
Tanaka appeared, having left Ukai to help Kageyama. He searched the corpse and found a ring of small keys. One by one he tried the keys while the younger man supported the limp redhead. Finally the cuffs came undone, clattering to the ground. Tanaka moved to the other man, "I'm assuming you're Yaku-san?" Kageyama heard a grunted affirmative, however his attention was elsewhere.
Hinata shifted in his arms, it was hardly a noticeable movement, but he was sure that the smaller man had indeed moved. Kageyama touched the man's cheek, turning his face towards his own to get a better look at the damage.
Slowly brown eyes cracked open. "Kah…" The sound was breathy and dry, as if the young man had been trapped in a desert for a week- or strangled a few times.
"Hinata-san, don't try to speak…" Kageyama could hear his own voice shaking as he cradled the man's cheek, his other arm wrapped securely around his former saviour's thin body.
"I don't want to break up the touching reunion, but we do need to go." Ukai warned. He'd stood up, his own hand applying pressure to the wound in his side. He was pale, with a thin sheen of sweat covering his dirty brow. "The plan's gone sideways as it is, the least we can do is get out of here in as many pieces as we are currently in without losing more along the way." He looked down to Tanaka and Yaku, "Is he moveable?"
Tanaka mimicked Sugawara and acted as a crutch for the exhausted and injured man. "Sort of, but it won't be comfortable."
"I can deal with some discomfort, just get me out of this godforsaken place." Yaku groaned, before adding, "please."
"Kageyama?"
The man was working Hinata into his arms, trying not to jostle him too much. He seemed smaller than before, though it could have been his imagination. Kageyama lifted the petite man and felt his healing injuries protest. He could do this, he had to do this.
A small hand clutched the collar of his shirt as Hinata pressed his cheek against Kageyama's shoulder. The redhead took a ragged breath through his nose, inhaling the scent that clung to the raven haired man, before relaxing into the arms that held him. "Don't you give up on me now." Kageyama warned, turning to leave through the door Igarashi had escaped through.
"Team Ryuu - shhhhhht- ort" As the group of five neared the exit, the radio began working again.
"Team Ryuu please resp- shhhhhhht"
They left the building and head towards the extraction point as fast as they could with the injuries they had. "This is Team Ryuu, with the Boss, Hinata-san, and Yaku-san in tow. We're headed for the extraction point- do you read?"
"Roger that! Shimada-san arrived with Team Sugawara, however there has been signs of increased activity between your last known point and the extraction point!"
"Shit…" Ukai grumbled. "Would it be too much to ask for a pickup? We've got injured, and very little ammo."
There was a delay before a response came through, "This is Shimada- head for Team Ryuu's original flanking point. We'll come to you. Be prepared to jump into the van."
"Right."
They changed directions and head as quickly as possible to the flanking point. Kageyama's arms were burning, but he refused to take a break. Every second was crucial.
Finally they arrived, and hunkered down behind some cover.
"We're in position."
There was no need for a response. Soon screeching tires greeted them on the closest street to their alley. Further gunfire echoed around the buildings as the enemy reinforcements finally caught up to them. The back door was thrown open as the van skid to a halt. Sugawara leaned out with his arms extended, and immediately helped Tanaka and Yaku clamber into the vehicle. Ukai all but dove head first into the cover of the truck while bullets narrowly missed them. Kageyama gulped and ran out of the cover, turning his body to protect his friend from the spray of bullets.
Hissing sounds flew by his ears, and he felt heat bite into the skin on the edge of his arm. He dove into the van sliding against the floor with Hinata on his chest until he slid into Ukai who grunted in discomfort. Suga slammed the doors shut encasing them in complete darkness as Shimada hit the gas. Suga was thrown roughly into the side of the vehicle as they sped away, taking sharp turns and swerving this way and that. Suga slid to the floor of the van to join the rest of them, arms reaching to hold onto one another for some form of modest safety.
Finally the van straightened out, however the speed didn't die down.
"Alright! North team is out of the warehouses, and heading for the city, we've got a full load and need medical attention immediately." Ukai barked into his earpiece.
"Rendezvous with dock team at the Shimizu Private Clinic."

Also Junsa (Junsa Kenjiro Shirabu, and Junsa Tsutomu Goshiki) is essentially like saying "officer" just in case you were wondering.
