Okay, so you still like my boys? Nice to know…

Hope you'll continue to like them.

Jack had to give it to him, the kid's ability to kick down doors were no less than admirable. The two inch wooden door sprang open at the first kick, wood splintering near the lock.

He didn't get the chance to brag of Alex's neat kick, because inside the room there were seven armed guards. And they weren't too happy to see Jack and Alex.

Two of the guards charged at them, the other ones lifted their guns. Jack grabbed a hold of one of the guys hair, jerking his head down at the same time as he thrusted his knee upward crushing the guy's nose. Unfortunately, the guy didn't go down so easily and he kept fighting.

The guys who had raised their guns obviously waited for the other two to either win or get out of the way before they started shooting.

He tried sweeping his opponent's legs, but the guy just jumped over his attempt.

Jack yelped as the guy's knee connected with his ribcage, it set him a little off edge, but he recovered quickly enough to be able to duck the roundhouse kick aimed for his head.

The man tried to kick him square in the chest, stupid move… But of course, the guy in a dress jacket couldn't know that on beforehand. Alex caught the man's foot and stretched his leg all the way above both of their heads. It didn't help the guy that Alex was a good six inches taller than him. Alex's actions caused the shorter man to jump up and down on the toes of his left foot.

Alex shifted the man's foot down to his shoulder, making it possible for him to hold him with only one arm. It was still very high for the other man to have his foot held. This left Alex's left hand free to do other things, like reaching for his gun and fire a few rounds into the men holding guns towards them, then he clonked his opponent at the temple with the butt of his handgun.

Just as the man sagged down in front of him, a weight crashed into him from his side.

He knew it before he hit the ground. He knew it just as the audible pop rang through the room, it sounded kinda like when a rubber band snaps. A rubber band about the thickness of a water hose. Everyone else in the room who was still alive and conscious snapped their heads towards the origin of the sound.

Jack was the first one to recover from the sickening sound, and used that to his advantage and knocked out the man who was trying to fight him, the one who had crashed into Alex.

"What was that?" Jack asked casting a worried glance at Alex, "Was that your ACL? PCL?"

Alex shook his head, his eyes focused on nothing in particular. "No, no… No, I tore those a little while ago… But something tore…"

"Does it hurt?"

"Hasn't registered yet…" Alex answered, still with a thousand yard stare.

The dictator shifting behind the desk fetched Jack's attention, and caused him to take action once again. Propelling himself towards the guy, Jack hooked an elbow around the man's torso causing them both to crash into the wall behind the dictator.

Alex looked up as Jack stood back up with a groan. The older man was rubbing gently at his shoulder, wincing.

"You doing good?"

"Nah…" Jack answered, biting down on his teeth. "Knocked out my shoulder… You know how to set one?"

Alex nodded, "My brother is the master of dislocated shoulders… Come here…"

"How's the leg?"

"Certainly starting to tell me that something is wrong…" Alex grimaced, pressing his right hand down on top of his quadriceps. "How is the idiot behind the desk?"

"Out cold. Cuffed him too…"

Alex nodded, "Good…"

Jack grunted as he kneeled down beside Alex, his shoulder giving him more than a little trouble. Jack looked towards the younger man's right knee. It was hard to tell how bad it hurt by the younger man's expression, but the odd angle the joint took gave Jack some indication of how serious the injury probably was.

"Let me do a little quick fix of that shoulder of yours…" Alex said getting ready to grab a hold of Jack's weird angled arm, "Cause I might need to use you as a crutch on my way outta here…"

"You also need me to make some kind of splint for your knee. Knees are not meant to bend that way…"

"Don't you think I know that?" Alex shot back with a grimace.

"So… Who do you think will screw up the case first? Your guy or my twin?"

"You really don't have much faith in that brother of yours?" Riley asked sitting down next to Kim.

"Oh, I have faith in him…" Kim clarified, "But I know of Murphy's law… And I'm quite sure Alex is Murphy's law's favorite victim…"

"He is?"

"Yup." Kim leaned back and folded his hands at the right side of his chest. "Plus, he could probably pick a fight in an empty desert."

"And how about you?" Riley asked, her foot nudging Kim's leg, Mac rolled his eyes.

"Oh, I've got a little bit of wild blood in me too…" Kim winked back, "But unlike Alex, I enjoy using my brain cells for a little more than planning my next move in a hand to hand…"

"What do you like to do?" Riley pushed, inching closer.

Mac had to avert his eyes, he had a crush going on Riley… But he hadn't been able to put it across to her, and now she was starting to flirt with one of his buddies. It felt like a punch in the gut. The jewelry 'tree' standing in Riley's bookcase was interesting enough to hang his eyes on for a while.

"I'm more into the tactical aspect. Planning, finding ways to infiltrate…" Kim answered, bobbing his eyes side to side, "But I have to admit, I enjoy a good fight as much as the next guy. I've been practicing BJJ since I was seven or so…"

"Brazilian Jiu Jitsu? Nice…" Riley smiled.

"Do you do BJJ?"

Riley shook her head and blushed ever so slightly, "No, but I've seen it being practiced…"

"Let me guess, you liked watching it?"

"More like I liked when the two guys practicing it decided it was too hot for t-shirts…"

Mac had never before hoped for someone to shoot him, but right now. He probably would have thanked whoever did it.

"Well, I'd invite you to some of our practices, but I'm out for a couple of months… Doctor's orders…" Kim said angling his head so he could look Riley up and down beside him.

"Raincheck?"

"If you want one, it's yours…"

"I'd really like that…" Riley smiled back, moving her leg just a little, enough for her and Kim's knees to touch.

Alex pulled Jack's shoulder back into the spot where it was supposed to be, and instinctively ducked as the ball of the humerus slammed into the socket.

The way both men were left groaning and cussing would have left most truckers blushing.

"Why'd you duck?" Jack gasped stabilizing his left shoulder with his right arm. Then he let out another growl.

Alex grimaced, his hands reaching for his mangled knee. "Kim… Kim usually lashes out during extreme pain… Best not to be within striking distance…"

"Fair enough…" Jack offered a quick smile to Alex, and nodded towards his leg. "I'll find something to stabilize that thing…"

Yeah… So…
Hope you're enjoying yourselves(, and my story…)
