So it's been 5-ever. I'm sorry! So the all awaited chapter 5 is here and hopefully to your liking. :P

Rena awoke in darkness. She tried to scream for help but was stopped by a gag that tasted slightly of sweat. She couldn't move her arms or legs. A man walked into the dark room. She couldn't really see any of his features.

"Good evening Rena," He didn't sound natural. "I do hope you enjoy your stay." He gave her chin a stroke and laughed. She growled and moved away as best she could.

He laughed a little more and left her alone in the darkness.

…

"What do you mean they haven't been doing anything?" Raven shouted into his cell phone. He was positively seething with rage. I was right there. I could do nothing to save her. It's my fault she's gone.

"That's just it, Raven," Elesis said. "We've been watching all of your old buddies. None of them are doing anything suspicious." "That's impossible. I know who did this." He glared at where Rena's bags still were.

"Great. Who?"

"Alex. He's done this kind of thing already. He wants me to be scared, but I think I'd rather fly into a rage."

Elesis paused. "…Shit." Raven raised an eyebrow.

"What, Elesis? Please tell me it's not as bad as I'm afraid it is." Raven started pacing again.

"He's the only one of your former accomplices that we couldn't find. I never told you because there was still an outside chance we could find him, though he's been off the grid for years."

"…What?" Raven clenched his fist, refraining from punching the wall.

"Damnit! He doesn't even have a record. He's completely off the books," Raven couldn't speak, he was so angry. "Raven, don't do what I know you're about to do…" All he was able to do calmly was press the end call button. He grabbed up Rena's groceries and headed home.

…

The door opened, briefly blinding Rena. She tried to move her arm, forgetting that they were tied behind her back.

"You know, Raven's surprisingly hard to track. You people just don't see how hard I work to keep tabs on my enemies. Also, Rena, you're a hard woman to kidnap." A man with long blond hair in a braid down his back stood in the doorway.

Rena sat there and glared at him.

"Aww, now what do you have to say to me about all this?" He grinned sadistically as he removed her gag.

"Go. To. Hell. Asshole," Rena spat at him. He took a step back, still grinning.

"Aww, you are just like Seris!" He laughed slightly. "At least she knew about Raven's past already, but you, on the other hand…" He trailed off. Rena never dropped her glare, but her eyes betrayed her confusion.

"Let me go," she said steadily.

"No! I have too much to tell you!" He stopped grinning, which was somehow more frightening. "But, for now I must bid you farewell. Gangs don't run themselves!" He flicked his wrist and the door opened. He walked out, leaving her without her gag on.

…

The weird thing about suiting up again, Raven thought, was that it was against his old crew. He was going to head out to his old gang's headquarters when someone knocked on his door.

"What?" He opened the door slightly, to see one of Elesis' fellow officers there.

"Good Afternoon, Raven. I'm Chung." He stood at attention.

"Why are you here?"

"Elesis asked me to provide backup to you if you do something stupid. Her words." He smiled at Raven.

"I don't need backup." Raven tried to shut the door in his face.

"I am a world renowned sniper. You wouldn't even know I was there," Chung paused, moving his foot in to keep the door open. "Also, Rena is a wonderful person. My girlfriend would kill me if I didn't try to help in any way I can." He quirked another smile. Raven shrugged.

"Fine. You need to be my lookout. If anyone in there tries to get behind us, you threaten them by training your gun on them. You are going to have to kill at least one man today. I need to know that you are prepared to do that."

"Raven, I am former Military. I don't have any problems with killing a man."

"Good." Raven finally left his apartment. Chung followed him silently.

…

After what felt like four days, Rena was ready to act. She had finally been able to sit up. From the random visits of the braided man she could pinpoint how many people there were in her prison. He opened the door wide enough for her to see people coming and going. Braided man came in at what she calculated to be about as early as 9:30 p.m. to as late as 1:00 a.m. She knew when the guards switched positions. She had even started to figure out a plan to get out of this hell hole. She wasn't going to just roll over and wait to be saved.

She bit into the duct tape tying her legs together. It might have left a bad taste in her mouth, but she still bit it. After a few nibbles it ripped. She ripped the rest just by pulling apart her legs.

Rena brought her legs up to her chest, kicking off the duct tape that kept her arms from moving. Standing up and popping all her joints, she waited crouched by the door for the person with her lunch.

She leaped on his back and choked him out silently, and lowered him to the ground. Looting the keys from his belt, and his knife, she opened up her door again.

The guards looked warily into the room. One got stuck in the leg with the knife, while the other was taken out with several swift kicks to the groin, torso, and head. She knocked out the other with a boot to the head.

"Pleasure doing business with you." Rena growled, grabbing the knife out of the one's leg and stealing his knife as well.

…

"They run operations out of this warehouse," Raven said, indicating the one right in front of them. "Hopefully we can just walk in and get information and walk out. But I don't see that happening. The best scenario is that we only kill a few of them, and escape with what we needed to know."

Chung nodded, watching the warehouse."There's a ladder up to that window. I can snipe anyone from there."

"That's probably best. They wouldn't like to meet a new player. I'll make this signal," He held up his closed fist. "When you need to shoot whoever is behind me. And this," He held up an open hand, "when you need to hold."

"Got it. Ready?" Chung got into a runner's stance.

"Go get up to the window. I'll go in when you're ready."

Quickly getting into position, Chung motioned for Raven to move in.

Raven sighed as he got up. He walked calmly up to the doors, and kicked them open.

"Good evening, assholes! Did you miss me?"
