It didn't take us long to get the hotel in sight and along the way Jaynè had picked up her own sniper rifle and she was a little too happy when she found a new sword on a dead brute. I peaked around the corner of the building next to the hotel and I almost stood there with awe of the lavish building if it weren't for the few holes that decorated the expensive looking hotel. I came back around the corner and looked at the two Elites I had with me.
"Alright you two put your rifles on your back as we approach the hotel so that they are more willing to let you stand where you are."
Jaynè put her rifle away while it took a few minutes to coax Rechèl to put away her rifle. After both had put their rifles away I reached up to my helmet and turned on my comms, "Hey Doc! I'm on approach to the hotel."
"Roger. What took you so long Devi?"
"had to deal with a few brutes on the way."
"you always had to pick a fight with those brutes."
"alright me and the two allies I talked about are going to be coming around the building on your left and what ever you two do don't fire at them."
"Why would we fire at..."
Casey stopped mid sentence when she saw that I had an Elite Minor and Zealot behind me with their weapons in their holsters.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH TWO ELITES!"
I didn't need the comm to hear her outburst as you could clearly hear her outburst from the top floor of the hotel.
"Now hold on Casey. They are allies."
"How are those Elites allies."
"Casey. Can we please talk about this in the safety of the hotel. They are wounded and need your medical expertise."
At the mention of them being injured Casey's tone of voice changed.
"What do you mean injured?"
"The brutes were ordered to kill all Elites. The Minor I saved before the brutes could do anything to her while the Zealot managed to hold out until I got there and defeated the last of the brutes that were attacking her."
By the time I had realized that I said she and her I could hear Casey laughing on the other end of the comm along with a very rare giggle from Sarah. By the time the laughter died down Casey was barely managing to hold back her laughter as she said, "come on in. I want to meet these two Elites."
If I wasn't wearing a full head gear you would have seen me as bright red as you can get from embarrassment but when I looked behind me the two Elites weren't faring any better as they had overheard the conversation and their cheeks were slightly purple.
"Let's go before she thinks of saying."
I was cut off by Casey saying into the comms, "Which one do you like or do you have a crush on both of them?"
This only made me redder and the Elites a brighter purple. I quickly reached up and cut the transmission before Casey could taunt me anymore.
"Let's go."
The three of us made it to the door and I could hear that Casey was on the other side laughing it out while attempting to unblock the door. When she and Sarah finally managed to unblock and open the door Casey just burst into even more laughter as she said, "you three are the same height. You three are perfect for each other."
That seamed to have broken Rechèl's temper as she growled, "You better watch what you say next human."
Her aggressive stance and the anger in her voice made Casey let out a little "Eeep" before she backed a bit from the Elites. I was about to try to calm her down but Jaynè beat me to it.
"Now Rechèl. Threatening the humans won't gain you any trust and I believe the only reason she is saying that is because she has a crush on him."
Now it was Casey's turn to go red as she hurriedly said, "No that's not it at all."
This seamed to have worked for Rechèl because she started to laugh along with Jaynè. Their laughter died down after a few minutes and the entire time the three females were teasing each other I just stood there with a neutral expression while on the inside I was begging for Jim to hurry up and get here so that I wasn't the only male in the entire building. After a few minutes of listening to them teasing each other i was about to explode in annoyance but my stomach beat me to the punch and growled at me for food since I haven't eaten since yesterday. Because of how big and empty the hotel was the normally quiet growl turned into a loud growl that echoed around the room. Everyone stared at me and I just stood there not caring then everyone even Sarah laughed.
"Haha laugh it up. I haven't eaten anything since yesterday and I haven't had the time to scavenge or eat."
"Devi Devi Devi. What will we do with you and your almost endless stomach. Well if you are really hungry then there are a few MREs in the kitchen."
"alright I'll go eat."
As I was walking towards the kitchen I heard Sarah whisper something to Casey and I had a sneaking suspicion so just before I went through the kitchen doors I shouted back to them.
"Don't go killing each other now and no torturing of any kind."
As the door closed I heard all of them let out a sound of disappointment. I just chuckled to myself as I walked over to the MREs.
