Chpt.21
Come on Apollo, I want to get an early start on patrol." I said in a hurry. And he complains that I take to long getting into costume. I tapped my foot anxiously waiting to go. Ever since dad's no go without Apollo rule, I was pretty much stuck with him.
"I'm done, now lets go!" he smiled.
"Finally." I sighed, hopping on my motorcycle.
"So, where to go first?" Apollo questioned.
"Try the south side of the city." I suggested. That's where gangs usually hide out, and I could try to find Luis Bolero." Suddenly there was an explosion.
"It's the bank." Apollo informed.
"Really? I thought the explosion was coming from behind the bank that's on fire." I said sarcastically.
"Gosh you're upset about this." muttered Apollo as we headed toward the bank.
"Second bank this month, I think Luis is in a pinch for some money." I said once at the location. This time five men with ski masks came running out of the building.
"Maybe it's not the gang lord." Apollo said to me while running to the men. I followed after him. The second Apollo pinned one robber, he was blasted back with an energy beam. The blast was from another robber to the right, who I was quick to attack. He wasn't getting a shot on me. All the robbers had futuristic weapons. Apollo was taking on two men, while I was taking on the three left over.
"So… still think… ugh!" I gasped when one punched me in the face. I quickly punched back, "Still think… that there not… with Luis." I said. It was now one on two with me and the robbers. I knocked one out.
"Maybe… they… ugh! Ahg!" Apollo was being beaten bad.
Gosh, he's so weak! I quickly jabbed one robber, and the other I elbowed in the stomach, then punched in the face. They were both down, and I ran to help Apollo who was being beaten mercilessly by the other two robbers. They didn't see me coming and I easily knocked them out.
"Don't try to talk and fight, unless you have your opponent easily beat." I smiled. Apollo's breath was ragged, and he was covered in bruises, but he was alright.
"I… I was just saying that maybe they got the weapons somewhere else." Apollo breathed.
"Well lets find out." I smiled. I handcuffed all the robbers, and when one started to wake up, I started interrogating him. "Who did you get those nice weapons from?" I questioned. The man glared at me.
"Sorry, I'm bad with names." he said.
"Look bud, I don't have good patience. Tell me, who did you get the weapons from?" I questioned again.
"I ain't say'n nothing." the robber spat.
"Don't waste you're time Theresa." I herd a voice come from behind me. It was Shadow, followed closely by Midnight. "They won't tell you anything. If they do, the moment they would go to jail, The Bolero's would kill thrm." Shadow explained.
"And how do you know that?" Apollo inquired.
"Jhonny." I mumbled giving him a look saying, 'stop being such a jerk, they're the good guys.' Shadow replied to Apollo saying,
"we have our recourses."
"So these goons are with the Bolero's?" I questioned. Shadow nodded.
"From your 'recourses' do you know where the Bolero family is?" Apollo questioned.
"No. We suspect someplace in the southern part of the city, but we can't say for sure." Shadow answered. Apollo jumped onto his motorcycle and revved it up.
"Come on Theresa." he said coldly. I didn't want to go with him. I'd rather stay with Shannon, and Woo-woo, but then there was that stupid rule dad made.
"Coming." I sighed. As I walked past Shannon and Woo I whispered, "Thanks." I hopped onto my motorcycle and followed Apollo. "where to now?" I inquired.
"The southern part of the city." Apollo grumbled. I knew he didn't want to admit it, but he thought that Shadow was right. As we drove I was happy to see out of the corner of my eye two dark female figures, following us in the shadows.
