Chapter 6

Raph tied Reuven's hands tightly behind his back. "Do you know what I hate more than loosing a fight?"

Reuven grunted, refusing to answer.

"Criminals." Raph walked around Reuven and stood in front of him next to Raison, his arms crossed.

Rai pushed Reuven down into a chair. "Now. Where have you stashed the shipment?"

"Why don't you ask Drexel?" Reuven spat.

Raph snorted. "We already sent him off. He didn't know where you put it."

"You kept that info to yourself," Rai said, crossing his arms. "But you're going to lead us right to it."

Reuven's eyes narrowed. "And why would I do that?"

Raph slipped out a sai and walked behind Reuven. "Ever felt the tip of a sai?" He touched the metal point to Reuven's finger tip.

Sweat started to glisten off Reuven's skin.

"I thought not," Raph sneered.

"Now," Rai said, eying their captive. "Will you lead us to the shipment? If you don't, I don't think I can hold my friend back from his… intentions."

Reuven gulped. "Alright."

Raph slipped his sai back into his belt and forced Reuven to his feet. "Let's go then tough guy."

Reuven led them down a series of back alleys and deserted streets on the outskirts of the city until they came to a lonely part of the docks. It was eerie. The moon was only half out. Dark shadows crossed the river.

"It should be around here somewhere," Reuven finally spoke up.

"Where?" Raph growled. There were many warehouses and he didn't want to have to bust into every one of them. Raph poked the guy with his sai.

"The one on the left. The closest one," Reuven squacked.

Rai walked forward, leading the way. He stopped at the door and turned, eying Reuven. "Security?"

"Umm…"

"Umm?" Rai asked with a hardened glare.

Raph poked him in the back with his sai again, harder this time. He hated it when people suttered.

"A security system. Top of the line," Reuven boasted.

"How do we disarm it?" Raph demanded.

"Are you dumb? Put in the code," Reuven sneered.

Raph growled.

"And where exactly do we put in the code?" Rai asked, searching the door.

"Press the brick on the wall next to the door handle."

Rai did and a number pad showed.

"And the code is?" Raph asked, his voice a low growl.

Reuven didn't answer.

Raph muttered under his breath. This guy was infuriating! He ripped out his sai again and conked Reuven on the head with the butt of his weapon.

Rai turned his glare on Raph as Reuven crumpled to the ground. "You didn't have to do that."

Raph smirked. "I know. But don't tell me you don't have a backup plan."

"I always do," Rai sighed. He smiled slightly. "Well most of the time."

Raph chuckled. Just like Leo. They should stop spending so much time together.

Rai pulled a small black device from his cloak's pocket and hooked it up to the number pad. After a couple minutes the door opened and he stepped inside.

Raph followed, dragging Reuven in with him and dumping him in the center of the warehouse. "So what exactly did he take?"

Rai scanned the few boxes in the warehouse and opened one. He pulled out a round black ball. "It's a timed electrical device. It will wipe out any and all electrical devices it's touching."

"You're kidding me," Raph said amazed. "That sounds like something Donny would make."

Rai nodded. "I wouldn't doubt that."

"How many are in there?"

"Hundreds." Rai pulled out a black phone. "I have to call the Taris authorities."

Raph nodded and looked at another box while Rai was on the pone. Curious, he opened it. His eyes widened at the sight. "Whoa…"

It was filled with gold coins.

"Hey Rai."

Raison joined him still on the phone. "Yeah it's a warehouse on the docks." He leaned over and looked in the box. "Hey Ander, we found the jackpot… Ok talk to you later." He grinned as he hung up. "This gold's been missing for a couple of months now."

Raph let some of it sift through his fingers. It wasn't like any gold he had ever seen before. They were the size of quarters, he knew they were worth a lot more than some measly quarters. And the box was chalk full of 'em. "Wow."

"Yeah." Rai picked up Reuven, who now was starting to stir. "Ander will send some people to pick up this stuff and we'll drop Reuven here off where we brought Drexel."

Raph nodded. This had been a good night. He should join Rai more often. He hadn't realized how much fun he had been missing out on.
