"Not much longer till we get there, chill motherfucker." Gamzee replied.
They had left the city and were heading to North Jayia, for Cole's sake, and they were supposed to go that way anyways. They had met up with Terezi and the others shortly after they left. "We have to go that way anyways, so shut up or I'll kick you in the jaw." Terezi said.
"Bite me." Dirk replied.
"Don't tempt me." she replied.
Gamzee snickered.
They walked for another half hour, and the town came into view. "Finally here!" Nepeta said, jogging a bit ahead.
The group followed her. A figure with orange hair came into view. "Bout damned time you got here." Dave said.
"Did you find where Cole is?" Terezi asked.
"You know it. Here are the coordinates." he replied, handing Gamzee a piece of paper.
He took it, and put it in his pocket. "Thank you. So did the others come through?"
Dave shrugged. "Fuck if I know. They got here before me, and I haven't seen them yet."
"You didn't page them?" Dirk asked.
"Fuck no I didn't. Too much work."
Terezi slapped the back of his head. "Another one?" he said.
"Yep." she replied.
Gamzee walked ahead with Dirk. "Coming?" he said.
Nepeta followed closely, and the other two shortly after. They went immediately to where Dave said he found them. It was a building in the middle of town, probably a large-scaled hotel. His thoughts were correct as they approached their destination. Dirk gave a whistle. "Damn they know how to choose." he commented.
"That's why we inflitrate. I already went in and got some employee outfits and shit." Dave said.
"Already ahead of us, eh?" Gazmee said.
Dave nodded and opened the bag he was carrying, handing Nepeta and Dirk outfits. "You both will act as employees. Gamzee and Terezi are gonna go in as hotel inspectors." he said, taking out two black suits, with red ties.
"Smart." Dirk said.
"Sure." Dave replied.
"What will you be doing?" Nepeta asked.
"I'll be someone staying at the hotel." he then pulled out a card key and smiled.
"When should we implement this?" Gamzee asked.
"ASAP. Get dressed everyone." Dave said, going into another building.
Gamzee had often thought that Dave should be a leader type, and he can be when the situation calls, and also if he feels like it. He refuses to accept the title, as well, though. The rest had gone into different buildings. They were familiar with the town, as they had moved here back then.
Dave came out of the building wearing plad shorts, sneakers, and a red shirt. Gamzee and Terezi shortly after, wearing the black suits and red ties. Nepeta and Dirk looked like actually employees. "Good." Dave started. "Now then. Employees, in 10 minutes, clock in ," he said handing Nep and Dirk cards, "Inspectors, enter half an hour later," he handed Gamzee and Terezi badges, "and I'll go in now. This card key is one to a room right next to the dickwipes. Cole is in there, tied up."
"You know this how?" Terezi asked.
"I have my ways. Same ways I got most of this junk." he replied.
"Flirting?" she retorted.
"You're half right."
"I don't wanna know." she replied.
He smiled and entered the hotel. "This is a smart plan for Strider." Terezi started, "The only thing is..."
Dave smiled as he entered the hotel, hearing Terezi yell "WHAT THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO?!"
Everything would come into play as they came in. He walked to the elevators, entered one, and went up to his floor. An employee asked him if he needed anything, and he replied with no, thanks. The employee nodded, smiled and walked off. Dave went to room 539 and put his ear to the door. He could still hear them interrogating Cole. He then walked to the room right next to 349. Using the key card, he entered and closed the door behind him. He got the key card by jacking it from one of the employees, he just happened to get the one next to these dillweeds. Something doesn't feel right, though. He couldn't put his finger on it. Shrugging it off, he looked at the time. Nep and Dirk are in, and Gamzee and Terezi should get be inside in 5 minutes.
Nepeta and Dirk were carrying bags up to the 6th floor. When they were done and put the bags up, they headed to the 5th floor, to the room Dave paged them to go, 349. Dirk knocked on the door. Nepeta pushed a cart down the hall, and started cleaning the wall, as to not arouse suspicion. He heard shuffling, then the door opened a bit. "What do you want?" a guy asked.
"Just to check if ya need anythin." Dirk replied.
"No, thank you."
"You sure? Could fix somethin. Break somethin. Hide somethin. Ya know. Just bout anythin."
"No. Go away." the guy closed the door.
"Hostile, just like I thought." Dirk said.
Dave walked out. He knocked on the door next. "I told you to go awa-" the same guy said as he opened the door, stopping himself as he saw Dave.
"Hey asswipe. Heard some shit goin on. Everything alright?" Dave said.
The man looked flustered. "None of your business you little prick."
"Little?!.." Dave started, hate flooding his eyes, his fists clenching.
Dirk put a hand on his shoulder. "Calm down."
Both Dave and Dirk had problems with being called anything related to 'little'.
"Everything alright over here?" Gamzee's voice came from around the corner.
"Yeah.." Dave said, his jaw clenched.
"These pricks are disturbing me and my associates." the man said.
Terezi stepped up and pushed Dave aside. "I apologize for this man's rude temper. He can be a shrimpy little shrude boy."
Dave was about to snap, but held himself together. "Damn right. Now if you'll excuse me.." the guy started to close the door as Gamzee stuck his foot in, stopping the door from closing.
"What the fuck is it now?!" the man said, clearly irritated.
"Inspector Herrera. Inspector Quinn. You're here." Nepeta said, coming up.
Terezi nodded, then turned her head back to the man. "We have to take a look around in there. No negotiations."
The man's eyes turned from side to side. "Now's not a good time." he said, trying to close the door.
"Apologies for my associate's rudeness, but it is not negotiable. We have to." Gamzee said.
"Fine fine, make it quick" he said with a huff.
He let Gamzee and Terezi in, having the others wait at the door, Dave went into his own room. "Showtime.." he whispered, opening the vent screen and climbing in. It was quite large. He took a left, and was right over the room Gam and Terezi went into.
"Everything seems in order." Gamzee said.
"Yeah, yeah."
"So tell me, mister?.." Terezi started.
"Dioman."
"Mr. Dioman.. Tell me something."
"What the heck is it now?"
"Where's the hostage?" she said, grabbing one of the associates by the wrists and holding him against the wall.
Dave dropped in and on another one, keeping him there. Dirk and Nepeta walked inside, holding tazers they picked up from the employee lounge. "What the hell-" the one under Dave started, as he tazed him.
"I've always wanted to do that." he said.
The man clapped. The group looked confused. "What the fuck are you clapping for?" Dave said.
"You all are smarter than we thought. Innovative ways to gain entrance. Good disguises. Actually had me fooled." he laughed.
"The FUCK are you talking about?" Dirk said.
"You played into our hands."
"Come again?" Gamzee said.
As he said that, several guys in full black suits came out, guns pointed at each of Gamzee's group. They were also outnumbered about 3 to 1. Each of them put their hands up and moved close to each other in the middle of the room. "Well. This just sucks." Dave stated, yet gave a smirk.
