- ``As far as I see, all in position and no target on sight yet!'' - The Dark Knight's voice sounded in my ears, without any interference, just as if he was over my shoulder speaking directly at me.
- ``These head sets are nice! You get any more gadgets for your field trips?'' - I touched also my collar, testing it.
- ``The lady wants to chit chat... What a wonder!'' - Akita answered with a smiling voice in a tease.
My body relaxed as I felt connected to my two trusting friends and I knew Sonya was safely away. This of course dissipated as soon as a new sound met my ears. -``They changed route! I see the cars and they are in a parallel route to the right!'' - Bleach eyes voice was calm, but unsteady as air left his lungs in pulses, he was probably running on roof tops and gliding in between them.
- ``Copy that! We will engage on the other road side, inverting direction now!'' - Akita's voice sounded serious and professional, I could only imagine the whole of them in the car laughing deeply from the diaphragm at this, as soon as he released the collar speaking button. A shame filled my chest, as if I had cheated him out of his childhood and carelessness.
- ``OK! We are prepared for this, we need no visual from the coffee shop, as long as the Elasticman is accurate enough with his timing!''
- ``I heard that! I am all ready, steadying the green light on the secondary road, and ready to change to red, on your rude sign. And I prefer Mr. keys, if you don't mind.'' - A voice echoed in our ears.
- ``Have you been hacking our speaking channel?'' - Bleach eyes asked?
- ``Well! What else was I to do? We have been here for seven minutes and it could prove useful! Besides it wasn't difficult after seeing the wavelength position in your ear, I figured it would be encrypted, so I used a code breaker for the last 5 min and had luck.''
- ``Good job! I hope you consider joining the elite once this is over... provided you pass the psych test!'' - He continued in plane amazement! I didn't even know he was capable of such, turns out he was just hard to impress. - ``Surprised by the abilities of common mortals, are we?'' - I replied in silence to this distant conscience that haunted on my back.
- ``They will probably still change to this street in the end. '' - He changed the subject, pointing out the main reason why we chose this road for the ambush! We knew there were several possible ways to this road, but mainly this one was always used for the final destination, and only avoided on purpose in case our intent or one equivalent was revealed.
-``Now!'' - The Dark Knight exclaimed steady but firmly.
-``Now?'' - the babysitter for the night answered with a pinch of panic!
-``You heard the man. Now!'' - Elasticman answered. It was tormenting to observe blindly the fast events, ignorant of what our boys were going through.
We heard tires screaming at the asphalt and a crash at the end of the road our small alley ended on. I jumped to the ground and moved fast to the edge of the light where the alley met the remaining lamp light, always followed by this hollow shadow of Bleach Eyes. If all had gone well Spikes and his troops of four were arguing with the frontal escort of the fortified black limousine, since it crashed against their car when the light suddenly turned red. And the limo and its rare escort should cautiously continue course avoiding any un-pleasantries.
My heart jumped like it had a trampoline under its childish feet, trying to free itself from the tense prison my body presented. I could hear his heart racing too and feel his breath on the top of my hair. He watched unchanged the road. I could feel the warmth of his chest near my back and that confused me and bothered me in a strange way.
I was so nervous I jumped when the limo and an armed car turned to our road and he grabbed my shoulders literally sweeping me off my feet. It was the second time I lost my weight this way and it hadn't become any more comfortable or any less innerving, even considering it was part of the plan and I should be expecting it.
After hovering a few seconds - ``Are you sure you weigh what you said?''
- ``That is no comment towards a lady!'' - I frowned gracefully, considering whether I had eaten too much? Anxiety had often that effect on me and to avoid complex calculations I actually had given him my exact weight on the day he questioned me. I measured as soon as I could and answered.
Then in a fast swift we were hovering five meter in the air and I was dropped a few seconds-of-human-response in front of the limo. The car breaks once more belted their cry on the fair street asphalt. By the time, another impact was felt on its back making it move even closer to me, Bleach Eyes had landed on the limo's top, craved a huge knife and cut a half-meter square on its roof top, as if it were not reinforced. He had showed me the knife before. It had a thick handle where you would charge the heavy helium cell battery. Mounted on this handle was a thick blade with sharp diamond covered teeth. Attached to the row of teeth was a thin saw also with a layer of diamond that would move back and forth. I jumped instinctively with the approaching of the limo curling in the air and landing with my feet on its roof.
My back hurt as they scraped on the limo's improvised roof entry bent in by my weight at the speed of my fall, after Bleach eyes compromised its structure. My feet found the limo's floor and my face was projected in the direction of an unfriendly face. I found my balance and twisted my body to the side, rotating and landing on his comfortable back seat.
I could hear trouble outside and a lot of people screaming. The driver attempted to comment, but between the bent roof and the noise outside I could only hear. - ``Sir... alright... b... there?'' in an urgent tone.
Trying to hide my bare feet which returned to their normal shape before they could be noticed. In my best highly elastic blue jeans -because I was in need of comfort for such a task-, and my pink tank top-to transmit some harmless innocence- I faced this middle age man on my side and I smiled. - ``I am really sorry for this sir!''
- ``You are sorry? Do you know who I am? This is a federal offense. You don't know the meaning of sorry yet.'' - He kept a clear and stable voice and his face wouldn't betray his emotions. Unfortunately, as a wolfwoman I could smell his fear as soon as the roof cave and I could tell it reduced slightly with his continuous study of me.
- ``Indeed, but we feared for your safety and we will explain everything as soon as you are in a safe place! Please understand that as responsible citizens we found that it was our obligation to oppose any threat planed against you. Consider me as your personal citizen patrol watcher. Considering your escort, we are obviously far more qualified anyway.'' - I tried to smile, but the air was tense and he was stiffly considering his surroundings.
His face raged as he shouted now at me, with the understanding of what this was about. - ``You animals! You only show me right! Have you any idea of what you just did?''
The door of the car opened and my false controlled ease was substituted by real calmness as a dark long hand gestured gently to help me out.
- ``Please be kind enough to come with us, I promise we intent you no harm, much on the contrary we suspect you are in grave danger escorted by these humans on a sleeping road at this hour.'' - I continued to the indelicate person, as I extended my hand to my Dark Knight and waltzed elegantly out of the car with a sweat smile. I knew any demonstration of nerves could increase his eagerness, increasing the number of possible problems or dangerous reactions.
