Paper Planes

FOURTEEN

"Bang, bang, bang, bang."

Las Vegas, 3:37am

"Kana, be careful as you get up to the roof, okay? We don't need any injuries before this thing starts" Sasha tells Asuka as everyone was on their way to the premises that was located near the middle of nowhere for pretty obvious reasons.

Asuka looks at Sasha with a thoughtful expression on her face as she thought of the right words to put together before switching to a small squint and eventually laughing almost hysterically.

"No!" Asuka laughed more, "I am not safe, but I will stay quiet!" She opens up her eyes with a determined look, putting her finger over her lips.

Sasha sighs with a small nod of her head as Asuka keeps a smile of excitement on her face, rustling through the bag she brought with her for things she would need since she would be going in first.

Becky said she didn't have a plan, but she had no choice but to make an entrance as they talked through plans on the way there.

It's not like they could knock on the door and ask to shoot them all up.

Regardless of the circumstances, silence was not the answer tonight.

She had been sitting in silence the entire ride out with her head down, sunken in her thoughts of how she thought things would be going before finally deciding to break her own silence.

"Does everybody have the light patch so we can see each other through the smoke?" Becky asked in an almost monotone tone of voice.

Abruptly to everyone else taking into consideration the fact she had been completely mute the entire time, they gave her brief nods and quiet confirmations, letting her see what she wanted to see.

Becky mumbled something in response. She had to mask her nerves and thought she was doing pretty well at that. She just had to focus.

Staying silent and withdrawing herself from the people around her was her way of focusing.

This was her first official action post blessing at the top of the mountain and she did not want to fuck it up because she couldn't afford to fuck it up.

"All of you, listen up for a second. We all need to know a couple things before we go in." Becky announced, snapping her fingers a few times to bring attention to herself.

"Lacey, the doors. Run us through that again" she gestured her fingers with a motion of moving forward.

"Um, the doors lock on the inside so no threat can get in, the windows lock outside so threats can't get out." Lacey nods as she tried to remember the layout of the house, squeezing her hands together anxiously.

"And they can be locked at the same time?" Becky asked as she carefully slid a pair of gloves over her hands and flexing them so they fit comfortably.

"Yes, and the windows are near unbreakable in case of—well, situations like these" Lacey nods her head again, "It's very simple. The room to control all that stuff is right behind the dropping point."

"Good, everybody remember that." Becky blindly points around to reference them all.

"Asuka, after you drop, do your thing to kick this off. Pam, you got that too? Head straight for that room and take care of business with all the exit points, understood?"
