"Just how the hell are we going to get up there?" Dex asked as Johnny and Troy stood at the locked door of the alley.
Li was standing near them and looked around. She saw an open window on the second floor. "Leave it to me. I see an open window."
The three of them followed her gaze. Li pulled a set of claws from her pocket and slipped them on her hands. Gat watched her, "Fuck you think you doing?" Dex looked around for anyone coming up.
Li tightened the wrist straps, taking several steps back. She ran leaping wall to wall up to the window. They heard noises and a few minutes later, the small girl opened the door, letting them in.
The three of them gawked at her. "No shit." They collectively were stunned.
She just shrugged, "Movies, heh, they teach you something." Li hung her head, trying to hide her smile.
"You Bruce Lee cousin or something?" Troy asked as he went in. Li pointed at him, then closed her mouth.
"Anything else you should tell us?" Dex scowled at her on his way in.
The sounds of groaning trailed the path she took, claw marks on their faces. Gat pointed at her. "Stray cat."

Shots rang out rapidly. They had to duck for cover. The unarmed and armed needed to be dealt with quickly. They made each shot count, Li took out knees, "Don't kill them, we can use them. The hell am I saying? Gat I CAN'T DO THIS AGAIN!" Kyouki ducked for cover.
Groaning, Gat ran over to her and shielded her. "If you want to make it out of here, we are going to have to fight our way out." He harshly said over the sound of screaming and gunfire. Though he did as instructed, incapacitating them, not killing them outright, they lay moaning in pain and no longer shooting at them. "Listen up, if you want your life, get the fuck out of here NOW!" Gat demanded of the squatters, his voice echoing off the walls.
When it was over, Kyouki turned her angry honey eyes to the two standing Samedi members she didn't bother to injure. The young woman and man she left standing looked at her, almost pissing themselves. "And as for you, go to whoever your boss is and tell them not in my city." Remembering the dozens sitting strung out like zombies at the campus.
They both scurried off past her, tripping over their own feet. Li scratched her temple in thought, folding her arms across her chest. "Gat, how many people does it take to send a message?" Her head cocked to the side.
"One." he practically growled it out as his voice dropped an octave. Gat smirked. He fired one shot, the sound of one body hitting the pavement with a thud followed the other squealed as they hurried up the wooden planks.
She felt a tingle running through her when she heard him stopping right at her center. The sound of the gunfire caused her to jump. 'Fuck.'
"Good to have you back, Boss." Gat purred in her ear.
Ky closed her eyes. "Hm." A heavy sigh escaped her lips. She looked around, clearing her throat, hearing the sounds of those moaning in pain. She shook her head, reaching up, tied her hair back up into a sloppy bun.

They headed back up to the hotel lobby. Gat kicked a crate on its side, went and grabbed a wide tarp, laid it across the filthy couch. He sat propping his feet up.
"So whatchu think?" His hands resting behind his head.
Ky poked her head around the counter, heading back to where Gat was. "Is aight."
