Only misfortune for their opponents is that they became their opponents.

She let the horse be and ran to the first stairs leading to the underground, she found. She was supposed to listen to her intuition and come back as soon as possible.

"Damn!" She dodged the surprised guards and slipped down the handrail. Levi cursed silently, because, as always, she didn't realize the danger, she was running towards again. He knocked down both guards and ran down the stairs, too. The voice of the whistle sounded urgently. The tiny girl exchanged a musical instrument for a weapon and now, she was blowing poisoned arrows into the thugs, which climbed to her on the roof.

"Boss! Finally! I ran from the stairs to the stairs, but I couldn't find you! "

"What the fuck is happening here?" Theia pulled out two daggers, she threw up to the height, knocking out two unknown men out of the roof. They fell to the ground and their skulls crushed.

"Zachary! He attacked the shelter! He had a huge superiority, most of us have been captured long ago," Lahja told her, and slipped on the roof herself to skillfully bounce off the wall to hit the ground just in front of her superior.

"How could they know where we are hiding?" Theia asked just in the moment she noticed a group of other criminals running in their direction, while looking around. "Where is Asher?" She asked and hid behind the wall of the building, but after a few seconds of silence she lowered her angry look to Lahja. "I'm asking you. Where is Asher?! "

"Hey!" Levi reached her shoulder, with the intention to calm her down a little because he was very aware of how dangerously impulsive she could be. Theia exhaled and put a nail to her lips while crouched to hide from the pursuers as best as possible.

"Are you the only one who managed to escape?" She asked a little bit calmer now.

"No. The others regrouped into the backup shelter as you ordered. Should I call them? "

"No," Theia immediately objected, "let them move to the former Aldrik's hiding place," Levi defended the pair of girls and looked around the corner of the building at the criminals who turned the surroundings upside down just to find them. He carefully pulled out the dagger, placed under Theia's knee.

"Why there?" Lahja asked surprised and watched how Theia pulled a short knife hidden on her wrist.

"Because it's not our hiding place. No one will wait for us there. Neither Asher. Sorry, I should have listened to your doubts and I'm also sorry for this," she reached Lahja's hand to pull her thumb from the other fingers and stabbed the tip of knife three times there. Lahja frowned in pain, but didn't resist. Theia wiped out blood to make sure the wounds were visible. "Run to the former Rat's mansion. In the kitchen there are stairs that lead to the surface. You will find yourself in the herb store. Show this to the man who is working there. Tell him that I am sending you and that I need his help immediately," Lahja nodded, hiding the thumb in her palm. "I'm sorry, Lahja. I didn't want you to get into the danger," Theia stroked her head gently, but the kid laughed cheerfully.

"You are wrong, boss. My life was never so funny like now," she put the whistle along with the weapon behind her belt and said goodbye by gently waving. Theia watched her fading silhouette, hoping for her safe journey. But she was forcibly pulled out from her thoughts by two thugs, who immediately started to chase Lahja. Levi ran after them, skillfully bounced off the wall and kicked both of them with a hard shot. When he pushed one of them to the ground, the bullets from the gun forced him to let the man be and hide behind the building. The streets were empty, except for homeless people trembling one next to another. To drag the attention from Lahja, Levi kicked to one of the containers and grabbed Theia's hand. Together they ran towards the hiding place, persecuted by Zachary's people.
