Chapter 21: Separate Action

DJ, Bronx and Kala enter the grocery store

DJ: "Alright. Get what you want, we meet back here in 5. Bronx, try to hide the fact you're a walking polly"

Bronx: "Yeah yeah, i know. This isn't my first time going out in public"

As they wander, everyone splits off to grab their snacks. DJ grabs some biscuits and chips from the aisle. He wanders around the store for a bit and looks at the fridges. As he walks down, he bumps into a girl who was wearing a hat and the 2 of them fall to the floor. The hat fell off the girl. As DJ looks up he sees the girl.

DJ: "Sorr-"

As DJ looks at the girl, he notices her pointy ears and silver hair. The girl is dazed but comes to her senses.

DJ: "An Elf?"

The girl says nothing before getting up and running off into the store. DJ tries to call her back but fails and decides to not bother. He grabs his stuff and returns to the rendezvous point.

The crew cash out and exit the store. DJ thinks about what he saw but decides to ignore it.

Bronx: "Sweet. Told you guys this was a good idea"

DJ: "Just don't eat up all of it, there's a lot of us you know"

Bronx: "Griz is more likely to eat up everything. Then again, she only eats meat and sweet treats so some of these she'll probably stay away from"

Kala: "He's right"

As they walk, DJ eyes an outfit on display at a clothing store. He remembers how AJ is still in prison clothes

DJ: "Yo guys"

The other 2 stop and turn towards him

DJ: "AJ is still in his prisoner clothes. I already ditched mine and Kala modified hers. Maybe we should get him a fit"

Bronx: "Sounds like a good idea"

Kala: "I guess we can use what we haven't from the grocery store. Mr. Wei was really kind for leaving some for us with a sticky note"

DJ: "It's almost as if he knew we'd end up in this situation"

Bronx: "I find him strange sometimes. Anyway, run in and get the outfit. I needa get home so i can enjoy some AC. Its hot out here. And its only spring"

DJ: "Welcome to paradise"

DJ walks in the store. After a few minutes, he exits out with the same outfit

DJ: "Alright, this is better than that white jumpsuit"

Kala: "It looks good"

Bronx: "Word"

The 3 hop back into the sedan and drive off. After they enter the highway, Kala notices something strange.

Kala: "Guys, that suv been trailing us for a while now"

DJ: "Could be a coincidence"

Bronx: "I see him. There's another one similar closeby"

One of the suvs overtake the other and start to close in. When they roll down the window close behind him, SIC agents are seen.

Bronx: "Shit"

Bronx speeds up. DJ immediately reaches for the bag. He gives Kala her gun and grabs a pistol instead of his KKT

DJ: "Hold her steady cause its finna get rocky"

Dired, Griz, Archimedes & Kiki drive on the road towards the hotel. Suddenly, a mist forms around airport road, close to where the SIC bodies were.

Kiki: "Was this mist always here?"

Dired: "No...its strange. There's normally no mist at this time of day. But i'm still able to see to drive"

Archimedes: "Something tells me this is no ordinary mist"

Griz: "Weren't the bodies in this area? We picked up Kiki here"

Dired suddenly looks around and listens as he slows down

Dired: "It is.......Hold on, somethings infront of us"

Dired stops the car. Infront of him stands what appears to be the figure of a young girl. But there was something unusual

Griz: "Go around her. Its strange why she'd be in the fog though"

Dired: "No...she's doing something"

Dired senses something as she disappears into the mist

Dired: "EVACUATE THE CAR"

Archimedes grabs the laptops, Griz grabs her and Dired's gun and everyone runs out. When they run, a bolt of black lightning hits the SUV, damaging the front

Dired: "Shit"

Archimedes: "Everyone stay close. Dired, see if you can sense where she is"

They form a defensive position. A voice is heard infront

S######: "Pleased to meet you"

S######: "Its been so boring out here. I'm really glad you came along"
