                                                              ~Chapter 13: Two Silvers~

I rode my way over through the trees and to the base where me and Devi would meet. I was preparing to say something as I came about her, but I froze. It was then that I realized I never really paid any mind to her appearance, but her hair was dyed black with a blue stripe, the moon reflected in her Sapphire eyes, juicy red lips. I suddenly felt like a child in the wrong place, I laughed to myself when I realized that I thought of Kira the same way, "Aren't you stunning?" I said as I lightly caressed her in my arms.

She almost immediately turned around,

"If you like the way I look then why don't we head out then?" She said in her always confident voice.

She reached into my pocket and grabbed the hover-cube,"This is going to be awesome." She activated the board and sat on one end leaving me the remainder of the board to steer. After some amazing driving by me [lies] we entered the restaurant. Almost immediately I noticed she had started to blush. I traced the direction of her eyes and realized there is a massive crowd here.

She talks a lot of game, but she's shy. Awww, I won't tell her I noticed.

we sat at a table and Devi began staring off into the menu. I noticed a waiter whisper and point in our direction as he began to approach us.

"What will you- woah no way dude Darren it's me Yoshi!" Devi seemed completely uninterested in our "greeting". He whispered into my ear, "Is that your date?" I nodded. He brushed my shoulder and then switched on the professionalism, and by that I mean nearly knocked the candle over onto Devi's chest. I used my catlike reflexes and caught it between my fingertips.

Now, he turned on the professionalism, " Ahem, what are you going to order?"

Devi spoke first, "I'll just have Ai frutti di Mare."

Well then Ms. Italy, trying to show me up.

"And for you?" Said Yoshi, turning to me.

"The Cacciatore please."

"Your Italian sounds like French."

I glared at her.

"Refreshments?" Asked Yoshi, obviously following some protocol, as he began to smile brightly.

"Red wine!" we both exclaimed. We high-fived

"Great minds think alike!" She laughed.

We were served our food, and before we started I broke the iced awkward silence,

"What's your real name?"

"Guess." Devi replied.

"Piace Vole."

"Ahaha, I see what you did there."

"But no, Deviani James."

"And your assassin name is Devi? That's not very creative.."

Devi laughed, "Shut up!"

"How long have you and the gang been doing this?" I asked.

She had already taken her first bite. "Well, Me, Titan, Snake, Reaper, and Beast, have been in the business for years now."

"Not dead yet?" I played around with her.

"Umm, no.. listen Nov- I mean Darren, everyone in the clan thinks your like this invincible bigshot, but I don't think this was a good idea," Devi said, obviously concerned,

"What do you mean?" I was playing stupid, I knew exactly what she meant. She wanted me to quit.

"What I mean is," Devi bit her lip, "You shouldn't be so content with this lifestyle already. People die here. We've all got to the level we're at because of the riots but, we've started doing this whole assassin thing while you still were spray-painting walls. I already got-" she paused. "Holy shi..your hand!"

I looked at my more severely injured hand the scar is definitely permanent.

"Nova, we need to go, like now."

"What's going on?"

I stood up.

"Poison members, we leave now!"

Bullets flew from the other side of the room, the entire restaurant fled.

In typical villain fashion, they blindly fired and missed all their shots, and now me and Devi were under the wood table.

"I'm not running out of her with a limp leg, and stilettos!" She whispered.

"Why would you wear s-"

"Now's not the time for questions!" Devi whispered

"Ok, get behind me as if we were riding a motorcycle."

We both knelt, she got behind me. I slid the cube down in front of me. I pressed the button and held it down.

I inched out and flew by, and kicked the nearest assailant off his feet
