Twin Attack

Chapter 7

I'm finally updating! Sorry for making you all wait...

Also, I have changed Ali's hood colour from purple to navy blue, its a more natural colour and purple seems to bright and girly for my liking.

And I know - its not a long chapter, just bear with me!

"Where to?" Diggle asks glancing at us in the rear view mirror.

I look at Oli, and tilt my head when he looks. He shrugs.

"We just want to drive around, become familiar with all the areas again," I answer.

"Can you take us through the run down area of Starling? It's more peaceful there," Oli ads. Diggle nods, and starts to drive out our driveway. Time to put our skills to the test.

Once we're a good half a kilometre from the old Queen Consolidated, we decide its about the right time to leave, I glance at Oli and he nods in agreement.

"I never expected people like you to come h--" but before Diggle could finish his sentence, we are out the car and out of sight. We can hear the tyres screech to a stop on Diggle's car, but we ignore it and continue on to the old Queen Consolidated building. 

We throw the bags over the 15ft fence, then jump onto a nearby dumpster and over the fence ourselves. There are pamphlets of dad's old business littered everywhere inside the building, bringing back old memories of coming here with dad - even though both Oli and I hated it back then, we really only came here for the soda. I smiled at the memory. But Oli and I had a lot of work to do, so we started. We made a hole in the floor, opening up to the basement then attached a pulley to the roof to lower our equipment to the basement. Once everything was down, we jumped down ourselves and started setting up. We set up the salmon ladder in the middle of the room, a circle of tables surrounded it. Some had computers on it, some had knifes, some had arrows. The last table was our sharpening table, where we sharpened our weapons.

After everything was setup to our liking, we took out our tennis ball machine. Oli went first, I put ten tennis balls into the opening, Oli took out his first bow, then let it go. Second, third fourth and so on. Each arrow landed in the wall with a tennis ball skewered onto the end. He didn't miss one. I was up next, I hooked ten throwing knives onto my belt, and nodded in Oli's direction informing him I was ready. The balls flew out the machine at an amazing race, I threw the knives, and just like Oli, impaled every one first try. 

The story we told the police was true. The two people in the hood were there that day in the warehouse, and they're just getting started.

We stationed around, using our surroundings to train. I'd hang from one of the pipes on the ceiling doing different moves in the air, while Oli would go up and down on the salmon ladder, then we'd swop. Then we'd do hand-to-hand combat against each other. We did this for most of the day, we needed to stay top of our game.

We arrived home at about 4 o'clock to a frantic mum.

"There you are! I've been worried sick about you!" She exclaims. We give her a confused glance.

"Diggle came home earlier, saying you were in the back seat one second, then you were just... gone," she explained. Whoops?

"We're sorry," Oli answered.

"We're still getting used to being around other people, we got overwhelmed and we needed to be alone for a while," I add on to Oli's comment.

"Very well then. But please, next time take Diggle?" She pleads. This was an argument Oli and I weren't going to win.

"Fine, next time Dig will come along? Happy now?" I huff.

"Thank you," mum says straightening her skirt. "Also, Walter and I would love for you two to come by the office some time soon." I glance over at Oli, guess that couldn't be too bad. I shrug at him.

"Sure. Why not?" Oli answers. With that, we go back to our rooms to continue our plan to have a 'chat' with Adam Hunt. But not even 10minutes into our planning Tommy decides to pop over and start organising our... welcome home bash? Typical Tommy, he's already planning to get drunk. 

"So. Where are we having this?" Tommy asks. I think about this for a second before an amazing idea pops into my head. I jump off my bed and over to my computer and open google images.

"What are you doing Ali?" Oli asks.

"One seccy," I reply. I type in Adam Hunt's office building, and just like I suspected theres a perfect building for a party across the road from it. I call the boys over to the computer.

"What about here?" I ask, pointing at the building across from Adam Hunt's. I can see that Oli has already figured out its across from Adam Hunt's office building.

"I think its perfect," Oli says.

"Quite random, but I like it," Tommy smirks.

We keep on planning until about 5:30 ish.

"Hey Tommy. I'm quite tired. Can you do the rest? I think I'm gunna have an early night?" I say.

"Yeh sure, not much left to do anyway. Cya Ali, cya Oli," he replies kissing me on the cheek then leaving the room. When he's out of hearing I look in Oli's direction. He nods. Its time to confront Adam Hunt.
