I'll Be The One

ACT 33

Katarina and Sarah half-jumped when they heard a loud gunshot sound a few cars away from them. Sarah tried looking over her shoulder to see if Caitlyn and Vi are still on their tail, but when she did, various vehicles blocked her view. She couldn't even catch a glimpse of Vi's pink hair.

"We lost Caitlyn and Vi!" Sarah shouted through the whooshing air.

"What!?" Katarina asked back in shock.

They saw Leona's car decrease its current speed until the said vehicle was driving at their left. The front passenger seat's mildly tinted window rolled down, revealing Fiora and Leona.

"What was that?" The Laurent questioned. "There was a gunshot!"

"Sarah, was it you?" They heard Leona ask.

"No, it wasn't me!"

"Katarina!" Leona called. "Drive ahead, so we can keep track of you both."

Katarina nodded before she accelerated.

Ashe silently fiddled with her fingers while she sat in front of Kalista's desk. The said woman is currently looking over a few files given to her by a man earlier. From what she heard, he went by the name Xerath.

"You graduated high school as top of your batch?"

Ashe snapped her attention to Kalista, eyes slightly wide in surprise. The older female's gaze didn't leave the papers on her desk though.

"Umm, yes, I did."

"You are skilled in archery, correct?"

She nodded, and based from the low hum Kalista made, she saw her gesture.

"You were engaged to the heir of the Helkein Industry, but the wedding was called off." Kalista stated.

She didn't really know what to say to that, so she just nodded her head again.

"Hmm..."

"Kalista,"

Ashe looked away from Kalista and turned her head to her right, spotting Rengar approaching them with a smirk on his face. Kalista took her reading glasses away from her face and placed it on top of the pile of files.

"What is it, Rengar?"

"My men are back, and they have her."

"Her?" Ashe suddenly blurted out.

Kalista smirked and stood up from her chair. "Tell Karthus."

Rengar nodded and left without question. Ashe warily watched Kalista as she walked around the desk. Kalista stopped in front of her and ushered her to stand up and follow with a simple wave of a hand. Wordlessly, she stood up and trailed just behind the older woman.

They climbed down the stairs and passed a few loitering outlaws before they exited the warehouse. Kalista led her to a make-shift parking outside the warehouse. When they approached a black van, they found Rengar and Karthus already there. With them, is a pair of brawny men. One looked quite proud, while the other looked pained as he clutched one of his wrists.
