Midnight, San Joaquin Building
It was already past twelve but everyone inside the building was still awake. All of them were wearing a full-gear combatant attire with a high caliber rifles. Some of them were running rounds around the building and some were keeping an eye on certain rooms. One of the rooms was dimly lit aside from the center where it was flashed by a bright spotlight.
Alice knew that this room was personally designed to detain people. She's been inside the room for hours now and still hasn't managed to escape. How can she escape if she was tied up side down by those freaks! All methods she knew to persuade them were all in vein. Even an offer of a big sum was declined without any second thought. They've been ignoring her, yet still all eyes on her.
"Don Theodore has arrived!" A man with the same uniform loudly shouted.
With just the mention of the old man's arrival every guards have form a line at the corridors. Alice knew what will happen if she was to be seen by that man. She has to escape no matter what but the ties just keeps on tightening whenever she move. This is impossible! If she keeps on trying to escape then she will end up hurting her wrists and ankles but if she were also not to do anything, she might end up in the deep sea with cracked bones.[1]
Left with no other choice, Alice bend her body to touch her knees however a sharp object cut the ties that restrains her to move. With just the sight of the dagger that's been struck on top of the wooden table with a phoenix's head engraved on it, she already knew that they were now here to rescue her. She looked at the direction were the dagger came from and saw a silver object shinning in the dark.
Thank goodness they're here.
When she looked at her wrists she saw a violet line of bruises like an emerald bracelet around it. These men inside this building don't have any moral to tie up a girl with such rudeness. Her arms and knees don't have much strength to take a step for being tied up side down for such a long span of time but she have to. Even her head seemed to be smashed by a hard object.
Dizzily, Alice silently walked towards where the light comes from. Just as she was about to reach the area where her team are, a man suddenly shouted in great volume.
"They have escaped!"
Bullshit! As she reached the place, a man with a silver piercing of a crow throw her a CZ-75 pistol. As per her mannerism she then quickly checked the gun if it's fully loaded before turning her head into them.
"Do everything to escape. Kill if you have to, don't die. Let's meet at the nearest pier."
"Ali you have to remove that coat. They will recognize you easily. And... wear this." Vulture then gave her a silver mask just like what they're wearing.
"Sparrow and Hawk give those men some good show while we're assisting Ali to exit the building. Crow; block all the cameras on our way. Ali still can't run because of her leg." Falcon instructed while cleaning his dagger. Their team used code names of bird to hide their identity except Alice for being their superior.
"Okay, now let's move!"
Sparrow and Hawk, the girls of the team, then purposefully stepped on a barrel to make some noise. As they've expected a gunshot was shoot at their position but they dodge it and land on another barrel. They have to keep this up until Phoenix and Falcon manage to escape Ali at a safe spot.
The combatants can't see where their actual position is so they just keep on shooting in different area as possible. With this state, they've been wasting their bullets nonstop and creating a great advantage on them. Sparrow and Hawk just keep on dodging the bullets without any single bullet wasted.
