Dynamax Chronicles

"Shhhh, they're comin'." In a sort of panic to shut me up, she grabbed my head and stuffed my face on her chest. Of course, the only thing I could do was to keep quiet and not make obvious movements, otherwise I'd end up escalating my already precarious situation. A few minutes pass by and the sound of footsteps disappeared into the distance. Fortunately, the guards hadn't noticed us hunched down beside the crates and continued on with their patrol.

"Tha' was close, wuzinit?" She seemed to relax; I could tell from the way her chest eased up as she breathed out a long sigh. Yet instead of replying to her, all I could think of were the soft, ample mounds that were squished against my face, and her alluring scent that kept invading my nostrils.

"I knew this wou'n't be easy, but I di'n't think the security would be this tight. Now wha' are we supposed to do?" I wanted to answer, I really did, but the things in front of me wouldn't allow it; how awkward would it be to open my mouth in such a dangerous place, so yet again I had to keep quiet.

"...Ray..?" This time she called my name. Still, I couldn't respond.

"...you a'right?" Her words came with a bit of worry now. "Why are you so...quiet?"

Finally, she loosened her pull on my head, and I slowly lifted my face away from her chest; perhaps it was out of guilt or maybe just embarassment, but by then, I couldn't manage to look at her eye to eye, which seemed to only confuse her.

"Is sumthin' the matter..?"

"Well..." I managed to open my mouth and answer this time. "I just didn't think it would be proper to talk when I was in such a...provocative place."

"Provocative...?" She seemed confused at first, then finally realized as she looked down at her chest. "...ahh."

"Well le's jus' call tha' a free sample, shall we?" She gave me a wink. "Do well, and you might ge' the whole package next time."

I could hear her chuckle as she stood up, and patted off the dust on her backside. Of course she'd throw a dirty joke at it, because why not.

"So, now wha'?" She finally turns to me.

"Guess we'll just have to push forward. But I don't think we'll be able to just ghost our way over. We'll probably have to deal with the thugs sooner or later."

"So it seems." She looked disgruntled, but that soon changed to a look of determination. "Well a'right. I trust you to take care o' things if it comes down to tha'."

I smile. Although I was glad that she would put so much faith in me, it would still have been too dangerous to initiate every guard we pass by; I had to get us moving without being seen as much as I could. Thankfully, I found our magic ticket.

"What do you think about getting on top?" I pointed up towards the hatch on the ceiling. "They don't have patrols on the roofs for sure, but it might be a tad dangerous."

"Well it can't be more dangerous than facin' the dimwits head-on, can it?"

"True." I started climbing up the crates, opening the hatch just above the stack I was standing on. "Come on then, this way, missy."

"Missy?" She crossed her arms. "Tha's Miss Sonia to you, lad."

I rolled my eyes as I extended my hand, offering to pull her up. "Yes yes, Madamoiselle Sonia. Now may I have your hand, please."

"Well aren't you gettin' ahead of yourself? Askin' for my hand should come after the dates, Monseiur Ray." She couldn't hold back her laugh as she joined me above the crates. Soon after, we had made our way up to the hatch and outside.
