Rogue

Chapter 4:

"Oh no you don't" Payton muttered, she quickly slipped through the crowd, and approached Jake before he could reach the exit.

"What is she doing...?" Alpha asked, taking a step towards her. Andrew grabbed him by the arm before he could take another step.

"Let her, I think she's onto something..."

Alpha sighed and nodded towards Jake and his companion.

"Let's go."

"Care to dance?" Payton's voice was soft, and she smiled as she lightly grabbed Jake's arm.

After a moment's hesitation- in which he carefully assessed Icy- Jake grinned broadly, slipping an arm lightly around her waist.

"After you darling," He purred.

Swallowing her disgust, Payton led him to the dance floor, being sure to keep an eye on her target's movements.

"Keep an eye on the exit," Ignoring the hushed protests of his companion, Andy slipped away from his friend and subtly approached the girl beside Jacob... he was curious to see where she stood with Jake and his minion.

Their little arguement died down.. but the girl threw sharp glares at Jacob every so often, and stood a distance away from him, arms crossed.

Making to walk past the pair, Andy casually bumped into Jacob, subtly knocking Jay's hidden gun at his waist come loose and fall on the ground.

The girl's gaze caught the move and she froze instantly, realization laced in her expression.

As Andrew causally leaned down to pick the weapon up, she backed up against the far wall, making herself as hidden as possible.

"Oh my bad.. let me just." Picking up the weapon, Andrew held it out to a startled Jacob.

"This yours..?"

"Yeah..." Jacob cast a glance towards a nearby group of people, quickly reaching for the weapon in an attempt to hide it, but Andy used the distraction and hooked his leg around Jacob's- tripping him, making him tumble right into a near by cocktail table.

Despite the loud music, Nearby heads turned towards the 2 boys at the sound of the crash.

"Oh no..sorry about that." Andrew gave a sorry smile and reached out a hand to Jacob, who took it.. only to get a handcuff clamped firmly around his wrist..

"Nothing to see here ladies and gentlemen! My friend here is just a little drunk..." Andy made sure to hide the handcuffs from view as he turned to Jay's glare and grinned, Andy gripped Jay's arm firmly and signaled Alpha. Together, the two boys quickly transported their hostage to an empty ballroom.

"You're under arrest." Andrew declared as he shoved Jay towards a table.

Alpha left the ballroom and headed back to Payton as backup.

"Not this time..." Jacob muttered, he leaned back on the table and used both legs to kick Andrew into the opposite wall before Andrew could handcuff Jacob to one of the table legs.

Andrew's gun clattered to the floor feet away from Jacob.

"I have no plan on getting caught..." Jacob casually picked up the fallen gun and pointed it at Andy's chest, slowly backing Andy towards the wall.

Cornered, Andrew checked his options.

But right as he opened his mouth to speak, a low voice echoed through the ballroom.
