[SIZE=1]ooc: gah! I need a break from life, to many whirlwinds, sorry bout the lack of posts...again...

A lonely, dark shape flitted from alley to alley, ducking into and behind the mountainous piles of garbage to hide himself from searching eyes. Korbin breathed deeply, trying not to gag on the stench emanating from the refuse. He wasn't to much farther from the old 'fair grounds'. How ironic...the fair grounds were once a place of joy and relaxation for all. Now they were used in ghost stories and threats by mothers to keep their out of hand children in line.

The apc rolled by, the large Aros symbol gleamin almost proudly on it's side, rolled by, along with a compliment of cyber units. Now was as good a time as any to get his ass in gear. Out of the alleyway he darted, shooting behind the trops as they continued their patrol un-aware of the Caladbolg agent.
His boots clunked heavily on the pavement as he sprinted, turning through the maze like set up between the buildings. He skid to a halt, nearly running over a bandaged Olivia.
"You almost got yourself killed doing that!" Turning about at the harsh whisper, Korbin spied Trey seemingly blend within the shadows. A small rock flew from the dark corner, pegging Korbin's forehead. Reeling with pain, his hands clasped his bruised head.
"What the hell was that for!"
"That was for sending me with oogie and his crazed apprentice!" Ending it there she gently scooped up Olivia. "She should be waking up soon. How far to the Grounds?" Still holding his head He turned to look the direction they needed to go.
"Not much farther, but we shouldn't go in with Olivia unconcious, we'd be hamburger long before hammett came about."
"Where to then." they both kept looking around, hearing the sirens and voices barking out order over megaphones as they went.
"there's a safe house we can wait in for at least an hour or too, it's not occupied as far as I know. And it's on the way."
Nodding their agreements to the idea, both ran down the alley, trading Olivia between the two of them when the load became to heavy. When the rounded a particular bend, Korbin stopped at a pile of garbage, one of the black bags had a tattered slip of paper stuck to it with what they both hoped was just melted cheese.
The paper had a picture of an ancient sword on it. Trey grinned, happy for a short break.
They both pulled a number of bags aside, carefully enough so as to not bring the whole mountain down on them. Trey was the first to spy the red door with a black caladbolg symbol burned into it.
Climbing over, she swung the door open, it's hinges complaining of old age. Korbin slid Liv over as best as he could.
"Hurry! there's a potrol coming down the alley. A sense of fear overcame them both. Korbin dove over the pile, grabbing as many bags as possible to restack in front of the door. Trey closed the door as soon as he stepped back. The both of them prayed, sweating in the dark, that the soldiers hadn't heard.[/SIZE]

Olivia felt the throbing pain everywhere at first, then slowly it focused into central locations, the left shoulder, the abdomen, and her legs. She opened her eyes slowly and immediately became confused as to where she was. Her sight was slightly blurry but began to return as she focused her eyes on the ceiling. It was dark in this room, and she would have spoke out was it not for the hand placed over her mouth. Her heart beat increased unsure of who the hand had belonged to, then the familiar voice of Korbin rang in her ears and she began to calm herslef.

"Shhh, its alright. Its just me and Trey. We're currently in a safe house, we'll be leavingshortly to find Hammet." His voice was a hushed tone. Olivia sat up slowly after Korbin removed his hand, every ounce of pain returned as she did so.

"How long was I out?" She asked through gritted teeth, realizing that leaning on her left arm was not a bright idea.

"A little over an hour, you're lucky I found you when I did, you were a disaster Liv." Trey replied quietly, placing a gentle hand on Olivia's good shoulder.

"According to what Trey told me, you could be dead now if it had been any longer. How far did you run in your conditionn kid?"

"3o minutes I think. I didn't do a lot of thinking." Olivia stated. "I was ran into by a small troop of 5 Aros. soliders, I was able to take out 4 of them with a price. I don't know what happened to the 5th, but obviously I'm not super human. I certainly didn't get out of it unscathed. So whats our next course of action, how we going to go about finding Hammet now?"


OOC: I know its short... I'm sorry!

"I hope no one takes offence to this, but since we're in a relatively safe spot, I think we need a little down time." Trey suggested. " If Vic knew where Hammet is, then Hammet knows we're looking for him. He'll lay as low to the ground as an earthworm, but he won't go far from the fair grounds."

"What do you mean, down time?" Olivia murmured.

"Well, I don't know about imperious leader here, but the closest thing to sleep that I've had in the last 36 hours is a shower. If I don't rest soon, my body is going to start malfunctioning in all sorts of ways that I can't control. Micro-implants need time to self-repair every so often, I've discovered to my chagrin." Trey sighed. "Besides, Liv's insides need a chance to make a little more blood. Right now she's as empty as a vampire victim."

"Great, I'm a victim of something new. Gotta put that on my resume." Liv grumbled back.

"We can't take much time." Korbin warned.

"I'm not asking for much time, just a hour or two. The last thing we need is my arms and legs giving out just as Murphy's Law kicks in." Trey continued to joke, but her voice was sounding more and more listless. She took off what was left of her jacket and put it over Liv's shoulders. "There should be more between you and the night air."

"What about you and your night air?" Liv aksed.

"I'm not suffering from holes all over my body. They let the cold in more." Was Trey's smart reply. Liv shrugged, but didn't take the jacket off.

"Fine, two hours, or whenever company shows up. That's all you get." Korbin decided. "I'll wake you whenever one of the two reasons shows up."

"Thanks." Trey said greatfully. She curled up on the floor next to the big man and tiny lady and immediately dozed off.
