RPG SYF: Special Youth Force: Garrotted Threats...

[liamc2]

OOC: Just keeping the other posters up to date
~~~~~

Siren swore and slammed the laptop onto the bonnet of the Hummer. Ryan was further ahead with a squad of SAS, trying to rescue a Hummer bogged down in mud.

Siren dialled up HQ. 'Adam? You there?'

'Yeah yeah, up all hours of the morning. What?'

'Can you reconsider sending us a squad of choppers? At this rate we won't get there for another two days! Assuming your maps are correct Adam.'

There was a sigh on the other end of the line, ''Fraid not Siren. You say what happened to our others. Pizaro has far more advanced air to air and ground to air than we cxould have ever imagined. To ship out the correct combination of defensive choppers could take weeks. You're better off playing it safe on the forest floor.'

Siren groaned. 'That's if we don't die out here first.'

Before Adam could reply, Siren slammed the laptop and briefcase shut and threw it into the back of her hummer.

Ryan and his squad gave a cheer as the hummer groaned and managed to crawl out of the mud and back onto the rock road. Ryan slopped over, lower body literally dripping the ancient gooze. He grinned at Siren and asked,

'So Adam given in yet?'

One look and Ryan knew the answer.

He slapped the hummer, 'Dammit! Why the hell not?'

'Too dangerous, they can't afford to risk it. Pizaro has too much unknown power.'

Ryan looked thoughtful. 'I suppose that's a good point. Still no excuse to let us get eaten alive- he slapped a mosquito- by these bugs.'

-------

Liam had dozed off again, the pains on his back had reduced to a mere surnburn like sting. He smiled softly and rose shakily to his feet.

'That wouldn't be wise, your glucose levels are pretty damn low, you don't want to fall over and cause some damage to that big head of yours.'

Liam didn't turn to face Rae.

'Remind me something,' he said, 'when I get the MS1 back, remind me to remember not to shoot you.'

'Charming.' Rae said, face slightly puckered.

Liam finally faced her. 'You here to serve a specific service, or just to gloat?'

'Jenna is here to gloat. I however-

-are here to get orders from me. I want my shoes, forget the rest, just my shoes.'

Rae shot a quizical look. 'What?'

'Just do it, you'll see.'
---

[b]5 minutes later[/b]

Liam slipped his shoes on and grinned. Rae shook her head and muttered something about 'lunatic' before wandering out of the room.

Liam, after making sure she had left and no-one was watching, Liam opened a hidden compartment on the heel of his left shoe. Something of his mind returned as he slipped the long three fingered push dagger out.

Solid carbon-steel, straight and thin like a kebab stick, ended by a sharp point on one end, and a three fingered kuckled duster like handle.

Liam slipped it back into his shoe and grinned. He was going to enjoy this, that and slipping out the 11-inch throwing knife...

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue]Jaudiar: You're a nut.

Liam: Yeah?

Jaudiar: *sigh* So Juvenille....

[i]She winked at him and twirled a knife between her fingers....teasing, playing.[/i][/COLOR]

[liamc2]

Liam grinned, 'Are flirting with me? You've got to try harder than that if you are because hardly any of my logical thoughts are in check yet.'

Jaudiar just merely smiled, spitting image of the Mona Lisa.

Liam felt too tired to be aggravated and grinned back, eyes starting to glaze over slightly. He shook his head, waking his slightly energy deprived mind.

He glanced around the room, 'Would it kill them to atleast provide some jellybeans? Or gummi bears or...or...' Liam yawned. All this plotting was tiring him, right when he had a charming girl holding a conversation with him...and his hand...he looked down.

'You need some sleep you know? You can't exactly stab straight if you're unconscious, again I might add, and juvenile at the same time can you now?'

Liam smiled again, 'for once I think we're in agreement. Now might you leave and let me rest? I have some subconscious plotting to do while my body comes up to speed...or my mind...one of the two...'

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue]Jaudiar: Very well.

[i]She tilted his head to the side and kissed his cheek, then in a flash of dark light, she was gone....and Liam was left with a slightly dazed expression on his face....[/i]

Liam: Kiss...on cheek.... Oo...where's the bed...?

[i]From the shadows, Jaudiar struggled to keep from laughing at the poor boy. He struggled to understand his feelings breifly...then shrugged, and promptly fell over into the bed.

"Sleep well, son of Earth."[/i][/COLOR]

[liamc2]

Liam slept deeply, regaining his strength and wit. He was mid-dream when he was rudely woken. The same two bodyguards shook him awake and forced him to his feet, suddenly the pains on his back returned with all their glory, making Liam feel more than slightly ill.

?Wake up already, interrogation time. You?re going to need your wits about you.? The first bodyguard grinned and dragged Liam to attention.

Liam shook her off and stood, brushing down his tattered khaki shirt.

?Just a minute,? he said, ?shoelace?s undone.?

The two bodyguards shrugged and began a whispered conversation over to top of his kneeling form. Liam slipped the push dagger and throwing knife out of his shoe, swiftly stabbing them deep into the thighs of the two guards either side.

In blind panic, they both took random aim and filled each other with lead, Liam rolled to the side, ignoring the slight ringing in his ears. For sub machine guns, they made a lot more noise than expected, upgraded to the max he reasoned. He grinned and prised the two weapons out of their rigour mortis fingers and a few magazines. Still grinning, he returned the two blades to their compartments in his shoes.

?Game?s on Pizaro?gonna getchya??

Liam ducked to the side as the door burst open, two concerned guards entered, MP5 and M16 swinging around the room. Liam cleared his throat and did a cutesy wave with one gun while he squeezed the trigger and strobed the room with the other.

Not one to be wasteful, Liam knelt down, retrieved the MP5 and M16, and hung them behind his back on his shoulders, the cool feeling of the cold metal slightly comforting on his hurting wounds. Liam hastily reloaded and stepped out of the room into the tunnels, hankering for some revenge, and his MS1?

?A shotgun would be reeeeeal nice right now??

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Their was a faint clicking sound behind him, and he whirled around. Jaudiar was standing behind him, fingers barely touching the sight she had just flicked onto her shotgun. She winked, then indicated her head down. Liam's jaw went into free fall. Not only was she wearing nothing but lengire, she had also let her hair down past her waist.....[/i]

Jaudiar: Something wrong?

Liam: Gug...du....mmm...

Jaudiar: *sigh* Snap out of it. Think about Pizaro.

Liam: *ping* Why are you dressed like that?

Jaudiar: Easy enough. I'm the distraction. There's plenty of male guards around...they don't see enough of scantlly clad women...and from that look on your face.... You don't see enough of them either.

[i]She rolled her eyes and Liam once more focused on his task.[/i][/COLOR]

[liamc2]

Liam couldn?t help but grin, this whole operation, if you could call it that, was utterly insane. Even Craig might?ve had a few complaints if he was here. Liam checked that the submachine guns were armed and wandered on, taking random turns until he reached a conclusion.

?I do believe I?ve made us lost.? He said, rather bemused.
Jaudiar rolled her eyes. ?Let me lead, if I remember correctly you were half asleep for most of your trips through this place.?
?Just because I?m unconscious doesn?t mean I didn?t find anything out about these tunnels.?
?Well what did you find out then?? Jaudiar?s tone was semi-interested, her head was curled around the corner ahead, spying out any dangers.
?Well?? Liam thought hard. ?I found out that?uh?? He glanced around for inspiration. ?The walls are white and concrete.?

Liam didn?t have enough cognitive thought in him to look sheepish from his pathetic response.

Liam looked down at the weapons in his hands. ?And to think, the man behind that statement is a teenager holding two very high powered vessels capable of taking a hapless creature?s life in less than a second. One misfire and I could take us all out with the ricochets.?

Jaudiar didn?t respond, even though he was ill, Liam still had the capabilities of making disturbing comments that made sparks of doubt pop up in the mind.

She felt a hand on her shoulder, Liam had come up beside her, ?Sorry about the whole ?doom and gloom? thing.? The hand was removed and Liam glanced around again, pretending as if nothing had happened and he was still at the peak of his strength.

?Are we good to go?? he inquired.

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Jaudiar turned her hand and brushed her lips against his, then winked at his shocked expression.[/i]

Liam: ....um...

Jaudiar: For good luck. Now comeon, let's rock the party.

Liam: What party?

Jaudiar: Pizaro's throwing a big fat gala of some kind....I thought it would be nice for us to show up there....later.

Liam: ...what else do you have in that backpack?

Jaudiar: Rations, a skirt and a minitop for me to change into....an extra clip or two for my 9mms, and my boots...

Liam: Damn. And here I am with 4 guns and nothing but khakis and shoes.

Jaudiar: You'll live. Now come on! I don't want to miss the bus![/COLOR]

[liamc2]

?Righto, where is it??

Liam followed Jaudiar out into the corridor. Numbers gradually went past, labelling entrances to several suspicious looking tunnels and rooms. Jaudiar didn?t pay them any attention so Liam shrugged and kept an eye out for trouble.

Five or so minutes later, Jaudiar paused at door and nodded for Liam to go first. He happily obliged and kicked it in, shooting the two guards on duty. He winced at the pain the recoil sent shuddering up his arms. That was something new. He rolled his shoulders and waited for Jaudiar to lead.

Jaudiar waved a hand at a steel locker in the corner, ?Your stuff is in there. But they took the MS1 for testing. Seem?s they were quite interested in it.?

Liam shot the lock and pulled his coat out, slipping it around his shoulders.

?I?m afraid Pizaro?s team is going to get a very rude surprise, that?s if they live long enough to survive the explosion to form surprise. If any tampering is detected, the MS1 will explode and wipe anything out in a ten-metre radius. The government and Metal Storm figured that nifty idea.?

Jaudiar winced. ?Sounds like a good way to keep trade secrets to me.?

?Yup.?

Liam traded the now empty sub-machine guns for the unfortunate guard?s pistols and peered down the empty corridor.
?So are we getting Rae out first, or are we doing some espionage??

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]She waved her hand as if Rae was beneath her.[/i]

Jaudiar: She's already free. I saw to that while you were in lala land.

Liam: You devious bîtch.

Jaudair: I love being me.

Liam: ...are you going to put clothes on at all?

Jaudiar: Sure...in a few hours.

Liam: Gug.

[i]She chuckled at him, and then pulled on her skirt and halter top. Both were a perfect fit, having been purloined from Siren's personal stash.... Once dressed somewhat decently, she reloaded her guns and swung on her backpack again.[/i][/COLOR]

[Lady Asphyxia]

[color=darkred]Sitting in the nice little jeep, Rae thought about the conversation Jaudiar had had with her earlier. "You need to get out. The grand party Pizaro is holding will be big, and a perfect place to intercede. We can't do that if we know you're there. You're a great shot, but your cover can't be revealed yet. Besides, its most likely we'll just be shooting without any target, at first. So, get out. Go to Siren and the crew."

And that was what she was doing. Rae looked around, and tapped the shoulder of the driver. "Lets stop here," she shouted over the noise of the jeep. He nodded, and began to slow down.

Jumping out of the vehicle, she picked her way over to a log. In the underbrush behind it, she could see Niomi and Siren, and she winked at them, hoping Adam had told them what was going on. He had.

Two shots rang out, and two of the four guards crumpled to the ground. The remainder had drawn their guns, but with no target but their lovely Jehane, they didn't shoot anyone. Smirking, Rae took the only female as Craig took out the other.

The silence after the quick fight was deafening. Rae stood up and brushed the dirt off her skirt, then turned and faced Siren. "Glad to see me?"

Siren stared for a moment, then broke into a wide grin. "Hell yes!" The looked at each other, then Siren whistled. "Nice clothes."

"Yes. They are. I am Jehane Baudez, to them at least. Damn she's a bloodthirsty whore. Ugh." Rae tapped her ear, where the earpiece used to be. "I need a new one. Someone tell Adam that Jaudiar and Liam are taking the gala. I think they might need back-up. I'm not sure if I should go, though."

Siren relayed that information, then listened to him. "No. Don't. Apparently, we're going to use you instead of his daughter as his daughter."

"What?"

"Well, we're using his daughter as a hostage to get him to do what we want. However, in the trading period, we'll plant you, not Jenna in the bargaining period. A decoy of sorts."

Rae nodded. "Like I have been. Well, do I go in and pretend to be helpless or not?"

"Might as well. Your already neck deep in lies. We can abduct you then."

Rae laughed and nodded. "Okay. Lets go see my papa."[/color]

[liamc2]

Liam strode briskly along the corridor, instincts and training taking over. The cuts on his back were still burning, but had receded somewhat. He looked down at the two generic pistols in his hands, they were well made?and had a lot more weight in them than he expected. Still, it might just be the side effects of the blood and sugar loss.

Liam turned the final corner and spied a long corridor ending in several riot gear wearing guards. One spotted him before Liam had the chance to raise his weapons. A hail of bullets flew past him as he leapt out of sight. In the distance there was the sound of an alarm. Liam sighed. Only sixteen and he was already losing it.

He curled an arm around the corner and fired random shots until the clip was empty. No small satisfaction came from the sound of someone falling over in agony. Jaudiar looked at him and shook her head,
?Because of that, the whole place is going to be bearing down on us! Think first you trigger happy bastard!?

Liam forced a grin and held the other pistol round the corner, ?and you know you love me for it.?

Jaudiar restrained the urge to slap him upside the head and instead pretended to be interested in the shotgun in he hands.

Liam lay down and poked his head out around the corner. Two guards had already gone down and the rest had formed a tortoiseshell like formation with their shields and were slowly creeping forward. Liam reached for the pilfered M16 and stood nodding to Jaudiar.

?If we hit fast enough they won?t have time to draw their weapons, let alone poke them out behind their shields.?

Jaudiar nodded and they both strafed out into the corridor, emptying their weapons into the armoured group. When finished, Liam walked forward and kicked one of the guards over, the one that had managed to get a shot off. So Liam was now bleeding yet again from another wound in his shoulder. Liam knelt down and gathered the ammunition.

?Waste not want not. I tell ya once this is over I should probably get a real job that real teenagers have?like at Macca?s or Target or something?I?m starting to get sick of all of this?I?ve got more emotional, physical and mental scarring than my entire school put together??

[Raiha]

[COLOr=royalblue][i]Still shooting left and right, she cooly moved.....unaffected by the agony around her.[/i]

Jaudiar: And I have more than you and everyone else. So stop complaining.

Liam: True...oh...ugh

Jaudiar: And when this is all over, I'll go take a nice hot shower, then soak for a month in the hot tub.

Liam: Mind if the rest of us join you?

Jaudar: Please...[/COLOR]

[Lady Asphyxia]

[color=darkred]Rae heard the alarms up ahead, and slouched, looking for something. The rest of the team was behind her. Because of her free reign lately, Rae knew this place quite well. The stark walls opened up to a huge ballroom that was being prepared for the gala tonight. The servants who'd been hired for the night continued as if nothing was wrong. Rae smiled. "Go on, guys. Find somewhere to get ready. We're in for a big haul tongiht. We have to get Pizaro [i]alive[/i]. Just...promise you won't shoot [i]me[/i]?

The nodded and left. Rae moved foward, glancing with deliberately wide eyes at the ballroom. Her fingers stroked a lily as she moved past, fingers casually tipping over the vase. "Opps," she whispered, manicured nails glinting as she brought her hand up to cover her mouth, and its smile. "I'm so sorry. I'm feeling so very [i]clumsy[/i] lately."

Pizaro's amused voice sounded behind her. "Jenna, stop terrorising the hired help."

She whirled, smirked, and nodded at him. "Yes, Papa. I'll be good. I promise."[/color]

[liamc2]

OOC: As many of you know, I'm up at Maryborough. Therefore, my posts will be few and far between, due to the price of an hour of net access..yeesh..$3 bucks an hour..

[b]Pizaro's gala Ball[/b]

A servingboy walked into the hall, carrying a large tray burdoned by several alcoholic drinks. The serving boy continued making his way through the chattering crowd until he reached a certain bored looking Jenna sitting by herself on the other side of the room. He lowered the tray to her and grinned.

'Hello Rae. How nice to see you again..'

Rae looked up, rather puzzled, and then returned the smile when she recognise Liam.

'Where's Jaudiar?' she asked.

'Around here somewhere, basically no-one here knows our faces except for you and the absent Pizaro. We're serving drinks until he gets here, then the fun begins.'

Rae followed Liam's gaze to Jaudiar in the corner. She put two and two together.

'You've fallen for her haven't you?'

Liam looked down at her and raised an eyebrow before laughing uproariously. He stopped, wiped a tear from his eye and said very seriously,

'Yes as a matter of fact I have Rae.' Liam picked up one of the drinks off his tray and sipped it before spitting it out.

'eugh...' he said 'forgot what alcohol tasted like..how can they drink this stuff?'

Rae looked around, 'So what's the plan?'

Liam sniffed the other drinks, 'Oh the usual, protect the innocent, bag the badguy, fly off home and everyone is happy...'

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]She served drinks easily, fitting into the job of being nothing more than a cocktail waitress. Her training had been impecable, and Adrien, may he rest in hell, would've been pleased.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Jenna/Rae sitting down, with Liam in front of her....she watched quietly for some time, allowing her gaze to rest on him....then she snapped out of it. Angry with herself for thinking like that, she continued with what she was doing. He was too young for her, even if they were mentally on the same level....

Oh well, we'll always have Paris...a dreamy look passed over her face, before a busboy knocked her tray out of her hands. She looked down. White wine. All over her legs.

"Damnit."[/i][/COLOR]

[liamc2]

OOC: AAAAAAARGH! I AM GOING NUTS!

It's worse than otaku being offline.....-.-

cloricus..you better get up here for holidays soon...I need someone with actual intelliegence to converse with....

I'm trapped in the land of the dullwitted...

------

Liam took a sip from another glass on the tray. Before he had the chance to spit it out, he felt a sharp prop on his shoulder. He turned to face a very plump and irate lady, who seemed to be in charge of the catering.

'Excuse me young man but you were not paid to drink those, you were paid to serve those.'

Something clicked in Liam's mind...he could have fun with this...

Letting a huge, drunk, smile peel onto his face, Liam hiccoughed and placed a hand on her shoulder,

'You knowsh...you're a very pwetty ladysh...'

The plump woman blushed.

'No time for flattery, it'll get you no where, smarten up or ship out.'

Liam feined hurt and kept the tipsy attitude.

'Forgives me mishus...I'm sho showwy...' Liam dropped his tray and fell onto her neck, heaving great fake sobs, 'I..promish I never drinksh again..mish...'

The plump woman pushed Liam off and straightened him up, he was starting to gather attention.

'Back to your duties then...make sure I never catch you again or you might find yourself on the streets...'

With that she turned and left, leaving Liam to chortle and place the tray down on the table.

'When's Pizaro getting here?' He asked Rae.

Rae seemed more intersted in the now alcohol soaked Jaudiar, 'Dunno, five minutes...ten...anyhoo, you might want to help your girlfriend out over there, she's having some trouble.'

[Raiha]

[COLOr=royalblue][i]She stiffened slightly and turned around...[/i]

Jaudiar: Girlfriend?

Liam: Uh...

Rae: Eheh...*color=red*

Liam: ....you need any help?

Jaudiar: Oh no, I just enjoy marinating in white wine like this...it's good for the skin ya know.

Liam: It is?[/COLOR]

[liamc2]

OOC: Short sorry, filler, whatever, take it away somone and introduce Pizaro. Nothing much can be done when you're sitting in several layers of your own sweat. Damn Maryborough.

Liam raised an eyebrow and scratched the now surprisingly itchy bullet wound. Red blood started to blossom on the white uniform he was wearing.

Liam looked down and said, 'that cannot be good.'

He looked at Jaudiar and asked, 'so you suppose I spill some wine and show a bit of leg when I'm being shot at, I won't get shot at?'

Jaudiar gazed blankly back. Liam shrugged.

'Ignore me, I'm slightly bored and bleeding, inane comments are common on these occaisions...'

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue]Somebody go kick Siren and Rae. And while they're at it, go after Craig and another guy....or something. [/COLOR] :demon:

[Lady Asphyxia]

[color=darkred]OOC: Okay, okay, I'm here. I was going to post when I was at my grandparents, but I accidently blew up their computor screen. When are you coming home? I can't talk to [i]anybody[/i] here. Anybody being Saide. Or Alley Catt.

________

Plastering on a social smile, Rae started moving towards the doors on the other side of the room. She'd left Jaudiar and Liam to their own devices. It was time to get Pizaro. She'd had enough acting for one year. She gladly left the room, walking along to Siren's cubby hole. The others were stationed at other miscellaneous points around the complex. "Heya."

"Hi." Siren fidgeted. She wasn't in a cupboard exactly. It was a hatch that separated into to paths. One led down to the basement, the other to the fusebox. However, Siren had had to stay near the door. She was acting as a scout in case anyone was going to pre-empt their attack by ambushing them.

Rae rubbed her face. "Can we finish this soon? I want to go home. Sleep for a week or two. Maybe even have a beer or something. It's so [i]hot[/i] in this godforsaken place."

"They'll probably provide coke when we get back to base."

"I can settle for coke." Grinning wryly, Siren started sending out calls to the rest of the team, informing them that they were about to start their hastily made plan - using Rae as bait. Rae considered it rather ironic, if that was the correct term. They were using a fake daughter to capture Pizaro, while the real daughter [i]was[/i] a hostage.

"You know, maybe someone should tell Liam and Jaudiar..."

"I will." Rae crawled out of the hatch, glad no one was around to see her. She'd walked back into the ball room, and was looking for Liam and Jaudiar when her search was interrupted.

"Jenna!" Rae turned, smiling at the man. He was young, just older than her, most probably, and well dressed. He was almost pleasant, but there was an aura of weakness and oiliness around him.

"Hello. How do you find yourself tonight?"

"I'm quite all right, Jenna. A little bored though. I've been all alone in our family's villa for almost three weeks. You know how our parents' are. Always plotting with each other. I tell you, they were very glad when we started going out..." Jenna was going out with this schmuck? Somehow it didn't seem to fit her profile. Mentally shrugging, Rae tuned in again. "I think that they're planning marri-" He cut off. "You aren't Jenna. There's a remarkable resemblance, but..." he peered closer. "There's a difference in your smile. And a hardness around your eyes. Jenna is sweetness and light. You...you're darker."

A stiff smile came to Rae's lips. "Yes. I'm...I'm Jenna's cousin. Excuse me. I must go and get myself a drink." Her walk was slow and casual as Rae made her way to Liam. It almost killed her. "Help me help me help me help me," she whispered to herself. It wasn't going to be long until Pizaro found out. "Liam!" She grabbed a glass from his platter. "We're starting early. Partly out of boredom, but also because someone's realised that I'm not Jenna. Some schmuck who say's that he's her boyfriend."

A dry expression crept over his face. "Joy. Okay. We'll be fine to go in a second."

"What will we be fine to do?" Rae turned to see Jaudiar. "We're starting early. Pizaro is going to be told I'm not Jenna soon. Someone will tell him, or ask where she is. Ugh. I should have though someone would be able to tell the difference. Dammit! Okay." Rae took a deep breath and calmed herself. "Here we go. Act one."

Rae walked back outside, hating all the running around she was doing. Ryan was lounging just outside the doors, and Rae flicked a smile at him. They got into position, Ryan behind her, a gun at her head. "Ready?"

Rae choked back a laugh. A little late, no? "Ready." She answered, then let out a scream as they entered the ballroom. All faces turned toward them, to see little Jenna struggling to get away from the armed stranger. "Papa!" She screamed. "Papa! Help me!"

"Shut up, *****." Ryan growled. The tension was almost palpable, made even more so when Ryan announced his demand. "Pizaro, I'm gonna kill your little girl, unless you surrender yourself." Adding a touch of realisim, she started to cry, wondering how many crocodile tears she'd shed over the past few days. Pizaro nodded stiffly, walking out of the room, where, she knew, Siren, Iitashi, Craig, and Tursi were waiting to make him docile. Ryan dragged her back outside, just for effect, then let her go.

Rae rubbed her throat as Jaudiar and Liam walked towards them. "Well done," Jaudiar commented. "The tears were marvellous addition."

"Thank you." She flicked the lingering moisture from her face, then turned to Pizaro. "You see, [i]Daddy[/i], I'm not Jenna. And I'm not a sadistic *****, either." She then emphasised her point by slamming a fist under his jaw, smiling as he was knocked out.

OOC: Happy?[/color]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue]Overjoyed.
~~~~~~~~~~
[i]Jaudiar silently sipped her remaining glass of white wine, then raised the platter over her head, and broke it on her knee. The shards rained down around Pizzaro's face, one of them peircing his left eye.[/i]

Rae: hmmm.....

Jaudiar: You might not be the sadistic bîtch, but I sure as hell am.

[i]She grinned and then turned around once more. The team watched the exit warrily, and Liam cocked his gun.[/i]

Jaudiar: Who wants to learn how to tango?

Siren: Doesn't that take three?

Craig: ...*snort*[/COLOR]

[liamc2]

?One moment please?? muttered Liam. ?I believe we have a loose end?we can?t disturb the other guests can we??
Liam left the group and returned to the ballroom, picking up a fresh tray and continued serving drinks in the ballroom. The boyfriend was standing by himself on the far side of the room?near an open exit. Perfect. A nice easy way to get rid of a liability?

Liam strutted over and placed the tray under the gentleman?s nose.

?Drinks sir?? he said dryly.
The boyfriend noticed the red stain on Liam?s tunic.
?What on earth is that?? he asked.

Liam made a great show of an aristocratic sigh. ?Mistress Jenna sir?found it?[I]highly[/I] amusing to splash my best dress tunic with red wine. I?ll never get it out sir?also highly unusual behaviour for her??

The man chuckled. ?Yes?[I]Jenna[/I] is behaving very oddly?? he glanced around before leaning towards Liam and whispering, ?have you noticed anything else??

Liam could have done this in his sleep. It was almost painful not to grin as he set his tray down and left the room, easing the garrotte wire from his belt loop as the poor soul emptied his heart out. Liam nodded and patted him on the back, waiting until he was facing the other way and leaning on the balcony. Liam leant forward and was about to leave him headless when Siren tapped him on the shoulder.

The garrotte wire was hastily concealed.

?Dammitt!? Liam muttered to himself, ?I never, ever, have any fun??

The slightly lovesick boyfriend continued rambling, totally unawares.

?What?? Liam barked, though in a whisper.

Siren grinned. ?I doubt that?s [I]wholly[/I] necessary.?

Liam shrugged. ?Bah.?

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]The older female leaned to one side and put her lips very close to his ears.[/i]

Jaudiar: But as the older and more experienced of the women here, I'm giving you the thumbs up.

Siren: Hey!

Liam: YES!

Jaudiar: And you didn't here this from me.

[i]She calmly sauntered away, hips moving to the beat of the music.....[/i][/COLOR]

[liamc2]

Liam grinned and watched her walk away. Siren cleared her throat and Liam fazed back into focus. The boyfriend looked up at Liam and noticed that Siren was now there, and that Siren had a gun. Before he could do anything about it, Liam smacked him on the crown with the butt of the pistol he unholstered. The boyfriend slumped to the ground and Liam hefted him over the balcony, where he landed in the thick foliage below. Liam grinned and dusted his hands.

?There.? He said. ?A compromise then.?

Siren shook her head. ?Right, whatever. C-mon then, we?ve got to regroup and blackmail Pizaro- hey!?
Siren called out to Liam, who had started walking in the opposite direction.

?Where?re you going?? called Siren. ?The group is this way!?

?Got ?ta find my MS1. Before Pizaro?s team decides to disassemble it?? he called back over his shoulder.

?Fine then, whatever. S?not like we need you anyway??
