"Run," Kai said as she stood and sprinted out the door. "I need my laptop Jack. I'll meet you at the rendezvous." Jack and Kai had created a rendezvous at the old casino room that Kai and Gandal rented while he was still alive. She would grab er laptop and meet him there. She needed that computer.

Jack nodded, running towards the grand Casino.

Kai burst through the front door of the house and ran into the attic She grabbed her satchel and laptop. She ran to the door and stopped. She walked back to the bed,lifting the pillow and grabbing a photo of Gandal. "I can't leave you behind," she said and ran out of the house toward the casino.

Jack ran through the streets, the beeping of horns squealing at him as he belted across roads. Nevertheless, he wasn't worried about that. He was worried about the situation at hand.

Kai ran faster than she had a few months ago. In two weeks it would be her birthday and sh would turn seventeen. Too bad she'll be busy running for her life. She wouldn't be able to celebrate it. The casino was coming up on the right. She turned into an old alley way and stopped, took a deep breath and began to walk inside. The guy behind the desk was the one that gave her the key all those months ago. "Kai. Long time no see. How long has it been? A few weeks."
"Try a few months Brandon." She smiled.

As she walked to the elevator, she looked to her right, imaging Gandal beside her. She smiled as tears came to her eyes. She hit the elevator button and waited.

Jack entered the casino, gasping for air as a black sedan pulled up behind him in the driveway and the black clad men stepped out - with guns. Jack turned; seeing the men. Adrenaline pumped through him as he ran towards the elevator, gunshots firing to his left; shattering glass and rupturing furniture. He reached the elevator, the door sliding shut behind him with a whir.

Kai reached the door and heard gun shots. Damn it. They knew about the rendezvous. She had told Brandon that she had handed in the key. And she had. But the stupid boy that she gave it to lost it. He was an idiot and she knew it.

She picked the lock and opened the door. She looked at the room with a blank stare. She had been dreading coming back here.

Jack came to the floor she had described, panting with exertion. "They're gonna be here any moment." He mumbled. He took out two cubes from his pocket, throwing them onto the ground. The cubes flashed and turned into two pistols. "Grab one." He pointed to them as he equipped his own.

"You know I don't do violence," she said as she grabbed one. She checked the magazine and put the gun in her boot.

"Well if you wanna survive, you gotta use it." He said, warily, propping a chair against the door.

"Yeah I know," she grumbled. She'd used them before but she didn't like them.

Jack pulled out chest of drawers, taking cover behind hit. "If you see 'em. Shoot 'em." He said grimly.

Kai mumbled a "Fine." and sat behind an upturned lounge. She set up her laptop and started typing at it. She needed to know what they were up against.

"What are you doing?" He said, keeping his voice low.

"What I've been doing since Gandal died. Hacking every system to find who these guys are and know what they're doing." She sat back and waited All they had to do was get the information.

Jack nodded; good idea. Honestly; he did not like the way she always referred to Gandal. It made him feel so insignificant... like he was being used by her. He shook his head, shaking away the negative though.

"I need to wait for a ping. When I get one, I'll search through every file. I'm keeping my promise Jack. I've never broken one to date. I'm not going to start now." She pulled out the pistol and placed it next to her computer.

Jack nodded as gunshots ruptured the silence. "Magnum's." Jack presumed, as he loaded his pistol

"Whatever. I bet their Glock 22s," she said with a smile. The computer pinged as the door was rattled.

"Oh no..." Jack said, I wasn't expecting them to come in this quickly. Rounds of bullets were shot at the door, punching holes in the wood.

Kai checked the computer and read through a few files. Nothing. Not one scrap of information. She closed the laptop and put it back in her bag. She grabbed the pistol and stuck her head put from behind the lounge. She held the pistol loosely in her hand hoping she wouldn't have to use it.

Abruptly, the door blasted open, knocking the chair onto the ground into pieces. "Move, move." Robotic voices commanded as footsteps traveled through the room. Jack looked at Kai, counting down on his fingers, 3... 2...

(Whats the number thing mean?)

(Counting down for when to shoot them)

(Okay)

When Jack reached one, Kai leaned out and shot two men in the chest. "Keep one alive Jack," she shouted over the noise.
