The two she warriors leave the chamber as the alarm rings loudly in their ears. Two guardsmen approach them rapidly and are taken down immediately by Shannan.
"Wow," she thinks to herself, "It never amazes me how naturally this all comes to me.
The two continue down the maze of concrete, following the familiar sound of gun fire. I fire my weapon in the direction of four assailants, doing little or no damage as the rounds bounce off of the walls.
I sense you behind me. "Is this what you mean by coming in quietly?"
I don't expect and answer nor do I get one.
"We got what we came for," Shannan says, "Lets go."
And the four of us are up. I lead the way, killing three attackers. Shannan runs behind me, with Azure following her in a confused state. Amber brings up the rear.
We reach the roof just as the EVAC chopper lowers.
All four of us dive inside. Shannan hangs out the door and simply gives Phoenix the bird as she and her crew reach the roof a few seconds too late.
------------------------------------
I hold Amber in my arms tightly. "I will be there in
12 hours, lover. Just hold on that long."
I kiss her forehead.
"Just get the information we need. I will be waiting for you."
"She is such a pro," I think to myself.
She turns from me and walks out the door.
I notice Shannan watching from around the corner.
"Where is she going?" she asks.
"Into Karwa," I say.
"Isn't that where you fucked up with me?" you scream.
"Yes." Is the only answer I can give. "Yes, it is."
My obvious dislike for the situation keeps Shan from pressing.
"We need to talk to Azure."
"She won't say anything. Not to you. Not yet."
"Well, we will have to get her to talk then, won't we."
"She's been through hell."
"Yes she has. So have you, maybe so will Amber.
Unless we put an end to this now, so will a lot of other women."
"OK. But you will have to earn her trust. The only way she has been trained to trust a man."
Shannan leads me to the dark bedroom where Azure has been put up for the night.
Before entering, she drops her robe, revealing her tanned naked body. She looks at me, expecting the same. I undress, shuddering as my limp dick is revealed to the cold air.
Shannan turns the light so that there is barely enough to see. Azure is in bed, her eyes wide open and staring eerily at the ceiling.
"Azure, hun. It's me."
She turns her head to Shan and a wave of relaxation washes over her face, only to recede when I come into view. "Who is he?" she asks timidly.
"He is a friend," Shannan tells her.
"No man is a friend, except our master."
"This man is," she says.
Shannan pulls back Azure's bed sheets, revealing her nude figure. She pulls her protΓ©gΓ© into a sitting position and puts her arm around Azure.
"Jade," she asks, "why did we leave the master and the sister?"
"All in good time, Azure."
"Yes, sister."
