Chapter 12

“Shit. Get back,” I hissed as I moved away from the edge of the alleyway.

“Crap. What do we do now?” Z asked as we retreated.

“They will leave,” Juliette said. “Probably on the next train, or they will move to the streets. We just have to wait.”

“I actually agree with you.” Z snickered.

“Ahh, you have a brain after all,” the redhead said.

“Annnnnnnd, now you can go fuck yourself. For real. I’ve got a gun you can use.”

“I can think of someone else’s weapon I’d rather fuck,” Juliette said, and I felt a hand tap me on the back.

“You don’t have many friends, do you?” Z hissed.

“Nope. Not a single one. I don’t think you have many either,” Juliette answered.

“Hey,” I hissed back at them, and they both closed their mouths. “Shut up.”

Both of the pretty women glared at me, but I turned back around before they could reply. The armored soldiers were standing on the tube platform and talking to each other. The siren was still going so I couldn’t hear what they were saying, but it didn’t look like they were in a hurry to go anywhere.

We waited.

The next tube came to a stop after a few minutes, and the doors opened silently. The armored cops didn’t even look at the tube, they were engrossed in their conversation. Two of the men carried the riot shotguns, and the other four held door sized plastic shields and stun batons. The group of them would make short work of a group of protestors, and I wondered why they weren’t moving to join the rest of their comrades.

“Looks like you were wrong,” Z said.

“Let’s wait till the next train,” Juliette huffed.

We waited in silence, except for the sound of the sirens and the distant shots from the riot guns.

The next train came to the station, and the riot cops didn’t leave. It was obvious now that they were stationed here to keep anyone from taking the tube to the harbor. I guessed that even if we did get past these six men, there would be another group of them waiting for us at the harbor.

“Looks like you are still wrong,” Z said.

“We’ll keep waiting. Eventually--”

“Eventually they are going to find us. You said these are crooked cops?” Z asked.

“I don’t know if all of them are, but I’m guessing a lot of them are on Ian Ven Toreg’s pay--”

“Were on his payroll. Now they aren’t. They are going to be fucking pissed. We need to get out of here,” Z said.

“We can continue our run in this direction and get to the harbor without taking the tube,” Juliette said.

“We’ll still have to get by the six of them,” I said. “There was also a group on the next street over, and there will be more on the way.”

“You have a better plan?” the cop asked.

“Yeah. We take the tube.”

“Uhhhh--” Z began to say, but Juliette interrupted her.

“You just pointed out the six officers in the way.”

“Yeah. We’ll go through them.”

“No,” the woman said as she shook her head.
