Eyes on the road Musera knew after this next sing there was no turning back "Not a man of words?" she teased, causing Yoshino to raise an eyebrow "Ironic coming from you" he teased back.
Musera eyes rolled, looking ahead since they took to the road "I suppose so..I suppose so..." Looking up at the sky as lightning flashed, in the blue of that lightning, Musera swore she saw hints of pink and a tinge of green.
"Mr. President!" having walked back into the Ivory House where he stayed he was greeted by a member of his Undercover Service "What?" Eyes hidden behind shades, he could tell by the wrinkles and lines forming in his face the news wasn't good "It's New Arcadia, General Grip has bypassed your authority and launched a missile strike to neutralize the target" he grabbed the many by the collar "HE DID WHAT!!" a single vein in his temple started to show itself.
His shouting could be heard down the hall, but truth be told he didn't really care" "Does he not realize all those residents will be caught in radius of the blast!? Is he crazy!" he brought his tone down to a loud whisper "Was my message relayed to our Special Agent on the ground!? Did they have any contact at all!?" His agent's silence spoke volumes and told all he needed to know "My God-" grabbing his head, he felt a fainting spell coming on.
His agent caught in his arms before he could hit the ground "Mr. President sir!! Please! You've gotta stay strong!Tell us what to do next!?" keeping a firm grip, he held him up til' his sense of self was regained "Nothing" he shook his head "All that can be down now is to pray-only a miracle can save us now..Get me on the phone with him at least...his reason better be damn good for this..."
"Damn it c'mon! I gotta make it in time!" Mayuri had hot wired and broken into the first vehicle available- a silver corvette'. Having strapped Douglas in the passenger side, their captive was laid flat backseat . Swerving between two cars about to crash head on, Mayuri spun the steering wheel allowing the car to tail spin "Keep flirting with death and it might getcha'" Douglas began to stir wake"Yuri, did-" Mayuri placed a finger on his lips.
Silencing Douglas, she knew what question he was going to ask, and not only did she not have an answer for him, she didn't have an answer for herself "Whatever lies beyond, whatever happens later, to live and die in a way those closest to our hearts are proud of is the most important thing- right now I can't give you more than that" Douglas' mouth formed a thin line.
Douglas took Mayuri hand into his "Mayuri...I understand.." turning onto the street, the hospital parking garage was a straight shot "Still a light military-police presence around "So we'll have to sneak in, sucks we don't have any to help us dodge bullets this time, then again as long as that freak is out there who cares" Mayuri grunted feeling not healed wounds opening again, throwing caution to wind, she decided to floor once more.
Pulling into the parking garage within seconds, Mayuri hopped at first "Douglas! Grab Mr. Hypno backseat and toss him over your shoulder!! He doesn't have much time left!!" Knowing she was on brink of exhaustion he did as she said "Is he going to be okay?" Before slanging him over his shoulder he felt the man's pulse-it was much weaker than fifteen minutes ago before he passed out.
Fatigue was about to overtake Mayuri and she was starting to limp, still she found second wind "Hurry up!" sprinting til' both were out of breath they arrived at an elevator in an obscure location in that floor's corner "Swiped a keycard from a hospital worker on my way out, this is an emergency exit, but we should have no problems getting in and meeting back up with the rest" Blood escaped from her mouth as Mayuri broke into a coughing fit.
Anxiety and apprehension apprehended him as Douglas rushed over to her side "Idiot!! We're at a hospital now!! Don't worry about me!" Douglas laid Ramie down, and tossed Mayuri on his back "I'll never accept prioritizing an enemy over those I consider precious friends-I don't care what we can learn from him!!" Mayuri cupped his cheek before digging her manicured nails into his flesh.
