• I walked down the hall, thinking maybe I should apologize to Kitty. She didn't deserve me snapping at her so coldly. Shin was in his door way, watching me as I closed in.
    "Hey, Drake.." He said somewhat inquisitively.
    "Yeah Shin?"I knew what he was probably going to ask, but I let him ask anyway. Didn't stop my thoughts from interrupting him though..
    "I wanted to talk to you.." Yup, just like Twilight.. "About this Kiera situation..." Here it comes. "I just wanted you to know.." She still our enemy, right..? "Even though I hate it, You should help her..."
    "R-really?" I asked. "Why the change of heart?"
    "Well.. I know if Koria were suddenly our enemy and she were hurt in a fight.. I'd beat the hell out of all of you to drag her here and help her."
    "True... At least you understand... Thanks, bro.."
    Shine extended his fist. "No problem. Just don't let this get between you and Kitty."
    I pounded his fist with mine as he and I laughed a little. As I stepped away, I swore I heard him say "I'm serious, Drake."
    The door was open, so I stepped on in.
    "Well, you look good." I said to Kiera, seeing her leaning up on her own.
    "Whadidja expect, hmm? My teacher's the best, especially when you're keeping her happy.." Jin said playfully as she set down some medical gear. Then she imitated Kitty's voice. "Oh Drake, you're so awesome..! I love being around you and stuff!" She put her hands on her hips quickly. "What do you two even do in there?"
    I laughed, trying to avoid Kiera's glare. "Maybe she'll teach you someday."
    "Pshh, that's what she said you'd do.." I could feel Kiera's glare intensify.
    Then I noticed something. A small glimmer that shouldn't have been there. I looked harder, then noticed motion.
    "Jin.." I said quietly. "Step outside, get Shin, and tell everyone to stay away from the room."
    "Why should I" She said defiantly.
    "Just do it. Now.Tell him it's a possible S-40 in zone 95."
    "Oh.. s**t! I'll do it now!" She said, half yelling, though she kept calm. She walked out, making herself seem busy, then started running down the hall after the door closed. Of course, it wasn't the sound of running, but the common crashing noise followed by yelling as per Jin's forte.
    "Kiera." I looked at her as I went to sit in a chair off to the side of the room putting the bathroom between me and the outside. "I need to know. Would your boss send someone to finish us and you...?"
    "More than likely.." She whispered.
    I stood, moving toward the window to look around, scoping out possible sniper points as my hand slides toward the panic button. "And we'd be the primary targets, right..?"
    "Yes...."
    "Well then, don't panic when this happens..." I dropped quickly, noticing a small flash as I neared the windowsill. A fraction of a second later, I felt a sharp pain shoot across my shoulder as I heard the security door drop on the window. I reached up to feel blood.
    "Hell..."
    Kiera jumped from her bed, dropping to the ground to move closer. "Drake!"
    "Told you not to be surprised..."
