Ceege and Valaro landed with a crunch outside and old warehouse.
"Thanks Ocelet" Valaro said hanging up his cell, "apparently this building is where Morello holds his illegal raves and has his office. And in other news, it looks like the crew have found another RSI pin, along with a hairy bonus, I hope you like rats Ceege."
"Heh, I used to have one back in my bluepill days, Calem he was called. I miss that little thing."
"Well when we get back I'll hunt the Zion maintenance floor for you, apparently they see some now and then." Valaro chuckled.
"Man, rats can survive anything, if all goes to hell and machines and humans whipe out each other the rat race will rule the universe. Haha."
Ceege and Valaro laughed as they walked though a side door of the warehouse. Immediately two scrubby armed guards by an elevator pulled out their M-16's.
"I think you two gots the wrong building" one shouted as they both walked over.
Ceege pulled open his trench flashing his duel pistols to the guards. They both lifted their guns to shoot.
BLAM! BLAM!
Valaro blew away the smoke coming out the end of his weapon as the two guards fell to the floor with a thud.
"What kind of a welcome party is this?" Ceege smiled, "I hear the rats, rulers of the universe hold kinder events than this."
Ping. They both got into the elevator and Ceege hit the button for the top floor. He started thinking about Karaa and how she'd handle the news about Danny. He half didn't want her to know, that big brother instinct inside of him wanting to protect her from the pain and confusion it might cause. But he trusted his captain, he was a friend to them all, and would bring the news in a way he knew would work best.
As the elevator doors slid open loud techno music started blaring and lights, all colours of the spectrum shone through the two Pride members shades, they stepped out and saw hundreds of ravers, all shapes and sizes, colours and styles dancing away, most of them pilled out of their heads.
"Partying this early in the morning! I like this Morello's style" Ceege said doing a little jig as they walked down the corridor to Morello's office.
"In that case I won't kill him, unless he holds back on us, otherwise you went get an invite to his next rave."
They both smiled as Valaro checked the ammo in his guns and kicked the door in. Another two guards quickly pulled out their weapons and pointed them at the door. But a short, fat man, with slicked black receding hair continued counting money on his big oak desk, only stopping to pick up his cigar and take another puff. There were bags and bags of small round green pills in the room.
"Whoa now fellas. I'm sure these two finely dressed citizens have a good excuse for shooting dead two of my best guards, storming into my club, breaking my door and pointing a gun in my face." the man said.
"Morello?" Valaro asked.
"Ooo, that depends who's asking." the man replied.
"My name is Valaro, I'm a member of a group that by the name The Pride. I've been sent here by Valentino, apparently you may have some information we'd like to have."
"Ah Tino, how is the old bastard?"
"Dead I'm afraid, not by our hands." Ceege answered.
"Ah nevermind, he was an idiot anyway, I never really liked him." Morello replied.
"So about that information." Valaro began again, "it seems you and me have a mutual old friend, goes by the name Thanatos."
"So you're the two I've been tipping him off about. Thanatos, if that's what you want to call him. Looks a little different these days those wouldn't you say Valaro?" Morello laughed, coughing on his cigar smoke as he did so.
"So you've been helping him?" Ceege stepped forward, anger in his voice, Valaro grabbed his arm.
"Please my boy, don't pretend like you're aware of all the circles me and Valaro run in. Thanatos has half of Richland and some of the slums paid up keeping an eye out for you. He's put quite a hefty price on your head if we capture you alive aslong as we don't speak about it."
"About what" Valaro interupted.
"This and that, why would I tell you when there's a nice prize instore for me?"
Ceege, almost too fast to see, pulled out two throwing knifes from inside his waistcoat and flung them straight into the hands of each security guards, making them cry out and drop their weapons, falling to the floor clutching their bloodsoaked hands.
"How the hell do you expect to capture us with such s**t excuse for guards?!" Ceege yelled at Morello.
"Because my boy, they're here for you."
BOOOM! The ground shook as a large explosion shook the room. Morello threw his desk over pulling a shotgun from underneath and taking aim.
"RUN!" shouted Valaro throwing Ceege through the door and along the corridor. The sounds of the techno music was now merged with screams from all the injured party-goers trying to escape the building. A large hole was in the far end of the warehouse and in came several lupines through the smoke.
"Quick Ceege, through there." Valaro pointed at a window on the other the side of the warehouse along the metal grated balcony. They both darted towards it but loads of bluepills had already started coming up the steps and were knocking into them as the only two redpills in the room tried pushing their way through.
"We won't make it captain, the Lupines are coming to the stairs!"
Just as Valaro was about to reply he stopped dead in his tracks looking to the chaotic dance floor. Someone was staring at him amidst the panicking crowd, a face he recognised. He had the similar tatty clothes he remembered Thanatos wearing but this man wasn't bandaged. He had a chiseled face, with some facial stubble and intense green eyes which looked like they were stored with painful memories, his hair was short and light brown, Valaro knew this face, his memory was flooding back.
"Danny." Valaro mouthed.
"CAPTAIN!" Ceege shouted. But his captain didn't move.
"Thanks Ocelet" Valaro said hanging up his cell, "apparently this building is where Morello holds his illegal raves and has his office. And in other news, it looks like the crew have found another RSI pin, along with a hairy bonus, I hope you like rats Ceege."
