[b][i]Infinite corp: Bird's on the Plains[/i][/b]
The two had been flying on the plane for some time now. It was a massive, white and blue painted cargo plane that Alex had likely gotten from raids on the cartel in the shi-canyon. Instead of drugs now, however, it just had a small table and shelf stocked with a variety of weapons. Alex sat on the side opposite of Sera, Zane's daughter. Outside of some small talk, the two hadn't spoken much.
But of course, alex always had to break established norms.
"So!" He began as he stood up. He walked towards the table in the middle of the cargo hold and placed his hands on it.
"You can summon chains to hold people down for a bit. I know that much. What else can you do?"
[spoiler]for Zane[/spoiler]

Sera let out a cough and crossed her arms, interrupting the couple. "If you to could not have a romantic moment in front of me, that would be preferred...."
-
"...definitely Zane's kid." Anne said as she backed up from Alex. Alex stood in the middle of the room, so he could look at both girls. "So? What have you figure out?" Alex asked Anne. "To keep it brief? That the clan is really good at hiding." Anne put. "They've been able to take your soldiers out and not even reveal that there was a murderer to begin with. It started at this Inn, when one of them was shot in the head." Anne poked her skull, imitating a bullet. "No one knew who did it. So a brawl broke out. Any trace of a murderer was covered by other people's blood, spit and...well you get the idea."
-
"Hm....Someone had to have saw something. What about security cameras, this place have any?"
-
"No. Because private dealers pay for the cameras to be turned off. This town may look nice, but it's a centre of crime." Anne stated. "Great. So we don't have any leads." Alex said with annoyance. "Ya. And I've tried to ask around here as subtly as possible, but the fact is you can't go around asking 'excuse me, do you know where I can find a child assassin?' without probably getting a few eyebrows raised or being shanked."
-
"Then why not ask about the brawl that broke out? Use that information to gain information about the assassination."
-
"I did. But everyone was too drunk or aggravated to remember anything." Anne answered Sera.
-
"I find the fact that nobody knows anything hard to believe.....The clan might be threatening the people or bribing them to keep their mouths shut."
-
"Good thinking Sera." Alex complimented again. "I was thinking the same thing." "Sure you were." Anne teased. The two began to bicker pettily about how he did know or if he didn't know, but Sera noticed something. She heard everyone in the Inn when she came into the room. But now...she didn't hear anything outside...
-
"Wait a minute....You guys hear that noise?"
-
The two stopped talking for a second and listened. "...What noise?" Anne asked Sera with confusion. It was dead silent.
-
"Exactly, the bar was busy as hell right? So some noise should be coming through the walls. But as you can hear.....not a peep, like everyone outside just disappeared."
-
Alex put the pieces together quickly and took out the tranquilizer pistol from his coat pocket. Anne walked quickly into the room after she looked to Alex and put the pieces together herself. She grabbed what looked to be a black stick from the corner of the room, then she opened a drawer beside the bed and took out what looked to be darts. "Babe, what is that?" Alex asked. "Blowgun." She answered nonchalantly. "A what now?!" "Ya! A blow gun? And the darts are laced with Rohypnol."
-
Sera hopped up in the bed and drew her bow, notching an arrow and ready to release it. "The next person that opens that door is gonna be in a world of hurt....."
-
Edited by Inflatablepants: 4/7/2017 12:25:56 AM"No kidding." Alex said as he took cover behind the bed and took aim. Anne hid around the corner of the hallway which led from the door into the room. The group had established an effective choke point... But...nothing had happened.
-
Sera was silent, and kept her arrow locked on the door, waiting for it to open.
-
The door began to shake slightly. The knob looked like it was being fiddled with.
-
Her focus was unwavering, and eyes were locked on the door. She adjusted her air so the arrow would land in the shoulder area when it fired.
-
The door then suddenly swung open, and an arrow was shot as soon as a figure bursted forwards into the room.
-
Sera rolled forward which caused the arrow to miss her and Imbed in the wall, and when she came out of the roll she fired her own arrow which landed in the figures shoulder.
-
The figure was sent back into the corner of the hallway. Then, another arrow wizzed by Sera's ahead. As she got a good look she saw at least six dark cloaked figures positioned outside. But the doorway limited her point of view. "Sera! Get out of the hallway!!!" Anne yelled.
-
Sera rolled right and notched another arrow in her bow, then fired it at the next closest figure.
-
The arrow soared through the doorway, but it's target moved at the last second. He had his now drawn, but he suddenly dropped his bow and pressed his neck as a small syringe hit his throat. He fell to the ground, and Alex took cover. "God dammit!" Alex let out. "We might have a choke point, but we're trapped right now!"
-
"Get ready to hit then run, I've got a trick up my sleeve!" She notched a new arrow which had a bulky head, then shot it at the ground in front on the figures which then began to blink rapidly.
-
The figures saw the arrow and quickly ran out of the way. "What's the plan, exactly?" Anne asked Sera.
-
"Make em scared and have us move out of this room, then il blow the arrow. Let's move!" She hopped of the bed and ran forward, and her bow suddenly straightened out and transformed into a spear.
