Previously on AISHA.

Aisha and duke also remain at the hotel outside town and for once, Duke is allowed to sleep on the bed.

Chapter 20

He tosses and turns on the bed like someone with a nightmare. Although he sleeps, his brains still capture those very words. Even in sleep, he is careful. As he turns to sleep facing right, his hands fall to the other side of the bed. He quickly redraws them still with his eyes closed in fear of touching her. Her words run through his memories once more.

But that can't be right. From that distance his hands fall, it should have touched her completely. There were only separated by a few inches before he fell to sleep. And it looks like his hands fell a few inches that that. Slowly he opens his eyes and is surprised to find himself alone on the bed. The moonlight flows into the room through the opposite window,giving it a light blue glow. The other end of the the room where the bed sits is left in shallow darkness.

"Could she have moved" he thinks to himself as he slowly gets off the bed. The deafening silence makes it creepier every passing minute. The wind blows the pale curtains, making it dance on the moonlight. Questions start rushing through this head as he scans the place carefully in all angles. His heart beats a bit faster than usual. All he can hear are howling wolves and hooting owls.

"Slowly he makes his way outside the room unto the balcony. It's a long balcony with lots of doors on each sides. All lights are out. And the balcony if filled with darkness. It takes a few seconds before his eyes start adjusting to the environment. He is now able to make out certain materials but not very clearly.

"What kind of hotel puts off all lights in the middle of the night and where the heck is Aisha?" He questions himself as he decides which way to go. After a long pause, he decides to get down to the lobby to find out what exactly is going on. He slowly takes soft steps towards the stairs on his left. All the time straining his eyes to make out objects that he could potentially crush into.
A few minutes away from their hotel room, He hears someone grunt and then a soft thud from the room he just left. He quickly spins around facing the source of the sound. With nothing to defend himself he puts up his fists and heads back slowly to the room to check it out.

Three steps, two steps, and finally a step to the entrance of the room. He peers into the room and what he sees shakes him. Lying in the moonlight just in front of the opened window is a body. Probably lifeless due to the amount of blood oozing from it.

He scans the room very slowly and gets very vigilant. With his fists still in battle position he slowly takes a few steps into the room, ready to land some strong punches at any threat that might jump out. He now locks his eyes at the lifeless body and slowly moves to it. With his right foot, he shakes it but the body does not move. He does it once again to prove his doubt but the body still doesn't move.
He then squats beside it and starts searching it. From what he finds, this is the dead body of a swat member.
That only means one thing. They've found them. His eyes widen as the thought unfolds itself in his head.

Just as he stands up, a soft but strong hand emerges from the darkness and covers his mouth and the other pulls him backwards into a choke, pressing hard on his mouth so he doesn't make a sound. "Shhhhhhh" the person says. From the pair of soft breasts piercing his back he then realizes the presence of Aisha.

"Don't scare me like that." He muffles.
"Keep your voice down genius, they're here."
"I know they're here."
"Then do us both a favor by shutting up." She says as she releases her hand from his lips but continues holding him to herself.
"What did you stab him with" he asks pointing to the dead swat cop.
"You'll see." She replies. "Follow me......quietly." She continues.
She finally lets him go loose and leads the way. As she steps into the light, duke realizes she has a sword strapped to her back.
"Where did you get that?" He whispers.
"What did I tell you about staying quiet?"She scowls.
With duke right behind her, she climbs out the window and hangs unto the window frame careful not to fall. She probably wouldn't survive the fall if she did fall. It's a long way down for a two floor building. Just then she spots another swat cop right below her. A perfect assassination it would be. But not from this height. She needs to go a little lower.

Thankfully the moons position does not give her away by shadow.
"Stay here" She whispers to duke and starts to descend to a reasonable height. As she gets low enough to strike, she slowly draws out a katana from its sheath and drops down unto the swat cop, sinking it into his helmet as she lands from above.
Dukes eyes open in shock of the display.
Aisha signals for him to get down and he quickly does so.

After getting down, he looks at the lifeless body and back at Aisha.
"I should be arresting you by now." He says. 
"Now you know what I killed the other guy with." She replies. "Cmon we've got to get outta here." She continues.
"How did they find us?" Duke asks confused.
"That wretched lobby guy sold us out. I told you. We're popular." She says as she peers over the side of the building unto the front where their car is parked. A dozen of the swat cops patrol the place, heavily armed.

"Looks like we're not going this way." He says. She puts the sword back in its sheath and takes out a pistol with a silencer attached from her belt.
"You had this the whole time?" Duke asks.
"What do I look like? A nun?" She replies sarcastically. "Cmon let's go the other way."
Duke bends to pick up the dead cops gun. An FN P90. "Sweet!" He exclaims and follows Aisha.

At the other side Aisha peeps once more. A swat cop stands fully armed with his back facing her. She turns back to duke and motions with her finger on her lip, depicting silence.  She slowly comes out, with her gun pointed at the cop, then with stealth she moves close enough to attack. When she gets close enough, she taps the soldier on the right with her left hand and upon turning, shoves her knee hard into his groin, causing him to bend and with the gun in her right, performs a heavy jab at the back of his neck. The soldier collapses with a thud.
"I wouldn't wanna be that guy." Duke comments.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Aisha asks duke who seems totally confused. She begins to undress the unconscious cop and then gets dressed in them.
"What are you doing?" Duke asks.
"Gimme your gun." She says, totally ignoring his question.
"Why?" He questions her.
"Well you can't be holding a gun when you're arrested?"
"This is dangerously smart. What if we get caught.?"
"Don't worry. I'm a professional at this."
Duke hands over the gun to her and she takes him as prisoner. 
"I have the detective. I'm bringing him in. I repeat. I'm bringing him in." She says into the radio, imitating a masculine voice.

She leads duke off towards the swat team gathered up front.
"We have him." One sounds as Aisha approaches with duke handcuffed. The other swat cops approach them and take duke into one of the swat vehicles.
Anna finally comes out the building and sees duke in the vehicle. Her facial expression shows one of worry and disappointment as she enters the vehicle together with other swat cops. Duke keeps his head down, trying to escape her gaze.

"Hey you. Where is the thief?" One swat cop asks the disguised Aisha.
"She escaped." She says flatly In that masculine voice and joins another swat vehicle different from the one containing duke and Anna. The doors shut and the vehicles drive away from the hotel.
