Everything was going great!

Until, Acra, Axis , and Veker showed up behind us, trying to attack us. Acra had her blow-dart in hand, and Veker was holding a single, handheld dagger. The ones used like swords, that the throwing ones.

"Oh come on!" I shouted at them. "Why do you guys always appear when we're trying to escape? It's not fair! And it's getting annoying!"

"Great work Veker," another person stepped out behind the three. This person was taller. So, she was obviously the leader.

"Should we be running? Because the Leader-Person has guns. " I asked to a Trivia and Pay who were casually strolling. "Also, why does-"

"You: Hands up and freeze!" a Leader Person yelled at us, interrupting my sentence, and pointed her gun at us.

"Hey!" Trivia called pointing her fingers instead of putting her hands up. In fact, I was the only one following the Leader-Person's instructions. "Why don't you guys try minding your own business and leave. And what are you, illiterate? At least talk to us in complete sentences."

The Leader Person pointing the gun lowered it in surprise, exactly a millimeter lower than before. I don't think she was used to being talked to in such a manner by their previous enemies and prisoners. However, the surprise wore off and she straightened. "Stop right there, villains!"

Then I turned back to the Leader-People. "Like I was saying before you guys started to point your gun and make us hold up our hands... Acra and Axis also helped too, you know, with the whole kidnapping us thing. It wasn't just Veker."

"Umm..." Leader-Person was looking all around except at us.

"Silence! This does not concern you, Crown," Leader-Person told me, using the word Crown like it was an insult.

I arched my eyebrows. "That isn't fair teamwork. In fact, it was just Acra and Axis who were capturing us, you know? Veker over here was just driving all that time. Acra was the actual person who shot her little blow-darts and made us go unconscious."

Trivia, on my right side, smacked her forehead. It must've been a mosquito or something.

Acra and Axis however, looked stunned. But that didn't mean Acra lowered her blow-dart. She still seemed ready to shoot it at me.

"Also-" I started, but Trivia cut me off.

"Target," she hissed through gritted teeth. "Stop talking to the enemy!"

"Yes, but seriously! How come Veker gets all the credit for kidnapping us, when all he did was drive? If anything, Acra and Axis did all the work of taking us here. Besides, Veker didn't even answer my questions. Or do a good job of tying us up."

Trivia face-palmed again. Must be another mosquito.

She grabbed our arms (Pay and mine), and started to drag us away.

"Hey! Stop right there!" Leader-Person said, gun shaking a little, but still holding it up to us. "We can do this the easy way or the hard way."

"What's the hard way?" Pay swatted Trivia's hand away and turned to the Leaders. "What's the worst you'll do, put us in jail again?"

It wasn't Leader-Person who answered this time. Rather, it was Acra. She pointed to her blow dart and the guns. "Otherwise we'll have to use this. And trust us, we only use this when the situation is dire."

"Do it. I dare you," Pay said with an over-confident smirk.

"Hey, if you do injure us by any chance, can you guys pay our medical bills for when we seek medical attention to heal from the wound?" I turned free from Trivia's grip.

No one answered my question. They all just turned and stared at me. I'm pretty sure that the right eye of one Leader-Person twitched.

"I was just asking," I put my hands up in defense. "Medical bills are expensive, you know?"

"Target. Zip it." Trivia gave me a murderous face (like she wanted to murder me).

"But I haven't even gotten to the good part!" I whined.

"Since you can't seem to get to the point, your speaking license is revoked!"

"Liars!" Leader-Person accused us. "You're only saying that so you guys can escape and report back about our base to your boss."

"Maybe you guys should let go of your huge 'I'm a good guy, I know what's right' ego and maybe listen to us for once. Because you guys have no right to accuse us of that, when you don't even have any evidence," Trivia butted in.

"Besides, there's no need for them to report back to their bosses," a voice from behind said. "Not if they're the ones who attacked your little base in the first place."

The defendant's eyes widened. Does that mean there was a ghost behind us? The three of us immediately spun on our feet, to see no ghost, but a person. A very fimillair person. A person who turned out to be ex-boss number 1.

Remember when I said that the whole escaping thing was really easy?

Well... I think I might have jinxed it.
