5 - Lady Luck


Vic did a load of screaming and kicking, so Leo was able to slip out of sight. When the car park was empty and quiet again, Leo made her way over to the Harley, which was indeed scratched and indented, consistent with a crash and roll. 

She well remembered the 'dance' they'd practiced at summer camp where she and Vic had first met and been teamed up. She looped a limber leg over the back of the bike, and gave a certain panel a good whack with her heel. Nothing. Probably the mechanism was disturbed by the accident.

She tried again, neater, and heard it click. Bent double  she felt around for the box that released right away. You beauty, she said, sniffing the sandalwood as she tried to open it. Ah, now she needed a key. 

She replayed Vic's screams in her head. "Unbelievable nasty desperate eewoks! Right ! " Ridiculous Vic! I'll be with you in a minute. Just need to look u-n-d-e-r something on the right. Yup. There it was, the little key, pressed with gum under the handlebar. Click and release. The signal picked up the the data and sent it through Quadrant 2 tech, completely mocked by security channels, and consequently hardly ever checked. 

Leo didn't wait for confirmation of receipt. She started to run, one because she was worried about Vic, and two, because someone had seen her. 

"Stop right there!"

Right in front of her was filthy bloodied Hexus. Leo was beginning to wonder if Gus had put up a fight, and whose blood it was on this monster, when she felt the buzz of an incoming in the back pocket that housed her phone. 

She stood right there. 

"Give me the data."

She prayed again, second time in five minutes. 

The lights across the floor flickered, distracting Hexus just enough for her to duck away. All hell broke loose, there were guns blazing and cars alarms blaring. A couple of bikes exploded. Leo was flying down the stairs when the stairwell was cut off, doors slamming above and below her.

A hand reached out from a cupboard and dragged her in as speakers blared: "Suspect apprehended. Danger over. Stay where you are. Danger over. Stay where you are."

"Bride apprehended, " came a familiar voice. "Danger over. Stay where you are."

"We're going to fly all night...! Nothing's going to make me miss that wedding!"
