Chapter 5

To say Rei was out of it was an understatement.

The next day, Rei had woken up late, put his shirt on backwards, grabbed two different left shoes and put them on, and he forgot to do his homework. Rei Kon, almighty prodigy who never forgets to do anything forgot to do his homework.

Now, this may not seem like such a big deal to you all, but Rei never forgot anything in his whole lifetime.

After Rei fixed his shirt and shoes to the correct way (because Tala and Max had pointed it out for him), they all headed to school, a long day they knew was ahead of them.

Now, once Kai saw Rei, he knew immediately something was wrong. Rei's hair was disheveled, and he was sickenly pale with bags under his eyes. Worry immediately filled Kai's eyes.

Kai frowned, as he went up to Rei who was alone at his locker. "Hey,"

Rei jumped, surprised and turned his head towards Kai. Kai's frown deepened. Rei never was surprised when he snuck up on him. "Oh, hey."

"Are you okay?"

Rei nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just having an off day is all."

Kai nodded, and looked down at Rei's right hand which was wrapped up in bandages. "You hurt your hand?"

Rei looked down at his hand, looking as if he had never even known it was there. "Uh, yeah. When I was cooking."

Just then the bell rang and Rei looked up. "I better get to class."

Kai nodded. "Right. I'll see you third period?"

Rei gave a small smile. "Yeah." And he walked off.

Kai's eyes narrowed. Something was definitely going on.

The day continued on in the same pattern; Rei shuffling through his classes absentmindedly and Kai snooping around, trying to figure out what was wrong.

Eventually the school day ended and they all went home and began training for the mission on Sunday. Rei went into training mode and seemed to be back to normal. That is until after he was done, he went back into spacing-out mode.

Saturday was uneventful in the least. Training all day to make sure everything was perfect. Nothing could go wrong. They finished that night and Sunday was spent getting the materials needed ready to go. Rei seemed to be back to normal now and was his happy-go-lucky self, to everyone's relief.

Around 8:30 that night, they got in the helicopter and left. Rei sat in the back, with his eyes closed, mentally preparing himself for the night to come. He really couldn't afford to mess this up.

Not only that, but tonight's mission was going to be slightly different from most. Tala was going to be accompanying him into the museum. Tala was the second closest person to Rei's physical abilities.

Rei had really made sure Tala was ready before making this decision. He would have never let his friend be in danger if he didn't think he could handle it.

The museum they were going to tonight was in Austin, Texas. About a 3 and a half hour flight in the speedy helicopter they were in. Right about now, they were a half an hour away.

The reason Rei needed Tala tonight was because they had more than one artifact they needed to recover from that museum. Three to be exact.

A gold tiger staff with two emerald gems as eyes, a sacred scroll that was made of platinum, and a 200 carrot tiger's eye necklace, all of which are in totally different places in the museum. And this is a very big museum. Three stories high and has the distance of a major mall.

Anyways, Rei was trying not to dwell on that and decided now was a good time to get dressed.

"Tala, come on. Time to suit up." Rei said as he grabbed a fake-breasted bra.

Tala put the helli on auto-pilot until Tyson got up and took over (they figured it would be better if they had two pilots just in case and about two years ago, started training Tyson for days like today).

Tala's outfit was similar to Rei's only slightly manlier. Well, sorta. It was a black leather jumpsuit like Rei's but it didn't have a hood and was tight everywhere. And when I say everywhere, I mean everywhere. It wasn't I-can't-breath tight, but let's just put it this way; you could tell he was a guy.

He also had black leather boots and his zipper was about mid-chest so you could see some of his chest ((cue fan-girl squeal as they melt to the floor)). Tala had also dyed his hair black and had made it so the tips of his hair curled in slightly. He had in blue cat eye contacts.

"Awesome." Tala appraised himself as he looked in the mirror.

"That's not permanent, is it?" Rei asked.

Tala looked at Rei. "What, my hair? No, it will wash out when I take my next shower. Only with shampoo though."

"Good. How far till we're at the museum?" Rei asked.

"Seventeen miles."

"I'm getting out here then. I wanna run. Meet you there Red." Angel said slipping on her sunglasses and jumping out of the helicopter.

They all stared after her. "Well, that was unexpected." Tyson said.

Tala sighed. "At least I don't have to run."

"How many more minutes till midnight, Yellow?" Angel asked through her head piece.

"Umm . . . about twenty. You don't have to run at full speed." Max said. "Just keep up with the heli. We'll be right over it at exactly midnight."

"Are you getting a frequency?" a man asked.

"Hold on, damn it! I have to search the whole area for at least ten miles in each direction." Another man said with a colder voice.

"Hn."

"Zzzz-just keep up w-zzz-"the radio suddenly sounded of a young boy's voice.

"-Wait, go back to that." The other man said.

"It was probably just some kids playing around with walkie-talkies but okay." The cold voiced man said.

"Zzzz-midnight." The young boy's voice stopped talking. The two men looked at each other for a moment. Suddenly another voice came on. A young woman voice. "Sweet deal. Ooh-! Look! A camera! Cheese!"

A different young man's voice came on. "Please tell me you did not just get a picture taken of yourself."

The woman's voice laughed. "Yup!"

The same man groaned along with three others. "Angel! Great, now they have a picture of you."

The men smiled. "Bingo."

"So?" Angel said. "It's not like they can catch me with some stupid photo!"

Another man sighed. "No, but it will narrow their search by a lot. You don't exactly look like other people Angel."

Angel sighed. "Shut up Red."

"What's up with these nicknames? Why can't we just call each other by our real names?" the youngest voice said.

"Because Yellow, people could be listening to our conversation." The two men stiffened. "Brownie and I went over this with you three years ago!" Angel said.

"I don't get why I have to be Brownie." Another boy who hadn't spoken before mumbled.

Angel sighed. "Just deal with it, anyways, where is my brother?"

"He had an emergency call at work and had to go in." Yellow said.

"AHH!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!" Brownie yelled. "G-G-GET AWAAAAAY!!"

"Whoa! What's going on up there, Blue? The heli just hella jerked around." Angel asked.

"SPIDER!!!" Brownie yelled.

"Uhh . . . there's a spider and Brownies outburst scared me. Sorry." Blue explained.

"Brownie! Stop running around the helicopter!" Red yelled.

"Ohhhh," Yellow moaned. "I think I'm going to be sick."

Angel laughed.

The two men sweat-dropped.

"These are the people we have been trying to catch for the past four years?" the man asked.

The cold voiced man shook his head in disbelief.

"Mayday! Mayday! We're goin' down!" Blue shouted laughing.

"Aaaaahh!!!" Red, Yellow, and Brownie all yelled. Angel laughed with Blue.

"Come on Blue. Stop swerving the heli on purpose! I don't want my accountabillabuddy(1) not be able to join me tonight because he pissed his pants." Angel said laughing.

"Fine." Blue grumbled.

Red, Yellow, and Brownie all sighed dramatically.

"I'm alive!!"Brownie yelled.

"Brownie, stop hugging yourself." Red said.

"But I'm alive!"

"Who cares?"

"Shut up before I come up there and make you." Angel threatened.

The radio was silent.

"Did we lose the signal?"

"No dumbass, they just aren't talking."

"Shut up ass wipe."

"Dick wad."

"Whatever."

" . . . I'm booored!!" Yellow whined.

"Let's sing a song!" Blue yelled.

"You can't be serious!" the cold voice man groaned.

"Why did that just remind me of Barney?" Red asked himself.

Angel laughed. "Alright, Brownie, hook my iPod up please."

"What song?"

"Humm . . . Born For This by Paramore please!!"

"Alright, hold on a sec."Brownie said.

"Do we sing?" Blue asked.

"Yes, you sing the boy parts, and I sing the girl parts. Obviously."Angel said.

"It's portable karaoke!!" Yellow cheered.

Angel laughed.

Suddenly, music blared through the radio.

"Ready?" Angel asked.

"Yeah!" Red, Yellow, and Blue cheered. ((Haha. Primary colors. Lol.))

"I'm not singing." Brownie grumbled.

"Suit yourself!" Angel said, waiting a few seconds before she started to sing.

"Oh no, I just keep on falling,"

"Back to the same old!" the boys shouted.

"Where's hope when misery keeps on crawling?"

"On my way Ay!"

"With your faith, you'll trigger a land slide."

"Victory!"

"Kill off this common sense of mind.

It takes acquired minds to taste, to taste, to taste this wine

You can't down it with your eyes

So we don't need the headlines

We don't need the headlines

We just want . . . ."

"We want the airwaves back, we want the airwaves back!"

"Everybody sing like it's the last song you will ever sing!

Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?

Everybody live like it's the last day you will ever see!

Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?

. . . Right now, you're the only reason,"

"I'm not letting go! Oh!"

"Time out, if everyone's worth pleasing,"

"Well ha ha!"

"You'll trigger a landslide,"

"Victory!"

"To kill off their finite state of mind.

It takes acquired minds to taste, to taste, to taste this wine

You can't down it with your eyes.

So we don't need the headlines,

No we don't want your headlines,

We just want . . . "

"We want the airwaves back, we want the airwaves back!"

"Everybody sing like it's the last time you will ever sing!

Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?

Everybody live like it's the last day you will ever see!

We were born for this!"

"We were born for this!"

"We were born for this!!" They all finished together.

"Whooo! That was AWESOME!!" Yellow and Blue yelled together.

"Yeah, I forgot how awesome your voice is Angel. We haven't heard you sing for a while." Red said.

"Aww! Thanks you guys!" Angel said.

The two men stared at the radio with their mouths slightly open in awe.

"Wow." The cold voiced man said.

"That was really good."

"She would kick ass in American Idol."

"Yeah, no doubt."

"Hey! I can see the museum now guys!" Angel said.

"No duh, we're five minutes away from midnight!" Yellow said.

"I'm gonna go ahead." Angel said.

"Okay—"You could hear Angel pick up speed.

"H-hey! I'm getting a reading that there's another radio inside the museum!" Brownie said in a panicking voice.

The two men froze.

"So?"

"They're listening in on our conversation!"

"Oooh! Hello people!" Angel greeted kindly.

"Angel! This is a serious matter!" Brownie yelled.

"Hmm . . . you're right." Angel agreed solemnly.

"Aww man!" Brownie whined.

"What?"

"We can't connect with them so we can listen to them!"

"Damn right." The cold voiced man growled.

"Well that's not fair." Angel stated. "What kind of radio is it?"

"I . . . can't tell. All I know is its Russian made."

"Ooh!! Russian! Maybe the people who are listening are Russian too!"

The men froze again. "How did she know?"

"Guess, moron."

"Shut up you ass."

"Whatever."

"I'm gonna say hi! Zdravstvuite!" Angel said cheerily.

The men's eyes twitched.

"What the hell did you just say Angel?" Blue asked.

"She said hello in Russian, stupid." Red said.

"You would know huh Red. You're Russian too right?" Yellow asked.

"Yes." Red said smugly.

"Get ready, thirty seconds." Brownie announced. "Are you there yet?"

"Duh, I've been here for like twenty seconds. So . . . Mr. or Mrs. Possibly Russian people, where are you?"

"Uhh, Angel? They can't answer you."

"I know that. The question was directed towards Brownie."

"Oh, well . . . they are on the third story . . . ahh . . . damn. That's all I can tell you. Ahh! Five seconds!"

"Four . . . three . . . two . . . one . . . Have fun guys!"Yellow said.

Red threw a rope out off the helicopter and slid down it. When he was near the end of the rope, he let go and crouched to the ground as he landed. He looked up at the guards who were surrounding him with a grin.

"Hello boys," Red said standing. "I'm Red," They all had confused expressions on their faces. "Angel's sidekick." Red laughed briefly at their perplexed expressions and how they still haven't moved to attack him yet. "Although, I always thought sidekick was used as a hero's term." Red said putting a finger on his check. The he grinned evilly. "Oh well."

Red ran through the guards as he dodged their attempts at stopping him. Suddenly, he was surrounded. "Hmm . . . well this could be a problem. Too bad for you it's not."

"Hold your breath." Angel's voice told him through the earpiece.

Red did as Angel told him just as Angel threw a sleeping bomb into the big crowd of guards. Red jumped straight out and went to stand next to Angel on a near-by tree branch.

"Well, that's all the outside guards." Angel mumbled.

"Already?" Red said.

"Yeah, finished 'em off before I came to you."

"Now, inside." Red said.

Angel smiled widely. "Yup, let's go find our possibly Russian stalkers."

Red laughed. "They aren't stalkers Angel."

"Close enough." Angel murmured as she jumped out of the tree and headed towards the building, Red not far behind her.

Angel stopped a few feet from the door and pulled up her hood.

"Trip wires." Angel laughed. "How stupid do they think I am?"

Angel reached for the door, picking the lock with her fingernail and opened it. Suddenly, red lights started flashing everywhere and a loud alarm went off.

Angel cringed at the noise. "—Okay, that was pretty stupid." Angel said quickly.

Red laughed as he followed Angel inside.

"Okay, remember the plan?" Angel asked.

"Yeah—"

"—Forget it. Go turn of that damn noise."

Red laughed.

"Then you can go get the cane-staff thingy."

"Roger." Red laughed as he ran down the hall as Angel went the other way.

"You don't have to run." Angel said into the head piece now that they were apart. "We have a half an hour. This place is friggen huge."

Red laughed. "Right."

"Well, you three sure are quiet." Angel said noticing the lack of conversation on the other end.

"We're nervous." Max said.

Red laughed. "Oh, stop being such a wussy, Yellow."

Max huffed. "Fine."

"Augh! This friggen noise is really getting on my nerves!" Angel said holding her head.

"You act as if it's not your fault it's going off." Red said.

"Augh, whatever. Brownie, hook my iPod up again please. I need something to drown out this damn noise." Angel growled.

"Okay."

"Hey Angel? Have you noticed that there are no guards? Anywhere?" Red said.

Angel paused walking for a moment, her eyes narrowing. "You're right. What the hell is up with this place?" The alarm seemed to be getting louder to Angel. "Remind me again why we went through a door—mind you—the front door?"

"There is no other way, besides emergency exits and they all would have done the same thing." Yellow informed them.

"Ah."

"What song, Angel?"

"Disturbia by Rihanna."

The song suddenly started in her ear.

"Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum." Angel started to sing along as she walked down the hall. "Hey Red?" Angel said even though the song continued to play. "Do you think the elevator will work?"

Red laughed. "I wouldn't try it if I were you."

"Think it would be scarier than The Tower of Terror in Disney Land?" Angel asked grinning.

"Haha, definitely."

Angel started to sing along with the song again.

"It's a thief in the night to come and grab you

It can creep up inside you and consume you.

A disease of the mind, it can control you.

It's too close for comfort.

Put on your break lights, you're in the city of wonder.

Ain't gonna play nice, watch out you might just go under.

Better think twice, you train of thought will be altered.

So if you must falter be wise.

Your minds in Disturbia, it's like the darkness is light.

Disturbia, am I scaring you tonight?

Disturbia, Ain't used to what you like.

Disturbia, Disturbia.

Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum" Angel had reached the stairs and started to go up them.

"Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum.

Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum.

Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum.

Faded pictures on the wall, it's like they talking to me.

Disconnected unknown calls, the phone don't even ring." Angel reached the top of the stairs. "I'm on the third story." She announced.

"I'm almost to the control room." Red said.

Angel started to walk down the hall and noticed how the walls had huge windows all around the outside. Angel began to sing along again.

"Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum.

Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum.

Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum.

Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum—"Click!

Angel looked to the left only to come face to face with the barrel of a gun. "—Bummer."

Angel frowned and looked beyond the gun only to lock with blood red eyes.
