Ch. 34 Playing CSI ( Just Sasha again)

[shiivster]

' ... yeah maybe i am' *she looks at Kristian and relaxes again. she looks at Jason and shakes her head. he confuses the heck out of her. then realizes he was more like Paco. he became nasty in the last month, but that was because of some sickness hurting him on the inside. he bit everyone because he was hurting and was scared of getting more hurts.

'yup .. thats gotta be it. right Jason?' *she leaves it open, as he isn't really paying attention and figures he'll ignore her comment with an auto response*

[jeflint]

"Unless you want me to fly over there," Sasha says over the phone. "That would be nice. I left one of my business cards on the dash of my car," Sasha says walking away from the hospital. "And that's fine, if they're like dmitri I'm sure I'll be fine."

[dakota]

" Huh?" Jason said, pulling out the otherwise concealed earphones he wore, " I missed what you said, Sierra, I was listening to the police frequencies." He held up the small scanner from alongside him.


" No, I'll be there shortly." Avi replied and hung up. He poked his head in the TV room for a moment," I have to go out, if you guys need me, I'll be on band-adio." He didn't wait for an answer and left quickly. Then Ashley's bike started up and left in a hurry. " That's not like Avi." Jason said.


Sasha heard the bike approaching her ten minutes later, and it stopped short. Avi flipped up his helmet visor and smirked, " The others needed the car, I hope this is okay? " He offered a spare helmet.

[shiivster]

*Sierra shrugs and gives him half a smile 'no worries. you already answered it for me'. *she settles on a chair and frowns. then looking up 'you got a tie in to this Control thing, right? then you can get a list of who's who from them. right? bad enough i'n now on that list. the least you guys can do is make sure that i know who else is on the list and what powers they have. that way i don't feel like an idiot.

'but Kristian thinks i'm being paranoid. what with Wraith showing up everywhere we go. so he's either got one of our bandaids, or he's jacked into the system and is listening in. but paranoid me is talking again. sorry. he's unsettling to know in the first place .. so. you do things with toys, or what should be considered toys. can't we get more and use them in our favor? .. like .. itching powder bombs? .. or things like that? irritants and distractions .. ?

[jeflint]

Sasha eyes the bike with a mixed expression and reluctantly gets onto the bike slowly and reluctantly. Tentatively she puts on the helmet, the manner by which she puts it on indicating her familiarity with bikes and their protection gear. After a few minutes of fiddling with the helmet it more or less fits, all be it a tad loose.

"This will have to do," she says leaning forward and clutching onto Avi as tightly as she can. Despite her ability to regenerate it's apparent Sasha has had little experience with motorcycles and their operations. "We need to see a man about his thugs working over my best employee," Sasha says. "Nick mentioned in passing where he'd be, lets go check that out."

[dakota]

" It's okay, I've driven it enough to know how to crash without it hurting too much." Avi smirked. " Hey, not so tight, I need to breathe." He said as he eased away from the curb, and drove in a cautious manner.

As they neared the place that Sasha directed them, Avi asked over his shoulder," You have a plan?"


" Yeah, NSCA has files on all of us. I can get you into it." Jason nodded. " Wraith showing up is just coincidence, but he is most likely in on the Rags scam, so he might have had someone watching for us. Odds are that creep in the morgue tipped him off. What did you have in mind by toys?" His interest was clearly perked.

" I'm gonna go check on Janie. she might need some company with Dmitri missing." Kristian got up and walked out after giving sierra a peck on the cheek.

[jeflint]

"Sorry, I've never been on a motorcycle before," Sasha says easing her throttling hug on him, but her knuckles are still white as she holds on.

"You go in the back, I go in the front and we shoot them," Sasha says seriously. "I'm planning on giving them one option to make right before I set the building on fire and keep them in their till they die," Sasha says in a serious tone. "Do you have any suggestions?"

[shiivster]

*Sierra blinks with shock and then looks at Kristian 'i didn't do it. i didn't ... i didn't lead him on. he's got Alice. why did he kiss me?' *she rubs at the cheek. while her grasp on the 'modern world has improved greatly she's still as dense as a brick in other places.

'lemme guess, his way at getting back at me for ruining his fun with the water balloons?'

*she is obviously a little out of sorts and rather confused now. 'not gonna tell Alice. don't need her thinking i'm stealing from her. oh man i can't think straight. think i'll make biscuits or something. maybe cookies .. no i know .. brownies. those freeze well and don't need to be iced. brown sugar ones this time. yeah, thats what i'll do'

*she stands up and moves over to carefully hug Kristian, a sign she's really bothered by it. her over compensation to not hurting anything about her.

[dakota]

(GM Not: Sorry, big flubb up, Kristian left the room, not Jason. So corrected)

" Calm down Sierra, he just likes you and I doubt he sees me as a threat to your relationship." Jason chuckled as Kristian started to leave, only to be stopped by Sierra's hug, which was tighter than she obviously meant. " It's okay, Sierra. I... Si, I can't breathe. " He gasped. Jason found the whole thing amusing.


Avi just looked at Sasha in disbeleif. " I have to introduce you to Jason. You're about as subtle as he is. Now how about telling me your real plan?"

[shiivster]

*Sierra lets go as if she's scalded and then hugs herself 'sorry .. sorry ... ... sorry' it's clear that she's now fully flustered, she closes her eyes and takes a deep breath.

*she opens the eyes and then looks at her feet. 'yeah, thats a good idea. sorry .. i'm just thinking of myself. i better get started on those brownies then.' *she slips out past Kristian and into the kitchen. she wonders if she'll be trustworthy and not squeeze when scared.

[dakota]

" It's okay, Sierra." Kristian comforted and followed along. He sat down acrossed the island," Okay, so what was all that about?"

[jeflint]

"Avi, I haven't a plan. I want to find out why they attacked my employee and I want to make them pay for it in a way that rich and powerful people can understand," Sasha said calmly.

[shiivster]

'i know he's been gone a while, but i got the impression that i wasn't wanted or needed. from Kerry i mean, about the same time i figured out that guys that have girlfriends didn't want me talking to them. at least without htem n the same room. so, as stupid as that sounds, i can't be alone with Dimitri or Jason without Janie or Alice about.

'you just took me off guard. i was thinking things and i felt the kiss .. and .. i guess i'm not past the blurting stage yet. *sensored word .. oh my*' *she covers the mouth and she says quietly 'i think i'll go sit outside now. didn't mean to say that'

[dakota]

" okay, we can make that work then." Avi shrugged with a smirk. When they got to the door, he looked at Sasha, " Stand back, I'm gonna show you why I'm called Claymore." He walked straight up to it, and his body seemed to shimmer for a moment before a shock wave of destruction lashed out, knocking the door from it's hinges and flattening the doorman on the other side in the process. He beckoned Sasha to lead the way .


" Relax, would you?" Kristian insisted. "Besides, with have to stay close in case Alice and the others need us. and you already know running away solves nothing."

[shiivster]

*Sierra eases herself onto a counter and then hugs herself and crosses her ankles. its clear she's not going anywhere, but she's still unsure of herself.

'yeah .. i spose i better stay inside in case we gotta go fast or something. uhh .. sorry i had uhh .. a .. meltdown'
