chapter 19|Cas

My blood ran cold. I felt myself freeze up as I processed what she said. Three days? How? It was just the morning a few hours ago. Hibi looked as confused as I did. But she was quiet. Irina swallowed harshly, her eyes darting from the both of us before training on Hibi.

"You went back?" Hibi looked down, avoiding her disappointed gaze. "Why?" She searched her face for answers but got none. She then caught my eye, anger flashing over her face "Did he make you" She took a threatening step towards me "Did you force her!?"

Hibi immediately stepped forward to defend me. "No, he didn't, I suggested checking it out" She lied through her teeth. I was the one that insisted on going but when I opened my mouth to tell the truth I was hushed with a sharp glare.

Irina's eyes softened with empathy "Hibi-

The window behind us suddenly smashed open and something rolled into the room, stopping at the back of my feet. I glanced down at it, trying to figure out what it was. "What the fuck is tha-

Irina was cut off by Hibi harshly shoving her back, causing her to stumble back and fall into the kitchen. She then turned to me with frightened eyes and tackled me to the floor, before dragging me back behind the couch. I looked up at her with questioning eyes but she only glanced down at me with seriousness coating her eyes.

Grenade. She mouthed.

My eyes widened but before I could answer it went off. We were both thrown back, the couch slamming us into the opposite wall. I groaned in pain and looked to see if she was okay but she was already on her feet, looking like the blow didn't even affect her.

The grenade had blown a massive hole into the motel room entrance and our room was now exposed to the outside. "Fugitive Hibiscus, whatever the fuck your last name is, we have received word that you are in town and demand you hand yourself over immediately for questioning and punishment for your crimes!"

I glanced up at Hibi shocked to see that all seriousness on her face had been wiped away. All that was left was mischief and slight amusement. "Stand up Cas it's the Feds, all they talk is shit" She helped me up.

She then walked to what was previously the entrance and yelled out of it "You'll have to catch me first motherfuckers!" Another grenade flew towards the room but this one landed in her outstretched hand. "Grenades again? Weak!" She yanked out some metal thing from the grenade with her teeth and threw it back.

Another explosion happened but this time it was on the ground. Hibi rushed back to me and took my hand before shooting me a devilish smirk. "C'mon, they'll recover from that soon and we need to get out of here".

She dragged me to the back entrance and I willingly followed, still mentally processing what just happened. I reached for the handle but the door was ripped open by someone from the outside. A guy in full armour and uniform busted in with a gun in hand, the barrel pointed in between Hibi's eyes.

"Yeah that's right sweetheart, hands in the air. Ol' Adaora never specified whether she wanted you dead or alive" Hibi's hands slowly went up. I stared at her in shock at her complacent attitude and the gun turned to me "Who's this? Another one of your conquests?"

Okay, that stung.

Hibi snorted "So what if he is?" I gave her a side-eye that she ignored.

"Adaora never specified whether or not I should bring prisoners either" His forefinger fell to the trigger and I felt a drop of sweat roll down my neck. We slowly backed up, hands in the air. I was slowly getting scared as I saw how thin we were on options but that was until my eyes caught a tuft of blonde hair moving in the corner.

"Say bye-bye to your bitch" Hibi let out a snort of amusement which was covered by a cough. The sound of metal colliding with skin rang through the hair as the Fed's eyes lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

Irina stood behind him with a fierce look in her eye and an upturned metal pan, that was rusting on the edges. Hibi shot down to grab the now knocked out officers handgun and jumped back to her feet, thanking Irina.

"Don't sweat it, but you guys gotta go" She glanced at Hibi "I can distract them whilst you guys run but you won't make it far if you don't go now!" Hibi bit her lip in questioning before nodding. Irina gave her a motherly kiss on the forehead and gave me a warning look before ushering us out.

Hibi basically dragged me down the stairs and we began sneaking around the back motel, which happened to be through a dumpster. Hibi must've seen the unpleasant look on my face cause she let out a snicker.

"What? His royal highn-ass can't handle the stench?" She chuckled at her joke and I had to physically pinch myself to stop myself from telling her how correct she was. We were soon out and were now in the alleyway beside the motel. I took this chance to assess what was going on.

A large number of cars, big and small, were parked outside the nearly destroyed motel. Many guards stood next to their vehicles with guns and uniform in hand. Some had even larger weapons. All of this for what?

I glanced down at the woman beside me. Yes, she was tall, quite muscular and not to forget crafty and combined with her impressive fighting ability she was indeed a force. But to think that they had all these people gathered to come and get one person was indeed laughable. Hibi didn't look too bothered by it either.

That was until Irina was dragged out by two officers in tight handcuffs.

I had to pull Hibi back to make sure she didn't go off running to help her because I knew anything she'd do now would be incredibly stupid. She eventually stopped struggling in my arms and settled into them reluctantly.

We both watched together as Irina was carried away in a huge bus that was tailed by several other cars. Hibi dug her nails into my arm before turning around to face me. "We're going to get her back" She stated, confidently.

I raised an eyebrow "We are?" She nodded, a familiar cunning smile creeping onto her face.

"Yes, we are".
