Evidence Warehouse

"Oh hey, I haven't noticed you, I'm Raven, and this is my room. As you can see,"

*Knock* *Knock*

"Security, it's actually so secure that you won't even be able to move, that's how secure it is, it's almost as if SOMEONE WAS SO SMART TO CLIMB INTO A FUCKING CRATE! TOO SMALL FOR THEM!"

Shaking myself, violently the crate doesn't even budge. "Anyways you must be wondering how I got here." Not too long ago there was a huge commission outside my crate, I thought of taking a peek outside but instead, I looked through the air holes.

I saw a group of cops running around unlit suddenly a forklift, came to me and lifted me. Not even a few seconds later I'm inside a truck and another crate is put on top of mine.

"Oh no." Trying to push the lid off, falling, I try again and feel it. A small gap appears between the lid and the walls of the crate. Getting my hope up, I push on, only for another crate to be placed on top of the previous one.

Getting crushed by the lid, I fall back down into the crate in such a weird way that my body gets stuck.

"Afterwards, I got transported to this warehouse. Still unable to move, my only hope of getting out is that Edward goes on a rampage during his escape and my crate gets accidentally opened during that time.

Suddenly shaking, I feel myself get lifted and carried somewhere. getting lowered onto the ground, I hear.

"Boss! This one had its lid pushed in." Knocking on my crate, I try to grab my gun to no avail. "Guess its contents also have to be crushed, open it like the others and see what's inside.

Prying at the crates with a crowbar, he cracks the lit open. Flying out of the crate like a ghost I wrap my hands around the guy and pull him into the now much more spacious crate.

"You opened the Pandora box, friend." Finally stopping, I let go of the worker. "James, James? Where are you?!"

Grabbing the crowbar, I take a deep breath. Jumping out of the crate, I throw the crowbar at the other worker. Sending him into shock, I grab him by the head and dig my knee into his face before he can scream.

Taking heavy breaths to calm myself. I look around, Walking closer to a table, I stop. Shaking my legs, I laugh. Stretching my legs, I enjoy the pull in my legs.

Hopping around for a bit, I notice what was in the other crates. "Money!" Jumping at it, I grab some of the bricks into my hands. "So this is how government funds the rest of.... less needed policies. "

It would be a shame if some of these bricks would go missing. Stuffing all my other pockets to the brim, I finally look around the room. it's part of the warehouse, connected to the offices with one wooden door, it's like a small garage.

Just quickly throwing the other guy into the crate with the other guy, I put on the cover.

Taking out my phone, I open a radar app. Looking around for Edwards's phone. Being in the warehouse, I walk out of the room into the warehouse. Seeing in the corner of my eyes cameras, I put my phone away and spread my arms apart.

Reminding myself how big the field of view is, I crack my neck. Seeing the camera turn, I fly like a bird to the crates. Looking around for the cameras I spot 3. Counting seconds to get used to their pattern, I run.

"one....two....three! Four!" Barely getting to the other boxes, I take a break in a safe spot. Pulling out the phone, I check where Edward is. Being pointed down the aisle, I get ready.

Spotting the exact crate in which he is, I jump out of my safe spot and enter the offices. I don't go for Edward no, no, no. He's too far in the open, I need the warehouse clothes.

I could have used those two's clothes, but one had a little bit of too much blood on it and the other was too small for me. Spotting the dresser room, I enter. Spotting a guy, dressing there, I smile.

"Hey, I'm the newbie." Looking at me, he suddenly gets a thought "The new guy? You're Greg! Welcome." Thank god there's a new guy, I think.

Walking over to the locker that has Greg on it, I grab a hold of the lock. Seeing the brand I sigh in relief. Giving it a good slam against the locker door, the spring clap goes loose.

"What was that?" Crouching, I tell him that I hit my toe.

Nodding his head he walks away. Standing fully up, I hear a loud crack in my back. "Guess I didn't stretch enough." Grabbing the full-body white plastic suit. I put it over my current clothes. Grabbing the helmet, I stuff my hair into it. "This is the only time I regret having long hair."

Now fully ready, I walk out of the dressing room. Seeing the cameras, I still slightly tilt my hat, so my face isn't fully seen. Grabbing a clipboard, I walk over to the crate that Edward is in. Tapping it, I whisper.

"It's me, Raven. I'll get you out in a minute. don't do anything stupid." Whistling, I call over the guy with the forklift. "This pile of crates is next, when you're done moving them, take out the old ones."

Getting a thumbs up, I try to act like I'm going back to the guys. Returning to the room, I quickly wipe any remaining blood on a cloth and throw it into the sink. Putting the lids on the remaining crates, I hear.

"Mr... Greg, I'm here about the investigation of the warehouse." Turning to the source I see a ginger woman with..... Amber? Recognizing each other. I see Amber try to act like we don't know each other.

Coughing into my hand, I grab a clipboard. Reading it, I speak. "We have, 1.7 Tons of narcotics here, and over 2.9 Million Aquars in small bills." Getting a nod from her, she leans on a nearby table.

"How much of Dreamaker did we find?"

Not needing to look since know how much Gunter had, I reply. "One crate" Seeing her smile widen, I get shivers down my back. "Well, I thank you for your assistance." Offering her hand for a handshake, I grab it only to get pulled closer.

"Gha!" Getting kicked in the stomach, I crumble to the ground. Holding my stomach, I hear the detective talk. "The Dreamaker was not transported to this warehouse, so how do you know there was only one crate?"

Showing my wide teeth, I throw my helmet at her. Covering her eyes, I see the guy arrive with the crates. "You Buffon! I need your help!" Lifting the two whole crates off him, he throws them to the side.

But before he can get out of the crate, the forklift operator backups with him and crashes into the warehouse shelves. Seeing them all fall over like dominos, I turn around only to get punched by the detective.

"Theresa!" Hearing Amber yell, I slip the detective now named Theresa. Stomping down onto her, she wraps around my leg, and like a snake climbs to my back. Jumping up, I fall on my back. Crushing Theresa between the floor and me.

I get up and throw the lid off the crate. Pulling out my cane, I swing it down on Theresa.

Catching it, she kicks me in the legs, to no avail. Kicking her into the side, she only tenses but doesn't have any big reaction. suddenly getting a wire wrapped around my leg, I get pulled back by Amber. Letting go of the cane, I try to grab at the wire to no avail.

Digging through my skin I managed to get a grip on the wire and free myself. KIcking Amber away, I grab my cane and try to charge, Thereas but stop. Holding what seems to be a whip made out of pure lighting, I hear it crackle loudly.

"Enough, drop it. And put your hands behind your head." Smiling, I do as she says. Walking to me. "Did you know that water is highly conductive?" Confused, she takes a step closer only to feel it. Stepping into a puddle she sees a broken pipe by the sink.

She ignores my warning and just dematerializes her whip. "Why should I be scared of water if there's no electricity nearby?" Shrugging my shoulders, I tell her that I warned her. Throwing the cable that I had wrapped around my neck. Theresas Eyes go wide as plates as she sees the small spark between the wires.

She tries to get out of the water but it's too late, Getting electrocuted, she falls to the floor just slightly shaking. "Who would have thought that Theresa Sparks would be done in by spark." Standing in the puddle with the rubber boots on, I thank the safety protocols at this place.

Hearing a muffled laughter behind me, I turn around to laughing Amber.

Asking her what's so funny she tells me that my one-liners are lame. Waving her off, we exit the room only to find the warehouse in ruins. Shelves were fallen over and Edward jumped around like crazy.

Looking at Amber, I ask. "So, what's your plan now?" Smiling, she says. "To see it through, I'm coming with you guys." Sighing, I tell her to find something that could hide her face.

Shaking her finger she pulls out a red scarf. Wrapping it around her head, she yells. "Ta-da" Looking like the little red riding hood, just a little bit more threatening.

"Edward! We're getting the hell out of here!" Giving me a nod, he kicks open a side wall through which we climb out to the parking lot, Running to a nearby none work car, I shatter the window from the outside.

Unlocking it, I husher everyone in. Taking off the plastic suit, I stuff it into the trunk. Getting in, I see Amber behind the wheel. "No, move." Trying to get her into the back, she tells me that from the last time, she learned a few tricks.

Breaking the under-wheel compartment, she grabs two cables and strikes them against each other.

*Beep* *Beep* Setting the car alarm off, she just laughs. Striking another two against each other. The windscreen wipers some alive. Swallowing she strikes another two only for the radio to turn on.

Finally having enough of it. Reach over, I stuff a screwdriver into the key socket and twist it. Starting the car, I tell Amber that the early cars have weak key protection, so a really flat screwdriver will do the trick.

Finally getting the car started we drive off.

Another one done :D

Hope you like it, cause if you don't, I would like to know what to change. also, can someone tell me if there's some specific part of the story that they're interested like Alice and Raven's history, or Theresa hunting down Raven?
