"Your eyes had that "hunted" look in them." Doc spoke frankly. "Like whatever it was, you just wanted to get away from it. I've felt that way about a lot of things, even the rest of the world. Why do you think I stayed in that clinic for the past four decades?"

Raine once again tried to hold back her tears, but with those words, she just couldn't find the strength to be strong, and soon found herself hugging the old Hornet gently as she cried into his hood.

"Only a few minutes more till we're there," said Delfina.
~~~~~
"Oh, lovely," Ebony said sarcastically, "Someone wants to see me. I feel so flattered. Now who is this someone, if I may ask?"
She did, however, let the SUVs 'guide' to Grayston's hotel, yet she did hope that Misty was doing her job. If she was in trouble, she hoped that the little autogyro would alert Brett and the rest. She also kept her own radio on to the frequency Brett used to keep him informed of what was going on.

"Alright," Phoenix said as she limped along.
~~~~~
"We aren't at liberty to say," the second SUV said as they led her through the lobby and to the private elevator that led up to the top floor and shoved her in and followed in after her.

Finally, they reached the entrance. Delfina was relieved to be back in the familiar part of the mountain.
~~~~~
"Gee, I was only asking an innocent question," Ebony rolled her eyes.
She yelped as they shove her into the elevator. "What the hell was that for!?" she growled angrily, "Is that the way all guests at this hotel are treated? I oughta take my spikes to the both of you, just for that!"

"I'd thought I'd never been so happy to see that sight again," Phoenix said as she limped into the entrance and collapsed near the stables.
~~~~~
The SUVs said nothing as one pulled out a card key that started the elevator its assent to the penthouse level.

Joshua, Lazaro and Liska came running as Delfina and Phoenix came into view. "We were scared to death for you two!"
Shadow, Enkidu and Rocket also surrounded them, whining anxiously.
Misty arrived just in time to see Ebony being hustled away by the SUV goons, and reported back to Brett and her friends.
"OK, just hang in there and keep watching the place." Brett said, "Don't go in too close."

"We're both okay," Delfina said quickly, raising her hands, showing the bandaged one, "I think we just need to rest right now. It's been a tiring adventure." To say nothing of my turning into a gargoyle. She made a mental note to thank Phoenix later for shielding her from Joshua and Lazaro.
~~~~~
Ebony just sighed and rolled her eyes. Typical. I'm inbetween Dumb and Dumber. Just what is this jerkoff thinking of hiring goons with an IQ no higher than 12?

"Just wanted to get the feel for the caves before I duck away in them," Phoenix said. "Nothing to crazy." ~~~~~ The elevator finally stopped at the top. As soon as the doors opened the SUVs shoved her out and the doors closed automatically behind her. The penthouse level was dimly lit, the massive bay window that looked over the strip lighting most of the floor. In front of the window was the black Ford silhouetted against it.

Ebony takes a surreptious look around the room and just scoffs. Like in a movie. If he says "Excellent"* in a creepy voice I'm pounding his hood in.
~~~~~
Delfina comes over and leans as close as she dares to Phoenix. "Thank you."
(((((OOC: I think that's an Austin Powers reference...)))))

Doc just stood still while Raine clung to him. His antenna came to rest across her shoulder.
<<< I'm not forgetting you, Raine. Doc doesn't emote easily for me >>>
Misty was careful to keep well clear of the hotel's penthouse level, especially the windows. She feigned interest in other landmarks up and down the strip to keep the goons of the airborne variety from getting suspicious. If they started to hassle her, she knew places where they couldn't go.
But she wasn't going away. Ebony was in trouble.

"Welcome," the black Ford said, his back still towards her. "I believe your trip up was quite enjoyable?"
~~~~~
"Your welcome," Phoenix said.

(((sorry. um... what does emote mean? *gah! I am ashamed! I should probably know this word, but I've never heard it before Oo; )))
Raine felt the contact and rested her damp cheek against his grill, her body shaking with her sobs.
