Smuggling

[Madotsuki]

The two rushed to refill the suitcases, rationing out the packets as they determined the original amount. The locks had been partially broken during the fight, but Madotsuki figured that they could hold until they reached their destination as long as they didn't suffer through any more damage. Once everything had been set up, the dreamer rounded behind Sabitsuki and grabbed her by the shoulder.

"H-hey!" the gang leader shouted. It took her a moment to realize that she was invisible, pipe, suitcase and all. "Huh. No wonder you got away the first time." The camouflaged duo ran along the road, no longer having to worry about being caught on camera. If the guy was sending another drone, they needed to get away to a safe distance. They continued for a while until the Night Terror caught a glimpse of another machine floating through the sky-- definitely another drone. Ducking into another alleyway, they watched it pass by and disappear around the corner.

'This should be safe enough,' Madotsuki announced, allowing the both of them to turn visible again.

"How do you do that?" Sabitsuki asked, poking her arm as if she thought that it would vanish again.

'I... don't really know.' She shrugged. 'I just think of it and it happens. I don't understand how you happens. Anyway... how did Errol get kidnapped in the first place?'

"Eh, it actually happened last night." The albino turned her head to rub at a bruise on her neck that Madotsuki didn't notice at first. "I'm still not sure what happened exactly, but a group of masked men in black broke into my base."

'You mean Rust's base of operations?'

"Yeah. The others were out doing things."

'Such as...?'

"You don't need to know. But I will tell you that me and Errol had to hang back and give advice. I would've been able to handle those guys, but it was 4 in the morning and I was running off of coffee at that point, so..."

'Handle them?' Madotsuki asked with a smirk on her face. 'Like you did with me?'

The albino growled, winding up for a punch. In the end, she thought better of it and lowered her fist. "You're not like most people. Now, where was I? Oh, so they knocked me out and took Errol. I spent almost all of today looking for him. I was about to call it a night when the guy sent me a message. You probably know the rest."

'Why would they pick you though?'

Sabitsuki scoffed. "Why not?"

'Have you even delivered stuff before this?'

"Nope. Are you saying you have?"

'Yes I am.'

An awkward moment passed. "So how did Madeline get kidnapped."

Madotsuki frowned. She suddenly realized that she and the Night Terror hadn't been in contact for several days. She had thought that she was just busy, but with this information... had Madeline been kidnapped much earlier than she thought originally? '...I wasn't there.'

"But why go to all the trouble? Why did they send both of us? If one of us was a backup, then why pit us against each other?"

'Maybe they didn't want us to deliver it? This stuff must be worth a lot of money. Imagine if it got... "lost in transit," and suddenly disappeared?'

"That... could work." The albino heaved a large sigh. "But what now?"

Madotsuki's MDD began buzzing and she flicked it open. An evil grin began to form on her face as she read it. Shutting it, she turned to the gang leader with an almost maniacal look in her eyes. 'I just got some info. You feel like crashing this kidnapper's party?'
