Chapter 16:

Focus on this!

Secrets of Loenhess


//The gang arrives just down the street from the suspected safe house of the duo. They have switched vehicles to an old Military surveillance van. Mika has made some major modifications to the van, which includes his computer setup and some other surprises. The gang plots their strategy for capturing the duo.

Aiya: Okay, Mika was able to retrieve a blueprint of the house. There is only one front door and a back door. Mika, can you still access the Military’s spy satellites?

Mika: Already on it! I’ll tap into one with an infrared heat monitor to see if we can locate anyone in the house. It’ll just take a minute or so…

Mika: okay… just about there… yes! got it. There appears to be two heat signatures, both gathered in the central living room area of the home.

Aiya: Great! Okay we are going with the assumption that this is the correct house, so here’s the plan.

Aiya continues: Mika will set up the spectral projector. He will project images of Military Police members surrounding the front of the home. On my signal Mika will announce over the van’s PA system That this is the Military Police, and we have been authorized to use lethal force to enter the home and will begin open firing on the home in 60 seconds unless they surrender immediately. Hopefully, the images in the front will be enough of a deterrent to convince them they must try to escape from the back of the home. That is where you and I (points to Hana) will be waiting on the roof above the rear entrance waiting to drop the taser net on the duo.

Aiya smiles: Piece of cake!

Hana replies: You know I hate cake… and pie… and ice cream… really anything sweet.

Aiya: Why am I not surprised…. Will you just focus on the mission!

Hana: Focus, right! I do like bitter chocolate though.

Aiya sighs: Ugh! Let’s just go!

//The two girls sneak around to the back of the house and take their position on top of the roof.

//Aiya nods to Hana, and she nods back that she is ready.

//Aiya then sends the signal to Mika, and the operation begins.

//From the back the girls hear the announcement over the PA, followed shortly thereafter by the sound of machine gun fire.

//The girls eagerly await the arrival of the duo out the back, when suddenly the back door flings open.

Aiya whispers: get ready!

//they wait, but no one appears.

//Aiya peers over the end of the roof when just then the girls hear a voice from behind.

Sister: Are you really that deaf?

//the girls are startled but instantly pop up and turn around in fighting stance.

Aiya: this wasn’t the plan.

Sister: Did you really think it would be that easy. We heard your entire plan from the beginning.

Aiya: What? How?

Sister: Who do you think you are dealing with. We have a state-of-the-art security system with motion detectors and super sensitive microphones set up all around the home. Bet you Mika’s blueprints or satellite didn’t pick that up. By the way, my brother has Mika by now.

Sister continues: Tsk, what a bunch of amateurs, no wonder you were defeated so easily on your last mission.

//Aiya clinches her fist and is approaching a state of uncontrolled anger.

//Hana sees Aiya getting out of control and tries to calm her down.

Hana: You need to calm down and stay focused sis, and let’s get this female pup.

Sister laughs: Aw, is poor little Aiya getting upset. How many died in your unit? And then there is poor ole Dad…

//Aiya unable to control her pent-up rage suddenly attacks the sister.

Hana: Or keep up with the rage and just attack, that works for me too!

//They both enter into battle with the sister.

//Aiya throws three very quick punches at the sister which she easily evades. Hana follows with a flying kick and the sister swats her away and sends her landing abruptly on the roof. The battle intensifies atop the roof with the girls landing very few blows and for the most part are beaten down handily by the sister.

//the girls are exhausted and bloodied at this point. Aiya and Hana are kneeling next to each other and breathing very heavily.

Aiya: She’s too quick for us, we’re getting torn to pieces.

//Hana remembering some wisdom passed down by Master Shin.

Hana says to Aiya: Master Shin once told me this is the precise moment when your opponent is at their weakest. They believe they have won, and the battle is over, they become overconfident, loosen up, and let their guard down. We must hit here with everything we have left now, and don’t stop until she is truly defeated.

Sister: Oh, and Hana if you are playing the overconfident card, remember we had the same teacher, it won’t work.

Aiya: Great, were doomed!

//just then Mika comes running up to the back of the house.

Mika: Hey, did you girls get the sister?

//the sister is totally stunned to hear Mika’s voice and turns around in shock

Sister: Huh? What the…

//Aiya seizes the moment and drop kicks the sister off the roof. She lands hard on the ground flat on her face. The sister is dazed.

Aiya: Mika, quick use you taser to stun her!

//Mika fumbles to quickly get his high voltage taser from his pocket. It lands next to the sister and although still dazed she is able to knock it away from Mika.

//Just then Hana jumps down from the roof and with her stick hits the already dazed sister on the head to knock her out.

Hana: Mika hurry, throw me the taser, she might wake back up.

//Mika panickily tosses the taser to Hana

Hana: take that you female dog! (as she stuns the sister with the taser).

Hana: and that! (tazzes her again)

Hana: and that! (and again)

//she is about to do it again when Aiya jumps down and stops her.

Aiya: I think we’re good here sister.

//Aiya looks down at the sister.

Aiya: Beside if you keep it up you eventually may shock here back awake. Just help me carry her back to the van.

//as they walk back to the van, they question Mika on what happened with the brother.

Aiya: So are you going to tell us what happened with the brother.

Mika: Oh yes, when you left the van, I activated the van’s anti-theft devices. So, when he tried to enter the van, he was meet with 1,000 volts of electricity. It sent him backwards about 20 yards. I had to drag him all the way back to the van, and chain him up myself. I was exhausted after that and had to rest a minute. After a couple of minutes, I began to worry about you two, so I went to see what was happening.

Aiya and Hana together: You were exhausted, really Mika!

//Aiya and Hana stop and look at each other, then drop the sister.

Aiya wiping blood from around her mouth: Since you are so well rested you can bring her the rest of the way back to the van.

//the girls walk off.

Mika: wait, what? But what if she wakes up again.

Aiya: taze her!

Mika: But Hana has the taser.

//Mika looks down at the sister.

Mika (to himself): she is actually bigger than the brother, he is so light.

Mika: Ok, you’re just kidding right? You’re going to help right?

Aiya and Hana (loudly): NO!

Mika: Ah, why do I also get the lousy jobs!

//Mika starts to drag the sister by one arm to the van.

Mika: please don’t wake up, please don’t wake up.

Aiya: By the way did you check to see if the brother was still even alive.

Mika (to himself): Oh, didn’t think about that.

Aiya (laughs): Mika, we don’t need you in jail for murder now!

Mika: But it was self-defense. (To himself) I didn’t do anything wrong? (mutters as he strains to drag the sister) He attacked me.

//With the brother and sister apprehended the gang drive the van to an abandon warehouse near their office to begin questioning the duo.
