Some Things Are Better Left Hidden
As Ajay laid awake in bed that night because she couldn’t wrap her mind around what Bloodhound had told all of them. She wouldn’t have put much thought into it but Natalie had said her piece. “She's right.” Her right shoulder and chest ached with the possibilities that plagued her brain. She got out her bottle of pills from her backpack that laid next to her on the bed. She took two pills out and put the bottle away. She took the pills and tried to push her thoughts away but it was no use.
She pulled her phone from her backpack and looked at the bright screen as it lit up room around her. Ajay wanted to call Octavio and tell him everything but she couldn’t risk anyone else finding out. She didn’t want to put him in some fucked up situation either. A sigh fell from her lips as she put her phone away and turned onto her side. She closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep but for her it was always hard to sleep; even without the extra added stress.
The ground was cold against her back and sent chills along her spine. She opened her eyes and heard voices around her but they sounded too far away. She tried to stand up but she could hardly move her body. The only thing she could manage to move was her left arm as she raised. Her chest felt like it was being crushed as she took a shallow breath. A rush of warmth spread along her chest and then her chest felt cold and wet.
She wondered where the hell the day had gone and why her lungs hurt when she tried to breathe. She coaxed her left hand across her chest and winced in pain as ran her fingertips trembled. She lifted her fingers from her chest and brought them into her view. She rubbed her crimson stained fingers together before dropping her hand to the ground. Of course it was blood but she couldn’t figure out why she was bleeding. Before another thought crossed her mind she heard gun fire above her head.
Ajay could only watch as Natalie fell to the ground beside her. Ajay tried to move but her body was paralyzed. Natalie shifted her body to her side so that she could face Ajay. Blood flew to ground and splattered after Natalie coughed it out from her mouth. Blood began to form around Natalie’s body and pool out towards Ajay. She wanted to scream for help but Ajay couldn’t speak; she couldn’t do anything but lay there and watch her friend bleed out.
Tears streamed down the side of Ajay’s face and onto the pavement as Natalie’s eyes stared lifelessly as her because life had escaped her small body. In her panicked state Ajay's breathing became erratic and then almost non-existent. She closed her eyes and silently choked on her own tears and blood until she stopped breathing completely.
“Breathe!” Ajay gasped for air through her labored breathing as she pried her eyes open. She reached for her chest as she quickly sat up. She pulled her hand from her chest and looked at her hand, “No blood.” She released a staggered sigh as she rubbed the scars along her chest and looked around the room. The sun was barely peeking through the window as she threw the blankets off of herself and got up out of the bed. “I thought I was done wit des fuckin nightmares.”
She rubbed some sweat from forehead before she got her clothing out. She pulled out black legs, black shorts, a black shoulder shirt, a hoodie, a bra, and panties. She laid everything out the bed and got into the shower to wash away her sweat and nightmares. When she got out of the shower she braided the hair on the right side of her head; from the top of her forehead, down behind her ear, all the way down to her neck. She put a small hair tie in it and let the rest hang free.
Ajay knew that sleeping was no longer an option so she got dressed and headed to Natalie's room. She also check on Natalie to make sure that her nightmare was just a nightmare. Growing up and living in a constant it nightmare sometimes made it hard to distinguish what was actually reality and what was actually a nightmare. As she walked down the short hallway to Natalie’s room her body trembled at the thought of Natalie being hurt or even worse.
Ajay raised her left hand up to knock on the door but she hesitated as she looked at her hand. Her hand shook in front of her as flashbacks of her bloody hand clouded her vision. She balled up her fist and squeezed her eyes closed as she waited for her brain to stopped projecting fragments of her nightmare into her reality. When she was sure that her brain was done she opened her eyes and used her balled fist to knock on Natalie’s door.
To Ajay’s surprise Natalie answered the door almost immediately, “Ready to go on an adventure Ajay?” MRVN was waving as he stood behind Natalie. Ajay stepped out of the way so that Natalie and MRVN could leave Natalie’s room. “I’ve got a few ideas Natalie. What’s MRVN doin wit yuh?” Natalie smiled, “He is my friend. He was scared to be by himself last night. I told him he could power down in my room.” Ajay nodded and wondered why a robot would be scared but she didn’t bother to question it; mostly because she didn’t care to discuss the answer.
“What adventure did you have in mind?” Natalie asked after they stepped outside of the building. Ajay looked around, “Do yuh know where they are goin ta have dis big meet and greet for da party Saturday evenin?” Natalie pointed to a building in the distance that was still within confines of Skyhook. “Okay. Well, can yuh take mi on a tour of dis entire place? Or some of it today and more tomorra?” Natalie jumped up and down in excitement and MRVN joined in by clapping. “Of course I can!”
Once they were out of the city, and Ajay was sure they were out of earshot of anyone, she pulled Natalie close to her. “Is der still guns on dis rock?” Natalie smiled, only inches from Ajay’s face, “Why but of course.” Ajay thought for a moment, “Do yuh have access ta dem without anyone findin out?” Natalie tapped her chin, “Oui. This way, follow me.” Ajay and MRVN followed Natalie to a place located near Sky Hook called Lava Fissure.
Lava Fissure was hot, but not as hot as Thermal Station. The area was lined with platforms and buildings. Some of the buildings were suspended over the lava and we accessible by platforms and ramps. The platforms had upper and lower walk ways with circular areas that surrounded some of the buildings. The area around Lava Fissure was grassy and had a few houses that had more than one story to navigate. Train tracks lined the outskirts of the area. Beyond the tracks were some hills and the edge of the area with a steep drop off.
Natalie led Ajay and MRVN underneath the building area into the depths of the Lava. Underneath the buildings there were small areas made up of volcanic rock that had formed into flat land. Some of volcanic rock housed weapon bins. The whole area beneath the buildings was very secluded, which put Ajay at ease.
Ajay stood behind Natalie as she reached behind one of the bins and popped it open. Natalie then proceeded to do this to the two other bins that were nearby. "There we go. Have a look!" Ajay glanced down into the bins to find an abundance of Prowlers, RE45s, R99s, Alternators, Wingmans, and two other weapons that Ajay had never seen before.
Ajay picked up one of the unfamiliar weapons and examined it. She turned it over in her hand and thought that it almost looked like an assault rifle but it was a little on the smaller side. She noticed that there were a few more of the same guns in the bin. “What’s dis one?” Natalie smiled as she pulled the same gun out of the bin and unloaded the magazine to show Ajay.
“It’s a volt submachine gun. It is IMC technology and it was left here. There are only a few of them left from the war. This particular weapon uses energy ammunition.” Natalie popped the magazine back in and set the gun down. The volt felt good in Ajay’s hands as she looked down the sight before setting the volt back into the bin. Ajay pointed to the other unfamiliar weapon in the bin; it was massive compared to the volt, "What's dat one?"
Natalie looked to where Ajay was pointing and continued to smile, “That’s a charge rifle. It’s a sniper rifle. It does some serious damage but it can take few seconds to fire after pulling the trigger.” Ajay nodded as she thought before speaking, “Tomorra night I need yuh guys ta hide des weapons around da city near da meet and greet. We can’t let anyone know or see da weapons. Do yuh think yuh can do dat Natalie?” Ajay didn’t mean to sound so serious and direct but it was a serious matter if there were potentially prowlers involved.
MRVN clapped, “Count me in friend.” Natalie smiled and clapped as well, “Of course!” Ajay closed the bin and leaned against it for a moment. Natalie gave Ajay a look of concern, “What's wrong?” Ajay looked at Natalie, “I’m just worried dat somethin is gonna happen Saturday evenin. Do our abilities work on dis part of da planet yet?” Ajay sighed and wished that she had better abilities to help out.
Natalie shook her head, “I know that all of Elliot's abilities still work, and I think that MRVN’s abilities work as well. It's hard to tell. I don’t have control over these things.” Natalie looked down at her hands, twiddling her thumbs. Ajay smiled at Natalie’s cute quirks; even if Natalie was nervous, “It's okay. Yuh have done more than enough.” Natalie smiled, “Shall we see the rest of this place?” Ajay nodded and followed her with MRVN right behind them.
Natalie took the three of them through Sorting Factory; which was a huge building named for what it was used for, sorting. There were large boxes on a conveyor belt in one building of Sorting Factory. There was a large building that was used for a train station so that the train could make stops in the Sorting Factory area. The rest of the area was littered with other buildings, platforms, huge crates, and a crane. Most of the rooftops in the area were low; easy to get over.
The sun was starting to set and Ajay didn’t bother to ask Natalie if she knew how to get back to Skyhook. Instead Ajay said, “Hey Natalie, we should get goin. I need ta get up early and have a look around Skyhook in the mornin.” Natalie nodded and skipped along as she took Ajay and MRVN through the other side of Sorting Factory and down between a small area with water and buildings located just on the other side of Fuel Depot.
The trio ended up on the east side of Capital City. Natalie pointed out to Epicenter in the distance. Barely beyond Epicenter was a factory that was called Refinery. Ajay could pretty much figure out where they were. The map was quite big and nightfall had graced them with its presence. The stars still looked magnificent just as they did the last time she was here. “What’s the plan Ajay?” Natalie sounded a bit concerned. Ajay felt Natalie’s concern, “We’ll, hide da guns at da party. If tings get rowdy then we pull da guns out and fight. If we have ta run then we run.”
She really didn’t have a better solution or explanation to give Natalie. They had to go to this event but Ajay didn’t want to go empty handed just in case prowlers showed up again. As she stared up at the beautiful stars she wished that Octavio was here to see the stars and to help her out with a plan. “I trust you Ajay.” Natalie said as she placed a hand onto Ajay’s shoulder. Ajay forced a smile as Natalie dropped her hand and they began walking again.
It took the better part of the night to get back to Skyhook. MRVN was still scared and wanted to stay with Natalie for the night once again; Natalie gladly accepted the robot’s company. Ajay thought that Natalie and MRVN seemed like they were best friend. Ajay slowly retreated to her room with only a few hours left until day light. When she got into her room she closed the door behind her and leaned against it. She closed her eyes and sighed as she thought about everything she needed to get done in just a few short hours.
She was in no hurry to get to sleep. She really didn’t even know that she could sleep even if she tried. She was afraid that she would have nightmares again; she couldn’t bear to see Natalie lifeless again. Ajay laid in bed and checked her phone. There was still no word from Octavio; she wondered when Octavio would arrive or if would arrive at all.
Ajay was almost jealous that Octavio might get to miss this black tie event. She wished that she didn’t have to go to this stupid event. He must have had one hell of a job to get done if he got to miss an event like this. Usually anything that involved benefactors was a pretty deal. The people that sponsored the event and paid for the party would definitely want to see who they are paying for.
She watched the night change into day as she gazed out the window from her bed. Ajay finally forced her tired body to get out of the bed. She got herself changed into some similar clothing as the previous day; she wasn’t trying to impress anyone. The only person she cared to try and impress wasn’t even there. She fixed the braid in her hair to at least make it look like she did something with herself besides not sleep.
As she opened up the door and was surprised by the sight of Natalie and MRVN who were waiting for her on the other side. Natalie smiled, “Perfect timing Ajay. I was just about to knock. Are you ready?” Ajay smiled back and set off with Natalie and MRVN to mark spots for them to hide guns later that night.
She didn’t know if she wanted to inform any of the other Legends of their plans because of the risk of them getting caught. It was hard not to get the others involved because they were like family to her. But because they were like family to her, she didn't want anything to happen to them by getting them involved. However, she did know that she wanted to talk with Bloodhound about everything before the event got started.
Ajay sent MRVN to get Bloodhound from their room or wherever they might be. She figured if she sent MRVN it would be the least obvious way to draw attention. To her surprise, Bloodhound quickly met her outside of the building where all of the Legends were staying. She didn’t exactly know how to tell them about her plan without being overheard. She thought about it for a moment and then figured out a way to tell them without saying anything out loud.
Ajay began to walk towards the designated weapon locations and motioned for Bloodhound to follow her. As Bloodhound followed her, Ajay pointed to specific places that the group had marked to hide guns later that night. MRVN turned to Bloodhound and tapped on his screen. MRVN flashed a play gun with a flag that came out of it. Written on the flag was the word Bang! Ajay assumed that Bloodhound understood when they nodded and left; at least she hoped that they did.
