Chun Li also had a gun in her possession and she took it out aiming it at Vega. "Vega, turn around and leave or I pull the trigger." Chun Li would be able to shoot if Charlie is not willing to but she heard something that Reiko said and felt a bit sadden. "You have cancer?"

Focus fuckface, Reiko thought. Instead of actually passing comment she sighed, before using the claw of the tire iron to dig into her own skin. "There," she growled, throwing the blood splattered weapon at Vega, "Now fuck off. "If her blood gave the bastard aids tough shit.

Sakura was confident, she wasn't afraid of a burgular. "Don't worry. I beat on guys two times my size. I can protect Lucian!" Sakura smiles thinking of the good times she had street fighting. She spent so much time with this sport that her grades suffer.

The trespasser on Nancy's property was actually an assassin (Rolento) from Shadowlaw here on orders to terminate Nancy. Once the power was cut the assassin hid, waiting for Nancy to come out so he can finish the job with his sniper rifle.

"Just stay inside," Nancy repeated. She'd reassure them later. Just across from the kitchen was the garage, all she had to do was jump the fence that was between the house itself and the yard. She was about to hop over when she had a better idea. Upstairs she could reach the garage just as easily, or the laundry, and she'd have cover. Plus there was the trap door out the front. "Lucian, I want you to go to your room right now, okay?" Not waiting for her son to answer she addressed Sakura. "Take him up there then meet me in the hall." The celluar would still work, Nancy knew, once she made it outside she would phone the police.

"That's our boy." Judy Toran watched through her binoculars as Rolento went about his work. "Good work on using Shadowlaw to get him to play ball. "The CIA find out about this we're dead." Martin Lawrence was concerned about what their employers would think of the tactics they were using. "The CIA will let us do whatever we damn well please." Like Martin Judy was qualified for her criminal skills, and lack of ethics. The CIA had promised to make her a free woman in exchange for dealing with several of their problems. "Well let's make this quick." Martin brought the van around to pick up Rolento when he was finished.

Sakura nods and takes Lucian safely up to his word. She tries to comfort Lucian in case he was scared. "Don't worry, I'm also your bodyguard I won't let anyone hurt you!" Sakura checks the closet and under the bed making sure the room was safe.

Rolento who was in his camouflage suit and hidden inside a tree, took aim at Nancy. He looks at Nancy with his sniper rifle and as soon as he sees Nancy standing near the window he fired the gun. However the sun was shining too brightly, obscuring Rolento's vision and the bullet barely missed Nancy skimming pass her face and hitting the wall instead.

"Fuck." Nancy broke into a run up the stairs as her cell phone rang. "Phillip," she said answering, "now's not a good time, gonna have to call you back." She hung up on her brother and upon seeing Sakura tossed the phone to her. "Ring the police and tell them you heard shots from next door, do it now." Not waiting for an answer Nancy ran out onto the front deck. The sniper was around the back, whoever was out there wouldn't be able to target her before she reached the garage. Jumping from the deck Nancy grabbed a hold of the garage's roof, dropped down, before ducking through the rollerdoor and pulling it closed behind her. Whoever was after her would have to follow that way, she knew, and the laundry was in the back. The sniper's rifle wasn't powerful enough to penetrate the garage, by the time they came after her she'd be ready.

"What's that crazy asshole think he's doing?" Toran demanded. She saw what was happening from the satalite feed and knew the mission was scrubbed. Lawrence was already speeding the van to pick up Rolento. "Cover's blown," he radioed to Rolento, "get out of there." He could well understand Judy's concern, given half a chance Nancy would kill them all, possibly torture them first if she magaged to capture any of them alive. "Tell that son of a bitch to be out front in one minute," she hissed, "or he's on his own."
