43 Surprise

"Hah?" He said in response, looking down at his phone.

"Are we almost there yet?" Norio frowned.

"Do you want Emersyn back or not?" Keren shot him a look.

"Don't be silly!" She cried.

"s.h.!.+" Rick put a finger to his mouth.

"We coulda driven, but then they'd definitely see us comin'." Chris said, sighing.

"Boss," Mim said, walking into the room. "Hm?" Larkin turned around. "One of our spies claimed to have sent out threats." Larkin nodded.

"This just got very interesting." Larkin said as he grinned.

"Hold on!" Tammy cried out. Everyone looked at her.

"My phone lost it's signal..." she whispered.

"What do you expect, we're in the middle of a forest." Norio sighed.

"Looks like we're," Before he could finish, Chris suddenly pointed.

"Behind those trees..." he whispered.

"Is that it...?" Sena questioned.

"Rick..." Maru whispered.

"Don't worry, I've got ya." Rick rea.s.sured her. "Just keep that blindfold on no matter what, 'kay?" Maru nodded.

"So they've made it..." a cloaked figure said, watching from a balcony. The cloaked figure smiled, as it walked away.

Rick peaked his head from behind a bush.

"There's two guards..." he whispered. He quickly scanned the group.

"Someone watch Maru," he paused.

"Norio, come with me." Norio quickly looked up.

"Relax, I know you don't wanna kill 'em."

He said, then smirked.

"Just make a cool entrance with me is all." Norio slowly rose up.

"Be careful..." Abbey whispered.

Everyone held their breath as the two of them snuck around behind plants, and trees, getting closer to the entrance.

"Do you hear something...?" One of the guards asked.

"Must be the wind..." Suddenly, a sword came flying at one of the guards chests, impaling him.

"Who goes there!?" The other guard cried out.

"Sorry, sorry." Rick said from behind a tree. "The wind was so strong, my sword slipped into your buddy there." The guard's eyes widened.

"Show yourself!" He shrieked.

Suddenly a quick punch came at him, knocking him unconscious.

Norio sighed, as he blew on his knuckle. Rick, grabbing the sword grinned. The two stood back to back.

"How's that for an entrance?" Norio said, smirking.
