Harlan was stunned when he had learnt that some of Ai’s cars were not insured. He made sure that both his cars were insured, just in case something happened to them. If one of her cars got wrecked, she would have a hard time to trying to get a new car, let alone at risk from being caught by the police. It was the last thing that he wanted, so he insures them under then name of Stanley McKinney. Then again, she does have the money to pay for new cars or repairs if they were broken, he concluded, watching her drive down the street. "All right," she replied, turning the car invisible from their followers.

“I haven’t planned that far ahead, but we need to hide while we try and figure out who these people are,” Harlan replied, looking back at the black sedan. Soon, the side mirror disappeared, forcing him to look back through the rear window. As Ai pressed another button, they pulled into an abandoned alleyway, with the nose of the car sticking out of it. He looked through the invisible shield of the car, watching the sedan coming closer and closer towards them. “If the worst comes to shove, we’ll need to take out the car. By any means necessary.” He wasn’t sure on how she would feel on what he had said, as she has a feeling for all the cars she has.

As the car came closer to where they were, Harlan managed to take a look at who was in the seats of the sedan. To his surprise, there was a man and woman sitting on the front seats of the car. The man seems to look very short, his mouth just reaching the top of the steering wheel. The man’s deep, blue eyes looked all over the place, as if he was looking for someone. His long, brown hair trailed off behind the man’s slim shoulders. A scar ran across his left cheek, left unstitched from when he had received the wound. The woman next to him was rather attractive, though not as attractive as Ai, Harlan thought. Her tied, red hair was left flowing over her right shoulder. Unlike the man next to her, who was wearing just a simple, yet stylish, t-shirt, she was wearing a rather nice looking top, nearly matching the one that Ai was wearing. Her green eyes, like the man next to her, were looking all over the street, looking for someone.

As soon as Harlan saw who it was, he sighed. “False alarm,” he concluded to Ai’s ears. “It’s just Diana and Mike who were following us. As the license plate of the sedan came into view, it had confirmed his suspicions, with the numbers ‘GAMD’, where GA stood for their group, the Gore Angels.

“If the worst comes to shove, we’ll need to take out the car. By any means necessary.”

"Hmm... right," she murmured, gripping the wheel a bit tighter with one hand. She didn't like the idea of her car being cornered, nor the idea of the fact that they might have to do some close combat on car chases or whatever. Then again, when the sedan came into view, she could just fire the missiles at the car...

When she saw who were the people in the sedan, her grip on the wheel relaxed although, not too much. She didn't like Diana very much only because Diana hated her. Although why, she couldn't figure out. Mike had told her it was probably because Ai was prettier than Diana although Ai begged to digress. Ai thought that Diana was just being stupid, for hating her only because Diana thought that Ai was more attractive. Then again, she was always often time showy about herself and her curves while Diana tried to but couldn't as she didn't have enough curves. Well, that was what she heard anyway of the gossip at the Gore Angels headquarters.

He sighed. “False alarm,” he concluded to Ai’s ears. “It’s just Diana and Mike who were following us.

"So we shall meet up with them then? We're going to be late meeting up with Damien if we do," she said as she flinched. She didn't like to think about the consequences of being late when the boss called you for it. "Although, I'm curious as to why they wanted to come and meet up with us when they could have called on the phone and told us they wanted to."

Harlan watched as Ai’s expression changed when she realized on who it was. He knew the conflict that she and Diana had at the headquarters. Although, he couldn’t say much about the relationship between him and Mike wasn’t that good. Both of them were more competitive in everything that they do when it comes to the same target. During one of these ‘competitions’, Mike had misfired his shot and ran, leaving him to fend off several dozens of security guards and Globodex hitmen by himself. God knows how many wounds that Ai had to tend to after the stupid mistake. If he remembered correctly, the reason why Diana hated Ai was because Mike told her that Ai was more attractive than she was. In his mind, Harlan knew that it was true. Nothing could compete to Ai inside the Gore Angels’s HQ. Slowly, he returned to reality as Ai spoke to him.

"So we shall meet up with them then? We're going to be late meeting up with Damien if we do. Although, I'm curious as to why they wanted to come and meet up with us when they could have called on the phone and told us they wanted to."

“I’m wondering the same thing as well. However, we can tell Damien that Diana and Mike were distracting us from getting there. Speaking of which…” Harlan paused for a minute, thinking on something that would scare the living daylights out of their two ‘friendly’ rivals. “Ai… Is this car still invisible? If so, drive the car up between those two parked cars…” He pointed at the two cars that were parked in front of the hidden FT-HS. “When they drive past, scare the living shit out of them with the horn. They’ll never know what hit them, the rookies.” Even though the last comment was harsh, it was true. Diana and Mike were paired up only 2 months ago, with the tensions building up between them. Slowly, a grin crept across Harlan’s face. Let’s give them the surprise that they’ll never forget.

“Ai… Is this car still invisible? If so, drive the car up between those two parked cars…” He pointed at the two cars that were parked in front of the hidden FT-HS. “When they drive past, scare the living shit out of them with the horn. They’ll never know what hit them, the rookies.”

Ai nodded, as she pulled the car out of park and into neutral as she released the brakes, easing the car to drive into where Harlan had pointed to. A grin crept its way across her face as she realized that they'll probably be scared shitless when they realized that it was just Harlan and herself. Although, that might pull up the fact that they might draw their guns, but it would be pointless anyway. Her car is like tank and has bullet-proof anything. Highest grade too to make sure that hand-held guns like what Diana and Mike prefers, are probably going to be pointless.

"I'm going to love their reactions," she said as they waited. "I'm just surprised at all that they passed the test to get in." It was difficult, to get in through the tests. Since Harlan and herself were seasoned hitmen, they had already passed the test with flying colors but with Diana and Mike, Ai had heard that they both had a relatively hard time to getting through it. Then again, Ai wasn't one of the people giving the assignments, she had been the one doing an assignment from a rather wealthy group to take out someone.

She flipped out her phone and called Damien, who allowed them to be a bit late because they were meeting up with Diana and Mike. Although, he had said rather briskly for them to "hurry it up." Right... If Mike and Diana have something important to say, half of the time it wasn't or it was something that Harlan and herself have already heard about. Then again, they had to listen because it might important information on Globodex.

When their car pulled up right near them, Ai immediately pressed the horn and she drank in their reactions, bursting out laughing as they jumped and hit the roof of the car. She was barely able to press the button to rematerialize themselves again. Their reactions were so priceless, that Ai couldn't help but keep laughing and hold her stomach because it was just that awesome to see their expressions. By the time Ai had been able to stop laughing, she had been tearing up, finally able to breathe.

"Oh... man, I hadn't had a laugh like that in so long," Ai said to Harlan, resting her arms on the wheel as she looked over towards him. She wiped the remaining tears away, curious to see how he was able to bare the hilarious prank. Then again, Ai knew that they deserved it. Diana and Mike were rather disrespectful towards them, even though they were far more seasoned to kill them. However, Damien would murder them in cold blood if they took out some of their own men. Cause the partners themselves already do that amongst themselves... self-destructing groups... leading to ruined assignments and that leads to them being killed. And quite a few times a lot of them happen and their numbers are dwindling quickly. Not... very pretty.

Harlan noticed the smile that crept across her face, knowing what he was planning to do and the consequences of what the plan was. Although there’s a chance that Diana and Mike would draw their weapons and fire on them, there was little chance that they were going to even draw them due to inexperience. Ai pulled the car into neutral, slowly bringing the car towards the gap that he pointed out a second ago. Finally, when the car was in its appropriate place, she turned towards him and spoke to him. "I'm going to love their reactions. I'm just surprised at all that they passed the test to get in." Harlan made a mouth gesture with the word ‘ah’, remembering the test that she was talking about. Unfortunately for him, who had passed the test with flying colours, he had to be the mafia boss of the test, controlling all of his ‘men’ to prevent Diana and Mike from getting to him. Somehow, they’ve managed to beat him to the ground with difficulty, though he was going easy on them. As the car pulled in front of them, Ai pressed the horn.

----------------------

Mike and Diana started to drive down the street, looking out for Harlan and Ai. Mike, who was a small, skinny man, turned towards his assigned partner. “Damnit! I can’t find them! They must have known that someone was following them.”

“It was blatantly obvious that they saw us following them,” Diana retorted, not too happy with him at the moment. All she wanted was a nice evening, after killing her target earlier in the day. Did she? No. Mike called her to try and scare the two seasoned hitmen by their apartment. She doubted that they were going to be scared due to experience, but there was no need for her to get out of her own condo and wait outside the area of the apartments for 3 hours, waiting for the right moment to scare them. Out of all the times that Mike had to pick to follow them, he had to pick them when Harlan and Ai were in the sports car. “You had to choose your crappy sedan to follow them, not an everyday car like the Prius.”

“Hey! Don’t start on me! You had agreed to come along, when you didn’t want to. After all… We’re supposed to be par…” Before Mike could even finish his sentence, a horn came out of nowhere, sounding right next to the car. Both of their reactions were similar at the beginning and end, but very different in between. For Diana, who was sitting on the far side of the invisible car, she literally jumped out of her seat and hit her head against the roof of the car. As she lowered her head to place a hand against the injured area, her head came crashing down on the dashboard, leaving a nasty bump on her forehead. On Mike’s part, he jumped and hit his head on the ceiling as well. However, instead of tilting his head forward, he tilted it back. His head smacked against the hard, plastic headrest, causing more pain to come from the back of his head. He then tilted his head forward, smacking it against the steering wheel, leaving an imprint of the wheel on his forhead.

------------------------

As he watched the reactions from the inexperience hitmen, Harlan burst out laughing. Both he and Ai were in hysterics, unable to turn the invisibility. Finally, once the laughter of the joke died, both of them were in tears from laughter. "Oh... man, I hadn't had a laugh like that in so long." Harlan tried to answer, but he chuckled instead, nodding at the fact that neither of them hadn’t laughed like that for a very long time. Once everything was calm, he managed to speak out.

“I guess it’s time to turn the invisibility off.”

“I guess it’s time to turn the invisibility off.”

"I already did," Ai said, the remaining of the laughter disappearing as she looked out through the windshield. She pulled out her gun, cocking it ready to fire before she opened the door and stepped out to point the gun at them. By then, all of her remaining laughter had disappeared, replaced by her serious expression of one that would consider her a hitman. She didn't like the idea of whatever they were deciding to do, to pull a stunt like this against them, who were far more experienced than they will ever be.

Luckily, they knew nothing about them, but knew only their first names and their years of experience. Mike and Diana have a lot to learn before they can try to scare them.

"Step out of the car and drop your weapons to the ground," Ai said coolly. She didn't want to mention that her car had a missile launcher pointed straight at their car. She shot the gun millimeters from the windshield, in case they didn't hear her. With a silencer, it wasn't as loud as it was supposed to be, but then, she had only shot a blank, not that they would know. She wasn't going to risk leaving around evidence from her gun anywhere and if Diana and Mike did not learn that soon, then they will be captured fasted than that of meat being spoiled for not being frozen.

Once Harlan realised that the car was invisible, shortly before Ai had mentioned that the car wasn’t invisible anymore. Just like her, he too drew his pistol out from his coat pocket. However, she had blank rounds in the chamber of the gun. His Ruger was filled with live ammo, so he had to be really careful. Just like she did, he opened the door and pointed the gun towards the inexperienced hitmen. With nothing happening for the first few seconds, Ai shouted out to them. "Step out of the car and drop your weapons to the ground." Soon, a shot was heard, though the silencer restricted the sound coming from it. Just like she intended to do, she made the shot ‘miss’ the windshield of the car.

“Ai had given you an instruction. Now… Get out of the car… and drop your weapons…” A few seconds later, he cocked the gun, aiming straight inside the car. “I will not ask again. Ai might have fired a warning shot, but I won’t. Get out of the car NOW!” The final word that he had said shown that he had meant business. Even though Damien would kill him for taking out a couple of his group, it was alright for him to take out members who posed a threat to them. The veteran hitman walked closer to the car, the gun pointed towards Mike’s head.

A few seconds later, Mike and Diana were out of the car, hands held behind their back. “Please… don’t kill us!” Mike moaned, the tears of regret streaming down his face. “I only wanted to scare you shitless once.” Without another word, Harlan drove his fist across his head, forcing the inexperienced hitman to the ground.

“I don’t give a fuck if you were trying to scare us,” Harlan roared, tired of the feeble excuse. “If I hadn’t figured out that you were who you really were, we would have killed you. And god knows how many ways Ai and I can kill you. And what’s worse for you guys? Damien would excuse us for the killings, since we act on survival and not on childish pranks.” Soon, he picked up Mike again, standing the weakened man. “Do you get that?” Mike nodded in agreement. “Good… now this is to warn you not to do it again.” Harlan simply punched Mike in the stomach, then kneed him in the falling head. He turned towards Ai. “Come on… Let’s go and talk to Damien.”

Ai watched the proceedings from after she shot her gun. She watched Harlan make Mike and Diana come out of the car.

“Please… don’t kill us!” Mike moaned, the tears of regret streaming down his face. “I only wanted to scare you shitless once."

"And you were a part of this, Diana," Ai said in a rather cold voice. Ai pointed the gun at the other female who was already shooting glares in her direction. "You should know better; you had scored better results on your entrance test than Mike did." Diana's fingers seem to itch to do something but in the end, only clenched themselves into a fist. "Then again, those things are often sometimes wrong..."

"Those were right, all right, I got the lowest scores of the whole group!" she hissed, glaring at Ai with the utmost hatred. "I hated how everyone kept saying that you were the highest to be graded and ranked!"

Ai only shrugged before clicking the gun, this time, without the blanks and with real bullets. Although, she wasn't careless as to leave them behind as evidence. "To be called and ranked as that high, is only luck and the will to survive. If you don't have either, you are as good as dead. I may be nice in comparison to Harlan when it's about warnings and such, but, I'm probably more lethal in regards of quick kills and clean ups." The look in Ai's eyes at that moment sent shivers down Diana's spine.

"W-Well, you guys just got lucky to be partnered up during the test," Diana managed to say. Ai's blood turned cold. It was true, if it weren't for the fact that Ai and Harlan had been partnered up, Ai might have already moved onto a different partner by now to the high numbers of the triple digits. For a moment, she wondered what would have happened if that did occur, then, she wouldn't be feeling the strange tingly sensations she gets when she touches Harlan. In that moment, she realized that something deep inside her was telling her that... that she might actually be in love with Harlan, even though she had come to that conclusion earlier this evening... although she was denying it, still.

"That may be true, but at the time of the pairing, we knew nothing about each others abilities or the limits of them," Ai said icily. "If it weren't for the fact that we were able to communicate enough to find out what they were capable enough, then we would have failed. Unlike you, we didn't have only the Mafia boss, we had the Mafia bosses, traps, and more than you can count of people coming after us to kill us."

Diana paled at the idea of more difficult problems to face in the test as what Ai had just described was probably far more harder than what Diana would ever be able to do... well, unless she trained as well as how Ai did. "Don't do it again, Diana," Ai said before withdrawing the gun and pulling herself into the driver's seat.

“Come on… Let’s go and talk to Damien.”

"Yes, Harlan," Ai said as she shut the door next to her before pulling the car out of the parking space and headed the car in the direction that they were going to meet Damien.

She drove the car quickly onto the main road before heading off to the road that usually led to the meeting place. When they arrived, Ai got out of the car and waited until Harlan got out before locking the doors and the car changing shape back into the car that was the Celica.

Ai headed through the door first until they arrived onto the floor which Damien was meeting them.

"Damien," Ai said with a slight bow of her head before looking up and a quick glance at Harlan.

Harlan watched as Diana and Ai argued between each other. With him and the other men of the Gore Angels, it was easy to say that he was the best out of all of the, with Damien only topping him by a few seconds of the same test. Some people within the group wondered what would happen when his and Ai faced off against each other, since both of them were the best of the hitmen for each gender. Whatever the result was, it was going to be messy. And the survivor will most likely be having another partner to work with. Luckily, with the 5 years of being partners, that possible stand off weren’t going to happen. It would take a massive amount of strain to cause something like that to happen.

Finally, when the stand off between the two women was over, Ai turned towards him. "Yes, Harlan." Soon, both of them were in the FT-HS, leaving the black sedan and the broken partners behind them. Soon, they arrived at the Gore Angels’ HQ; the abandoned building looking like it wasn’t used at all. But then again, it was a great place to keep a massive organisation like the GA hidden from the massive grip of Globodex. As soon as both of them got out of the car, the sports car turned back to its Celica form. As they both entered the office that Damien had, Ai spoke to their boss. "Damien."

The man that was their boss turned around. Being in his mid-forties, no one would have thought that he was able to keep up to the speed that Harlan was going. Despite that, he was still able to keep up, beating Harlan in some of the things that the two would have to go through. However, when it came to a sparring session, Harlan had the height and strength to push the agile leader to his limits. Damien, unfortunately, did not age as well as some would hope. Most of the hairs that he had been a light grey, with the odd patches of blonde being seen. Wrinkles lined his face that his former youth could not be seen at all. However, the piercing grey eyes that the man had been something that kept the youth look with him. His build was something similar to Harlan’s, though it wasn’t as buff than the younger hitman. His suit was something very smart, ready to portray a business man at any time. “Greetings you two. I hope Mike and Diana hadn’t caused you grief.” The comment that was made was directed mostly towards Harlan, since he knew what had happened on one of the missions that he had set. The discipline that he had given Mike was something that remained with the man ever since.

“There has been no trouble. However, we’ve taught them a lesson not to follow us like that ever again,” Harlan replied.

Damien walked around the mahogany desk that was inside the room. “Ok. That’ll leave me to discipline both of them as well. Especially after the mission that you pulled off at the Globodex soirée.” Soon, he was standing in front of both Harlan and Ai. “To my point… Would you like to have a crack at killing Dr Harkess himself?”

Ai felt stunned. This was the first time that Damien had suggested such a thing. Then again, the whole purpose of their "organization" was to bring him down. Ai hadn't really thought about the reasons and such as to why they were going to bring down Globodex. Was it because they were monopolizing everything?

"But, Dr. Harkess is in Hong Kong right now," Ai stated, seeming to be slightly confused. "And I heard that he's later going to the Taipei's 101 Tower for another brief meeting before he comes back here."

Ai wondered mildly as to what the leader of Globodex could be doing in those meetings. To make Globodex stronger? She doesn't know much as she thought she did... She was going to have to research some more about Globodex and her own company that she works for. She didn't like the feeling of being left in the dark.
