Back to go again

[Ashley Parker]

Ash stared at the roof of the car in annoyance, even if he couldn't see it. He'd pulled over after leaving Freddie to try and report back to Jennifer - his mission controller - when he'd found a gun pressed to the side of his head.
Luke had followed him from the school in a blue car, and now Ash was lay in the back of the black car he'd switched with someone, hands tied behind his back and a blind fold over his eyes. It was always the same - Luke would pick him up somewhere out of sight of any cameras, switch cars with another agent to throw off anyone watching the cameras, and free him when they got to Luke's apartment since by that time, it would be too late to try and run.

[Luke Parker]

Pulling up outside his apartment, Luke got out the car and opened the back passenger door. Leaning in, he untied his little brother and pulled his blindfold off, before grabbing his arm and pulling his out of the car.
"Come on, bitch," he grinned, knowing they were out of sight of any cameras here - he'd made sure of that when he'd moved into the area.

[Ashley Parker]

Ash frowned but started walking. He knew the way to Luke's apartment from where they were, but the grip on his arm never let up, so he didn't stray a head or behind and didn't even try to go for his mobiles.
Arriving at apartment 227, Luke pressed a hand to the middle of the door, waiting for a moment for the scanner to recognise it and the lock clicked back.

[Luke Parker]

Opening the door, Luke pushed Ashley in ahead of him, kicking his front door closed and locking it, sliding the deadbolts across as well.
"In there," he pointed to the guest room. Ash frowned, but went into the room, Luke right behind him.

It was about nine o'clock when he emerged from the room again, locking it behind him, grabbing a coat and leaving, humming under his breath.

[Ashley Parker]

Ash lay on the lino floor, trying to catch his breath again. His head was spinning and it hurt to breathe.
Rolling onto his back, he winced as he jarred his left shoulder, gripping it with his right hand; the increased pressure dulling the pain a bit.
He reflected on the fact he was getting better at keeping his mouth shut - two hours of his brother's interrogation and he still hadn't said anything other than profanities aimed at said brother, even when his phones had rang and Luke had taken the batteries out of them.

[Luke Parker]

Luke returned later on in the day, but he still couldn't get anything out of Ash.
He stopped when his alarms started ringing, alerting him to an unathorised persons entering the perimeter.

[Ashley Parker]

Ash chuckled, forcing himself up into a sitting position, clutching his side, spitting blood from his mouth - he'd been cut and had bitten his tongue at some point.
"You forgot one thing, Luke. I'm never late for a debriefing. Ever." He tried not to smile - even if it got him fired from the organisation, even if it got him put in a cell for several decades - he was praying like mad that Jericho had found him.

[Luke Parker]

Swearing, Luke aimed one last kick at Ash's face before leaving, locking the door behind himself and going to change his shoes and wash his hands before leaving the building.

[Blaine Dapperman]

On arriving at the apartment block, Blaine looked around to check who was around as he parked up. He checked he at least had a gun on him, and then got out of the car, talking to Haylee in a low voice about the apartment number, unsure what to expect.

[Haylee Martins]

Haylee nodded and went inside, on guard. She couldn't see any camera's, so she drew her penknife.
Finding the nearest stairs, she motioned to Blaine that she was going up and did just that, being wary of anyone coming down them, though she met no one on her way to the fourth floor.

[Blaine Dapperman]

Blaine followed Haylee up, keeping an eye on the other doors in case they opened and the pair were ambushed. But it looked like they were okay for now. When he reached the door, Blaine knelt down and pulled out his wallet, finding the lockpick and getting to work.

[Haylee Martins]

Haylee was ready to defend Blaine if someone was waiting inside for them, but there was no one there, and she waited for Blaine to enter first, since he was right in front of her and kind of in her way.
There was no one inside, however, all the inner doors closed, but only one of them was locked - the one to the guest bedroom.

[Blaine Dapperman]

The door swung open and Blaine relaxed into more of a fighter's stance as he stood up - he could've used a weapon, but he was also good at true hand-to-hand combat. There was no one in the main room, but Blaine was still careful as he checked the first door. It was unlocked, and when he opened it, he could see no one in the kitchen. When he reached the next door - the guest room - it was locked, and he frowned slightly, gesturing Haylee over.

[Haylee Martins]

Haylee had gone to the double doors on the other side of the room to check that there was no one on the balcony. It was clear, though, and with a wary glance at the other door Blaine hadn't chacked, she went over to said young man.
Taking a small device from her pocket, she put an ear bud in and pressed the smooth side of the device to the door. It was an amplified stethescope that penetrated 'sound proof' walls - she took it everywhere with her.

[Haylee Martins]

There was a shuffling sound from inside and she frowned, confused - there was definitely someone in there, but they sounded like they were sleeping or something.
Putting the device away, she put two fingers up, put one down and the shrugged - there was possibly two people in there at most, probably only one.
She stood straight again, then, readying to defend against an attack so Blaine could pick the lock - lock picking was one of the few tricks she was yet to learn.

[Ashley Parker]

Ash was lay on his side again, dazed from the last kick from his brother. He was keeping himself moving every couple of seconds - just fidgeting really - so the pain kept him awake and at least slightly alert. He didn't know that someone had entered the apartment since his brother had left - he didn't even know that Luke had left the flat completely - but he knew that something was going on and wanted to be awake in case it was someone coming to help Luke get information out of him.

[Blaine Dapperman]

Blaine nodded, careful in case someone decided to ambush them by coming through the window or something (hey, it'd happened before), but then knelt down and promptly picked that lock too.

[Haylee Martins]

Haylee frowned - the lock was a triple-barrel and obviously very complex - but the lock clicked back after a bit more effort on Blaine's behalf, and the door swung inwards when it opened.
She didn't see Ashley at first - he was near the wall to the right of the door - said door being in her line of sight of that side of the room from where she stood, but she entered cautiously, in case there was someone behind the door ready to jump out at them.

[Blaine Dapperman]

Blaine followed Haylee in, putting the pick back in his pocket and following her in, peeking around the door first in case someone was there. On spotting Ashley, he blinked, caught off-guard for a second, did a quick sweep of the room in case there were doors he might not spot or something and then went over to check if Ash was okay.

[Ashley Parker]

Ash stared at the door as it opened, blinking when he saw Blaine and Haylee.
"What're you two doing here?" he asked quietly, pushing himself up again, gritting his teeth but not complaining.
"Getting you out," Haylee replied, not letting her guard down as she kept an eye on the door. She would have closed it but then that left the chance of them being locked in there, and the window was barred up...
Ash snorted but kept his comments to himself. "Luke'll be back soon..." was all he said and he went to stand.
