thiefs........

I heard Zoe's laughter and the officers didn't look impressed. "Seriously! They had a freaking airplane here, waiting." I lied. "I can identify them in a photo line-up if you like."

I tried to keep from laughing. If I laughed they'd surely hear me.

"Look, their airplane was bright pink, it had sky-blur pink spots and it went that way," I insisted, pointing at the sky.

I couldn't help it, I laughed. I watched as the Officers looked in my direction. God I was an idiot.

Lan dropped in behind the officers gestured at Becca to get Zoe then grabbed the first officer from behind, flipping him "Time to dance boys, I believe I am wanted." he said, his hood hiding his face "7 counts of murder, three thugs one guard two police officers and a judo trainer."

I looked back at Beth who was staring at the scene wide eyed. Guys, beths over there. I said, hoping they'd get the message not to do anything reckless.

He looked at Zoe his voice would not of been heard by Beth nor would she see his face. The officers turned on him, one getting up the other two drawing fire arms.

"Lan, cool off." I whispered, hearing Zoe. I used my gift and morphed into that of a little girl. I started fake-crying. It was believable. "My mommy left me here on my own. I'm lost." The two officers ushered me inside, forgetting about Zoe, Beth and Lan. They asked for my mom's phone number and I gave them a bad line. "My brother's out there." I pointed to the door, still fake-crying.

I stayed in the shadows an ran at vampire speed toward beth, hoping she hadn't seen me. I grabbed her hand and pulled her around the corner.

I laughed as Zoe pulled me away. I was still laughing when we stopped.

I heard her laughing, she obviously hadn't seen me then; which was good.

Lan frowned and when the two others had gone he leapt up onto the roof of the station,watching through the skylight.

I looked up in awe and saw Lan. My expression would've been perfect for my disguise. I only looked about two. "Brudda! Lan! Lan!"

HE sighed, pulling back his hood he grinned at the officers below, the two with Becca should and four came pouring out onto the concrete below guns drawn one yelled "Come down from there." and Lan said simply "Leave, now." to Becca before he swung down the side and vanished after Zoe and the other girl.

I morphed back to my own self. He was such a killjoy. I followed him towards where Zoe and Becca had headed 'round the corner.

I looked back and saw Lan heading this way. Oh god I thought. This would be a night Beth wouldn't forget.

HE stopped the two girls before he pulled the cowl of his jacket back up, the only modern jacket he owned. He crouched in the shadows as Becca arrived.

I smiled as the guy who was with Becca came into view, and then becca. I was still laughing, for no apparent reason, I had cracked up.

Lan remained deadly still in the shadows, silent and grim

When I looked back up, the guy had gone. I didn't find it weird, just plain hilarious.

"Control yourself girl" Lan growled "Or they will find us" he remained crouched in the shadows a foot away from Zoe and Beth

I watched Beth laugh her head off. God she was strange, but in a good way.

I shut up and sat on the ground, the brush was taller than me when I was sitting, so I would be safe. I yanked Becca and Zoe down, too, by their sleeves.

He leaned out of the shadows, his face an inch from the girls, Beth he thought her name was "I hope you sleep easy girl, because they will be after you for a while." he laughed grimly before leaning back again.

I burst out laughing again, for no apparent reason. His words should've scared me. The little girl who was sitting next to me got up and climbed out of the bushes, talking to the men.
