"So wouldn't you have wanted to get as far away from him as possible?" He asked, guessing who 'That dude' was .

"We'd have to be sane to do that," Tekk pointed out, Kitsun grinning in agreement.
"And neither one of us is that." she added. "So, who'd you piss off to wind up here? Wherever the hell this is."

Vex shook his head in disbelief.
"That was Zastava..." He said. "This is his dungeon. Now lets get out of here." He tried to stand.

"Oook... now who the hell is he?" Kitsun asked.
"Big time rich guy. He's hired me before, through a few friends, of course." Tekk answered.
"So?"
"I dunno. It's all crazy here..."
"Well, we're probably shut in."
"So?"
"That's not a good thing."
"We've had worse."
"True, but this guy cheats."
Tekk grinned. "So do we."

Vex watched them talk, bemused.
"Ok, let's go...." He said.
The room they were in wasn't very large, and all of one wall was thick bars that opened out to the corridor.
Noises could be heard. Moans. Pleas for help, and sobs.

"Nice guy," Kitsun said, after a moment of listening.
"Yeah, a real humanitarian." Tekk agreed.
"So, how the hell do we get outta here?"

Vex stood, and felt around on the wall, till his hands rested on one of the pale grey bricks. He then proceeded to tap it three times, and the bars opened. "Like that." Vex ginned, and quietly crept out. "Coming?"

"Somebody's been around the block before," he commented. "What are you leaving out?"

"Ok, so I've been here before. This guy has been after me for a while..." He said, turning to look down the hall.
"Hurry!" He urged them.

"I'll second that..." Kitsun muttered, glancing around. Tekk shrugged and followed. This type of scene didn't bother him at all, having seen--and caused--much worse.

Vex led them down the corridor, and avoided several booby traps. Instructing them in the correct way to step on one part of the corridor, for example.
Vex was getting a sick feeling in his stomach, it was all too easy.
Just then. The door at the end of the hallway they were heading down began to open.

"I knew it," Tekk said calmly.
"Then why didn't you say anything??" Kitsun hissed in outrage.
"Letting you figure it out, Kit."
"Why you goddamn son of a bi--" Her curses were abruptly cut off as her much taller brother slipped his left hand over her mouth.
"Shut up," he said pleasantly.

Vex backed up to them from where he had been in the lead. Urging them apart as he did, to get their attention.
"Pleeeease don't let that be 'them'" He whispered to himself. Right before men in armour that hid their faces began to flood the corridor.
"Damn..." Vex sighed, sounding very dissapointed. And pulled out a knife with 'S.Z' engraved on the handle.
"Be careful" He said to them both, but made eye contact with Kitsun.
He figured Tekk was fairly safe to trust. With his reputation, if he wanted Vex dead, he already would be.
The narrow corridor would hinder their fight.

Tekk let Kitsun go, his sword sliding out of its sheath with a faint hiss of steel. Keeping still, he waited to gague their strength.
Kitsun assumed a martial artist's "ready" stance, weight balanced on the balls of her feet. She was confident, and it showed in her blank eyes.
As one, the Knights moved forward, attacking with kicks and blows, and skilled slashes of that slender, slightly curved blade.

Vex wasn't so confident, they were filling the narrow corridor.
"Go for the arms!" He called. Grabbing one as it attacked him.
He stabbed it in the gut, but it didn't seem to notice, and kept on coming.
He shoved it back, knocking several over.
