in through nose...out through mouth...
i inhale deeply.
"this is going to haunt me for the rest of my life." i say under my breath, still in shock. Great. Yet another thing to haunt me forever, as if i don't already have enough.

Kenshi and RIki were the first two to snap out of it as they got off to change the tire. Every vehicle has a spare tire at the back of the trunk.

"Everybody alright?" Hiro asked. We were about to nod yes, when Takuto yelled: "you two! Get back on! Something's in the air!" to his panicked shout, Kenshi and Riki came back on just in time after changing the tire. 

Riki: "What is it?"

Takuto: "Helicopter, this time. Coming from west, 180km/h."

Riki swore as Kenshi floored the gas pedal. Takuto continued detecting if there's other things around while Hiro and I look intensely around for the helicopter.

We heard it before we saw it.

"Do you hear that?"

"Hear it? My ear is bleeding." Takuto said grumpily, "a heli has so much noise."

"There!" I say and point out a black and silver object coming towards us from behind. 

"We need more options. It's just a matter of time that thing'll catch up." Hiro said. Our hope turned to Riki, he always had plan B. Always.

As if nervous under our high expectations, he shook his head. 

Takuto: "It's right on top of us!"

Just as he shouted that, a bang came from the carport, as in an impact landed on the top. What? D'they drop a timer bomb on us or something?! 

Suddenly, all we could see was black from the front window, whatever that was it covered his view, forcing Kenshi to slam the brakes, yet once again. 

"This kinda reminds me of batman...." I mumbled. Then earned a hit behind my head from Takuto for being stupid.

I pull open the guard of the sunroof and look through the glass. It wasn't *something* that hit the van.

It was Someone. 

Goldilocks, rabbit eyes. And most importantly, that thick violet scarf. Gah! I passed her by my apartment before! Why th hadn't i noticed!

"Rabenda?!" Riki, Takuto and I all shouted at once. Leaving the other two puzzled.

How'd they know her? I mean she kidnapped me so I do, but Takuto or Riki haven't seen her with me before. Then they know each other before?

Her eyes still a blood red color, she smashed the sunroof glass with a black object, shattering spider-webs. Forcing us to get out of the vehicle.

With a full view. There she was. Wearing black tights and a pair of jackboots. Her hair flowed around her shoulders. And that significant violet scarf around her neck. 

"Careful, she can make you pass out with smells." Takuto warned. How the heck did he know that? 

"Even if you cover your nose it'll be no use, tho." I add. 

Riki: "How'd you know that?" 

Lillie: "I'm asking u the same thing!"

"Don't get distracted you idiot!" Takuto pulled me out the way of a dagger--that was just thrown at me while my guard was down. Right. Focus. 

"What do you want?" I ask and daringly take a step closer to Rabenda, who just slipped off the roof of the van and is leaning onto it while standing.

"The White Racoons won't allow you to steal the painting from Kim." was all she said before reaching into her pocket, probably for her flowers.

"The what?" I ask. But Riki and Takuto seem to already know what it was. Kenshi and Hiro both show confused expressions like me. 

Despite knowing the fact that it was no use, we still covered our noses while trying to attack her. But when she spread out a handful of dry pedals, we pass out anyway.

Not again....
