The NORMALS

3: return to base

"We really need to find a driver" said Black Lynx as she pedaled through the dark of night for hours.

The watch shop was far from their "base", just like every shop thrive robbed, they didn't want to catch any attention close to them.

The blood already dried on her white skirt.

"It looks cooler that way, HAHA it's like I'm bringing a souvenir." A funny psychopathic teen at heart.

Not the very athletic type, Black Lynx still moved like a fast predator. She needed to have these skills to be a good assassin. But she would never be as invisible and light as Shadow. Shadow had great skills. Only at fifteen, she could take down a dozen without them ever seeing her face. Fast, light and invisible; that was the definition of Shadow, though she was very lazy and always liked to work indoors, with computers. She was still good with computers, master of hacking, but she never truly realized what she could accomplish if she went outside.

The Lynx was most likely the opposite, she didn't like to be stuck in one place, the indoors creeped her out and she never liked to stalk online, she thought that spying right out her preys windows was far more exiting. Like Shadow, she was a master at spying. But Black Lynx had something in particular that Shadow hadn't; a force, a deeper connection to murder than Shadow, she felt moved by her preys like it was a fun game. She was like a little kid, getting dessert before dinner. Shadow liked that part of her friend, it never scared her, the two of them had the brains and they knew that working together is far far more exiting than being alone.

Although this excitement Black Lynx had, before brutally murdering someone was truly a blessing for the pair, it was also very dangerous.

You see, Black Lynx was intelligent and logic but when it comes down to business and she's about to act, the brains stop working. Everything becomes blank in her head and the only thing she wants is blood. Black Lynx knows her condition, but she cant help it and she also knows that her friend is always worrying when she's alone comitting murders. They never spoke of it, of course, both of them had enough of brains to know what the other was thinking. They've grown up together after all.

"that one was a real Picasso" said Shadow, as the other entered the dark office.

"I think that one had a cholesterol problem, by the look of his blood." the other responded. Black Lynx felt a bit down, like always after having such a thrill.

"what does the consistency and color of the blood change?"

"A lot. You would've known if you were there." the Lynx returned to her bitchy self. Shadow was quite relived to see her gaining spirit again. their next heist was approaching, she must've felt relived to think about it.

"You know I'm not returning to that." a deep silence filled the room. They didn't like to remind themselves of the day they'd almost been caught. "...plus, somebody has to stay and guard the house."

"yeah because your parents and brother REALLY need a babysitter.", Black Lynx responded.

Realistically, Shadows family didn't need a babysitter. Their corpses were fine on their own.

And like always, Black Lynx started to clean the mess that Shadows made while her friend was gone for approximately an hour. Crumbs of chips and empty Monsters lying around the desk like a dumpster.

"HEYYYY don't touch that! its my collection"

"Shut up this isn't a collection you're just lazy to clean it up. There's a bin right beneath your desk and you don't even use it dumbass." Black Lynx always liked to make a mess of blood everywhere she went, but in their "hideout", she was a clean freak bitch. Shadow didn't mind, she never cleaned up her messes.

"Hey I found you a driver because you always said that biking home was ridiculous-"

"stop changing the subject. Were talking about your mess here."

"No I'm serious. I just gotta tell you now because its the perfect time to go and grab her."

"uh? Her?"

"you prefer a man?"

"...what's her info?"

"Well, she has the surname Baby. 14. Probably the best driver in the country. but she's absolutely reckless. Thirty dead in a matter of minutes and done with a mini Volkswagen. She got caught and she's been sentenced life. Rumors had it, she ran over her parents when she was 11. That's how she became orphan. Her dad was a retired racecar master. It was probably him that taught her how to drive. The fun part is, they discovered her dad had affairs with the Italian Mafia and he was a driver. Baby's been homeschooled and he always took her on "business trips" with him which means somehow, she was involved with the mafia too, my guess is, at a very young age, she was a driver for the greatest assassins in the world. We gotta have her."

Black Lynx was always impressed by her friends skills, Shadows just done that research in a couple of seconds.

"Shadow, you know I don't work well with prisons, this might be a bit difficult."

"That's the thing!" a big smile grew on Shadows face, this thrill of solving mystery made her cheeks blush a bright red. "she's being moved tomorrow. At five a.m. We're going to hijack the three police cars that will be transporting her through the Plains"

"When you say we're you mean me right." Said Black Lynx in a disappointed tone.

"I'm coming with you-"

"AAAHH?! FINALLY"

"-BUT, you do the dirty business I'll stick to guarding you. In the middle of the cars, there's a high tech transport truck, the police never underestimates the girl of a Mafia big boss driver, so we gotta be careful there may be tricks"

"How are we gonna hijack them if you're there with me?"

"I already know which cars they're going to take. I put a bomb timer on the back car and another timer on the truck. Approximately ten seconds appart. But It'll only mess with the wheels. While they lose control, we hop in the back, this part will be moving fast because the ground is sand and the drivers a ex-military so he'll do like in the military driver technique. He'll-"

"He'll never stop and restart. He'll finish what he started that means he'll probably drift to the left side because that's a reflex from his shooting arm to cross. The sands gonna fly up right into where we want to land so if we open the doors quick, the officers guarding the prisoner will be blinded by the flying little rocks and sand."

Sometimes, Shadow wasn't sure if it were necessary to explain plans to her friend. They already knew everything.

"...exactly. So when the time comes, you'll do your shit like always and maybe blast some heads in the car upfront too, I detach Baby and we leave."

"What will assure you she'll come?"

"She surely already knows about the prison she's about to go to. When she sees you tearing peoples limbs appart, it'll bring her back to life." Black Lynx was not gonna lie, that exited her to have and admirator.

"...oh and also I've got a present for her. It'll be just outside the truck when we'll be about to leave."

The two friends got exited to the fact of having a new member. The mission plan was okay. It wasn't the thrilling part. Hijacking police cars, they did that to pass time. They couldn't wait to meet Baby.
