"Who was there to reach?" Ender inquired. "Oh, the other actors from your show called and accused me of kidnapping Nate."

[Mint]

"Awesome, do you know where they were calling from?" Mail laughed.

[Uke]

"The airport," Ender commented, rather calmly.

[Mint]

"They're already in Winchester!" Mail cheered before the lights in the garage started flashing red and steel shutters began to close up all the exits. "Shit!"

[Uke]

"Fuck!" Zero cried as Ender gunned it.

[Mint]

Mail was knocked- hard -back into his seat with Near as the car tore around and made for one of the exits- the steel shutters coming down fast.

[Uke]

Ender sat very still in his seat, his eyes on the goal and not the impending doom. Zero ducked and Near turned to hide his face in Mail's shoulder.

It went by in almost slow motion. The car inched forward as the gates inched down. There was the sound of metal crunching and glass cracking as the two met, the gate scraping the top of the car and causing the windows, wind shield, and back window to all crack and then shatter.

[Mint]

Mail covered Near from the glass shards and sparks as the car screeched out of the garage just narrowly avoiding being cut in two by the portcullis. It took Ender only a moment to regain control of the vehicle as they peeled out.

[Uke]

Reaching up, Ender flicked open the case for the garage door opener and pressed the button, holding it down for five seconds before releasing it.

The gate's gears turned and it unlocked, before pulling itself open as Ender sped through it.

[Mint]

"...What about the kids?" Mail asked worriedly. "And that Far guy?"

[Uke]

Not answering, Ender pulled the car to a stop just outside of the gate and Zero hopped out, crying, "Good luck!" as he rushed back toward the gate.

"Zero!" Near cried in alarm, shaking heavily in Mail's hold.

"There's nothing we can do for him," Ender informed, gunning the gas a second time.

[Mint]

"Wait, stop!" Mail burst as they drove off- leaving the orphanage behind. "You can't just leave them!"

[Uke]

"Zero can handle himself," Ender informed. "Roger is terrified of Far and he's going to need Zero there to calm him down."

[Mint]

"What are you talking about?" Mail frowned as he pulled Near against him.

[Uke]

"Far is Schizophrenic," Near whispered, shaking in Matt's arms. "And can get a little... violent... when it comes to protecting those he cares for..."

"And that hasn't changed," Ender confirmed.

[Mint]

"So he's gonna go ballistic?" Mail blinked. "How is that situation any better? What if he hurts Zero or the kids?"
