Blast is waiting for you.” She tapped him again, but it still didn’t do much so she smacked him, hard enough to leave a red mark on his cheek.
    “Joint.” She said his name more firmly before reaching out and grabbing the front of his shirt, shaking him harder. He wasn’t rousing though.
    She looked around the room and they all looked like that. They seemed to be sleeping, high on something that had mellowed out their senses so bad they couldn’t even open their eyes.
    “Jesus Christ.” She took a deep breath, threading her fingers through her hair in a nervous gesture. How was she going to get a dozen or two unconscious people out of a house crawling with agents?
    A voice drifted from the room where the two guards laid out cold. She turned quickly, not sparing another glance for the boys in the room as she moved to the wall and peered out. Two people were walking toward the room, one was a woman and the other a man who seemed to move fluidly through the shadows.
    Her mind recalled how the beast had moved like that and she suppressed a shiver. She had no time to find somewhere to hide. She was either going to run right into them and they were going to add her to this group or they would kill her. She didn’t want either option so she moved to the window and knowing that it would make noise either way she drew back her fist and smashed the window into pieces.
    The teeth of the jagged glass edge bit into her palm as she grabbed the windowsill and hauled herself up, pulling her chest over and through. The glass cut her chest and she winced before tumbling headfirst through the window, landing on a sprawl on the ground. She moved to her feet quickly, turning to look back through the window, she’d only fallen maybe 3 feet and could’ve easily jumped it. She felt stupid but didn’t have time to dwell on it as a face appeared at the window.
    Two wide blue eyes met hers and the mouth formed a perfect full pout. The eyes widened more if it was even possible and she gasped.
    “Rose?” Quill stumbled back more, staring up at her little sister - who, frankly, wasn’t that little anymore - and shook her head in disbelief.
    “Run!” It was the only thing Rose said to her and Quill did as she was told - just like last time. She turned and hightailed it out of there. But there was only one thought in her head. This time she was going to get her little sister out of there.
    She circled the block a few times, her heart racing into overtime. That’s why the guard had been so confused. Rose was in there already. They looked enough alike the confusion would’ve made sense but trying to get in through the front door a second time was insane. Quill was insane but not by that much.
    Hiding in a bush big enough to provide cover Quill waited. When she was sure whatever had gone down in the room she’d left her sister in was over, she started thinking about finding another way into the house again. She had to get back there, get to Rose and get her the hell out of there for good. Leaving Rose behind the first time was her biggest regret. But when Rose said run, she did.
    She wheezed as her heart ached painfully in her chest. She was exerting herself too much, even for her standard. She was running on empty and she didn’t have much left in her except what it would take to get in there and get Rose.
    It had to be enough.
    Slipping from her cover Quill moved silently around the edge of the house and looked for another way in. She could always use another window, but the glass had made so much noise the first time. If she bothered going back to the side she’d left through she was certain it would be crawling with guards. The two she knocked out could very well be giving a description of her to the others by now.
    Crouching down she moved her hand along the foundation of the house. It was too dark to see anything on this side, there wasn’t even a spotlight to guide her at all but maybe…
    Her fingers curled around the framework
