Re: Love and War (2) *OPEN!*

[Ziva :)]

"No problem," she smiled.




One week later the place was looking much nicer, and both gangs were situated in their current home. Everything had been deseptively calm on the Cuchillos front except for a few skirmishes here and there.

Though they had originally protested, the two gangs were cooperating fairly well for ex-arch-enemies.

Dru was calm and content for the moment. She stood by a large window and looked out over the courtyard behind the building that had probably once been an area trucks came to load and unload wares. Her new room had a much better view.

After a few moments the Rose leader turned towards the door, and Titan jumped up from were he had been sunning himself to follow her downstairs.

(Nikki was talking about the Roses, not the guns.)
Nikki walked around and thought of something. How long had it been since she'd visited Nat? She decided to go find Dru and talk to her.

[Charlie]

(sorry but it seemed as if she was talking about the guns... just the way it was wrtten made it seem like that)

[Unabound Justice]

(Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. Yeah, it did. She meant the younger Roses who still didn't want to follow the rules.)

[Ziva :)]

((bump))

[Unabound Justice]

(At the top Nikki went to ask Dru something)

[bookcrazI]

Gosh... Update?

[Unabound Justice]

They're in a new base shared with the guns and the roses.

[Ziva :)]

((kk... I've gtg I'll reply tomorrow... I'll tell u everything tomorrow, Book))

[bookcrazI]

Okay... Sigh...

[OpenTheDoor]

Awww pour Bookie.

"Who woulda thought?" Freedom muttered to herself as she leant on wall in the spot which she claim, "This place actually looks alright."
In her hand behind her back she had her knife, flicking open and shut with a swift thumb. You could say that she had calmed down a bit from a week previous, but it was mostly because she stayed clear as much as she could from the both leaders.

[Ziva :)]

((Book, you missed a lot but here's a quick summary. The Guns and Roses made an alliance. Nick was sent off on a dangerous mission to spy on Los Cuchillos. The Guns were bombed while Dru was there- Gabe was hurt, and they move into a sort of half Rose/ half Gun hideout that's pretty cool. Now everybody is preparing to fight the Knives.))

Dru almost. ran into Nikki on the way down the stairs and Titan barked in annoyance.
"Sorry about that," she breathed.

[Unabound Justice]

Nikki shook her head. "It was my fault. Dru, I was wondering if it'd be alright if I went to check on my little brother." She knew that they needed everyone preparing right now so she understood if Dru said no.

[Ziva :)]

"Sure- no problem. If he's in danger you can bring him here- but only in an emergency and you are responsible for him,"
Dru understood family ties, even though she no longer had any family...

[Unabound Justice]

Nikki was relieved. "He's not an any danger. Thank you."

[Ziva :)]

"No problem. Come back soon," she smiled.

[Unabound Justice]

Nikki smiled, nodded and ran off.

[bookcrazI]

(Thank you guys!!!)
Cam: I rechecked the supplies and list of the injured. Not back even with numbers doubled, I thought happily. I went by the beds and checked each person thoroughly before moving on.
" Okay Gabe, looks like you got it pretty bad. I'm going (insert smart doctor words for checking out your injury here) Okay?" I said in my adopted tone. Once in work mode I made my outside a bright cheerful person while the inside was serious and calculating.

[Ziva :)]

((It's been a week so he's probably healed some...))

Dru nodded and headed towards the makeshift shooting range they had set up in the back- thankfully it was quite long, and she set up in the most deserted area.
Taking her Taurus from the holster at her hip, the Rose leader aimed and fired at the target. It hit tree rings from the bull's eye; a seven. She frowned.
The rest of Dru's practice followed much the same form, except for a couple lucky bull's eyes, she stayed mosty in the nine, eight, and seven rings.
Among the Roses this wouldn't have been two bad- after all, your enemy was still dead- but Dru could feel the gazes of several Guns, and she was getting increasingly frustrated.
Finally, after one particularly bad shot, she drew a hidden knife in a sudden fit of rage and threw it in one smooth, blurred motion.
The knife seemed to grow out of the exact center of the target.

[Charlie]

(Only Gabe was hurt in the explosion besides like bruises.)

Gabe ignored the girl who tried to help and insisted he was fine. He watched Dru at the shooting range. And looking straight at her, with out blinked, he aimed for his own target he got a bullseye. He felt as though he needed to prove to her he was the easer of the guns for a reason.

[Ziva :)]

Dru glanced up just as Gabe fired his weapon, and her face flushed with embarrasment and anger. Without looking at him, she went and tugged her knife free. She tore down her target and dropped it to tumble where ever it pleased. Titan watched from his relaxed position where Dru had told him to stay.

[Charlie]

Alaska was sitting at Gabes feet barely a foot behind him. He pocketed his gun, and said, "I thought I should prove I'm not some pansy, prove why I'm there leader." he looked down. "I mean you have a much more commanding presense and seem like more of a leader." he was rambling but felt as if he was speaking the truth he looked nothing like a gang leader, he went against any and all stereotypes for a gang leader or member even.

[Ziva :)]

Dru's anger cooled instantly. "You're a good leader, Gabe. Your people look up to you, and you know just what to say to them. Remember how you talked to Freedom? You have nothing to prove,"
She smiled, "Not to mention you could out shoot me blindfolded. Would you mind giving me a few pointers?"

[Charlie]

Gabe would certainly give her a few pointers. "I know." he smirked he out shot the best blindfolded, "And I will certainly give you anew pointers."

[Ziva :)]

"Thanks," she said sheepishly, and picked up her gun. There were targets aplenty and Dru stapled another to the wood at the far end of the range.

[Unabound Justice]

Nikki was on her way back when an unfamilar thug crossed her way. She stooped calmly. She didn't want any trouble but held her gun which was hidden in her jacket.
