She Moves the World

-Ashley-
We set off shortly after we regrouped. CC agreed to stay behind, along with Jake and Jinxx. Besides, CC let off a grenade at what was the local Starbucks. With no police on duty, he didn’t get charged but we grounded him just in case.
Andy cut his hair while he was at the farmhouse, and it was in an 80’s rocker style: shaved on the sides, and long in the back. Kinda suited him, to tell the truth.
“So, my GPS says we will be passing through a town about 10 miles from here, and if we head down the road, we will come to a clearing and a path. If we take the woods next to that path, we will reach the outpost by night fall,” Andy stated, as though we were in some video game.
“That means we will be at it for most of the day,” I said, a bit bummed.
“Yep,” he answered back, “Fucking yep.”
Walking down the road, we kept out Resistance symbols hidden from passing cars. Andy looked creepy enough, carrying his sniper like he owned the world. We reached a small town, but couldn’t find the name. Many of the residents had scatter to the winds, with what was basically a war brewing.
“Ash, stop moving for a second,” Andy adjusted his eyes, “Yep, that is a small outpost right there,”
He pointed to a small building off of a side road. Two men stood at its door, wearing the BHR uniform.
“Are you thinking what I am thinking?” I asked, looking at him.
He smirked.
“Covert mission: Save some biotics. Go; I will stay here and peck them off. You get those people out alive.”
We both heard screams, and decided to waste no time.
“Ok, so yea,” I stammered.
Turning this implant on was tricky; the only down fall of something so fucking sweet. I closed my eyes and counted to three while passing a window, and could no longer see myself.
“I got thirty minutes to do this,” I said out loud, “No more than that.”
Reaching the building, I signaled Andy by sending him a empty text message.
One shot; guy on the left. Two shot; guy on the right.
Entering the building, I snuck around the first corner only to almost run into a BHR scientist. I decided to get creepy.
Following her for a time, she ended up back at the holding cell – a huge room with nothing but biotic men, women, and children. I allowed myself to phase in a bit. She went to open the door.
“I wouldn’t do that if I were you,” I said in a husky voice.
“Oh my god, what are you?!” she screamed as she turned around, “Oh god, you are Ashley Purdy. I’m a huge fan of yours!”
“Then you should know, you are on the wrong side; forgive me.”
I had taken enough time to pick up a metal pipe, and knocked her out cold. Positioning her in a chair by a monitor, I took some whiskey from my flask and wiped it on her lips, teeth, and tongue. Finding an empty bottle in the corner, I placed it next to her hand I had resting on the table.
“How do I get you out?” I asked quietly.
“The key is by the back door, over on the left wall,” a small boy pointed out.
“Thanks kid,” I smiled, and grabbed the metal object, “You guys need to head to Doc Gibson’s Farm and Produce house just a few miles south. Tell the man at the door Ashley sent you.”
Exiting the door, I found Andy standing next to one of the dead men, smoking a cigarette.
“Well, look at you,” I said, “Looking all casual and shit. Damn Assassin”
“I’m not the one who blew in like the wind,” he exhaled, and continued, “Another scientist entered, but ran out screaming say he saw the Ghost of Ashley Purdy, the BVB bassist.
“Ghost, huh,” I said, tugging on my vest. “I like it; I think I’ll take it.”
“Assassin sounds pretty awesome, itself.”

-Andy-
Ash and I walked a bit further as the sun started to dip in the sky. Knowing we would hit the clearing soon, we quickened our steps.
“Did you know my eyes are now equipped with night vision?”
“Andy, that was random.”
I laughed, and stopped myself as the clearing came into view.
“Remember; low and slow, Mr. Ghost.”
“Understood.”
He traveled down the path undetected as I ran through the trees. My long legs helped with covering the distance needed to travel. Finally, we reached it; the BHR Outpost.
“Guards are everywhere,” I whispered.
“I know I can get in, but what about you?”
I had a plan, but it came at a price.
“I’m going to peck off as many guys as I can to give you time to secure an entrance. I know it sounds risky, but our mission is to get Vi out of there; I plan to do that at any cost.”
“Andy, that’s crazy, dude,” he whispered back at me, “But if you are serious –.”
“I am; give me time to climb this tree here, and I will signal you to go.” I said, giving him a bluetooth headset I had in my pocket.
“These are connected to each other; I will keep you posted until I’m either found out, or we have secured Vi.”
“Good luck, dude,” he said, going completely stealth.
“You, too.”

Finally getting in position, I gave Ashley the signal.
(Andy to Ash)
“Ok, I have the guy on the roof sighted,”
“Popped him; the guards are alert now, be careful”
“One… two… three… four, shit I think someone saw me.”
“I have been spotted; I repeat, Ghost I have been spotted.”
“I’m running back through the trees; with any luck I will catch up to you later. Be careful, and get Violet back to CC.”

I ran until I couldn’t anymore; I sat behind a tree and smoked one last cigarette before the guards caught up with me.
“Oh, the boss will be happy about this one,” the chubby one said.
“Yep,” he said, dialing into his boss.
“He have Black Veil Brides member in custody, sir. Yes, I will bring him in.”
“What took you guys so long?” I spat out sarcastically.
The knocked me out cold with my own rifle.

-Ashley-
With Andy being manhandled, I found my way in with ease. I worried about him, but had to find Violet at any cost. I climbed the stairs to the third floor, which seemed to be where a bunch of medical supplies were kept. No one was in sight, nor did I hear anything.
“I really have to piss,” I whispered to myself.
Finding a medical supply room with a bathroom proved to be a challenge, but I succeeded at the last second. As soon as I closed the door, I heard feet running in my direction. Peering out the window, I saw what looked like Violet shut herself into a broom closet.
Let me take a leak really quickly, I thought, then maybe she will come in here.
“She went this way, I am sure of it,” spoke one man
“She couldn’t have gone far,” said another older, aged voice in return.
Shit, that was Vi!
I decided to wait for the coast to be clear before flushing; the toilet was gross anyway, so I didn’t look forward to handling it.
As I sat in silence, I heard the door open. Heavily breathing followed, followed by a whimper of pain. A desk was almost silently moved up towards what I figured was the door. Hearing movement, I flushed and prepared myself.
“Vi,” I whispered, “Vi, are you in here,”
“Ashley,” she whispered back, wincing at the pain in my shoulder.
“Oh my god, girl,” Isaid, quickly walking over toward her battered body without a sound, “What happened?”
“Those people that took me at that truck stop,” she said, squirting Neosporin out onto my left fingers, “They knew about me; they knew about what I can do.”
“What, the biotics or whatever you call it,” I said, making an attempt to hold her sleeve up off hershoulder.
“Yea,” she hissed through her teeth, the touch of the cool ointment coming in contact with the gash on her shoulder.
“Jinxx is going to be so excited to know you are safe,” I said, feeling relieved.
“What about Andy?” she asked, finally wrapping her shoulder as well as shecould.
“They still have him,” I replied, helping her stand.
“Then you need to go back to the Bus, and tell Jinxx, Jake, and CC that I am okay,” She fixed the ponytail on top of her head, and adjusted her shirt.
“I’m going to give these fuckers all I’ve got,”
