Heist

[Yaoquizque]

Still raising her unhurt arm as a sign of defencelessness, Teta staggered backwards into the direction Jiro pointed out, the position of Takeru-san.

Seeing that he offered himself as hostage made her believe his motives were more than just exchanging a badly wounded hostage for a fit one with a chance to survive. Still not knowing what the rebels were about to do, she alternately looked at Ishikawa and Sanada, waiting.

Shin left the cover as he noticed her, and yelled : "C'mon Teta move it get here NOW!"
Being yelled at, she looked a last time at Jiro before turning around and running behind the fearless Takeru-san towards the position of the loyal KNF personnel.

Since the two rebels already had focused their attention to the Chimearas, Nakamura-san was eventually able to reach the position of Takerus men, and was quickly taken into cover to be treated by one officer proficient in first aid procedures.

Hideaki exhaled and kept the gun pointed at Jiro. Then he gazed over to Junko for a moment, apparently she was unhurt. He slowly moved closer to the chimaera. "We'll get going as soon as possible.."
After taking a look at the remaining security, he signalled his team to stop firing, making sure they are in cover.
Ishikawa leaned against the chimaera, still watching Jiro closely. "Junko, we'll take this one. You fly."

She was assessing the situation, ensuring all the rebels were safe. Eventually, she asked :
"The heck happened to you. You're injured. In the hold!" while pointing her head towards the Chimaera he asked her to pilot.

Jiro held his gun from its barrel, and pointed the handle to Ishikawa, to finish his surrender.

"Takeru-san... It's... going to be over soon... please... get Nakamura-san bandaged, if you can... she's losing blood..."

After Ishikawa took his gun, he nodded to him, and took another step to the chimaera they were closest to : the one that belonged to their Wingleader, who was shot by Junko. She was still hanging down from the cockpit, with half her body.

Jiro touched her wrist to check her pulse, hoping she would still be alive. She looked dead to him all that time. He pulled her from the chimaera, and took her in his cradle. The chimaera was now ready for the rebel personnel to board.
"Is she alive...?" Asked quietly the woman with a tint of... Was it amusement or remorse?

"Her pulse is weak, but she's still alive..." Jiro simply said without displaying any emotion.
Junko nodded.
"Then carry her like the charming prince you are. And run to your -friends-, before i feel the need to break you an arm or a leg."
"You'd better run along now before I just decide to get you all killed here..." Jiro said, as a matter of fact.
She considered him for a short while and eventually smiled warmly.

Then she directed to Ishikawa :
"What are you waiting for? Plan to repaint red all the docks' floor? Show some empathy to the people who will have to clean said floor, damnit"

Ishikawa gave the signal to leave and nodded at Junko. "I'll be careful with the bleeding."
Assuring himself that everybody could get out he then turned to the hold of the chimaera and crawled into it. Finally, he allowed himself to rest, now that he was in relative safety.

Without the adrenaline holding him together, he collapsed onto the floor, grunting because of the pain and hoping that Junko would be able to bring them home.
She was herself making a sign to tell others to 'get in the choppa'. She eventually said before climbing to enter in the cockpit :
"Well... It's been nice to meet you all, but now we must go..."
