Reckless

Kane arrived back at their quarters soon enough to find everyone waiting for her to come back. Holding out something, which appeared like a chip from a far distance Kane smirked, "Let's go"!

"Hold up!" The Sanders brother prompted. "You can't actually think this is a good idea"? 

"I'm going. Wanna come or not?" She tilted her head coyly and walked out of the door.

The team members looked at each other before curiosity got the better of them and they ran after her to follow.

After a certain distance, Xander and the Sanders siblings felt lost. Kane, however, strolled through the place as if she knew every bit of the unknown building they were currently at. If someone had asked the team a few days back which of team C members they found most suspicious, they would have picked Kane without a doubt. She kept to herself, but she was reckless as hell. 

"Wait wait wait" Xander whispered, stopping everyone in their tracks. "Look" he pointed at the hallway downstairs where Kaze was being led to somewhere, while multiple DUET officers trailed him. They were lucky none of the guards caught them, but somehow it seemed Kaze had noticed their presence. 

"Should we follow them"? The Sanders sister asked. 

"Wherever he is being led to, it'll be heavily guarded, at least for now". Kane declared. "We shouldn't go".

"How can you possibly know that"? The Sanders brother scoffed. 

"IAEA doesn't trust him. And I trust IAEA to go nuts on someone they don't trust" Kane scoffed. 

"What are talking about"? Confused, Xander asked. 

"My best guess, they'll kill him. And they'll make a show of it" Kane shrugged. 

"So what? We just go back"? The Sanders brother scoffed. 

Suddenly all of them fell to the ground as the entire building began to shake. Collecting themselves, they latched onto something firm. "What's happening?" Sanders sister mumbled. 

"Earthquake"? Xander suggested. 

"It's an explosion dummy"! Kane huffed.

"Wait, does it mean Kaze is dead"? Sanders brother asked. Someone who found Kaze intolerable from day one, didn't quite seemed pleased about it.

"Someone is. That explosion is bound to kill some humans if not all aliens" Kane scoffed. She looked around herself and soat, "F**k! We're under lockdown now. The systems are down" She cursed.

"Wait, we're stuck here"? Xander asked. 

"Not yet, no. Let's run" She declared and made a run. Everyone else simply ended up following her. They knew it was a bad idea, very very bad idea to follow her every whim, but at this moment they had no choice. 

Once they were finally out of that current building, the entire floor began to shake once more, "Another explosion"? Asked Sanders sister.

"No, some ship must be taking off,'' Kane commented. It made sense given how the vibration was much rhythmic but with a lower intensity than before. Finding themselves a window for a proper gaze they noticed one of the huge ships taking off, aiming for the sky.

"Something tells me that's our stowaway Alien" Sanders brother smirked.

"Well, let's see if the IAEA can keep up". Xander mumbled.

The ship finally disappeared from their sight which prompted them to leave. But before they could go that far, an announcement ran through the entire building, "The ETN cadets are immediately Summoned to the hallroom of building S".

The froze in their spot. "Why us"? Sanders sister mumbled. "Do you think we are caught".

"Damn it"! Sanders brother cursed.

"Let's go and see what they want, shall we? They are calling us nicely, so I hope it's not that bad" Zander gulped.

"I agree with this idiot," Kane sighed and led them.

Xander frowned at her. He did not enjoy being called an idiot but before he could counter her, she was already out of his sight. He, along with the rest quickly followed her.

They were in the said hallroom in no time and while entering he they noticed many gawking eyes at them, including Captain McKinley and their team Mentor, Captain Ramirez. They couldn't help but imagine the ways they'll be kicked out for their violations.

"Have a seat", sternly, Captain Ramirez asked.

They did as they were asked, almost sweating through their uniforms (except Kane, who seemed quite alright, even excited for being kicked out).

"As you're aware a team member of yours have tricked us, even attacked one of our dear colleagues in an occasion" Captain McKinley began. "And he has managed to escape us. But we need to investigate further. Just because he is gone does not imply we are safe. We must ensured our own safety". She explained. 

None of them spoke, waiting to see where this was headed. "I expect full cooperation from you. Can I trust you guys"? She asked. 

"Of course"

"Yeah"

"Definitely"

"..."

Apart from Kane almost everyone replied. Captain McKinley turned to her, "You refuse to cooperate"?

"I'll cooperate. Trust, man that's not something I do." Kane blurted. 

"You don't trust us"? Captain McKinley asked, amused. 

"I don't trust anyone." Kane declared flatly. "Everyone has secrets".

"I hope you'll tell us whatever 'secrets' you are aware in regards to 'Kaze'," She smirked. 

"There is nothing much to tell. He avoided everyone, and he kept to himself. That's all I know" Kane declared flatly once more.

Captain McKinley clenched her teeth before spatting, "You're useless"

Kane simply shrugged at that response. Seeing how infuriated Captain McKinley was about to be, Captain Ramirez put a hand on her shoulder and spoke, "Since you don't have any information, you can leave" He spoke to Kane. Kane took a final glance at everyone and walked right away. "The way of you, do you have anything to add"?

"Not really". They all mumbled. 

"Wait, when you first arrived here, you called him a pervert. Why is that"? Captain McKinley recalled and thus asked Sanders brother. 

"He stole my clothes once, from our swimming pool" Sanders sister prompted. "Now it makes sense" she whispered. 

"Which is"? Captain McKinley probed.

"He was an alien trying to fit in, so he stole my clothes. " She replied. 

"That's all" Captain McKinley narrowed her eyes suspiciously. Sanders sister nodded in response. 

"Well, let us know if you find anything else" Captain McKinley declared and dismissed them
