Was it really wrong of him to accept this mission even though there had been so many suspicions? Was it really wrong that once he rescued Shizu he found he didnâ€™t mind playing teacher and showing her what freedom was like? Was it any surprise that there was a lot of trouble involved in this? During the entire car ride he couldnâ€™t help but have those thoughts running through his mind while he leaned his head against the window of the passenger door and closed his eyes to rest for a bit. He only nodded here and there as he listened to Ivan ramble on about how in trouble he was and how Shizu was pointing out several things as they drove past them. It wasnâ€™t long before the car came to a halt telling him that they arrived at their destination. There was a great amount of relief that came over him when he noticed that there had not been any trouble and it put him a little more at ease. However, with all his thoughts he had during the ride, his demeanor had become more professional than he felt he had been lately now.<br/><br/>When he exited the car, the door was shut just soft enough that it hadnâ€™t been slammed shut. He barely paid Ivan any attention when he spoke to him before driving off.<br/><br/>He knew Ivan was pissed off at him, the man was always upset with him since they didnâ€™t quite see eye to eye. But in the end the man was indeed his friend. A sigh escaped him as he imagined what he and Elias would say to him, but he had a feeling it wasnâ€™t something newâ€¦ Then again they didnâ€™t know what Shizu was. He glanced at her, debating whether or not he should explain to her that she should probably reveal herself to them. Then again that might just bring about more conflict in the end and be troublesome for the both of them. Maybe he really has become somewhat attached to herâ€¦ The thought was starting to frustrate him more than anything and since he did not have any alcohol to help him keep a level head he didnâ€™t need that frustration on top of everything. He did his best to calm himself for now as he did not want to take anything out on her.<br/><br/>She had done nothing wrong; it was his fault for getting attached to her. Perhaps this was all his fault that trouble found its way to him as well, but it wasnâ€™t like he was always this sloppy; blame the fact he was not quite use to being a bodyguard and was more for the hit man job than anything. When he worked as a hit man, he didnâ€™t have to get attached to or trust anyone outside of his inner circle. Maybe that was another reason Ivan and Elias were so angry with him. If that was the case he certainly wouldnâ€™t blame themâ€¦ and he kept in mind he owed them a lot. Unfortunately Ivan and Elias were the least of his worries. It was flying this thing and getting them home. This was going to be a long ass flight, he thought to himself. He had basic knowledge of flying since he was in the military but he preferred not to do it himself. The plane looked small, but it was big enough for four people, which lead him to wonder just exactly who their pilot was.<br/><br/>â€œ<span style="font-style: italic">Benzonna</span>,â€ he swore under his breath in a sharp tone, too tired and frustrated for English for a moment. Looking to Shizu once he calmed down a bit, â€œYes, we will be flying in this.â€ And almost on queue they found out who their pilot was. Everything seemed to be on queue today, he found it a bit odd honestly, but he didnâ€™t think much of it. Given there was even a pilot, he was thankful that Elias had taken into consideration that Azrai could not fly a plane well to save his life this time around. He knew the pilot thankfully but he knew that he had more to worry about now. â€œIt has been quite a long time, Lucian.â€ He said once the man stepped out of the plane. Being a bit more friendly than usual was another way of him keeping his cool though most people saw it as him being an ass-kisser.<br/><br/>Lucian looked the two over with a stern yet tired look in his eyes, â€œYou had better hope that she was worth saving. Trouble that finds you is trouble for us all, I hope youâ€™re aware.â€ He spat, â€œGet in and fasten your seatbelts. Be lucky I donâ€™t charge you a fee.â€ Lucian has had almost three years experience in the Air Force but he has only flown civilian planes. You would never find him sitting in the cockpit of an F-22. He would never admit it but he was afraid of flying fast and didnâ€™t like sharp turns; he was more for a smoother ride than some wild dog fight. Despite that he was serious about what he did for Azrai and the others, though he was closer to Elias than anyone was including Azrai. He loved that man like his very own brother and it was because of his request that he was here getting these two out of the city. He just hoped it was worth the trip. Azrai could be so troublesome at times, he hated it.<br/><br/>He made sure everyone was settled in before he made preparations to take off; performing the mandatory routine checks every pilot had to go through to make sure their aircraft was suitable for flight. There was enough fuel to make it to Tel Aviv, the weather conditions were excellent, and everything seemed to be fine. With a nod, Lucian brought the plane to the run way and readied for takeoff. Looking back to Shizu and he said, â€œIf this is your first experience flying, youâ€™re in for a treat! Just be aware that youâ€™ll feel pressure in your ears from the change in altitude. Itâ€™s not that bad after awhile, but it does hurt a little at first.â€  He briefly looked back to Azrai, who appeared to be ready to just sleep and sighed before he allowed the plane to accelerate to the speed it needed to take off the ground, steadying it gingerly once it was in the air.<br/><br/>Azrai, as expected, just slept through the flight, hoping to enjoy the few hours of peace while it lasted and hope and pray that nothing else came up.
