teens of denial
Ace watched as everyone at the table displayed their cards before doing it as well. The boss pulled his quick winnings towards himself and the game continued, but Ace seemed lost in thought. His skin started to glow blue, and the boss cocked an eyebrow towards him. "Who you trying to talk to, kid?" He was familiar with the look the boy got when he was using his telepathy, and he was uneasy about what he was exactly doing with it.
"Listening," He lied, and he lied well. Spades asked no more questions and he was free to continue the mindless game of poker while also working to get a message into Rowan's mind.
Get the gun.
Rowan's head shot up and he inhaled sharply. The sound was intrusive and familiar, and he almost panicked before he recognized who it was. "I don't know where she is but we have more important things to do right now. Cover me." He started slipping through the crowds of people, keeping his head down so he wouldn't be noticed. He had to rethink his combat outfit, it made him easy to pick out.
Ace was still playing. Three chips left. The light grew brighter as he tried to let Saphira hear him. Grab the two on my right. and then Leighton Go for the two on my left.
Then it started. Rowan stopped moving a good few feet from the table and snuck his branch down from his ankles, across the floor and then slowly up Bow's body. The shots started ringing out instantly, firing straight into the thick branches, but Rowan didn't flinch. Determined to grab the gun.
Ace kept playing the game with a sly grin as the chaos began, hoping that the girls would listen to what he asked for.
