Fuck.
There were so many.
Just now took the life out of me. This was wasting my God damn time.
Shit.
I stood up and aimed getting ready to fire again, but they started dropping dead.
Bullets whizzed down from above and I looked around to see Jack, Frankie , the remaining marines that came in with us and five of the marines we’d left outside with rifles.
They had my back.
My whole body sighed with relief.
“Boy, head down the corridor, quick, that bastard has her over some pit,” Jack yelled pointing down the path to my right. He started running too heading down to where I was.
I ran down the path and through another set of double doors. This part looked entirely different. It was more like the factory style set up I’d gone to in Nepal. The place were Claire died. This area looked like that.
I was going full speed ahead until a shot hit the metal piping hovering over me.
I stopped and snapped around to see Ethan coming at me with a shot gun.
Good, it was time to start seeing some of the people I’d wanted to kill the fuck dead the most.
Like an animal I launched myself at the asshole. He thought he was a match for me with that gun.
He was not. But maybe he would be with the machine gun he’d started to use.
I had to jump out of the way to avoid being hit and scuttle over to hide behind another set of pipes. These were large and tubular, almost big enough for me to fit inside.
“Yes, you think you can get me!” He taunted jeering me. “Give me the fucking prints Xander. Give them the fuck to me!”
“Go fuck yourself you fucking dog!” I cried back. Word attack, word vomit, whatever anyone wanted to call it, it was just a taste of all I’d wanted to say. There was so much to say to him, yet none of it really mattered.
The result of being betrayed was feeling betrayed.
The emotion coiled through my whole body, being this close to him. Within the vicinity of him.
I wasn’t close enough though. Not to do the damage I wanted.
The aim was just to get to him. If I could get close I could get him.
Iwouldbe able to get him and take him down.
I rolled over as he came at me and decided to just go for him using one of my crazy tactics. People innately assumes you’d retreat from danger, not go toward it.
It was built in us to flee at the sign of anything that could kill us.
I flipped that around every time as a surprise attack. This time it worked no less than it always had.
I went straight to him and stunned him. I managed to knock him to the ground even as he fired the shots. He dropped the gun and the two of us rolled over a couple of times from the impact of my attack.
He moved before me to try and get me but I didn’t allow it. I got him first with all the rage inside me.
I’d been building for him and Balthazar.
I’d been building up and ready for them.
