Fucking dammit.
I wipe tears from my eyes as I decide a clean shot is impossible.
“Sarah? Sarah? Focus, goddamn it. Focus,” Rage yells through the device.
I’m just standing, still wondering how close we were at reuniting before all went to shit.
The Muttawa hits the man in the shemagh in the ribs, making him take a step back. He trips with Frenchman’s body and falls, taking me down with him. The Muttawa points his gun and gets ready to pull the trigger.
Shit!
Click.
The gun jams,The Shemagh,as I decide to call him, swipes The Muttawa’s feet from under him, making him fall to the ground.
That’s a clear shot.
I fire a round in between his eyebrows.
Die motherfucker!
The Shemaghsighs and says something in Arabic to me I can’t understand. We stand up, and I try to explain with signs that removing the boxes blocking the door is in our best interest. Somehow he understands, and the rest of the horde helps too.
Finally, the door is clear,The Shemaghtries to open it, but it is locked.
He steps back and tries to push it open with his shoulder.
Once.
Twice.
Nothing.
The door won’t budge.
Shots fired from the main room are getting closer with every moment that passes.
Fuck this. I didn’t come this far to die in a shithole like this.
I tapThe Shemaghon the shoulder, count to three with my fingers then motion that I will push too.
He nods.
One…
Two…
Three!
We both push at the same time, and the door busts open. We both fly into a dark, dirty room.
Our only exit is medium-sized window facing to an alley, and that’s all we need. But not everyone will be able to get out.
Luckily the window opens without much struggle. I peek out, it looks clear. I throw my duffel first then jump out, landing on the arid ground. The sound of gunfire inside is muffled now.The Shemaghlands behind me, while the rest of the mob fights each other to get out. As soon as one of them gets in front of the window ready to jump out, someone else pulls him back and positions himself in front. Idiots. They will all die.
No time to waste, I need to get the fuck out of here, fast.The Shemaghspeaks to me in Arabic and gestures for me to follow.
I can’t ask Rage what to do. If I do that, it will give me away in a second.
