and slammed his head into the wall.
“Now!” Nathan yelled.
Sam slid the door shut with as much
force as she could muster. Nathan had positioned the man so that his head was
slightly inside the cell while the rest of his body was outside the cell. When
Sam slid the door closed, it closed directly on the soldier’s neck, effectively
crushing his windpipe.
“That was genius, but now what do we do?”
Sam asked.
“Now you have a gun,” Nathan said as he
picked up the man’s weapon and handed it to her.
The loud slam alerted the other three
people pursuing them, but at least now they had a chance to fight back. Sam
opened the door back up and peeked out of it. A bullet hit the wall just a few
inches away from where her eyes were peering out.
“This isn’t going to be easy,” Sam
said.
Nathan thought for a minute. He had an
idea, but it was going to be extremely risky.
“Maybe it will be,” Nathan said and dragged
the soldier who had just met his end inside.
“What are you doing?” Sam asked.
“You’ll see,” Nathan said as he
stripped the man of all of his body armor.
Nathan put all the armor on. Sam still
looked a little confused, though.
“Okay. Now what?” Sam asked.
“Now I’ll act as a distraction while
you pick off our friends out there.”
“No. You’re not going out there, even
with body armor on.”
“Look, that’s exactly what I’m about to
do, and I hope that you’re going to cover me when I do it,” Nathan said as he
turned and ran out of the cell.
The men immediately started firing at
Nathan. As quickly as she could, Sam turned and looked around the corner. She
fired a shot into the neck of the armored man first. It was the only area of
the man’s body that didn’t seem to be completely covered by the armor. She then
turned her gaze toward Brad. She fired two shots into his chest. After seeing
what was happening, Chloe turned and began firing at Sam. Sam ducked back into
the cell just as the shots met her former location. Nathan had been hit two
times in his chest, and the force of the impact took his breath away. As
quickly as he could, he rolled into a nearby cell where he tried to catch his
breath. Sam stood in her cell and tried to regain her composure. When her
breathing slowed and she felt a calm run through her mind, she acted. She
sprung from her cell and aimed straight at her attacker. Then she fired. She
hit her target directly in the shoulder.
“Drop it!” Sam called out to the
wounded woman lying on the floor.
Chloe complied and dropped her gun.
“Are you okay, Nathan?” Sam screamed
out to him.
“I’m all right, or at least I think
that I am,” Nathan called back to her.
“Okay. Do you have a radio to
communicate with the people outside?” Sam asked Chloe.
“Yes, but why?” Chloe asked.
“I want you to tell them to go on
without you and Brad. Tell them that you have other transportation coming.”
Chloe did as she was told, and soon enough,
all of the trucks and soldiers were gone from outside.
“What are you going to do with me?”
Chloe asked.
“First, we’re going to take you to a
hospital, and then you’re going to answer a lot of questions for us,” Nathan
said while walking out of a cell.
Chapter 5
Earlier that morning, Jason and the
others had finished sorting through all the files, and everyone was exhausted.
“I think that we should get some sleep
and come back this afternoon,” Jason said.
“Okay, but where do we sleep?” Michael
asked.
“You can all stay with me until the
agency works out a place for you to stay.”
They then drove with Jason to his house.
Upon arriving, one simple truth became apparent.
“It’s a little small. It’s only a two
bedroom place, so I don’t know how sleeping arrangements will work, but you can
all decide amongst yourselves where to sleep,” Jason said as he walked into his
bedroom.
Lee immediately flopped down on the
couch.
“Oh, don’t tell
