The battle
Cars were coming and I had no idea what to do, it wasn't my first time losing my cool, that moment was serious and I was supposed to guide team 26. I ordered them to stay hidden until we find out who were coming to us.
I was hiding in a vacant and ruined room with two members and were looking outside a window. There were ten cars with men in black. They weren't from our organization; I didn't know them nor other members. Edward Myra's wasn't among them. Where the hell was he? We needed to meet him and person and get rid of his eagerness for other businesses, but where was he?
I couldn't reach Jeremy and I needed to do something. Those men gathered in one of the ruined ruins and had some of them guarding them. I followed them secretly to find out who they were. Those people who stayed outside were real pain, to get near them I had to face them. One suspicious thing and they would report. I tried to look around and find even an air way to reach them. The building in which they were, was connected to another building through an air way which wasn't big spacious enough but I could move in if I tried my best.
I left my extra clothes and took the handgun I had. My face was still covered with mask, going through the air way which had no light in was not easy but I was under strict order of Jeremy not to reveal my face. I had no other choice so I went in with my mask on, even though seeing was hard. It was really cramped and it was my first time going through such thing. When I first crawled in, I felt out of breath and it felt like I would get killed there any moment. It was not a phobia but I wasn't fond of narrow places. I had to overcome my fear and move forward because Jeremy was counting on me. I had to succeed. As I was crawling I heard some voices and moved towards them, and finally found the mentioned men.
-So what's your plan?
-He said he'd come. So we have to wait.
-Waiting here more than this is dangerous. What if the cops arrive?
-They won't come; he has made them busy with another thing.
-Do you really think he's gonna change his mind about supporting them?
-Yes, he's getting the money and giving us the wanted goods.
I didn't know what product or goods they were talking about but Jeremy had once told me that Edward Myra was not just getting bribe from us and there was some rising company which was trying to compete with us. And of course they were wiped out but to think that they were the reason behind not giving back our goods, someone was ratting from inside for sure. Since I could only crawl, I couldn't tell team 26 about what I had found. I tried to get closer and it made a large sound and caught those men's attention.
-Did you hear it?
-Is someone here beside us?
-No, they can't be. We checked a lot and if there were any one coming we would be reported. This place is old and ruined so hearing a sound or two doesn't matter.
They all were suspicious except for him. He was denying everything they were suspicious of. He seemed younger than others. He seemed different than others, Uh! That industry was so disgusting. If I get to live another life, I will never choose what I chose in the first place. If only I had known in the beginning what I was sinking my hand in, if only….
They were our enemy and I had to be careful but luck wasn't on my side that day. The air way got shattered to pieces and I fell on the ground right between them all.
They stood up as fast as possible and were pointing their guns at me. I, who fell from the ceiling, was in pain. I had broken my left arm.
-Who do you work for?
I stood up slowly, their eyes were fixated on me and wanted to kill me for sure. Everyone was weaponized and so was I. I had no chance of shooting them, and the young man kept staring at me.
-He's that bastard's men.
He got ready to shoot me then the young man stopped him and said: Don't you think; she'd become useful against him.
-You got a point but we don't need him, he'd be done for today. There's no need of any hostages.
-You were nearly dead in the last battle and you refuse to get a hostage on your side. No wonder your people died.
He got angry and aimed at the young man then said: Shut that mouth of yours.
As they were disputing I tried to steal glimpse of my back, there were two men behind, and on my both sides people were standing, they seemed to get orders from those two who were fighting, and that meant they wouldn't shoot me unless they got an order. I had nothing else on me except for the bullets I could shoot. I had to get out and call my assistants. The ground was covered with clod. I used their dispute and shoot as quickly as possible on the ground to cover myself in dust and I got away. They started to shoot in every direction to hit me, as I was getting away, another number of cars appeared and one of them went through the building and nearly hit me. Men started to come out and they all started to shoot. I tried to get up but the car had hit my foot. A man came out of one of the cars and came running to me. His face was covered so I didn't know who he was. I couldn't get myself out of his way, so I tried to shoot him but he dodged them all and I was left with no bullets. He was stilling coming towards me.
A bomb was thrown in front me and when it exploded, someone pulled me away. He took me away to a room that was away from the battle field. He finally let go of me and I could see his face, he was the young man who kept staring at me and had suggested to take me as hostage. I couldn't fight, my left arm was broken and my foot was broken, too. My gun had no other bullet, no knife, no other way of defending me and he kept getting near me.
-Who are you? Are you with cops?
I didn't respond him; I couldn't do that or he would get to know I was a girl not a man. Jeremy had once told me not to reveal my gender, if by any chance my opponent was a man and he was stronger than me, he would do unforgiving things to me and I could never stop brute force upon myself, even if I had gotten strong, I had to be wary of powerful and filthy men.
-I want to help you, don't move. You were hit from the explosion.
I looked at myself he was right, when the bomb had exploded, it had made something hit my stomach and I hadn't realized it. He was the one who threw the bomb, I couldn't trust him, even if he claimed to be helping me he was still the enemy. I was bleeding, my foot and arm were broken, what an incredible state I was in. I couldn't move myself. I wanted to see Jeremy's face one more time before getting killed by the hands of that man. If Jeremy were there he would definitely scold me for not going with the team or getting myself caught.
He tried to take out my mask but I blocked him with my right hand.
-Stop resisting, I need to confirm something.
I blocked him even I had no strength and he didn't give up. He held my hand with force. It wasn't fair, he was fine and I was not fine. He could protect himself with all his body but I only had a hand to protect and he was holding it. If only Jeremy was there to help me.
I had used up all my strength to stop him, there was nothing left in me to stay awake. I passed out. What was happening in those moments which my eyes were closed, I didn't know what happened. Was I killed? Was he misusing my body? What the hell was happening to me? If only Jeremy was there to help my body. Had he or any member of team 26 come? What exactly was happening?
