Brad ducked down as he entered the room with caution, his awareness level was at its peak. He aimed his gun at one of the guards “Get ready team, when I say go…” he shot at the one of the terrorist’s leg “GO!” with that the five of them dived into the open room on both sides with gunshots fired in ever corner. The people cried in fear but it was easy to separate the victims from the terrorists.
Erin was struggling with a guy that got a hold of her gun, her only chance was to throw it away to keep the guy from using it against her. The two battled out by hand with no weapons and she was quicker than he. The late night training sessions worked after all. When she defeated the guy, she turned to see her gun being picked up by a child, he had somehow got a hold of it. Erin gave a quick dive when he was playing with the trigger, she grabbed the gun from his hand “Don’t play with this, sweetie, it’s dangerous.” She smiled at the adoring child.
“Mommy…” he pointed to one of the victim group that was being pushed into a corner by the terrorists.
Erin picked him up with ease “I’ll take you back.”
Mia too was in the same situation as Erin, her gun was knocked out of her hand and she was wrestling with the guy. She gave his stomach a hard punch, but instead her knuckles burned in pain, the guy was obviously fit “What do you eat for breakfast, nails?!” she cried sarcastically.
“I eat humans for breakfast.” The guy laughed ferociously as he got the upper hand and wrestled until he pinned her down. Mia cried in pain when her head hit the floor and it made her attacker laugh louder.
When he used one hand to pin her hands above her head and used the other hand to reach for her gun, Mia took her chance as she kicked him hard between his legs. The man whimpered a cry as he rolled over and grabbed his precious jewel in pain. Mia grabbed her gun as she stood towering over the balled up man “Well, I had half a grapefruit and a toast for breakfast! Beat that!”
“Pisces, watch out!!” but it was too late, Brad’s warning did not catch her in time when a guy grabbed her from behind, his thick arm wrapped around her neck like a snake on it’s prey.
Brad pointed his gun at Mia’s attacker “Let her go.” He warned.
The guy only laughed at his weak attempt “I’m not stupid.” He growled as he picked up his walkie talkie and asked “Are we close to China waters?” The guy frowned when he didn’t get a response “Are you there?!”
“Looking for him?” Andrew asked as he pulled the guy he was supporting off his shoulder and threw him on the ground lifelessly.
“You killed him!!” the guy gripped tighter around Mia’s neck and she let out a whelp “Shut up!!” he shook her violently “Who’s driving the boat?”
Brad inched closer “That should be the least of your problems.” He saw Andrew pulling out his gun as he moved closer to Brad “Who is driving the boat?”
“Gemini.” Andrew replied “How are we going to get her free?” he whispered.
Brad’s eyes left the last terrorist to look around, he found Erin close behind Mia. He nodded at her to the left side of Mia’s attacker. She nodded in reply “What do you want?” he asked the guy.
“I want to be let free, if not, I’ll shoot her brains out!” he cried angrily “Get me a boat.”
“We’re not the police, we can’t negotiate with you.” Andrew snickered.
The guy widened his eyes “Well, who sent you if you don’t work for the police.”
Brad smiled when they had the perfect chance, the guy’s grip had loosened “We’re better than the police, we’re P.R.A.” when the guy ruffled his brows in confusion, Brad quickly added “Ever been beaten by a girl?”
“What?” the guy was even more confused but it didn’t take long for him to understand when Erin came from behind and punched him clear across the left side of his face, the guy was knocked off balance and Andrew took his chance to save Mia as he pulled her into his arms and away while Erin easily defeated the man twice her size. When he fell with a thump, she stood over him with a victorious smile.
“There’s a first for everything.” Brad said before putting away his gun and tying the guy’s hands up with their own metal wires “Good job team.” He smiled proudly.
Erin nodded at Mia and Andrew. When she felt a tiny hand pulling on her leg, she turned and found the boy she saved earlier looking up at her “What is it?” she asked while bending down to his size.
“Mommy….” He pointed to a woman who had been shot and was bleeding to death.
“Oh crap…” she whispered. She turned to Brad “We need help!!”
Brad turned to her and suddenly his eyes widened fearfully and he reacted quickly with his gun drawn out “Get down!!” he pointed it directly at the boy and Erin’s reaction was to save him as she grabbed him and covered his body on the way down to the floor. She had learned to trust Brad’s aim. She heard a loud gunshot and it gave her a flashback at the last mission she had failed. She remembered Brad saving her life and him pulling her away from the kid that was bleeding to death.
Erin’s eyes were closed and her breathing quickened. When she opened her eyes, she saw the kid was safe in her arms. She smiled softly “You okay?” she asked and the kid nodded, shivering with fear. She pulled him up and turned to see Brad towering over a terrorist that was hiding between the victims. The guy was already dead but he was shaking still pointing the gun at the guy. All the victims cowered down in fear seeing how disturbing it looked.
“Leo…” Erin too saw his scared expression. She walked over and placed one hand on his shoulder and one hand on his hands that was gripping on the gun “It’s okay. He’s dead.” She said soothingly.
Mia and Andrew exchanged glances, usually Brad was more cool and collected than that. They stood there motionless, not knowing what to say. Brad slowly let the grip go and looked down at Erin with a dazed expression “He was aiming for you.” He whispered.
Erin sighed when she understood why he was frozen, he was afraid she was going to die “I’m okay now. Anyways, we have bulletproof vests.” She pointed out.
Brad nodded slowly as he came back to reality. Suddenly he turned to the people “The boat is returning to Hong Kong harbor in about an hour, everyone stay calm while the police take a report from each of you.”
“Aren’t you the police?” a man dared to ask.
Brad only smiled as he turned to his group “Let’s get Gemini and get out of here.”
Erin turned in time to see the kid hovering over his mother’s bleeding body and her heart ached as she lingered behind. Brad noticed as he walked over to her and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder “He’s an orphan now.” She spoke softly and sadly.
He understood why she was so emotional with the kid, one because she was an orphan herself and two, he did not die unlike the last mission where she was to save the kid “He’ll be taken care of.” Brad moved his hand around her shoulder and led her away.
They met up with Reina at the front of the boat “What now?” she asked when she put the boat in automatic steering. We’re not far from the harbor.”
Brad could already see the helicopters and police cars lights flashing ready to take over. They were never to expose themselves to the police “Capricorn, we are approximately 45 minutes from the harbor, how do we get off the ship?”
“The plane will return with a ladder dangling, climb up and he will take you back to the airport where you came from.” Dennis’s voice spoke through loud and clear.
“What did he say?” Mia asked anxiously.
Brad smiled at the girl “You don’t want to know.”
Mia face fell “Great!”
He laughed as his head turned up to the sky “Right on time.” The other four followed his gaze and noticed the same plane they had jumped off not a few hours ago “Let’s go. Who’s first?” the group turned to Mia.
“Yeah…let me go first.” she said sarcastically as she prepared to grab onto the ladder “But I’m warning you guys, if I fall, I’m taking you ALL with me.” Her eyes widened threateningly but it didn’t bother anyone as they laughed at her with shaking heads.
She grabbed on and climbed up one step at a time “Hurry up!!” Reina cried when she barely finished two steps.
“Don’t rush me!! I’m trying not to look down!” Mia cried in return.
Erin started after Reina, then Andrew and finally Brad came following after. But due to Mia’s slow nature, they were dragging behind their time “Oh my gosh, can you go any slower!!” Reina teased her friend.
Mia rolled her eyes “Stop it!!” she forgot about not looking down as she turned her head downwards to look at Reina “Oh my God, I looked…I looked down…” her head snapped up and she gripped onto the rope for dear life. “Help!!!!” Her voice screeched in an ear popping high pitch scream “I can’t move…” she muttered under her breath.
Brad shook his head “Mia, just keep going, you’re doing fine. Look up, see? You’re almost there!!”
This time Mia looked up and she saw she was about 6 steps from the plane, she nodded to herself “Okay…I can do this…I know I can…I can…come on Mia!” she psyched herself out. Before she knew it, she was crawling inside the safety of the plane.
Reina crawled up and she found Mia hugging the windows sighing happily “You know that’s an escape door too.”
Mia jumped back as if the door was burning hot, she saw that Reina was laughing and knew that her friend was joking with her “You’re evil. I can push you out right now.” Reina smiled when Mia gave her a helping hand.
Then together the girls helped Erin up “Thanks girls.” She smiled as she returned to her seat and put on the seat belt. Mia and Reina too did the same.
Andrew was at the edge when he was out of breath, he was struggling with the last few steps “Give me a hand!” he cried with one hand reaching for the girls. The three exchanged glances and then began to applaud their hands. Andrew snarled at them but still managed to crawl into the plane “A woman’s heart is the most evil thing of all.”
“You said to give you a hand.” Mia said innocently “What more could you ask for?”
“Your just mad because I was teasing you on your fear of heights.” Andrew retorted.
Erin smiled at Mia, who was grinning evilly “Payback’s a bitch.” The girls broke up in laughter.
Brad was close enough to catch the last line “Who’s a bitch?” he crawled up with ease and quickly retrieved the ladder then closing the door behind them.
“Girls…ALL girls…” Andrew narrowed his eyes playfully at the girls.
“I could have told you that.” Brad snickered. He laughed when the girls eyes snapped over to him.
Andrew widened his eyes “He said it, I didn’t.”
