Ted and Leah drew their guns as it pointed to the ceiling, they kept it close to their body while carefully moving to the hallway that led to the staircase. She turned to him for instructions, when she saw the red dot in the middle of his forehead. Instinctively, she pushed him to the ground while a shot rang through.
“Sniper.” She pointed to the chandelier.
Ted moved to his knees as he pushed her behind him against the wall “There must be another way down. Look.” He nodded toward the end of the hall. She nodded and rushed down to check the rooms for another stairwell. He gripped the gun tighter while taking in a deep breath, Ted leaped across the floor while aiming the sniper in the chest. He hit his shoulder instead causing the guy to fall to the ground, cracking his back bone.
Mia flicked a brow with a crooked smile “Nice.”
Robert turned his head up and saw Ted sprinting to the end of the hall “Get him!” he growled at Chris.
“Yes, sir.” He bowed obediently.
“That’s right, be a good little dog.” Reina added causing Chris to pause in his steps.
Devin spoke up for the first time “Does her words bother you?” he asked Chris.
The petite guy looked up with fury as he continued into the control room “Move to the second floor. There are two of them up there.” He instructed. The men held their guns ready as they rushed up the stairs.
Jenna and Ryan finally arrived as they entered the home through the backyard. Sprinting, they reached the torn down door. Stepping inside with their guns drawn, they pointed it in different directions “Clear.”
“Aries and Sagittarius are in.” Ryan checked with Matt.
“Psst!” Doug peeked from behind the counter causing Jenna to jump back.
“Don’t do that!” she hissed.
“Come on.” He waved them over as the three crouched down “Okay, Matt says this place is booby trapped. We’re going to find that hidden room and kill them all before they get a chance to attack.”
“Where do we start?” Jenna asked.
Suddenly a gun was drawn to Doug’s head “How about now?”
The three froze and Jenna widened her eyes at Doug who took a chance as he turned his head and elbowed the guy in the face, pulling his armed hand towards the wall, he forced him to empty the gun before punching him to unconsciousness. Ryan and Jenna sighed with relief “I’m good, I know.” Doug fixed his collar as he moved out of the kitchen.
“I can find one person that would disagree.” Jenna mocked.
The three zig zagged through another hallway until they came upon three doors. Doug nodded for them to take down one each “I'll count to three.”
“Wait…is it after three or on three?” Jenna asked.
“On three.” Doug emphasized “One, two…three!” in unison, they kicked the door down and it was Ryan’s door that had the secret control room.
“Shit!” Ryan quickly ducked when the guns pointed at him. Doug spun around and began shooting before they had a chance to shoot, giving Ryan time to roll out of the way. Jenna lowered herself as she turned her gun inside and shot randomly catching a few guys in the legs.
Robert watched the five of them with careful eyes “More rats?”
“Counting yourself?” Mia quipped.
“You know, I don’t appreciate your mouth. When I get my hands on you, I’ll have to use the tongue remover on you.” Robert sneered at her.
Devin laughed, “My friend, you are craziest bastard with a torture fetish.”
“You should try it sometime. It’s quite a relaxer.” Robert chuckled.
When they ran out of bullets, the three charged into the room and fought with the remaining snipers that were not down. Within minutes, they had subdued the room. It looked like a long closet with weapons on the tables and holes on the walls. Jenna peeked through one “Hey, we can see the living room.” She exclaimed.
“That means there’s one more room on the other side.” Doug guessed.
“Well let’s go, our audience awaits.” Ryan said brightly before stealing a couple of guns.
Leah eventually found another trap door with a pole in the center, she checked the room with her small flashlight and noticed the pole traveled down to the basement “Leah, move!!!” Ted’s warning caused her to turn and her shoulder quickly hit a flying bullet from Chris. Ted pounced on him from behind while he watched Leah tipping over the edge, her arms flaring as she fell through the hole.
“Too bad.” Chris mocked as he wrestled with Ted. He had dropped his gun while Chris still had his. The gun inched slowly closer to Ted, who used all his might to move it a completed 90 degree turn.
“Too bad for you…” Ted replied as he pulled the trigger causing the bullet to fly into Chris’s shoulder. He groaned in pain while gathering the last bit of strength to push Ted off as he rushed away towards the stairs. Ted didn’t chase him, instead his concern came for Leah. He ran towards the room and slid down the pole, there was barely any light but he was careful not to step on her “Leah! Leah!” he felt his foot stepping on something soft, it was her leg as he moved aside and used his flashlight, the room was some sort of torture cell.
“Oww…” Leah groaned.
“Leah!” Ted smiled, glad to hear her voice “Are you okay?”
She shook her head “No…I fell on something.” She pointed weakly with her uninjured arm.
“It’s a pillow?” Ted said as he pulled it out from under her back “It’s your lucky day.” He chuckled while helping her up “Let me see that wound.”
“It didn’t hit me.” Leah turned her head to show him “It hit the vest. The only part with the least cushion.” She groaned in pain.
“Better than bleeding.” Ted laughed as he helped her up “Come on.”
“Matt, we got one room down, we’re coming to the other room. You guys are safe to move on the left side.” Doug instructed.
Matt smiled slowly as he nodded his group to move “For a couple rats, its sure hard for you to get rid of.”
Robert eyed them carefully and wondered why they were moving to his right “I’m getting bored, let’s turn this up another notch.” He walked over and released the red button which dropped Erin and Riley with a thump.
Mia took a step forward “What are you doing?”
He reached for Riley’s arm “This is my son. I can do whatever I want with him.” He shook him roughly. He released him causing him to stagger to the ground, his eyes dangerous as he walked over to Erin “And you…” pulling out a gun, he yanked her to her feet and pressed the barrel against her temple “Goodbye honey, it’s been fun.”
Pulling back the trigger, he froze in his place when he too was looking down a gun barrel “Not so fast.” Devin snickered “I told you before Robert, she’s MY prisoner.”
“You would turn on me for a woman?” he spat in disgust.
“I never turned. I only pretended.” He laughed “You naďve little son of a bitch, you think I would team up with you? You'd finish me off when you're done using me.”
"You know me well." Robert snorted.
Matt and the others exchanged glances “What the hell…” Mia began.
“What about the plan? To take over P.R.A.?” Robert asked.
Devin shook his head “Take over? It’s already mine…let her go.”
“Yeah!!” Mia exclaimed.
Mark knew it was his only chance as he quickly grabbed Reina by the neck and stuck a gun to her head “Don’t move!”
“Mark, what the hell are you doing?” Matt widened his eyes in shock.
Reina winced in pain but she made no sudden movements as she allowed him to drag her closer to Robert Kwok. Erin broke away from Robert’s grasped as she sidestepped towards Riley “He’s Robert’s other son.”
“You…” Darren shook his head in disbelief “You are the corruption.”
“Surprise, surprise.” He snickered “Drop the gun.” He pointed at Devin, who made no move to drop it “I said drop it!!”
Devin slowly tossed the gun to the side as she stepped back slowly with surrendering hands “You’re not getting away. You’re surrounded.”
“I know. But this house is covered in explosives, you think you can get out easily? It will blow up with one push of a button.” He nodded to Robert “Right dad?”
Robert smiled proudly “Finally, you have redeemed yourself.”
“You forgive me?” he asked with eager eyes.
He nodded slowly “Yes.”
Reina took her chance when he loosened his grip, she whipped her body to the side while giving him a good punch in the stomach. She knocked the gun from his hand “Get down!!” she motioned for the group as gunshots began to fire from the opposite walls.
Erin and Riley were released from the chains as they joined them behind the couch “What now?” she asked.
“That room.” Devin pointed, “Has an escape exit. If we can get there, we’re free.”
“Why are you helping us?” Mia asked with curiosity.
Erin turned to her friend “Because he’s Joe’s half brother.”
They looked shocked while Devin smiled “So the secret’s out.”
“Guys, there’s no time for small talk.” Matt nodded while the bullets continued to fly “Come on, the people with guns, cover those that don’t have one.”
Doug and Ryan broke down the second control room with a kick as they began firing without notice. Jenna was about to help when she saw Chris sprinting towards the back. She quickly followed “Going somewhere?” she caught up to him.
He raised his hand in a defense position “Please, don’t shoot…I don’t have a gun.”
“Neither do I.” Jenna replied. Chris’s sly grin appeared as he pulled out a gun from his back jeans. Before he had a chance to fire at her, a shot rang out and hit him in the stomach. He dropped the gun and fell to his knees a hand cover his wound while the blood continued to drain out “Just kidding.” Jenna snickered.
Doug and Ryan chased after her to make sure she was alright. Chris fell to the ground as he reached for his fallen gun, Doug raised his gun and shot him on the arm “That’s for Jessie.”
Ryan pointed a gun to his leg and shot him “That’s for Shelly.”
“This is for Joe.” Jenna aimed at his heart and let the shot kill him.
The three stood there with a light heart, revenge was sweet. Jenna and Ryan smiled at each other as they turned to leave when a shot rang out again, startling the two. Doug smiled “Ooops.”
Ryan sighed, “Scared the shit out of me.”
“Is that what that smell is?” Jenna asked plugging her nose.
“Ha ha…” he pushed her head playfully as they walked around to the front of the house to join their last teammate.
