"STEVIEEEEEEEE!" Zander yelled into the roof of the laser tag arena, they were on the same team but seemed to be split up in the commotion of it all. "This is Thunder to Lightning. Come in Lightning, over," He spoke into the walkie talkie.
"This is Lightning, over," Stevie said right after she hit two people in the shoulder getting 1000 points for Team Storm.
"Lightning, state your current location, over."
"I'm in the safe zone, over."
"Be right there, over." Stevie put the walkie talkie back in her pocket and made her way to the safety spot. The one with the blue light was theirs, Team Storm. The one with the green light belonged to Kevin and Nelson they were Team Furious Drummers. The way they chose their name was Nelson chose the first word and Kevin chose the second; Nelson thought that Kevin would choose the word 'pigeons' and was disappointed when he didn't. The safe zone with the red light belonged to Molly and Grace, the very creative name they chose was Team Perf.
Stevie was across from the Red Zone. That means that she still has to cross the entire arena or try to shoot the light without backup. They can win if they go inside the safe zone of the opposing players' team and shoot the light. If she does that then she gets 10,000 points and The Perfs would be unable to shoot for 5 minutes. But since it's a safe zone, Stevie can't shoot them. She decided to go for it. She crept up with her finger on the trigger, positioning herself just like a real SWAT member would. Luckily for her, no one was guarding the spot. She wasted no time in shooting it down. A very cliché shut down sounded and the red light turned off. Stevie blew imaginary smoke away from the tip of the gun and laughed.
Zander was getting nervous when Stevie took so long to get to their safe zone, but he knew not to communicate with her via the walkie talkie so he wouldn't give away her position. When she finally made it he yelled, "What took so long?"
"I was at the red zone; it's on the opposite side of the auditorium."
"But it should've taken that long."
"Yeah but I hit down the light and gained us 10,000 points!"
"Stevie you are amazing!" He hugged her quickly.
"So would you rather stay here and guard or would you prefer to attack the Furious Drummers?" Stevie asked laughing at the silly name.
"What if I put my walkie talkie in the center of our safe zone and I one of us would always say, 'I see you' so that we can both leave but still have protection?"
"Hmm… It could work. Do you know how many points they have?" Stevie was skeptical about the plan.
"Well I have shot them down so many times."
"I shot them twice on the way over."
"So we have 25,000 points at least!" Zander and Stevie just thought for a little while before he suggested another plan, "What if we wait until Molly and Grace are back in play and if they come here we can shoot them down together and if they get the others then we win."
"Or you stay here and I'll go."
"Fine," Stevie gave Zander a fist bump and then left.
Right after she was gone, Zander heard the click-clacking of heels. Molly's white headband glowed under the blacklight; he shot her down in the 500 point mark. He turned around and shot Grace, her hair was light enough to glow as well.
"HA HA! Come back in 2 minutes girlies then try to beat me! You can't escape THE THUNDER!" He yelled then kissed his biceps. The whole room went black, then the regular lights came back on. The light above the safe zone was still blue and Zander cheered again, "Wooo! Team Storm FOR THE WIN!"
"What-ever I didn't even want to do this! I only did it for Grace." Molly tried to act like she didn't care but it was easy to see she hated the defeat.
"Sorry, Molly, I didn't mean to rain on your parade but I must be off." He sarcastically saluted them and went off to find Stevie.
I'm gonna leave it there but I'll update soon! Please review! I love getting them and I PROMISE to mention all my reviewers in the next chapter.
