Please R&R! I want to hear from you! Hope you enjoy my newest fan fiction! :D
Hal and Ben were taking Matt on his first official mission. It was very simple; they were going on a food run. They had to restock the supplies back at the 2nd Mass camp.
"So, Matt. You excited?" Ben asked.
"You kidding me? Heck, yeah I am! I hated being cooped up at that camp," the youngest Mason said.
Hal chuckled. "I know, right! Being there made me feel like a caged animal."
"You're not helping the case," Ben said.
He shrugged his shoulders. "Sorry. Just speaking the truth."
The middle Mason rolled his eyes and bent down to Matt's height. "Ignore him. He's pretty much a five year old trapped in a teenager's body," he said.
"Wow. You're nice," Hal said sarcastically.
The two boys stared at each other for a moment, and then broke out into laughter.
"So, is this what missions are like for you two? You insult each other?" Matt asked.
The older brothers looked at each other, looked back at their younger sibling, nodded their heads, and said in unison, "Yeah. Pretty much."
"Great. I have to spend a whole mission with two immature geeks who just keep on annoying each other, and me. Well, won't this be fun."
"Whoa. Someone's got some attitude," Hal said as a grin spread across his lips.
"We're actually very fun guys, turd face," Ben piped up.
"Oh really. I doubt it, suck fish," Matt retorted. It was an ongoing thing between them. They'd pick two words, and turn them into a hopefully insulting name.
"Okay guys. Mission time," Hal told them.
"Alright. So if—"Ben started to say but was soon interrupted by a rustle in the bushes. Immediately, both Hal and Ben had their guns up.
"Matt, go hide behind that old car," Hal ordered.
"But—" Matt started to protest.
"No buts. Go. Now."
"Fine." Once Matt was a safe distance away, the two remaining brothers advanced towards the origin of the noise.
"On three, we go in," Hal said as he looked at his brother. "One, two—" he was cut off because five men emerged from the woods next to the road—and each of them was in possession of a gun.
"Put down your guns!" The front man yelled.
"Okay. Okay," Ben said as he slowly placed his weapon on the ground. "We don't want any—" suddenly he advanced towards the five men and punched the man on the left, nearest to him. And Hal charged at the guy on the right. They moved on to the next two guys, and surprised them.
They were just about to take on the last man—the one who spoke first—when he fired a bullet into Ben's right leg.
"Ahhh!" Ben screamed as he fell to the ground clutching his thigh.
"Ben!" Hal said as he started to run towards his little brother, but stopped when the man pointed his gun at the oldest Mason boy's head. By now, the other four men who were taken out first, were back on their feet and also had their guns trained on the teenager.
"Now, you two can either come with us compliantly, or we can shoot the kid again."
"No! Okay. We'll go. But at least let me help him. He can't walk," Hal pleaded.
"Fine. Get him up."
Hal rushed over to Ben. "You're gonna be fine. We'll get out of this. Come on," he said as he heaved his brother up and slung his arm across his shoulder to steady him as he limped into the woods.
Slowly, they descended deeper into the forest. Three men in front of the brothers, and two in back of them.
They didn't know why these men wanted them, but they did know that they had to find a way to escape. And fast.
So guys, how was that? Please post reviews for me. If you have any tips or criticism or improvements, please let me know! :)
