Business of Misery
"1… 2… 3, GO!"
About two-dozen men charged a building they suspected of being the base of Hitler. They were aiming to infiltrate his head quarters, even though they knew their numbers were low against him. They were hoping to at least just hold him hostage and wait till some more rebels came.
"Shikamaru, we knocked out of the guards surrounding the building before they could call reinforcements on their-"
"No. This seems just too easy. Something's not right." Shikamaru, the head of the group tall brunette haired tied in a ponytail and dark brown chocolate eyes, looked at the sky deep into thought.
"Sir?" The man before looked confused. "I don't know what you're talking about. We had an easy victory and I guess we are just that good. Let's just hurry up and finish up here and move inside the building."
"I don't think so. First off, don't underestimate the enemy, two, do you think out of all of the groups that have tried to infiltrate the area, only we are the ones to succeed? And with such an easy win."
"Sir, you are just thinking too much on thi-"
The man wasn't able to finish his sentence for a shot was heard above the roofs before them. The shot hit right through the chest. Shikamaru stood frozen for a second at the sight before him.
"Crap, everyone! Evacuate now!" Shikamaru yelled to his men. The all looked at their fallen comrade and began running. Shikamaru however stayed put, making sure all of the other men got out alive. Three more shots were heard, two more men fall before him, breathless. The other one barely missed the other man. Shikamaru ran toward him.
"Ju-Just leave me sir. I-I will only slow you down… ARGH!" Shikamaru inspected the man's leg wound. It was real deep, but that wouldn't stop him.
"You're nuts if you think I am leaving one of my men behind. Now get atop of my back and we will make through this. When we reach the gates you will crawl under first." Shikamaru rushed his words for the Nazi's were coming toward him, 30 at the most.
The man refused at first, but for only a brief second and climbed a top of Shikamaru's back. Shikamaru got use to the extra weight right quick, and began running toward the gates, their only escape. He saw ahead his other men had already crawled underneath it. Just a few more feet to go before he and his comrade would make it.
"Come on Shikamaru! You can make it!!" His men were yelling. Shikamaru pulled to a stop to let the man down, gently, and he helped him through the fence. The others hurriedly pulled him through while another pulled him a top of his back. Shikamaru began to crawl down himself when one of his men was shot yet again, and the other's fled in fear. He turned around to find 10 of the previous guards above him.
"How trouble-some." He sighed. The guards smirked and pulled his legs, causing the half of his body on the other side to come out, and face the men.
"You're in a lot of deep shit you little twerp." One man laughed.
"What does he look, 19 er, 20?" Another grinned.
"Ha, they getting desperate aren't they? Letting little kids led the rebels." The first one once again spoke. All the others laughed.
"I am 17 if you must know." Shikamaru said lazily.
The guards looked at him in disbelief. "A 17 year old led a group of 24 men, and took down our guards? Ha! You're pretty much a smart ass huh? Don't test us boy."
"Me? Test you? Why, I am only telling the truth." Shikamaru now smirked. Right now, his pride was bellowing his fear.
"Heh, watch your tongue boy." The guard got out his gun and hit Shikamaru upside the head with it, causing him to black out and leave the surrounding world about him.
