Chapter 7 Black Magic Crew

I woke up disoriented in the back of a moving car. My head felt like it weighed a ton and the nausea from the chloroform was creeping up. There were four men in the back of the SUV with me and two in front. Paranoid much? The two sitting next to me were a head taller than me and had their guns digging into my sides reminding me not to make any sudden movements.

We sat in silence for the duration of the trip. Half way there, my attention turned from the gun-wielding maniacs next to me, to the massive compound out side the SUV's windows. There were guards stationed at the first gate, the second gate, and at the entrance to each building. I immediately knew that Assassin Team 4 was the Black Magic Crew. They were notorious for having huge compounds all over the world made exclusively of black marble.

We pulled up to a building I assumed was the holding area, judging by the bars on all of the windows. The guy to my right got out of the car and motioned for me to step out also. I decided to see how far these guards were willing to go, and sat there petulantly. The gun-wielding psycho to my left got agitated and put his boot to my left hip and kicked me out.

I entered the building and was instantly accosted and shoved up against a wall. The man that pushed me patted me down and removed my gun from my shoulder holster, the glock from my thigh, and the 9 mm from my back. He missed the switchblade at my ankle and a few other surprises I had hidden away for when this happened.

I was roughly turned around to face the touchy- feely guy from a moment ago, only to find Link. Link is the leader of the Black Magic Crew and used to be one of my favorite guys to hang out with. We can go ahead and declare that friendship dead. He glanced at me while he reached over to a table on his left for the bug wand.

He started at my hair and removed all of the bobby pins and slowly made his way down to my feet. When he reached down to run the wand over my shoes I kneed him very hard in the face. He wasn't overly thrilled with me doing that.

"Bitch." He snarled, and back fisted me across the face. I was none too gently shoved into a holding cell, and left alone.

Alone was fine by me, I had to stick to the plan. I noticed that there were cameras in the back left corner and the front left corner. I found to blind spot and hurried to get suited up before Link came back.

I had purposely kneed Link when he reached my shoes because of the three bugs I had planted thee. I slipped my shoe off and searched for the pouch I had slipped under the padding in it. I attached my microscopic microphone, put my tiny ear piece in, and applied the smallest camera ever made to my shirt. I then slipped my shoe back on and tested connection with Cam. The connection was stable and I sat down in the one metal folding chair in my room to wait.

About three minutes later, Link came storming back in with a band-aid over his nose and a rage in his eyes.

"Rain, how wonderful to see you too. How's the family doing?"

"Long time, no see Link. Stabbed anyone in the back lately?"

"Who licked the red off your candy, Rain? You know this is how this works. There are no friends in the killing game. You should know that since you took care of The Couple yesterday. You were the freaking maid of honor at the wedding. Either way, once we nab Dragon we can kill the family and the Widow can do with you what she wants."

My eyes narrowed fractionally, but he caught the change in my demeanor.

"Oh Rain, did you honestly think that a Crosoft switch would work in this situation? You know what I think? I think that your friend is just leaving you here to die while she get's out of town. We have pictures of her at the airport jumping a plane back to Barcelona. You've been played, Rain. You may as well help us grab Dragon so she can pay for selling you out. You can't deny that feeling of revenge that is creeping up inside of you. Your friend left you here knowing that you were about to die."

"Think about it, Rain. It's not too late to have your revenge."

He smirked then left the room. Cam was patiently waiting for me to let her know that the cost was all clear in the regions that she couldn't see on the camera.

"Alright we go Plan B. Have team one at the north entrance, team two at the holding station, and team three at the main building in exactly two minutes starting now. Comprendes?"

"Got it, good luck Beta 8." I was going to need it.

I took the metal folding chair and placed it under camera one. I pulled my switchblade loose from my ankle and cut the power wire from the camera. I ran over to camera two knowing that my time was limited. I cut the power there and moved the chair back where it was and started to arm myself. I pulled the two handguns out of my pants that the guards had missed.

I had taped them along my pelvic bones and had sewn a pocket onto my underwear for extra ammo. I had the silencers taped under them and I made quick work of attaching them to the guns. I sat on the metal folding chair in the middle of the room with one of my handguns pointed at the door in front of me, and the other at the small of my back.

I heard the footsteps running out side my room and three guards burst into the room and three soft pops were heard soon after. I made my way over the bodies to the door and took out the two cameras that monitored the hallway my room was in.

"Beta 8 in position." That was the cue for the other teams to go. Two more guards ran around the corner to my left and I popped both of them with ease. Cam was shouting commands into my earpiece as I moved slowly toward the exit.

"Team two, move in."

"I managed to make it to the doors easily. As team two opened to doors to pull me through, Link came around the corner. Team two started to usher me outside but bullets from a machine gun move faster than people and I felt four bullets penetrate my right thigh. None of them hit bone though, so I was still able to walk, but just barely. I would be better after they were removed. I was kind of pissed off though. I mean, why was I not informed of shoot Steph day? Team two and I piled into the Hummer and established connection with Cam. Hummer three held Cam and team three. And hummer one held my parents and Team one.

The roller attack was successful. Our entourage pulled out of the compound and onto the connecting road. We had just made it onto the highway when a series of explosions lit up the sky behind us. Assassin Team 4 was eliminated.

We regrouped back at the safe house in Point Pleasant. I sent my distraught parents to bed and Cam and I were sitting down to discuss a course of action when our public line rang.

"Shit." We said simultaneously while staring at the phone. We decided not to answer the first time.

It rang again and Cam and I looked around the house as The Itsy Bitsy Spider song filled our ears.

When the ringing stopped from the second call a rock flew through our window with a note attached to it.

Answer the phone ladies.

The phone rang again, but Cam and I were already through the trap door under the sofa and running through the underground tunnels toward our garage a mile away. We made it to the end of the tunnel before the gunfire started. Cam jumped out of the door and ran to start the car while I locked the door. I jumped in the car and we sped out of the garage onto the highway. I looked in my rearview window to see a spider crawling out of the shadows of the garage. She smirked at us and drew back into the shadows.

W were now in The Widow's web.
