I have to blame this site again for the fake updates and giving me crap dates on when I uploaded a chapter. I also apologize like I always do only this time I have a good reason, my house has become unsafe to live in, my dad attacked my brother and kicked him out then my mom closed all access to his savings and checking account. The only money he has is his credit card, my mother also gave me three weeks in September to find a job or I was also going to get kicked out which I did manage to find a job at a clothing store. I work 5 days a week and spend the other time doing my classes that have gotten worse. I was so scared when my dad and my brother got into I went to my work and cried my eyes out to my new managers because if he had turned that anger to me, it would have been like I was in high school all over again with my mother ignoring what he was doing to us. My brother is doing ok, but our bills have gone up so much this year that I want to drop my classes and just save to move out of this place. I lost internet access today and spent hours trying to get it back up so I could get caught up with my classes.
I know that its been way too long and I lost lots of people, but I just can't focus on my stories when I'm so scared of becoming homeless, I have lots of homeless shelters written down just in case. I'd like to thank everyone who is still taking the time to read my story, MusicalGamingKunoichi, Dragon of Ice and Light for adding my stories to their alerts months ago. I also have the next chapter written up because I was skipping around when I got writers block, so next week I will upload the chapter I already have written up to try and make up for the lack of. Just to remind everyone, I can not write sex scenes, it makes me extremely uncomfortable and I can't tell you guys why. I can read them sometimes, but writing them makes me ashamed of myself. If anyone wants to write them for this story, go for it, or just go read another story in between and pretend they are in this story. So sorry once again to anyone who is still reading this.
Chapter 7
"Damn it Ray nobody's got time for you to try and get laid! God…you say Archer is bad." I say in anger at the screen as I turn back to Archer and see him walk up to the group of guys with his gun behind his back.
"Archer, wait for backup before you go in shooting up the place!" I say into my wokie-tokie hoping he would listen to me as I watched him come closer the group of men who turned all of their attention onto him.
I saw Lana start to move behind the group of people while they focus on Archer and saw Ray still being a horny asshole who was still hitting on the bus boy who was clearly not interested in him.
"God I hate this team." I say to myself as I cross my fingers and hope to Hell that this was not going to turn out in a bloody battle between Americans and the Swiss. "Ray!" I shout into the wokie-tokie as soon as the group of men noticed Archers gun and reached for their own gun in their long coats.
"What!" Ray yells back into the wokie-tokie as the front man pulls out his gun and tries to shoot Archer who rolls to the side as the room breaks out in screaming and people running around the lobby in a panic.
"God damnit Archer!" All three of us yell as I jump from my chair, knocking it over as I load my hand held, semi-automatic while Lana rolls behind a desk and Ray runs from the bus boy down to the lobby.
I bust through the door as gun shots echo through the giant hotel covering the frantic screams of all the people in the lobby and lower levels of the hotel. I slide around the corner to the lobby and push past people who were running for the emergency exit as I look at the group of men scattered around the room, hiding behind random desks and furniture as I looked for both Archer and Lana.
I couldn't find either of them in the rain of bullets that were going everywhere from both sides and people still running around like chickens with their heads cut off so ran over to a large table and flipped it on its side.
I kneel behind it to get some protection from the random bullets going by and peak my head over to try and find Archer before I start to shoot at a random guy who was across from me and behind another large table.
I couldn't tell if I was actually hitting anything because of all the dust and wood being flung into the air as the wall and tables break down into a pile of nothing."Archer!" I try to yell over the commotion, but I doubt he could really hear him with the other team shouting in some language I couldn't pick up and the fire alarm suddenly going off throughout the hotel, making the sprinklers come on and drench all of us in water.
I glance over the table again and look up at a flat screen TV that was hanging on the wall next to the guy across from me. I lift my hand up to feel the water coming from the ceiling before I shrug my shoulders and shoot down the TV onto the guy, electrocuting him from the water puddle that was under him and the TV still plugged into the wall.
"Suck it asshole!" I yell over to him before covering my head from the sudden rain of bullets that were now focused on me for killing one of their guys. "Fuck!" I yell out loud as I try to look for another place to hide as my table was starting to shrink in size causing the bullets to get close to me till I look over at the bar and make a run for it.
I slide across the floor and roll under the counter to try and catch my breath till I look over at the other side and see Archer hiding behind a wall. He looks up at me as I reload my gun and shoots around his corner before sliding over to the bad and slams against me as the glasses and bottles start to break above us.
He covers the both of us with his arms as the glass falls onto our heads while more people start to die from the other side of the bar. I lift my head as I look up at him who was panting as hard as I was before we glance over the counter to try and find Lana and Ray who were huddled together behind another wall.
"Do you have a plan?" I yell to Archer as I lean in close to him so he could actually hear me as he leans close to my face. "No, do you?" he yells back to me as I shake my head as I start to freak out about everything, I normally can hold my shit together if I am higher up with my sniper so I'm not in the middle of the fire fight.
Being down here on the ground is a whole different ball game that I was not use to nor did I have the self control to not just open fire on everyone just to end the rain of bullets. I lean my head back while I close my eyes to try and clear my head so I can focus on the problem in front us till I hear Archer moving shit around and making lots of noise next to me.
I look over at him as he gathers the bottles of alcohol that were not broken and starts stuffing them with the wash cloths from the cabinets. This really was about to be a literal fire fight if he starts throwing cocktails at people, I look around the counter for a lighter as he keeps stuffing the bottles.
I grab a couple of lighters from the counter and press them against his chest and watch him lift a bottle and light the cloth on fire. Archer looks over at me as if he was waiting for an approval to throw it even though it was already lit and about to go off.
I nod my head to him and duck my head as he tosses it over the bar into a random area of the lobby, he covers me again with his body as the explosion goes off and spreads the fire to a couple of men that were huddled together.
Even though the sprinklers were still on, it would be awhile till they could put out the liquid fire that was across from us. When we hear the men start to scream we stand up and start to shoot the ones that were trying to put themselves out or run outside to roll in the snow.
We fall back under the counter as I toss my empty gun away as he throws his at the mirror in front of us breaking it into more pieces. I lift one of the bottles and wait for him to light it with the lighter before I lean up against the bar and toss the cocktail in a different area of the lobby.
I hear more men scream in pain as the sprinklers finally turn off as the lobby goes silent from both the screaming and the bullets. I look over at Archer who shrugs his shoulders before he leans up and peaks over the counter to see the chaos die down.
I place my hand on his shoulder and push myself up to see the damage for myself; I look around the lobby that was soaked with water, burned in half the room, and bullet holes in everything. Archer stands up next to me as Lana and Ray come out from their hiding area and walks over to the bar.
Everybody looked dead or burnt to a crisp as we both walk from around the bar as the police come busting into the door with their guns rose at as. I glance over at them before rolling my eyes as I sit down at the bar with my hand over my face and lay my head on the counter.
They start to yell things in Swedish as I just wave my hand, exhausted from the fight and not in the mood to deal with cops at the moment, I've always hated cops my entire life because they were the most corrupt and hypocrite people on this planet that never did their jobs and killed more innocent people than anyone else.
Everyone else raises their hands in the air and Archer starts to nudge me to do the same till Malory and the Ambassador walks into the lobby with their hands up. More Swedish is shouted in the room as I just shrug to myself, ready for a hot shower and a long night of sleep that I probably wouldn't get anyway.
After a few minutes of arguing, I lift my head and see the Ambassador pushing the police away as the three of them drop their hands to their sides and look at each other. Archer looks down at me and grabs my arm to pull me off of the seat as we look over at Malory before walking out of the lobby back to our rooms.
The lobby of the hotel was completely destroyed before of the fight, Malory didn't bother to argue about getting a reward after she saw all the damage and bodies. She just gathered all of our stuff and pushed us to leave the hotel for the officials to clean up, there was no way to cover this and us trying to clean up everything would just make everything so much worse.
When we got to the jet, none of us said anything, we were all too tired and too shaken up by the entire incident, there was no point in trying to talk about it. I was able to get some sleep on the jet, but I wouldn't stay asleep for very long since I wasn't able to take a shower before we left, all I could smell was burnt wood and alcohol that made me nocuous to my stomach.
I just sipped on some cold water and hoped I could make it back to my apartment without throwing up; I hated the smell of alcohol since my parents were major alcoholics causing our house to stick of it and every other drug they did.
Our clothes always stank of it making people always asking us if were smoking all the time even though we were young and in high school. Nobody would want to come over to our house and nobody would help us when the abuse actually started.
Wasn't till my grandfather saw the marks on our bodies that someone came in and finally saved Krieger and I from that wrecked place we were suppose to call home. That didn't stop the mental abuse we both took and still carry to this day, now I enjoy killing people and Krieger….we don't talk about the things that he does in his lab or at his apartment.
I look over at Archer who was holding a cold glass to his head with his eyes closed and head leaned back against the seat. None of us were really right in the head since we all took this job; we killed people for a living and tortured them for information.
Everyone dealt with it in their own ways, Lana liked to manipulate men, Archer drank and slept with anything that moved, I punched walls and beat random agents till they were bloody and broken, Krieger experimented in cloning and torturing animals, and Malory just held everything down with alcohol and mentally abused the rest of us.
Not much any of us could really do to get rid of the feelings we got after every mission except keep them hidden and find distractions to not think about them. I lay my head back against the window and shut my eyes to try and fall back asleep before the jet landed back in the US.
We would all take a few days off to bounce back after this mission before we put on our fake smiles and pretend that we didn't just try to burn down a hotel.
