Welcome back and thank you for coming this far!
Tyson leads them to his hide out that just happened to be close to their base camp. When asked if it was safe to be that close to them, he just simply shrugged his shoulders and replied, "I'm the only one with a key. Welcome to my office."
"So what exactly if your plan for getting by their base camp?" Regan pondered.
"I have been watching them for a while. At night, they turn into a skeleton crew. As long as we stay quiet, we should be able to sneak right past them." He sees the skeptical look on Ray's face. "Look, the most important thing for me is getting Hiro out of here. We are leaving tonight. With or without you."
Ray put up his hand in a gesture to calm down. "I wasn't going to say anything other than let's get rested up."
"… yah. Good idea."
When it's finally midnight, Regan goes over to Ray and gently shakes him awake. "Tyson said it's time to leave."
"Right." Ray wipes off the sleep from his face and gets up.
Tyson bends down to be Hiro's level. "Now I want you to listen to my every word. You are to stick to new like glue. Repeat it."
"Yes I get it." Hiro rolls his eyes.
"I said repeat it." He gives him a warning tone.
"Stick to you like glue." He sighs but gives his brother a small smile when he pats him on the head.
"You two ready for this?" They both nod. Tyson takes in a deep breath and when he lets it out he quietly opens the door that leads into the base camp. "I'll follow your lead Ray."
Ray nods. "Right." He goes up behind some debree and sees two bandits talking to one another on with their backs facing them. "You go right." Tyson nods in understanding. They both sneak their way up to the bandits, strangling the two and moving their bodies out of sight.
They keep low and head outside. "Dammit. There are two snipers posted up on their barricade. Wouldn't happen to have a bow and arrow in your packs?"
Regan and Ray both shake their head.
"Damn." Tyson whispers a little too loudly.
"We may have to just Gung hoe this operation." Ray sighed in fustration.
"Wait here." Before Ray could protests Regan crouches off getting closer to the barricade. She climbs up on one side and sneaks up behind one of the snipers and stabs him in the throat. She then does the same to the other sniper. She signals to the others to come to where she was.
"You've got yourself quite the woman there, Ray." Tyson smirks and urges his brother to move forward.
"She isn't my woman." He sighs and makes his way to where she is located. "That was stupidly dangerous." He scolds.
"But it worked, didn't it." She crossed her arms, more than ready to argue with him.
He sighed. "Yah I guess it did. But seriously, don't be so reckless next time."
"Right, I'll remember that the next time I save your ass."
Tyson jumps down from the sniper areas and tries to open the barricade doors. "Ray, I need your help opening this."
"On it. Regan, watch our backs." Ray jumps down and starts slamming against the door. "Damn what the hell?"
Regan hears the sound of a very loud engine. "Uh guys… you may want to hurry up and get those doors open."
Just then a tank rams through a wall and starts gunning at them. "Shit!" Tyson and Ray slam harder against the door till finally it opens. "Come on hurry up!"
Regan runs to the barricade door but a hand holds her back before she can enter. She struggles against it, kicking and flailing hut it's too strong. "Ray!"
Ray stops and looks back, seeing a bandit grabbing onto Regan. "Fucker! No you don't!" He runs back and pulse the guy off of her. He slams the bandits head so hard against the ground, you could hear the Crack over the engine of the tank. "You okay?"
"Worry about that later." Ducks for cover when the tank shoots. "Come on!" The two of them catch up to Tyson and Hiro.
" We have a problem guys. The bridge is out." Tyson looks to Ray with an apologetic look.
"Let's jump." Ray suggest.
"Are you crazy? The fall will kill us!" Hiro looked over the edge of the bridge. The tank was right behind them, trying to push through the cars to get to them.
"We don't have another choice. Don't worry Hiro. We will be fine." Tyson pats his brother on his head.
"Ray, are you sure about this?" He nods his head and takes her hand.
"We will jump together." They both are a deep breath and jump into the rushing river water. The temperature alone was enough to make any person gasp.
Ray kept bobbing to the top trying to think keep himself and Regan above water. No matter how rough the current was, he never lost his grip on her and made sure that he was the one to slam into rocks.
Finally they find their way to shore. Ray is gasping for air while trying to empty them of water. "Is…" coughs a couple times, "is everyone okay and accounted for?"
Tyson and Hiro are both coughing up water. "Yah. Still here."
Regan stands up, looking around at her surroundings. "Now how the hell are we gonna get to the radio tower?"
"Hiro and I will look around for a way. Just hang tight."
Ray leans up and looks around. "We really got ourselves into some shit didn't we."
"Yah. Thanks for your help back there."
"I'm know you would do the same thing. I would consider us even now. You know, for the whole sniper thing." He smirks at her.
"Heh. Funny."
"Hey I think I found us a way in!" Hiro comes running to them. "This way."
Ray gets up and jogs after him. "Don't tell me it's another sewage system."
"Actually I think it's a water filtration system." Tyson answers.
"Thank goodness because I am really tired of walking through shit."
"Aw but I think you look sexy covered n human excrement." Ray give Regan a look that just makes her crack up. "I'm sorry I couldn't help it."
"Just shut up and get in." He holds open the grate for everyone to climb in and it slams behind him with a loud thud.
"I hope their aren't any clickers around because that was loud." Regan stated.
"Thank you captain obvious. And that grate is heavy. I'd like to see you try and hold that thing for long." He huffs at her. "And don't go jinxing us with clickers."
So let me just apologize now. I know that there are a lot of grammatical errors but I am doing this from a phone. Quickly might I add. I do plan on going back through each chapter once I'm finished and editing out those darned errors. But for now, bear with me! I'll keep posting fast but I gotta ignore those errors.
