Ch 9

Pov: Zach

I turned on the mike said into it "ok, I got them out, now how do I get out of here?"

Deepthroat started "Go to the end of the corridor go right and-" suddenly alarms went off in the building. I shouted into the mike "Deepthroat, what the hell's going on?"

"The helicopter crew must have notice that no one had came and reported it in"

I said "Just tell me how get out"

"Take that right and go down that hall and at the end is a room used for conferences, it not in use right now, once our in the room jump out and fly away"

"Got it" I turned to Max and said "fallow me and run"

As we turned around the corner we saw close to ten erasers coming down the hall from the left. I shouted to the flock "just keep running, it's at the end" as we did, two other erasers jump out from the corner before the room. Time slowed as I pulled my pistols and shot them both in the head. I opened the door and shouted to Max and the others "Get in" They ran through the doorway. I then went in and locked behind me. After listening to the thuds of the erasers against it and catching my breath, I took aim at the glass and fired with the pistol that had more ammo, shattering it and making the bullets left in each pistol 6.

Max then said "I think I know what to do next." Then everyone brought up their wings, but before we could jump, A Blackhawk dropped down from out of nowhere. There was someone on a megaphone saying "you got 10 seconds surrender now or we'll open fire" I saw that it was equipped with an M-60 on its doors. Jumping now was out unless… The guy on the megaphone started counting down "10, 9, 8…" by the time he got to 5, I had both pistols out and unloaded them at the cockpit as fast as I can. One of my twelve shots must have killed the pilot, because the heli then spun out of control and crashed onto the I-90* then smashed by an oncoming semi, with very high possibility of killing everybody onboard.

After a pause I said "come on, let's get out of here" Max nodded and one by one the gang jumped out until it was just me Suddenly the door bust open and the erasers came in. I did a battle cry as I ran for the window, bullets whizzing past me. I jumped, then my body, despite me never flying before, instinctively snapped my wings open, and flapped then to get up to the rest of the group. I'm finally free, free as, pardon the pun, a bird. But there's still something I have left to do.

A n: the heli was meant to be a Hind D and Zach was to blow it up by shooting a missile that was equipped to it. However I realized that was it would have made no since to even have a hind, it's too big for a building and overkill for what I wanted it to do.
