Glitch's p.o.v
I was filled with complete shock when Sally said this. I just sat there and wondered how the hell a Red Fang patrol was here. Or even how they found this place. The closest Red Fang HQ was about 200 miles away! A squad wouldn't just wander that far off from there HQ...unless something happened. I didn't know this for a fact, but it was a possibility. I knew I was the last one to wake up out of the four of us, so I decided to ask everyone if they knew something that I didn't.
"Do you guys know what there doing here?" I asked.
"No, they sort of just showed up. I'm not sure if they're here for a reason or if they're just stranded." Ice responded as he peeked out the door and into the hallway.
"Does anybody else know anything, I need to know everything possible." I said, trying not to sound to pushy.
"No, Ice was the first one to wake up. He woke up Henry and then they came up and got us." Sally replied.
"Well then sense none of us know what there doing here, or how many there are, we need to be quiet when we take them out. We don't know what's out there or how strong they are either. Plus it's nighttime, we don't want to attract any mutants with gunfire." I said as I got up and loaded up in my stealth gear. My stealth gear consisted of a lightweight bulletproof vest and some arm and leg pads for more protection. I would usually carry a 50. caliber sniper rifle but that's way to loud for this type of attack. So I just took my cleaver.
"Look everyone, here's the plan. None of us have suppressed weapons except for Ice, so just stay in the shadows and use your melee weapons only. Ice, I want you to stay in the top window at the end of this hallway and keep your eyes on me. Same with you Sally, I want you to stay here and make sure no one comes in this house. Ice, Only take someone out if I tell you to. Got it?" I asked Ice.
"Yes." Ice and Sally simply responded as Ice went to the window and started to set up and Sally sat on the stairs next to him.
"Henry, your with me." I said as I waved Henry over to get him to follow. I started to walk down the stairs when Sally grabbed my hand and said something that caught my complete attention.
"What?" I said as I was basically dumbstruck by what she said.
"I said please be careful." Sally said in response. This may not seem odd as I knew that she liked me and all and I actually completely expected it, but it was just hearing that made all the difference. But then she said something else.
"Please, I just don't want to lose you again." Sally said as it nearly but a tear in my eye.
"Don't worry Sally, I will be perfectly fine. I will make sure that nothing happens to anybody...ever again." I said as Sally let go of my hand and just responded with a smile and a quiet little thank you that slipped out from under her breath. I looked into her eyes and smiled back to tell her that I heard what she said and started to walk down the stairs with Henry, thinking about the small conversation that just happened. It truly meant a lot to me. I thought about it until it seemed that I just, all of the sudden, appeared in front of the back door of the house with Henry staring at me and asking me if I'm ready.
"Yea, remember, be as quiet as possible during this." I said to Henry.
"I know dude, don't worry about me." Henry said attempting to keep his voice down. I nodded my head to Henry and opened the door to the back of the house. Henry and I stepped out and started to look around, not seeing any contacts at the time. We basically hugged the wall of the house as we went to peek around the corner. I didn't see anything once I first peeked out but then I heard rustling around the next corner of the house.
"Henry get down." I whispered as Henry and I laid down flat on our stomachs to reduce our chances of anyone seeing us. We stayed there, not moving a muscle, for around 5 minutes and decided to stand up. We went to the corner of the house where we heard the rustling. I signaled Henry to stay back a bit while I looked around the corner, seeing the back plating of a Red Fang soldier. A jumped back and told Henry to stay there and let me take him out. I peeked my head out one more time to see if any other soldiers would be able to see me take this guy out. I looked around and saw around ten more soldiers, thank god all of them happened to be facing the other way. I made my moved and put one hand over the guys muzzle, the other on his neck, and twisted in such a way that I nearly shattered his neck. It sounded awful on my end but I quickly realized that this was a wrong move as two of the soldiers seemed to notice. I knocked on the side of the house to signal Ice. He looked down at me and I signaled him to take out the two soldiers on my go. He nodded and I took cover on the side of the house that Henry was on and took the body with me. I could hear the two soldiers talking and getting closer. I waited for them to get closer and knocked on the side of the house again to give Ice the signal. Then I heard the small sound of the suppressed rifle and waited for another. Then I heard another knock in response to say that it was done. This confused but them I looked around the corner and saw two Red Fang soldier's laying there, both with bullet holes through there skulls. I then realized that Ice took the shot at the perfect time and got them both with one pull of the trigger. I was impressed but would have to congratulate him later as we had to get the job done. I signaled Henry to help me with the body's and we moved on to the cafeteria. We arrived and where greeted by three more soldiers who where all standing and talking to each other. I waved up to Ice and signaled him to take out the middle guy on the signal. I went for the one on the right and Henry went for the one on the left. We walked up behind them and struck them at the same time. The middle guy almost screamed but I managed to put my hand over his muzzle and gave Ice the signal. He shot and the bullet went right above my hand and hit the soldier right in between the eyes, burning a patch of fur off my hand. I looked at Henry and he just smiled at me and we went to move on. We started to walk to the next house but where greeted by a highly unpleasant voice.
"Put down your weapons, and this will go by very quickly." I strange, calm voice said. Henry and I quickly turned around but where then staring down the barrel of two sniper rifles, and a shotgun that belonged to a Sargent. I tapped Henry and told him to do as he said...thank god he did.
"Well then, seemed your group has killed off some of my men...It's a shame really, I expected them to be better than that." The Sargent said still in that oddly calm voice.
"What do you mean group, It's just the two of us." I said, hoping he would buy it.
"Oh, you mean you don't know what I did. Well then, I'll just have to show you." The Sargent said as he turned me around and waved at the house that Ice and Sally where in. I was confused at first but then I saw Sally and Ice walk out with a three man squad aiming them down with M4's following them. This struck me with complete anger as I turned and yelled at the Sargent.
"Don't you dare lay a figure on any of them!" I screamed.
"Oh, it seems that there's more that you don't know. You see Glitch, you escaped from the Red Fang experimentation labs and became one of the most wanted wolfs in Red Fang history. Same with your body Henry here. You managed to make it even worse with all the killing you've done. Exactly 198 Red Fang troops have fallen because of you Glitch, and think that I will let you go unharmed. Well bad news for you then, I'm here to kill every...single...one of you." The Sargent said as him and his troops put us all on our knees and put our hands behind our heads. Then he made us all face each other and make us say our final words. Nobody said anything but I decided to be the first one to say something.
"Guys, it seems that this is our last moment together. You where all great wolfs and I would love to spend every minute of my life with you guys..." I was interrupted by everyone starting to tear up, including me. "But I'm afraid that that won't happen. Ice...you where my first true friend that I could trust and I knew you trusted me back. Your an amazing marksman and an even better wolf." I said to Ice
"Thanks Glitch, I'm going to miss you." Ice responded.
"Henry...dude I think your amazing. You where always the guy who would get everybody laughing or would make the best of a bad situation."
"Yea...I was wasn't I." Henry said trying to do exactly what I just explained.
"And Sally...Sally I love you and I wanted to live my life with you. You where the only person able to make me feel an emotion that I think I would never be able to experience if it wasn't for you...love. And I just want to say to all of you...I'm sorry." I said as I started to sob, as did everyone else. But something deep inside me told me that these where tears of joy.
"I love you to Glitch, I feel exactly the same." Sally said as she started to sob even more, making me cry with her.
"Oh how cute...but it seems that you are all out of time." The Sargent said as he told his men to take aim. We all heard a large amount of guns cocking and putting rounds in the chamber. Then heard all of those guns point at us.
"Three...Two...One." The Sargent said as I heard barrage of gunfire and the sound of body's hitting the ground. I didn't open my eyes as I thought that they perpously missed me so I would open my eyes and see my friends laying in front of me. But then a familiar voice started speaking.
"We're okay." Sally said. I opened my eyes and saw everybody sitting in front of me...just fine. We all smiled at each other and started laughing as we looked around and saw all of the Red Fang soldiers laying on the ground full of bullet holes. We all stood up and Sally and I ran to each other and gave each other probably the tightest hug that either one of us have ever felt.
"Who ever is out there...thank you." I said as we started to walk back to the house.
"Your welcome." Some one said as we turned and saw three, darkly colored wolfs armed with sniper rifles standing there...our saviors.
