Get Down " Aedan shouted as several shots rang out and Aedan fell to the floor wounded. Before Brooks could react the dumpster hit a curb and launched her and Aedan like a catapult.

When Brooks came too she saw the Fixer walking up to Aedan's unconscious body a pistol drawn.
" no " she whispered as she tried to stand but a massive wound to her forehead made her collapse. All she could do was watch helplessly.
" Did you really think I did not know what you were doing? Did you really think The Mistress wouldn't betray you for the bounty", The Fixer asked.
Aedan groaned as he lay face down.
"Did you really think you could win ", The Fixer growled as he cocked his gun. " Now to rid myself of a problem I should have done years ago. "
Then he paused as he heard 8 other guns being cocked all at once from behind him . Slowly Brooks looked up to see 8 soldiers each armed with assault rifles approaching the Fixer who had now turned around and froze. A look of horror on his face as he whispered " not possible "
" Hellhound ", a redheaded female soldier barked.
The guy on the ground " A short Hispanic soldier replied.
" The other guy is the leader of all slavers" Brooks shouted not sure why she was shouting it but it felt right.
Before anyone could act the redheaded woman sneered and shot The Fixer between the eyes. Then she saw a Field Medic kneel beside Aedan and another one knelt beside her.
