Chapter 36 Sooner than Later

The guards were easy to handle, between the three of them, they were able to restrain them without any noise or fuss whatsoever.

After they all dragged them inside, Remy gagged them, Angela knocked them unconscious with a psi bolt so they wouldn't make a sound, and Scott kept a watch out, although there was no need since he now had a telepath to rely on once again in his life.

After they finished that they headed outside, they were halfway down the steps when Angela stopped in her tracks. Both Scott and Remy stopped alongside her.

"What is it?" Scott turned to her and surveyed his surroundings at the same time, he didn't hear nor see anything, and the look on Remy's face told him that he was as confused as he was.

"There is someone coming," she put her hand to her head as if that helped her to concentrate further, "There are four of them, heavily armed."

"How far away?" Remy asked his voice no louder than a whisper, but it carried far in the quite night.

He watched as she closed her eyes. She then slowly opened them.

"About a minute."

"Well then," Remy you get on the right side, Angela and I will be on the left," Scott pointed to two smaller buildings that were in front of the testing facility "remember we have to get to them before they sound the alarm, so take them out as fast as you can!"

Remy nodded and took of in a run, his right hand reaching into his coat pocket. Scott grabbed Angela's hand and pulled her with him to the other side, she seemed a little hesitant, obviously not used to such going ons.

When they made it to the building Angela positioned herself so that she could see Remy. She then raised her right hand in the air, five fingers upward then four, three, two and then one.

There were footsteps approaching. Loud ones. And before Angela could even lower her hand the guards came into view.

The minute they were insight Scott saw Remy flip a card in his hand,charge it somehow and throw it at the front of the approaching men.

The explosion was small, but it served its purpose, three of the four guards went hurling to the ground. The one left standing was dazed and beyond confused.

Angela took of in a run, he followed being her..Remy was already there...

Angela took the guard on that was still standing upright. Scott took on the two that were behind her, getting to their feet. Pure instinct made him lower his glasses and shoot off an optic blast. The first guard went flying, He made sure only to hit the man on the shoulder, not willing to take a life at that point. Then he turned to the second guard, who was not as out of it as his other friends. He already had gotten out his gun in the length of time that it had taken Scott to blast his friend.

The guard fired off a shot which Scott easily avoided. That would be the only bullet that left that man's gun. Scott was already on him, punching him square in the jaw, the guard stumbled back. Grabbing the uniformed man's jacket Scott pulled the guy back toward him and kicked him hard in the stomach. The man doubled over and them laid still on the ground.

Scott turned his attention to Remy and Angela after he threw the guns in some shrubbery a couple feet away.

Angela was just standing there watching Remy, and apparently also keeping her mind on the surrounding area, the way her eyes seem to see and yet not, showing Scott that.

The woman guard that Angela had taken care of lying on the ground near her feet. As far as he could tell she seemed to be sleeping.

Remy was still fighting, it seemed that he was just toying with the guard, allowing the large man to try to hit him and them quickly stepping around or away from the attempted impact.

"Enough!" Scott said, coming closer to where the two were standing, he looked pointedly at Remy "We have better things to do!"

"Fine den." Remy replied, not bothering to look at Scott, his eyes still on his prey. He jumped up in the air, did a quick spin and kicked the man hard in the chest.

The uniformed man went flying. And then landing hard on the ground with a thud. "Well dat was fun."

"Oh no!' he heard Angela blurt out, her words anxious and full of terror. Her eyes looking behind the two men. They both turned around to see what she was staring at.

A guard was standing ten feet past two small buildings, he was raising his hand in a slow yet ostentatious way. His face was lined with a searing ear to ear grin. Not that any of them noticed, they were too busy looking at the object that was in his raised hand. They all knew what it was.

"I don't know why I didn't feel his presence, the only way is if he is wearing a telepathic blocker." Angela's words came out in a hush, they had an air of despair about them that reached into her eyes that were widened with guilt. "Oh Crap." she suddenly added.

Scott was thinking the same thing except the words he used were a little more explicit. Remy started cursing himself in what sounded like french. His words loud and angry.

And then the man pushed a button. It all happened so quickly, that none of them were able to do anything. They were just able to stand there and watch. The guard's actions even seemed to slow down in the process, as if time itself was mocking Scott and the others for not being able to do anything before it was too late.

Then the alarm sounded. It was loud and haunting, lights turned on and lit up the compound.

"Well looks like we are about to have company." Scott brought his hands to his face and raised his glasses once more, blasting the man off his feet and the object out of his hands.

Then Angela, Scott & Remy stood there, lights shining down on them, surrounded by unconsious guards looking at one another.

They all held the same look. One of determination and perseverance.

The fight wasn't over yet. And it looked like it was coming to them. Sooner than later.
