THE HUNT
Chapter Fourteen
Escape and Evade
Logan felt Krit and Syl ease up to him as they all crept closer together every step the guards made to advance on them. Renfro was looking rather proud of herself with her arms gently crossed and a smug smile written across her face. The blood had stopped flowing from her nose and lip, but her clothes were in shambles and her hair was mussed. The wound that Syl had created in her arm with the dagger was still rapidly bleeding, but she tried not to show her pain; even though her face grimaced every once in a while. At least they had given her a run for what it was worth.
Krit made a quick scan of the guns that the soldiers were carrying with his advanced eyes and noticed they were holding tasers instead of actual loaded guns. That took a little ease off of the situation, but knowing what might happen if he was shot with one didn't make him feel any better. Max shifted slightly in his arms, trying to wake, but not finding enough strength to actually do it. He sighed depressingly slightly, knowing that she wouldn't be able to help.
Syl moved closer to the group as a guard pointed his gun at her neck. She really felt like snapping his. He kept running his eyes over her when he didn't think no body was watching. The first thing she wanted to do if she got free was to give him a nice bump on the head or rip those gazing eyes of his out. Bling was next to Logan and her, and hovering over the entire group, being the tallest.
"Just give it up." Renfro said again breaking all of them out of their own reveries. "If you come peacefully, no harm will come to you." She watched for a moment as no one moved or attempted to answer and then continued. "You're out numbered." She motioned around her. "There's no escape for you this time. Come back to Manticore." She said over sweetly as she stepped closer to Max and Krit.
Syl was preparing herself to lunge out at the fresh guard, when her senses whirled keeping her from attacking. Within a second, an alarm started to blare, red lights flashed everywhere and the guards were thrown off their concentration. It was time.
Krit quickly gave Max over to Logan before attacking three guards that were placed in front of him. He took two down with a split leg kick and the third he punched with all his might in the face, sending the man sprawled onto the floor with blood trickling down his nose and mouth.
Syl instantly sprang for the guard that had been eyeing her since they trapped them, whacking the guy on the head with his own taser gun which she grabbed and used on five other guards that were realizing too late what was happening. Bling aided in the fight by taking out two guards, much slower than Syl and Krit, but it was still helpful.
Logan took Max off into a corner of the hall away from the fight and kept her as calm as he could. She tried to fight his hold, mumbling how she had to help, but was even too weak to fight against Logan. Her eyes became heavy again before he felt her doze off in his arms. Logan held her close as he backed into the corner just when more tasers went off and the guards began to drop like flies.
Krit took out the remaining guards with the taser that Syl had used and given to him. When all the soldiers were down, that only left Renfro who was watching incredulously and leaning against the wall with awe. Her guards were scattered about everywhere, blood flowing and moans sounding every moment or two.
"Syl, get Max. We gotta jet." Krit told Syl as he picked up another taser. He walked over to Renfro who was still shocked by the revelations, her eyes darting around. Krit got up close to her face and grabbed her wounded arm tightly. Renfro squirmed in his grasp, wincing each time she shifted her injury. "We're never coming back, never." He said and checked the taser, then aimed it at her. "This is for all the X5s." and he shot her with the stun gun.
Renfro felt a piercing stab of electricity bound through her before her body started to twitch and then tremble. She fell to the floor in a heap, he body going numb from the shock. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head and she fell unconscious. Krit sneered down at her before his senses went off and his advanced hearing heard approaching footsteps.
Syl, Bling and Logan came behind him, Syl carrying Max gently in her arms. He motioned down the hall where more guards were coming and made them follow him down the opposing corridor. The siren had stopped wailing and Manticore was quiet except for their footsteps and the groaning down the hall as the guards began to wake and others tended to their wounds and their fallen boss.
Max was stirring more and more in Syl's arms, asking incoherent questions and trying to get up, but another wave of drowsiness swept over her before she fell asleep, safe in her sister's arms. The four on foot ran out of and unguarded loading doors and down the ramp behind Manticore. Another siren started to wail, but this one was more familiar as searchlights probed the forests that they ran into as dogs started to bark.
The four hopped into the busted up convertible and the engine roared to life. Krit hit the petal to the floor and raced down the street. The tires skidded at first before screeching and taking off quickly. Logan breathed a sigh of relief as they headed back to Seattle and took one last look in the direction of Manticore.
