A Different World
Chapter 15
Outside Angie's Apartment
A group of heavily armed men rushed into their positions at the bottom of the rundown building. One man signaled to the rest what to do and more men appeared almost out of no where. They were taking position all around, blocking off the exits to make sure their targets could not escape as they awaited their next orders.
Inside Ben awoke with a start. He looked outside the window and with his enhanced eyesight spotted a few men dressed in black moving around on the roof across the street. He looked down at the woman sleeping peacefully beside him and gently shook her awake.
"Get up and get dressed now." He ordered as he found his pants and put them on.
"Ben what's going on?" Angie asked him as he frantically ran around the room picking up her clothes and passing them to her.
"You have to get out of here now. Lydecker's men are outside and they're going to bust through that door at any second." He said grabbing her arm and leading her to front door. She grasped his hand hard and struggled with her pants as she walked, trying to keep them up. He signaled her to stop in front of the door. He opened it slightly and peeked through, checking down both sides of the hallway. "Okay, you're clear to go."
"What do you mean 'I'm clear to go'. What about you?" She asked trying to stay calm but failing miserably.
"We can't walk out together, Angie. You're safe as long as we're apart." Ben explained.
"No fucking way! I'm not leaving you!" She said defiantly.
"Angie don't argue with me. I can't escape if I have to worry about protecting you at the same time. You can just walk straight through the front door."
She didn't respond at first, letting what he said sink in. It made sense but it didn't make her feel better. "Ben, please becareful." She said teary eyed as she hugged him tightly.
"I will. Go to Max's apartment and I'll meet you there."
"Promise?" She asked.
"I promise. Now go." He said. She kissed him quickly and left. He closed the door and locked it behind her.
Angie walked down the stairs trying to look as nonchalant as possible. As she made it to the ground floor she could see the men surrounding the front door. She braced herself mentally and walked straight through them. She passed an older, graying man who shot her a questioning glance. He kind of creeped her out but she kept her head up and paid him no attention. When she made it a fair distance away she turned back and watched as the men stormed the building. She watched horrified for a couple of seconds and then bolted down the street as fast as she could.
Max's Apartment
Max and Alec sat on the couch in her living room. Alec had the remote and was channel surfing when Max got fed up of watching nothing but the screen flashing and snatched it off of him.
"Hey, I had that first!" Alec cried incredulously.
"Well, I've got it now so deal with it." Max proclaimed smugly.
Alec watched her with an expression of complete and utter disbelief. As fast as the eye can blink, he reached out and snatched it back, smirking at her for good measure and began flipping through the channels again. She now adopted the look of disbelief but covered it quickly with a look of outrage and lunged toward him, sending them both toppling off the couch onto the floor. They wrestled for a few minutes, each grasping for the remote whenever it came into reach. Finally Max flipped them over so that she was on top, straddling his waist and pinned his wrists above his head.
"Give up, Soldier Boy!"
"You know Max, if you wanted to be on top all you had to do was ask." He said grinning up at her. She swatted him across his arm and he laughed loudly. At that moment the front door swung open and Angie ran through.
"Angie, what's going on?" Max asked as she stood up.
"Lydecker. He stormed my apartment while Ben was there." She said beginning to panic.
"Where's Ben now?" Max asked letting the worry she felt show.
"He made me leave without him. I don't know what happened to him but he said he would meet me here." She explained. A tear finally broke free and Angie wiped at it furiously. "I have a really bad feeling Max."
By now Alec had also stood up and was standing next to Max. "We have to help him." Max stated and ran for the door. She was quickly followed by Alec and Angie. "Stay here." Max told Angie as they made their way out the building.
"No way, I'm coming too. I'm not leaving him again Max."
Max looked hard at her and recognised the determination on her face. She was way too stubborn, a trait they both shared. "Fine. But you have to be very careful. This isn't a game, these are highly trained soldiers we're up against."
Angie just nodded and followed. As they made it further down the street they could see the activity surrounding the building.
Inside Ben realised that he was trapped. They were knocking down doors one by one searching the apartments and they were quickly approaching his. He turned around and looked outside at the buildings across the street and saw the snipers waiting on the rooftops and he made his decision. Rearing back he took a deep breath and then sprinted forward, shielding his face as he jumped straight through the window.
Max, Alec and Angie watched in horror as Ben's figure fell from the window and several men ran forward to attack. He landed on his feet and instantly got into a fighting position. Max and Alec blurred forward knocking out a couple of them on the way while Ben took care of the ones closest to him. Joining his side the three got into position back to back and began to fight their way out.
As fewer and fewer soldiers were left, Max, Alec and Ben were becoming hopeful that they would all make it out in one piece.
"Give yourselves up now."
All three X5's turned around to the chilling voice of Donald Lydecker who was holding Angie. There were three armed men who had their guns trained on her and all of a sudden the situation didn't look that good anymore.
