Chapter 21:You've been holding Out On Me!

Upstate

Sara and Pam took everything out of the supply crates and everything was set. The kids watched Teletubies and Pam and Sara stared at the camera screens ready for anything to move. Sara's eyes were getting tired and were slowly closing every minute that pasted which seem like a day. Then, something happened right in front of the camera. A door swung open and Pam got jumped up but Sara was fast asleep. She walked over to the other bed and lifted the shotgun from the bed and pumped it. Sara flew to the floor as her ear heard the loud gun. Sara saw Pam standing up and walking over to the door. "What is going on? Is that Dave?" Sara asked and Pam sat on the crate right in front of the door and put a big box of shells next to her. She shook her head and lifted the gun up toward the door. Sara's eyes popped open and she grabbed a 9mm from the bed and loaded it. She sat back on the bed and watched the screen as a man in black vest, black pants down to his black shoes, his black shades, and his blond hair trimmed 2 inches from his head walk and search through the house.

"Be ready because I'll have to jump out soon to go and warn Dave." Pam said and Sara watched as the man began up the stairs. She jumped up and ran over to the kids and whispered to them and turned the TV off. They sat there in silence as the man searched the bed rooms.

Europe

We stared to run down the statue hall and then, from behind us was a real horrifying screech. We stopped in our tracks and twisted our bodies around and saw that there was almost 20 of those things in back capes. We were scared but Leon broke the silence except for the small footsteps made by the worshipers,"Go....Mark and Ashley...go now. I'll take them on." I nodded and turned around and snatched Ashley's arm and ran. Leon stood there as he studied the worshipers.

--------------------------

Leon looked and saw that one of them had a red cape on. The one in front of the mob that stood there and figured that he was the leader. Leon looked left and right and saw that there was a rocket launcher nearby. It laid there next to the pillar and Leon ran for it. He scooped up the long and heavy metal pipe that had a tiger at the end and a big rocket sticking out of the other end. He turned and ran out into the open again and saw that they were running now at him. He lifted it up and aimed the missile at the red cape. "Good bye you bastards of hell!" he yelled and gripped the metal trigger and vroom! The missile shot out and it hit man in the red cape and everything went into a flash as the worshiper fell back. A burst of flame came out at Leon and he fell back as the tremendous heat brushed against him.

--------------------------------------

I opened my eyes to see if we lived and I felt my whole body was hurting. Someone or something had crashed into me at full speed and it didn't tickle. I looked up into the sky that was as blue as the sea with white fluffy clouds. I could barely get up but managed to push the pain away and saw Ashley with her arms up in rejoicement. And there stood Leon next to her trying to calm her. I got up to my feet and then, I remembered the kick to the head and that pain came back. I was as fragile as paper today. " We lived through the nightmare! Now, lets go home!" I said as I stumbled over to Ashley and Leon. I noticed the tons of ruble next to me and then saw that Leon was hurt a bit too. He shook his head.

"We can't......I don't have an escape plan yet......I never receive one. I sorta forgot, lets just say."

"..............................Are....you...........fooling around Leon? If you aren't then...I'll shoot her then you and finally me!" I yelled out in fury. I was pissed now.

"Mark, now lets not get rational now ya'know! Hehehe..." Leon said as Ashley backed off. I picked the shotgun off the ground and cocked it. "Wait! I was just joking! There is an escape plan but I'm afraid I don't know it. But I do know who does," Leon said,"Another agent."

I looked at him like "what the fuck did you just say?" I lowered the shotgun from my chest and let it hang down and went,"So, you've been holding out on me? Huh? You knew that there was another person LIVING somewhere around here that could have helped this whole time? Fuck that Leon, c'mon!" I was really pissed now. I turned around and looked among the ruble and stared at it thinking about how we are so frikin close on leaving! Our next objective is now to find that agent that Leon is talking about and hope that he is still amunst the living.

"Still, what I want to know is why the hell was a rocket launcher doing in that kind of place?" Leon asked and I turned around and cocked an eyebrow which hurt sort of and Ashley started chuckling to herself because she knew it did.
