CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE:
WOMAN IN RED
"Morir es vivir, morir es vivir." Sly crawled up to the edge of the platform and peered down. About seven monks and a red leader zealot were below him, sacrificing what appeared to be a big slab of human meat with an insignia spear shoved into it. Sly choked down what little food he had in his stomach and looked back at the door that he had come from.
About a few minutes ago, after they had found Murray and Ashley had gotten kidnapped (for the umpteenth time), Sly, Murray, and Leon had continued on. Leon had gotten a radio signal from Salazar, who had told him that he was 'releasing his insects for a little run in the sewer'. Little did Sly know that Salazar's pet insects were giant, mutant mosquito like creatures. Sly had gotten seperated from Murray and Leon when he had tried to escape the 'Novistadors' as Luis had called them in a letter that he wrote for when Leon found it. Sly still had it with him. Now Sly was trying to find a way back to Leon and Murray.
Sly looked back down at the monks and the red zealot. What should he do? Should he wait for Leon and Murray to find him? Sly shook his head. It could be hours before Leon and Murray found him. Sly didn't even know how he had gotten here before them. So he was going to have to kill the monks and the zealot. He glanced back at the rocket launcher that he always kept on his back, which reassured him slightly as he got up on his knees, ready to fight.
Suddenly a rocket, more than likely blasted from a rocket launcher, fired into the huddled group of monks, killing most of them including the red zealot. Sly looked around for the cause of the blast, just when a tall, attractive Asian-American woman wearing a long, red dress stepped out from behind one of the pillars below Sly. He watched as the woman in red looked around for other enemies. Seeing none, she fled across the huge hallway and disappeared behind the door that was locked when Leon had tried to open it. Sly sat there for a few moments before rising, a billion questions flooding into his mind.
Who was that woman?I wonder if Leon knows her. How could she open that door when just an hour or so ago, Leon couldn't?... Sly shook his head. He probably would never know. The important thing now was to hurry up and find Leon before more monks and zealots came, or another mysterious person...
NOTE: Well at least Sly didn't have to fight anyone and get hurt in the process... The mysterious woman in red will show up in a few other chapters. R&R please.
