Love Struck Delusion
Chapter 72 – Greet Me As You May.
Black's POV, Canyon, Pakistan.
"How long has it been...Black?"
Gorgon himself stood there staring. His eyes like a panther. Ready to run at me at any second. Keeping on my toes around him and his men; I replied with a skipping voice.
"Tw...two years."
Turning his head at me in confusion he asked.
"You okay? You seem a little worried."
With Ruby and Jagger both chuckling as Gorgon looked around me, I remained silent as he wondered.
"New friends? Where's the second best team in the Users hiding?"
"They couldn't make it." I replied back in speed as he nodded very slowly to ask.
"Is that Raptor Voltz?"
Looking over my shoulder towards Wreak and Misty who held him there, I replied back sternly.
"What's it to you?"
Letting out a sigh, he calmly stated back in force.
"I could ask you the same thing. Did Linnen finally drop the ball and tell you about your sister? I assume that's why your now rouge."
"None of your business Gorgon." I told him strictly as I looked to Ruby who said with a smile.
"All tough now that he's playing for the other team, huh Gorgon?"
Gorgon ignored her as I said.
"My reasons for wanting Linnen dead are my own. My sister or not, G.U.N commander or not. I will kill him Gorgon."
"You really wana bet on that Black?" Wondered Scrotus who now jumped into the conversation.
"Get in my way and you'll see just how much I'm willing to bet on that Scrotus."
Instantly beginning to chuckle, Scrotus pulled away to let Ruby ask.
"You remember who we are, right Black? You know the code. Friend to us or not we will have to stop you."
"She's right." Stated Scrotus as I looked to Gorgon who continued to stare at Raptor.
"I won't die without a fight." I stated as Blitz mocked.
"Won't be much of a fight."
Giving him a slight growl to the comment, I panicked and widened my eyes as Archer asked.
"Just who the fuck do you think you guys are?!"
"Shut up Archer!" I ordered him as Scrotus urged.
"I'd listen to him runt. You don't wana know the answer to that question. So do yourself a favor and let the men in the room talk."
Instantly Archer questioned.
"Wana say that to my face?! Or are you just going to stand there and act tough behind your black Humvee!?"
Getting off the back of the truck, Scrotus stated with laughter.
"You really want to get your ass kick huh? Well I'm down for a fight. Gorgon?"
"Leave it alone Scrotus." Ordered Gorgon as his eyes came back to me.
Keeping himself in place, Scrotus kept on lock with Archer. Meanwhile Gorgon wondered to me.
"Why turn on us Black? You think we wouldn't be back in time for this war? You knew sooner or later I was going to show up here."
Nodding I replied.
"I know. And I'm prepared to deal with it."
"Are you?" Wondered Tusk as Gorgon urged.
"Tell you what Black. Linnen doesn't have to know about this, and since your a friend I'll say this offer only once. Hand over Voltz and the others, and go."
Everyone went silent as I looked to Archer, then to Wreak and Misty. They all stared at me in concern for my next choice of actions. Ether I walk and they die, or we all die.
"Don't do it Black. Your in this with us now." Stated Archer as Wreak added.
"You hand us over, and the war is over. Your sister will never get the freedom she died for."
The words Wreak said hit me hard. But the situation we were in was clear. Placing my right hand on my belt, Gorgon watched carefully as I felt for my case.
"Do you really want to do that Black?" He asked me as everyone watched.
Undoing the lock, I watched as Gorgon reached for his UMP 45. immediately Wreak and Misty backed up with Raptor as Archer shouted.
"We can take them Black!"
With his gun now lowered to his waist, I took a syringe out and placed it on my leg. Archer was ready to bolt at them, but as I let out a calm sigh I ordered him.
"Stay back Archer."
"What!?" He questioned as I gave myself the Viper Venom.
With my eyes going red I replied.
"Let me handle this. You can't help."
Slowly putting his gun down in the sand, Gorgon urged.
"Come on then. Let's make this quick."
"Let's." I replied as I cracked my neck.
Ruby let out a whistle as I did that and stated to herself.
"You always were the hotter of the group Black. I give you that. I still get goosebumps when you get the Venom."
Ignoring her, I kept my focus on Gorgon who stood there straight. With a blank expression he stated to me.
"I'll make it painless Black."
"Fuck you." I muttered as I kicked up sand.
Running straight at him I knew he would more then likely block my first attack. So with that in mind, I went to grab his incoming arm. But before I could even get a blow off; he sent his legs through my feet with such power I was kicked immediately off my stance and leveled out in the air. As fast as it happened was as fast as his next attack came in.
Dropping an elbow on my chest, I let out a gag of pain and hit back first under his feet. I felt blood splash my throat as I landed. Letting it roll out from my lips, I panicked as Gorgon picked me up by the arm. Looking him in the eyes as I leveled out with him, I widened up as he twisted me back around with my wrist in hand. Dropping to my knees as he held me there, I gently felt his leg rest on my back.
"Wait!" I ordered him as he let out a sigh to ask.
"What?"
Looking to my side I replied.
"I'm sorry."
Instantly Jagger and Scrotus began to chuckle as Archer looked to me in confusion.
"I should know better." I stated as Gorgon kept his expressionless face on the back of my head.
As things went silent, I lifted up my head to hear the chopper coming in. Wreak and the others saw it as well. With it soon to land, I heard over Wreak's comm.
"Super 2-5 has eyes on you guys Lieutenant. Should we land?"
Wreak hesitated as he looked to me for an order. Placing my free hand on my belt, I grabbed a flashbang and listened as Gorgon urged.
"You better tell them to pull out. No need for any one else to get hurt Black."
Pulling and holding the pin, I replied.
"Your right. No one else will get hurt. Cause we're leaving now."
In confusion, Gorgon widened his eyes as I tossed up the flashbang over my shoulder. With everyone caught off guard, the flash went off. With all my strength; I kicked Gorgon away and ran for Wreak and Misty to order over his comm.
"Come in now Super 2-5! Hurry the fuck up! This is a hot extract!"
With Gorgon and his team still blind as the chopper came in, I panicked and looked back to see them all grabbing their guns.
"Get behind me!" I ordered Archer and the rest of them as I grabbed Raptor by the arm.
Pulling him away from Wreak and Misty, they panicked and widened their eyes as I used him a shield. Gorgon who was now back to full function looked forward to see the unexpected problem he now faced as the chopper came landing behind us.
"Get in!" I ordered my friends as it kept a few feet off the ground.
With Gorgon and his team aiming at us, I kept Raptor held parallel with my body. Gorgon himself knew what had to happen. He never breaks orders. I knew what he would do next.
"Stand down!" He ordered his men in an annoyed tone as I smiled.
"This isn't the end of this Black!" He stated over the sound of the chopper as I climbed in with Raptor.
"Your right! Next time I'll kill you!"
Chuckling in disbelief, Gorgon was forced to watch as we got airborne.
"Go!" I ordered the pilot as I kept Raptor up over my body to make sure Jagger wouldn't try and take a shot.
Watching Gorgon as we soon flew in the opposite direction, I waited till I was certain nothing would happen before placing Raptor back in safe hands. I can't believe I had to use him as a shield but I had no other choice. Taking him back, Misty asked.
"Are you fucking insane!?"
Letting out a breath, I replied while leaning back in a seat.
"Yeah. But we got away. That's what matters right now."
"You just used my best friend as a field tactic. Even more so a meat shield." Stated Wreak as Archer stared at me in silence.
"Remind me to buy you a drink when we get back." Urged Wreak as Archer questioned.
"Are you really scared of him?"
Nodding I replied.
"Yes. He'll be after us soon enough. Next time we won't get that lucky."
With Raptor now in safe hands and us on the way back to Iraq, I took a moment to rest. Things have gone from bad to worse. But at least the Rebellion will live for a few days more. At least I'll get some answers. But Vector...? How do I tell the others?
Looking out the window as the sun was slowly raising, I tried to shift my attention on the future.
Wreak's POV.
Black was insane all right. I never would have thought of that tactic. Then again when Raptor finds out the details I'm sure he won't be happy he was used as bait. But for now I praised Black for his guts and his sacrifice. Without him or Vector we wouldn't be where we are now. But Vector? I don't know how much that did to Black, but I'm sure he wasn't ready for it. Losing a brother is never easy.
With Raptor in my arms and Misty beginning to patch up any remaining wounds, I looked to Archer.
Something wasn't right about him.
Short chapter today, but I got a big one up next so it will have to do for now. Let me know what you think as always guys and gals.
