Chapter 21: Danger Zone.

All four boys followed Gordon until he stopped, and signalled to them to get down behind some large bushes. "Okay." Gordon whispered. "The door is straight ahead. I want you all to be on alert and as quiet as possible." Scott and John nodded their heads. Gordon looked at Alan who was looking back at where they had just left the equipment. "Al, are you okay?"

"I was just wondering why we left the stretcher hidden, shouldn't we have it with us?" Alan asked. "Virg is definitely going to need it."

"Yes, he is," Scott replied. "But we should come back for it. We need to travel light, so we can easily take anyone out that we do happen to see."

Alan sighed and looked back at his brothers. "Yes, I know, it's just... I want to get him out of there as quickly as possible!"

John placed his arm reassuringly around Alan. "I know, we do too… Al, we are going to get him out of there, Okay?"

Alan nodded his head in response.

Scott smiled at Alan. "Good lad… Everyone got their tranquilliser guns ready?" When they all nodded Scott continued. "Good, Gordon, this is your plan and it's a good one. So, you should take full control here."

"Thanks Scott," Gordon lifted himself up and checked everything was clear. "Okay, this way." They all followed Gordon and Scott to the doorway. Gordon lifted his finger up to his mouth, signalling for them to be quiet. "Any heat signals?" He asked Alan who had the thermal imager.

"There's someone in there," Alan acknowledged.

"Scott, are you ready?" Gordon whispered as he reached for the door handle.

Scott readied himself with the tranquilliser gun. Gordon pulled the door open revealing a man, who was obviously meant to be on guard, he was sitting fast asleep on a chair and he was facing the doorway.

Scott suppressed a laugh as he kept his gun aimed at the man. "Someone's obviously not doing a very good job!"

"Hey, his he one of the assholes who beat up Virg?" Alan asked.

"Yes, he is!" John replied glaring at the man.

"Hey Al, do you want to wake him up?" Scott said grinning at Alan.

Alan smirked at Scott and tapped the guy on his shoulder. "Wakey, wakey!"

"What the?" The man exclaimed as he came too and saw the four of them staring at him.

"Good morning," Scott sarcastically remarked, as he quickly shot his tranquilliser gun at the man, causing him to fall off his chair and straight back to sleep.

Gordon and John quickly tied the man up while Scott and Alan checked the room they had just entered for anyone else who may be lurking around.

"Hey, guys, let's move him into this storage closet and hide him in there." Alan suggested. "If anyone happens to come through here then we don't want to alert them to our presence."

"Good idea Al." Scott replied.

They all lifted the man and moved him into the cupboard.

"This way." Gordon whispered as he walked over to another doorway.

"Anything on the imager Alan?" John asked.

Alan shook his head. "All clear."

Gordon pushed the door handle down and opened the door. They all made their way into the corridor which veered off in two directions. "Right guys, it's very easy to get lost in here, so please stay close and listen carefully." Gordon whispered. "We'll make our way along this hallway, we'll then reach some stairs and we will then head down the staircase, which is six floors down. The stairwell will lead us to the basement level. Once we reach the basement there will be another door and then three different hallways. We will be heading to the left; the corridor leads directly to the room that Virg is being held in. Alan, I will need you to keep watch on the thermal imager, and I'll need the rest of you to stay vigilant."

"Okay," They all responded, as they began to follow Gordon.

When they reached the staircase Alan suddenly ground himself to a sudden halt. "I'm picking up two heat signals coming up the stairs."

Scott quickly ushered Alan and his other brothers to hide behind the previous corner, just in time to see the first man reach the top of the stairs. Gordon shot the tranquilliser hitting the man who fell instantly to the ground. The second man reached the top of the steps and paused when he saw his fallen comrade, he pulled a radio out of his inner jacket but before he could use it Gordon also hit him with the tranquilliser and he fell to the ground.

"Where shall we hide them?" Alan asked.

"There was a small room we just passed we can put them in there," Gordon suggested.

They pulled the first man to his feet and hauled him into the tiny room. Alan began binding the man's arms, while the other three went back into the corridor and pulled the second man to his feet. As they pushed him into the room an unknown voice shouted from behind them. John spun around and shot his tranquilliser gun at the man.

Scott grinned at John. "Good shot."

John returned the smile. "Thanks."

Scott, Gordon and John pulled the man into the room and began tying him up.

"Gordon keep a look out just in case that shout alerted anyone." Scott suggested.

"Already on it bro!" Gordon responded, heading back to the door to keep watch.

At that moment, another man turned into the little room and before any of them could react he had grabbed Gordon's arms and yanked them behind his back, causing Gordon to yelp in pain. He then pulled Gordon into the hall, threw him to the ground and held him down with his knee, which was planted firmly on his back. He then quickly pulled a gun out of his inner jacket and aimed it at the back of Gordon's head. "You better come out of that room" The man demanded. "And hold your hands up."

"Don't move." Scott mouthed to Alan, as he and John headed for the door.

Alan watched as his two brothers walked out of the room with their hands held in the air. He silently stood, made his way to the exit, and hid behind the door so he could hear what was going on.

The man watched the two of them closely. "Is that all of you?"

"Yes," John lied.

"Good! Now, do exactly as I say, and your buddy here won't get hurt!" He ordered. "I want you to lay your weapons down and stand against that wall." As soon as Scott and John had obeyed his instructions the man pulled Gordon to his feet, keeping the gun firmly placed against the back of his head. He pushed Gordon forwards towards the doorway of the small room.

Alan watched as the man peered in the room. He knew that the man hadn't seen him, and he also knew that he could probably hit him with his tranq gun. Unfortunately, how the gun was being held against Gordon's head, Alan knew it was too risky, and he would have to wait for the perfect moment, or create his own. An idea then struck him. He watched as the man turned back towards the hallway, Alan quickly pulled his belt off and flung it at the wall opposite him. The belt hit the wall with a clang, causing the man to drop his attention, and move the gun away from Gordon's head. Sensing his opportunity Alan jumped out and fired the tranquilliser into the man. "Sweet dreams!" Alan sarcastically remarked as the man fell to the floor.

Gordon grabbed Alan and hugged him tightly. "Geez Al, that was brilliant... Thank you!"

Alan smiled. "Anytime Gords!"

Scott and John grabbed their guns and went over to Alan and Gordon.

"Good job Alan!" John beamed.

"Well done Al!" Scott added ruffling Alan's hair. "Are you okay Gordon?"

"Yes, I'm fine," Gordon reassured them.

"That's five down?" Alan asked.

"Yes, there should be two more men to go, which includes that ass who whipped Virg... Then we have the Hood as well!" Gordon warned

"Okay then... We should tie this one up and then carry on," Scott recommended.

"No arguments from me!" Gordon added.

They all finished securing the man, then made their way back to the stairwell, and then soundlessly down the stairs, checking each floor carefully for anyone who may happen to be around. No one else appeared and as soon as they had reached the basement they headed down the left corridor, until they reached a large door.

"Virgil's signal is coming from in here." Gordon stated. "Alan, how many heat signals are you picking up?"

"Just the two." Alan answered.

Gordon glanced at his brothers. "Okay, we need to do what Alan did upstairs and make some sort of loud noise that will lure the man outside. We can then knock him out with the tranquilliser."

"The belt again?" Alan suggested.

Gordon nodded. "It's worth a try."

Alan pulled his belt off and waited for his brothers to prepare themselves. "Ready?" He asked.

"Yes." They all whispered.

Alan threw his belt against a piece of metal which caused an almighty clang. The sound of the door being unlocked from inside was heard and a man made his way outside. Scott instantly shot his tranquilliser gun at the man causing him to slide to the floor. Scott, Gordon, Alan and John rushed into the room and came to an instant stop at the unconscious sight of their brother.
