Chapter 3
A Bad Omen
Graves found him dead, on a pool of blood with a hammer beside him. He lay on his back, with a few bullets holes on his torso. He wasn't the only one that was dead, surrounding him was a group of bodies that wears attires similar with the mercenary that he previously met in High Noon. The other bodies had bruises on their torso and heads, Jayce could've hit them with his hammer to defend himself. He looked at the table that was in front of him, the things on it was messed up. Maybe TF was searching for any clues to open the safe behind the table. The safe was empty, and it was hidden behind a painting that was put to the side.
TING, the elevator arrives. Graves look at the elevator, the door opens and a group of police personnel came out. They came with their guns ready to shoot and body armor that were thick. As they walk, their boots made a synchronize thumps while one of the group were yelling "MOVE MOVE MOVE". Their guns was notably from Hextech, with its trademarks patterns and mechanism.
The men surrounded Graves in a circle, "GET DOWN TO THE GROUND" shouted the leader. Graves was dumbfounded by the situation, what was actually happening? Everything went blurry and the voices were dampened.
what is happening? thought Graves is this a set up?
Four men was surrounding him with their gun set on him, while two men was at Jayce body. The two men check Jayce, touching his neck, searching for any pulse. The leader continues to shout, "STAND DOWN", but he was zoning out. Then he starts paying attention, he look to his left and right, trapped by armed men.
The men was in his way, shooting six men was no problem to him. But TF was gaining distance and it would be a waste if he manage to run this time. Maybe Graves would do something different this time, he hated it but TF was more important than anything, running away. He grips Destiny tightly, he reloaded her and a smoke grenade enter the barrel.
"STAND DO- agh!" the leader shouted but Graves shot a smoke grenade, limiting their vision.
He dash out of the smoke perimeter and shoot at the police officers. He could hear the groans of men getting shot, from that distance, a normal man would seriously be injured. He rush to the elevator while reloading Destiny, and push the button. The door slowly open and he quickly enter the elevator as soon as the door was wide enough for him to enter.
He push a button so that he would go Ground Floor, he gave a few shots to the recovering men. The armed personnel took cover behind the door that separate the two place. They shoot blindly from their cover while Graves relentlessly gave shots of Destiny. He stops shooting as the door close shut, the elevator floor was littered with shell casing that Destiny produce. The barrel of Graves shotgun turned orange red with smoke coming out of it mouth.
He still didn't give up the chase, not now. As soon as the elevator door opens, he rush out and runs to find TF to settle the score.
