King of Hearts

Chapter 63 – Butt Buddies.

Vexer's POV, Hancock building, Boston.

The floor held a couple of guys in blue suits. My first reaction towards it was to think Cora was behind this, but after sneaking up here I came to terms and figured out pretty fast these guys weren't his normal soldiers. They were outfitted with heavy weapons. Guns Cora and even our family couldn't get their hands on yet. These guys were differently not from the states.

With the men behind me that I wanted to sidestep on my way up, I found a door at the end of the hall that looked to be where they were holding Hash. It was guarded by a single man. And as I crept up on his left side, I reached for my M9 to aim up at his head just in case he was to turn right now and see me. But keeping with my military training, I managed to get right up on him. Pulling down on his neck, I whispered.

"Shhhhh! Shhhh! Quiet now."

Looking back at the patrol who was brain dead to what was happening. I continued to choke the man in my arms till he went still. After he was out, I got to checking his pockets to find the key for the door. Slowly putting it in the lock, I overheard from inside.

"You still haven't told me who you are." My eyes and ears focused in as I heard Hash. He sounded throttled.

Getting my gun ready, I heard a familiar voice respond.

"Zeno Linux Jr. Nice to meet you."

Widening my eyes as the words left his mouth, I panicked as the next sound was the cocking of a gun. I wasn't going to wait and see if I was right or not. Sending the door wide open, I found Hash sitting in a metal chair with ropes around his hands and feet. And in front of him was a tall black wolf and a beefed up echidna. But with the gun pointed to my friend; I charged forward getting everyone's attention.

"Arghhhh!" I shouted as the wolf turned to widen his eyes. Sending my body into his gut, the wolf dropped the large handgun he held in front of Hash as I sent him back first into a nearby wooden wall.

Crashing through it and onto the floor, the wolf pushed up on me with all he had as the echidna came running to us with the gun in hand.

Before he could get a shot, I sent myself back up to my feet to grab a strong grip on his hand twisting it to the side and forcing it to drop to the ground.

Panicking as he was now defenseless, the echidna sent a hook with his right and watched from above as I dropped under his arm to pick him up off his feet and down to the floor. After sending a blow of my own into his mouth, I got my eyes back on the wolf who was rushing the gun.

Leaping off his friend, I was able to take a hold of the desert eagle and turn my attention back on the wolf who now ran for his life to the door.

"BANG! BANG!"

With each shot missing as he ran out into the hall. I turned to see the echidna swinging.

"Bash!"

Falling to the floor, I lost complete track of the gun as he took me by the back of the neck to toss me back in with Hash who was struggling to get free.

"Come here!" Ordered the echidna as he reached for me once more.

Sending my foot into his shin, the man dropped to his knee.

Hearing the sound of that patrol coming now from outside, I looked under Hash's seat to find the gun under it. Taking it back into my hands, I flipped back over to aim at the echidna who widened his eyes.

"BANG!"

The whole back of his head was busted open, and I quickly got back to my feet to ask Hash.

"You good!?"

In confusion that I made it just in time, he stuttered.

"I'm...ahhhh...?"

Seeing the men turn into the room with fully automatic weapons. I cut him off mid sentence to shout.

"Your fine!"

Grabbing onto the back of his chair, I used all the strength I had to lift him up and pull the pair of us through the broken wall and away from the fire that was now filling the room.

Tripping up on debris, I knocked both Hash and I down as a man shouted from the door in the other room.

"Get them!"

"Get me out of here!" Ordered Hash as I covered his mouth with my hand to lift myself up on his face.

With my junk literally on his eyes, I used the upturned chair he was confined to, to balance the desert eagle on.

Gagging for air as three men turned the corner of the wall, I opened fire.

"BANG! BANG!" Nearest to the right of the group was clipped right in the chest by the first two rounds, as I quickly aimed to the center.

"BANG! BANG! BANG!" Lifting off his feet, the man in the center dropped to the ground leaving only one left for my last few rounds.

"BANG! BANG! Click!"

With the receiver pulling back, I watched with widened eyes as the last man hit the ground where Hash used to be sitting.

"Mmmmmmhmm!"

Remembering that I was on him, I pulled away from his face and took my hand off his mouth.

"You okay buddy?!" I asked as he coughed up blood to shout.

"Your fucking dead Vex!"

Giving him a smile I replied.

"Ahhhh I missed you too! Come on! Let's get you out of this chair!"

Undoing his hands and feet, Hash rolled to the side to begin gagging up chunks of his guts.

His condition was bad. Really bad. Most of his face was black and blue and his head looked to be cracked open. Gently taking his shoulder, Hash pushed off me to order as he coughed.

"Go after...him! Aukkk!"

Nodding as he puked up more blood. I took a hold of one of the rifles dropped to the floor by my attackers; to run back out into the hall.

Following the path the wolf ran, I found him out on the roof getting on a small minibird.

Only after getting in the air did he see me taking aim.

"BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!"

Hitting the chopper with what I had, I lowered the gun as he managed to get away.

Letting out a long sigh, I turned back for the stairs leading back down to the main floor. By the door I broke down, I found Hash stumbling to the frame holding his gut.

"Let's get out of here Vex." He urged as I nodded and dropped the gun to take him under the arm. After getting him down the elevator and into the car outside, did he ask.

"How did you know I was here?"

Starting up the engine, I replied.

"I found the scene you made at Russel's house. Your phone had that guy's number and I got Dave to trace it here."

"Fucking Linux!" Stated Hash in anger as he continued to cough up blood.

Nodding my head as I got us back on the road, I questioned.

"I thought we were allies?"

Shaking his head Hash replied.

"Soul didn't seal the deal yet. He was waiting for us to find out where they were based so he could meet in person with the old bastard."

"So the plan changes?" I wondered as he nodded.

"Oh the plan fucking changes now that they tried to kill me."

"So what do you have in mind?" I asked as he coughed again.

"I don't know. But I'm going to kill that kid."

"Your not doing anything of the sort. Your too hurt."

"I don't fucking care Vexer!" Shouted Hash in response as I calmly urged.

"Let's just see what the boss has to say when we get you back to the compound."

Not a single response was given to me after that as I looked over to see Hash with his eyes closed.

What do you think Hash is more mad about? Linux or Don Soul? Leave me a review and a hug and I'll have more up tomorrow.
