I'm Out
"He cut off our communcation with base." Messner said dropping the back of her head to the ground. There was silence as Samual tossed the radio, "We're fucked! he already knew!" he shouted. Messner held her breath for awhile.
"We need to get to jeep. He's out there watching." Samuals said looking at Messner who nodded. "The radios are fucked, we need to get Ludlowe."
Samuals rolled onto his stomach, "On my count Messner, We'll run for Ludlowe." Messner nodded, "When your ready." she said taking deep breathes. "One.. Two..THREE!"
One shot echoed as they hit the ground beside Ludlowe. Messner felt the sharp pain burn through her left shoulder, "Urgh! FUCK I'M HIT!", Samuals examined Messner's shoulder. "It's a clean hit. Through and through." Messner bit down on her lip. "What happened to communication?" asked Ludlowe as he took off a layer of his shirt to wrap Messner's shoulder.
"It's... been hacked." mumbled Messner holding back the tears and the scream that was building up in her chest. Ludlowe exhaled turning off the radio. "Our only chance is the jeep." sajd Samuals peeking over the grass to see the jeep afew hundred yards away. "We can make it in one good run.", Messner breathed heavily. "Messner you can make it." said Samuals looking at her wound.
"The keys are in my right pocket." Messner said sliding over to Samuals' reach. He pulled out the keys, "When your ready."
Messner took a long breath as she rolled to her side, "Ready." With Ludlowe's help they were up again. Shots were fired again but not warning shots. They jumped into the jeep as more rounds were fired, Messner could hear the fire getting closer as she layed herself in the back seat. "What happened to Craig!" Shouted Ludlowe, "Son of bitch set this up. He came at me so I shot him." Messner shouted back as the jeep jerked into gear. The rear window shattered. Messner reached for her glock. She cocked it back when the jeep suddenly flipped.
Her head pounded, back sore, shoulder throbbing. She opened her eyes to see they were upside down. Shattered glass and papers every where. Ludlowe was still, Samuals grunting in pain. She reached for the selt belt and began to pull herself to the side door. Peices of glass scraped her hands and knees. The muscule in her right arm was beginning to tighten from pulling her weight. Her glock laid ahead of her, the clip was lost in the rubble.
"Messner?" , "Here?" she uttered as Samuals too began to pull himself to the front window as an exit. "Ludlowe?" she asked, no answer. Samuals crawled over to Ludlowe's side, "There's a pulse." he assured her. Messner smiled with relief as she began to crawl to the door.
She stopped, "Quiet, someone's coming." she hissed. Samuals layed still in response.
"Looks like she survived." She heard as a pair of boots came into view. Whoever it was, He was alone and had a radio ear peice. Suddenly a pair of hands reached in and dragged her out. She screamed as the person carelessly pulled up her shoulders. "Confirmed, She's been hit. Left Shoulder bullet wound." he reported.
Messner felt that her legs would not hold her up, He let go dropping her with a thud. She looked up, "Barsad." she mumbled. He chuckled as he saw the glock in her hand. "Seems you lost the clip Agent Messner." he said still smiling back at saw that he and his sniper's rifle around his shoulder, He caught her eye "No need to worry. I'm out" he assured her with a grin, "She's alive." he reported then stepped forward. At that second Messner fired one shot to his left leg, "There's always one in the chamber asshole."
Samuals was up and at her side within seconds. "Ludlowe's gone. Come on Messner we need to clear out of here." Messner nodded watching and seeing Barsad hold his leg but continued to smile back at her. "Go ahead and run. I'll see you again." he said as Samuals walked over and punched him repeatedly until Barsad was out.
They walked the ten miles until a patrol car found them. Messner's other team went back the same night for Warren and Ludlowe. At the end of the week they flew back to the U.S. Messner was off the case.
Now here they were in Gotham City. Taking everyone hostage. Messner stared out the window when she heard the front door open and closed silently, They found her. She didn't move as they sound of boots found they're way behind her.
"Agent Messner?" Messner smiled recognizing the voice.
"Hello Barsad. How's the leg?" she asked
"Oh it doesn't give me too much trouble, How's the shoulder?" he asked
"It ain't too bad."
