Chapter 18

Double Agent Reprise

Cell Block Main Room

Leon huffed as he cranked the carjack slowly open and pushed the doors open and he peered into the room seeing the room filled with smoke. He slowly walked through the smoke gun in hand and looked back at the sobbing woman and threw her a concerned glance before proceeding through the Cell Block with the mourning woman lazily tailing him. He stopped however at the loud below of a man nearby shouting distinctly the word 'Sheva'. Both Leon and Andrea stood at attention and quickly marched toward the voice. They both recognized as Chris.

Then they saw him. Slumped down on the floor in a pool of blood and a large B.O.W laid down on the floor, a few feet away. Chris looked over his shoulder and pointed his gun at his two comrades before saying the blondes name. "Leon?"

Andrea gasped as she noticed Sheva unconscious on Chris lap. She approached the body with speed and plopped down across from Chris and examined the body of Sheva Alomar. She eyes shut and facial feature scrunched up into a pained expression. Her delicate hands laid softly on her gaping wound. "This needs to be treated soon." Andrea stated looking up at Chris and Leon who were now standing and looking down at the creature. "I need to bring her to the infirmary or a clinic. This is a serious wound, If I don't treat it soon she'll bleed out."

"What do you want to do?" Leon asked Andrea.

"Her lungs are filled with smoke, when need to get her out and go to the nearest hospital. We don't wanna give her cancer in addition to a nasty injury like this." Andrea stated as she looked around, she then continued . "I need to get her down the elevator shaft, you guys have to go up and get Naomi, Gaston and Keran." Andrea said as she took off her mask and threw it to Chris.

"How are you going to get her out of here with an injury like that." Leon questioned.

"Let me worry about that. Go and find them and get them out. If their on the upper levels they might not have much time." Andrea said as she shooed the men away and they left, using the emergency staircase.

Holding Cell

The punches never stopped. No matter how hard she cried out. No matter how sincere her begs were. The punches seemed that they would never stop. Keran huffed as the tall African man mercilessly beat him as Naomi hollered out in sobs. The man stood in front of the heavily abused face of Keran and stopped his torments. The man who had identified himself as Jiki paused and spoke in laboured breath.

"Your one tough son of bitch. Even being as scrawny as that." Jiki said with a heavy English accent as he approached his tray of implements and picked up a cloth which he used to wipe of the blood from his hands. "I need a break and I believe that a 'friend' of yourself wishes to speak with you."

Jiki exited and allowed the light to peer into the room as their missing comrade appeared in front of them wearing a malicious grin. Gaston smiled at them and spoke harshly "I hope Jiki treated you well."

"Gaston?" Naomi voice questioned amongst her sobbing. "Why are you here?"

Gaston sighed and pulled up a chair sitting next to Keran. "Tell me, Naomi. Have you heard of the term 'Double Agent'" Gaston spoke as he revealed his true motives. He then turned toward Keran and spoke to him with a sadistic smile gracing his face. "How about you, pipsqueak?"

Keran bit his lip in frustration. Then, Naomi called out to Gaston. "Why are you doing this?"

The question caused Gaston to freeze for a second then, turn to face Naomi. "Revenge. Revenge for what your government took from me. For the lives that they've taken. For the innocents they've killed for nothing. For my wife. For Patrice Coleman." Gaston face grew stern as he begun his rant.

"This is to repay a dept to a woman who saved my life and to earn my revenge on the country that starved me, tortured me and accused me of being a killer. Then, on top of that. MURDERED MY WIFE IN FRONT OF MY OWN FUCKING EYES!" Gaston screamed at them but, soon regain his calmness before speaking to Keran and offering his hand. "Hi, my name is Martin Coleman. I used to be a pharmacist from New Jersey. Now, I'm a terrorist, who was in deep cover for the last 4 years. I'm currently a member of the Paribara Terrorist group. And I'm gonna bring America to it's knees for my wife. Starting with you and you're group."

Gaston grinned and stood, walking to the torturer's table and taking a heated pipe from the table and turning to them. "I'm thinking you need a break, Keran." Gaston said turning a walking towards Naomi. Keran's eyes widened and he yelled loudly. "NO! GET THE HELL AWAY FROM HER!"

But, Keran's pleas didn't sway Gaston. Gaston positioned himself behind her and held the iron bar near her neck. Gaston then started his rant and spoke in sadistic tone. "I once knew this woman... Her name was Alyson Wheatman. She was beautiful, truly gorgeous. She looked alot like that friend of yours, Andrea." He gazed down at his feet before whispering to himself. "I'm gonna enjoy killing her. But, that's besides that. You see, Alyson enjoyed to torture. I've grown to be quite the fan myself. But, Alyson liked to count. She would make you beg and do anything she wanted. And, all she did was count to 3. It's silly, really. But, It's works wonders. So, let me try it. 1..."

"What do you want me to do?!" Keran yelled.

"I want you to know the pain. People like yourself inflict. I want to see your face as you realize that someone had taken away all you've ever loved! So...2... and finally 3!" He said as he lightly pressed the bar against Naomi's neck earning a scream from her. As the heat burnt her neck. But, he was interrupted by a powerful force pushing him away from the pained Naomi.

Leon entered the room and began to fight Gaston. Leon landed swift and strong punches upon the unsuspecting man. Before, Gaston realized it, Leon has landed a paralysing punch on his jaw line effectively knocking him out-cold. Chris entered the room as well. Limping from his leg injury. He quickly untied Naomi and Keran. Keran immediately stood and held the sobbing Naomi as she teared up and cried shakily.

"I'd hate to ruin this touching moment but, we need to leave now. The building is on fire." Chris yelled.

"What?" Naomi said turning towards the two men. Chris attempt to respond but, was interrupted by the sound of gun fire in the distance. Chris rushed out of the room and got to a security monitor where he saw a BSAA squad deploying near the building outdoors. He re-entered and spoke clearly.

"It's the BSAA! We need to get out and get to them. They'll get us to safety."

"What about Gaston?" Keran asked.

"Let's leave him here. We need to hurry, they could be moving out at anytime."

"I agree." Chris said before the group headed out to the exterior of the museum.

Exterior of Museum

Andrea huffed as she lugged the unconscious Sheva across the museum exterior. Andrea looked down at her expensive blouse now drenched with blood. She gasps as a B.O.W approached Andrea and she slowly tried to escape but, the creature advanced but, a bullet shot past her head and the creature fell down besides her. Andrea's eyes peered forward to see the shooter to see a African man dressed in the traditional BSAA attire. He lowered his gun and his eyes opened wide as he ran towards Andrea.

"Sheva!" The man spoke.

"Do you know her?" Andrea asked.

"I work with her. Let me bring her to the chopper so, I can bring to our outpost." The man said as Andrea gently passed Sheva to the man.

"What's your name?" Andrea asked as she and the man ran closer to the group of soldiers.

"I'm Josh. Josh Stone." They reached the helicopter and they placed Sheva on a gurney.

"I'm Andrea. Listen, we have some people who are still in that building they should be coming back soon."

"They have a half hour before we have to pull out." Josh responded.

"I can help you guys out." Andrea said.

"How?" Josh asked.

"I can help you medic and mix herbs to help her guys out in an emergency. If it gets hairy, I'm a good shot if you give me a weapon." Andrea proposed.

"Fine but, if your friends aren't back soon we'll have to leave without them." He said passing a 9ml pistol to her.

Soon, Chris and his group limped out of Museum to find Josh and Andrea fight the creature's approaching the B.O.W's coming close. "Chris?!" Josh said as Chris neared the groups position. "Are you the people Andrea and Sheva are waiting for."

"Yes but, we have injured." Chris responded

"We can do what we can in the chopper, then treat them properly at the outpost outside the city." Josh stated before yelling out to his troops. "Alright men. Let's go!"

The BSAA squad then started to evacuate the city and flew out to the outpost where, The team would prepare for their next mission. The Kiunguza tribe. Where they'll learn even more shocking secrets and face their most difficult of foes. And, endanger their lives even more.
