Chapter Two - Search

A siren went off for the end of the exercise. James, Conor and Gabrielle stayed at the training hut to wait for the instructors and the other trainees.

Mr Large arrived 5 minutes later with Ms Smoke, Shakeel and Mo. Wheres Kerry asked James? Mr Speaks is looking for her, no ones seen her since Conor shot her.

Half an hour later Mr Speaks came running through the door. They've got her shouted Mr Speaks. Who,s got her asked Mr Large. There,s 6 of them. They captured Kerry and their keeping her hostage.

4 of them were spreading out looking for us. Who's spread out looking for us! screamed Mr Large. I saw Kyle Blueman, Dave Moss and Amy Collins spreading out I couldn't tell who the other girl was. Who was guarding Kerry asked James.

Nicole Eddison and Bruce Norris they all obviously want revenge. Are they armed? asked Mr Large. Yes all of them have paintball guns, stun grenades and paint grenades.

Ok we'll all search for the people that are searching for us. Capture them and bring them back here. James go with Conor and Gabrielle. Shakeel and Mo you go with Ms Smoke. Mr Speaks come with me.

James, Conor and Gabrielle grabbed a couple of extra rounds of ammo and went out to search for enemy. They'd decided to go to the far corner of the compound near the ditches.

It wasn't long till they found somebody, Dave came around the corner at a run and shot James twice in the leg. He fell down in pain. Dave then threw a stun grenade. There was a second before the grenade exploded. Gabrielle screamed. Once the light came back to normal James looked around Gabrielle and Dave were gone.

Gabrielle kicked and punched trying to get out of Dave's grip. It was useless he was to strong. They walked for about 10 minutes. Dave finally stopped when they got to the corner of the compound near the ditches. They tied her up next to Kerry and put a rubber gag in her mouth.

Where winning now said Dave. Mr Large will give them so many punishment laps and where going to get 50 pounds each said bruce. Gabrielle didn't get it why would Mr Large give them punishment laps or the enemy money when he was on their team. The trainees will be so pissed said Nicole. I hope they run right out of the compound said Dave.

Where did Gabrielle go asked Conor. Dave must have got her said James. Do you know which way he went said Conor. No said James but I think he went back the way he came. They ran around the corner but Dave was back. He shot at Conor's head but he ducked just in time.

James ran over and kicked Dave in the back of the leg. Dave stumbled James then kicked the gun out of his gun while Conor finished him off with a kick to the temple.

What should we do with him asked James. He'll be to heavy to carry back to the training hut so let's just leave him here. They started running along the path again until they heard bullets being fired about 200 metres away. They ran in that direction and found Ms Smoke lying on the ground. She was covered in bullet wounds.

Shakeel and Mo were fighting Amy and a girl called Dana that he had seen on campus a couple of times before he started training. James and Conor ran up to help and shot at Dana hitting her in the back and leg. She fell down and Mo shot her in the back of the head.

Amy didn't ant to stay around with James, Conor, Shakeel and Mo all pointing guns at her. She sprinted off away towards the ditches. Let's tie Dana up said Shakeel. How said James we don't have any rope. Yes we do said Mo we got it out of Ms Smoke's backpack. As soon as Dana and Amy saw she turned around and started shooting at us.

When Amy and Dana started shooting at us we dodged them and they smashed into Ms Smoke. We then finished her off stole the rope from her bag. So we should tie her up said Conor. Definetly said James.

After they'd tied Ms Smoke and Dana up they continued to search for Gabrielle and Kerry. James hadn't slept for more than 24 hours and was so tired but he also wanted to find Kerry so much.

Gabrielle saw Amy running back to the base. They've shot down Dave and Dana said Amy where losing numbers to quickly. No your not said a Mr Large coming out from behind a bus followed by Mr Speaks. Reinforcements have come.

What thought Gabrielle. This must have been a set up. The trainees were out numbered now.
