Part 17
Noises of excitement and wild laughter were getting closer and closer towards Paladin Hawkin. "This is Hawkin, requesting immediate back up! Nikita! Jones! Get over here to the Media Archive, we are being overrun by raiders! Requesting immediate back up NOW!" Hawkin spoke into her radio, but no replies can be heard from it. Then rapid loud bangs can be heard from the door, followed by laughters and a voice spoke to them, "come out, my Brothers… we promise we won't hurt you. We will only FUCKING CUT YOUR GUTS OUT! AHAHAHA!" and more laughers can be heard through the gaps of the door. Paladin laid her finger on the trigger, ready to fire as soon as the door breaks down. "this is taking too long, get the fuck out of the way." Said one of the raiders, and with the sound of a shotgun being fired, the lock was blasted right through and the door was opened.
Paladin Hawkin squeezed her finger on the trigger tightly and red beams of light was shot to the door's direction. The group of raiders were squeezed into a bottleneck as the door way was very narrow within the bathroom, however, there were too many of them, after the first two raiders was shot down, the third raider jumped off from their bodies and smashed Hawkin's helmet with a sledge hammer. Hawkins laid on the floor as the result of the hard blow, right next to Parker, she turned around to face the raider as he raised the sledge hammer over his shoulders and was ready to give the final blow. Hawkin closed her eyes tight, expecting a painful death. Suddenly, Hawkin felt warmth or even hot in her surroundings, she opened her eyes out of curiosity and to her surprise, the whole bathroom was surrounded by red hot flames, the raiders at the doorway were screaming in pain as they were covered in flames, the raider with the sledge hammer was also on fire, he swung his sledge hammer wildly, smashing over toilet doors before falling down to join his burnt comrades.
At the end of the doorway, a figure was holding a flame thrower in Hawkin's direction. Hawkin recognized the figure and she had never been happier, "Nikita!" she screamed in tears. "wipe those tears off your face, captain, we don't want to you to put out my flames, do we?" Nikita said Hawkin. As Hawkin wiped the tears off her face, she heard a grunting noise next to her, Parker had regained consciousness, "Oh god… my neck…" parker said and he looked around the bathroom full of burning bodies and asked the paladins "o…k what did I miss?" "what happened was I just saved you two your lives and you better treat me to a glass of water when we get back" said Nikita. Then Hawkin asked Nikita "where is Jones? Is he with you?" Nikita responded by simply shrugging her shoulders. Then Hawkin radioed Jones again, "Jones, this is Hawkin, the threat had been eliminated, report on your position, Jones." No sound came in through the radio, Hawkin repeated her message one more time, yet no response came through the radio, a bad feeling had stirred up Hawkin's stomach, something must have happened to him…
