Note from teh Writer: This is basically filler. Sorry 'bout it, but I love when Griffin gets his hands dirty and fights so I had to have it again. Anyhoo. Two more chapters. I hope everyone's enjoying this lovely "Limited Run" as I'm calling it. Lol. And the art of Penny should be done soon and linked on my profile so watch for it. And now...on with it!!
Chapter 21: Bludgeon [G]
Griffin hid around the building's corner. He knew they'd sense any jump so he had to think...and fast. He glanced around, hoping to find something close to a weapon. Nothing. He was not having the best luck today. Fuck it, he thought. He jumped, ending up inside, in front of the door. The man and woman turned, shock sticks at the ready. First to shoot was the woman, who missed by a few inches. Griffin jumped behind the woman as he punched, hitting her in the back of the head followed by a kick to behind the knees. The woman fell forward and he kicked her again in the back. She cried out in pain as the man shocked Griffin. Twice in the side.
Griffin winced and stumbled as he threw his arm out, trying to hit the man. His swing was weak and the man didn't budge. Griffin tried to jump and ended up next to the man. Grabbing his arm, he made the Paladin man shock himself. The man seized in pain and dropped to the floor. Well, that's two.
But he heard the woman getting up with a groan. He turned and saw her clutching her head where he hit her. Griffin jumped in front of her with the shock stick he held onto and gave her a god shock in the face. Okay, NOW that's two.
He held onto the shock stick as he heard footsteps. Sounded like at least two or three more Paladins. He was surprised when only one rounded the corner. The Paladin man shot a tether at Griffin. It latched onto Griffin's left leg. He winced and fell, but yanked hard with his leg, pulling down the man. Quickly Griffin pulled the tether off and jumped to the side of the man. He shocked him, but in return the man sharply shocked Griffin behind the knee. Griffin fell as he whacked the shock stick tube onto the top of the man's head. The man went limp and blood was on the stick Griffin used as a bludgeon. He shook his head as he stood. And then he heard it. The shock stick dropping from his hand at the sound. That fateful scream from his dream.
