Thank you for all the reviews guys I really appreciate it. I know your wondering what happened after the cliff-hanger in the last chapter so ill get on with the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own the series.
Kell
Cams POV
'Move backwards, don't make a sound, don't run or Ill kill you, got it?' the voice behind me hissed. It didn't take me long to realise that this girl was nowhere near COC level, in fact I was positive she was just some gang girl. But still going backwards was a much better idea then going forwards into the COC's guns or her knife.
'I said, GOT IT?' she hissed again, louder this time. I nodded slowly. Then started moving backwards as she moved her hand away from my mouth and the dagger moved to press against my back. As the floor started to get a steady decline I realise that what id thought to be a small alley between the buildings actually was an entrance to a cellar of sorts. When the alley widened out into a dusty room, only a couple of meters across, cobwebs hung in the corners and lining the room was half a dozen thin, scratty looking children between nine and fifteen. I felt a pang of sympathy for them, they looked as though they had even less to eat then I had over the past few days, which was sad because I had food just no time in which to eat it but these kids seemed to be the opposite.
'Who's the kid?'
'You can't bring in more kids Kell, we don't have enough food as it is'
'Why's she here'
'Where did you find her?'
The questions filled the room along with edgy, whispered murmurings. But one look from the girl that was still grabbing my arm and apparently called Kell and they silenced.
'She's not staying! I found here creeping round the entrance so dragged her down here.' She glared at me 'what are you doing down here anyway?'
'Got lost' I said keeping it simple and partly true, but she still gave me a sceptical look.
She glared at me for a minuet more before saying 'your from jimmy's gang aint you'
'No' I replied simply, I swung my backpack off my bag and bent to open it, but her rusty knife found my throat again, I was getting tired of this so I spun on my heal and within the blink of an eye I had her pined to the floor, her knife slid across the floor. There was a gasp of surprise from the kids lining the wall, the indecision of wanting to help her weighed up with my obvious training in fighting. But I kept my eyes on Kell who had a look of shock and fear in her eyes, I hadn't meant to scare her that much so I let her go saying 'stop it with the knife already I'm not going to hurt anyone, and you're the one that brought me down here anyway.' I smiled sadly at her then grabbed my bag. I chucked a couple of bread rolls at the kids who fell on them like ravenous wolves.
'I have to go' I said grabbing my bag 'you should too, get away from this town if you go further south maybe you can get more food.' I was slightly worried that the COC would find this place, and them.
Before I could reach the door a man jumped through the gap, followed by four others all in single file, the searchlights atop there guns seemed to piece the darkness sweeping over the kids, I pushed off the wall and ambushed the guy at the back slamming his head against the wall, as he fell the others span round but realising that in the small room it wasn't possible to shoot without hitting each other they resorted to hand to hand combat. The palm of a hand shot forward and I blocked spun and high kicked him in the stomach he fell backwards into someone behind him. The kids ran fleeing up the alley I twisted to shout at them to stop. If the COC were out there…. I didn't even get to finish the thought as my back hit the wall, I focused my attention back on the agents heal kicking one in the head I slapped a Napotine on another. There was just one left as I launched myself at one he dodged and caught my hand twisting it behind my back I let out a cry of pain. A rag that reeked of chloroform smoothed me. I struggled but as I grew weaker I knew I would lose this fight. I blacked out.
Someone was shaking me awake, I jumped into a defensive crouch but she said 'calm down girl, it's just me.' I blinked, and focused on Kell. 'I brained him from behind' she said grinning and holding up her knife which she'd hit him with. I laughed.
'I'm starting to like you' I said with a grin.
'Who are you?' she asked but as I sighed and gave her a sad look she nodded understanding that I couldn't tell her. 'I always thought the government had secret spies, but I never thought they'd be kids!' I let out another laugh
'Come on, we need to leave' I said urgency in my voice. She nodded again and came with me, I checked to see if it was clear but the five agents must have not told the others about the alley because the street was deserted. The other street kids had scattered and I told her to do the same.
'Can't I come with you?' she pleaded
'No, that was nothing, ill be on the run constantly for months and you haven't been trained to cope with that much less the fighting' and with that I walked away, hoping she would understand.
Remember to review please. Where do you think she should go next? Should she hide out in Canada? Or battle her way into the heart of the COC?
