Matthew looked around the car park and the petrol station where deserted. He looked at Laura and smiled at her this was it the time to make the plan work. He nodded at her and the two ran across the car park.
Alexandra and Samantha looked around they had reached the town centre they looked nervous as they stood at a junction there was a whistling sound and Samantha fell on the floor there was an arrow in the side of head. Alexandra screamed as another arrow speed from the blackness. Alexandra fell to the ground with an arrow through her heart. Chelsea looked from her hiding place in the train station car park.
"Too easy." She said softly.
Matthew had started to fill up the petrol canisters he had sent Laura behind the petrol station to look for more containers. He wished that the pumps didn't make so much noise but it was a risk he was going to take.
"Ok I nearly done Laura just two more to" Matthew stopped midsentence and looked down at his leg there was a crossbow bolt sticking out of his leg. "Monumental fuck!" he whispered as he looked where it could have come from something glisten in the darkness. Matthew ducked and threw himself on the floor. "Get out of here!" he shouted to Laura.
Laura screamed as she saw the hail of fire and she ducked behind the petrol station shop. "Matthew!" she cried.
"Get the fuck out of here!" he screamed!"
Bradley emerged out of the shadows. He walked towards Matthew who was scrambling away. Bradley opened fire again.
Chelsea who was busy searching the bags of Alexandra and Samantha had. She heard the gunfire nearby and gasped the gunfire was close but not close enough for her to be completely worried. A small explosion happened just over her head. There was a hole in a wall Caroline was standing in the middle of the road. Chelsea grabbed her bow and arrows and fired an arrow towards her.
The arrow missed Chelsea cursed as she fired again and missed but started to move towards her. She knew that if she got close enough it would be an easier kill and the riot gun (Caroline's weapon) took a few seconds to reload and fire.
Chelsea screamed and charged at Caroline she fired again but thanks to Caroline's athleticism she avoided the bow again. Chelsea threw herself on top of Caroline knocking her over and the riot gun out her hand. The two girls rolled around the floor.
Laura was wishing she could help Matthew as another hail of bullets tore through the petrol station. Matthew was hiding behind a concrete pillar. He pulled his pistol out of his blazer and spun around the pillar and opened fire on Bradley.
"Die you scum!" Matthew shouted as Bradley moved out of the way of his shots and opened fire. Matthew was hit a few times and he fell to the ground he looked down part of his right foot had been blown off Matthew felt sick and the pain was nearly unbearable he looked down again his chest was pouring with blood.
"Matthew!" cried Laura as she saw him lying on the floor.
"Run!" he screamed as Bradley walked towards him. In the fire fight some of the petrol pumps had been hit and were leaking petrol everywhere.
"Your scum Asagba come and finish me off like a man if that is possible!" Matthew growled.
Laura started to back off she didn't want to leave Matthew but she was terrified fear had overtaken her.
In the town centre Caroline and Chelsea where still fighting Caroline was being slapped by Chelsea.
"Fucking bitch! I'm going to win this game!" screamed Chelsea!
"The hell you are I'm going to win!" snarled Caroline.
Matthew watched as Bradley walked towards him. Bradley reloaded the gun that was what Matthew was waiting for. He took the matches which he had from the kitchen and one of the petrol canisters he threw the canister at Bradley covering in petrol and light the match and then put it in the box.
"Fire in the hole fucker!" Matthew snarled as he stood up and hobbled away as fast as he could. Bradley looked at the match box which seemed to go in slow motion.
Bradley went up in a fireball he screamed as he fell forwards into the petrol which was around his feet the entire petrol station blew up.
Matthew was blown forwards by the explosion about thirty feet he crashed onto the car park.
The explosion made Chelsea look towards where it had come from Caroline gabbed her riot gun and fired directly at Chelsea head. Caroline was covered in bit of brain, blood and bone as Chelsea's body fell to the floor. Caroline gasped she knew that she was lucky she survived that but now that one of the players was down. She though about investigating the explosion but though against it others would be drawn there and that could be fatal for her.
"God Damn what the hell was that?" shouted Andy as the explosion light up the sky nearby.
"I don't know but what ever it was we ain't investigating it I got three blips on the tracer one ain't moving and two are heading towards us!" growled Dave.
"If there's two they will be friendly!" Scarlett butted in.
"Christ you two are going to be the death of me!" snarled Dave but he knew Scarlett was right.
Laura had found Matthew lying on the car park badly wounded from the explosion as well as all the wounds he had got from taking out Bradley. She was carrying him with resting over her shoulder.
"I'm so sorry Laura I let you down and look at me I'm a mess!" Matthew moaned softly he knew that was dying and he knew that he had failed to protect Laura.
"It's ok Matthew I know you did your best did you get him?" she asked.
"Yeah I got him" Matthew smiled at Laura. "Hey stop here listen I want you to know something. I love you so much and I will always be here for you but I am not going to make it I want you to take this" He handed her his gun. "And listen Laura please don't cry." Laura's eyes were filled with tears. "Find some of the others who are not playing and join up with them and see if you can make it out of here all together." Laura held his hand as Matthew started to shake. "Hold me" he said softly as his eyes closed for the last time.
"No Matthew no!" cried Laura she gasped as she heard a shotgun being cocked. And three torches shone on her. It was Dave, Andy and Scarlett.
