Owen laid out his plan for them, barely able to contain his excitement. The plan involved hitting the DuValls before they had a chance to hit the former campers. Owen had somehow learned that the DuValls base was in the warehouse district; in the warehouse right next to the one in which Katie and Sadie were held captive, to be more precise. He had also learned that they left the place unguarded. His plan was to infiltrate the building and kill the assassins.

"It's a good plan Owen, but it'll be risky." said Duncan, after Owen had finished.

"I realize that, but we have to try." said Owen, looking Duncan in the eye.

"I agree." said Izzy. "We owe it to those we have lost to at least try. If we don't, then we might as well just kill ourselves, it'll be the same thing."

"Alright, we'll give it a shot." said Duncan. "But, and I can't stress this point enough, if things go wrong we get out. There's no sense in playing the hero when you're about to be killed."

"Agreed." said Owen. "Alright, so who's going?"

"Your plan dude, you choose." said Duncan.

Owen considered for several minutes before making his first choice. "Izzy." he said.

"No surprise there." said Chris, with a half smile.

"Shut up." said Owen. "I also choose Eva, Noah, Ezekiel, Cody, Tyler, and Geoff."

"Okay, sounds good." said Duncan. "But I have to ask, why didn't you choose me?"

"Because, you've gotten to go out and do recon already." said Owen. "Also, we need you to stay behind, in case they attack here again. You are our best chance at avoiding another massacre."

Duncan nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Gwen, Chef, Chris, Courtney, Lindsey, Beth, Sadie, LeShawna, Abigail, and I will stay here and hold down the fort."

Owen nodded. "Alright troops, let's move out." he said, motioning to his task force.

"Wait, we're doing this now?" asked Noah, cocking one eyebrow.

"Yes." said Owen. "What, you wanna wait until hell freezes over or something? The sooner we get this done, the better."

"I was just checking, that's all. You don't have to bite my head off." said Noah. After hesitating a moment, Owen moved out, followed by Izzy, Geoff, Eva, Ezekiel, Noah, Cody, and Tyler.

"Good luck." Gwen shouted, as they left. "Please come back whole." she added, once they were out of earshot.

Owen lead his task force down to the warehouse district. Night had fallen and they moved silently, blending in with the shadows. They arrived at the warehouse district to find it still and silent. It seemed as if the area had been completely abandoned. Izzy moved slightly ahead of the others, keeping her sharp eyes peeled for the first sign of danger. But nothing came.

"Okay, this is starting to freak me out." whispered Ezekiel. "There doesn't seem to be anyone here."

"Oh, they're here, we just haven't found 'em." said Izzy.

"How do you know that, eh?" Ezekiel asked.

"I just do." Izzy answered, flashing an evil grin at him.

"Zeke, E-Scope, would you shut up!" whispered Owen. "We're trying to be sneaky here."

"Sorry, honey." said Izzy, with another smile.

Just then a pair of floodlights came on, bathing them all in white hot light. "Shit." said Izzy. She froze, as did the others. They waited for a few seconds, but nothing happened. After a minute or so the lights shut back off.

"Must've been a motion sensor or something." said Eva. Owen nodded and they moved forward, reaching the DuVall's warehouse a few minutes later.

"This is it." whispered Owen, staring up at the imposing building.

"How can you tell, these buildings all look the same?" asked Tyler.

"Duncan said the warehouse where Katie and Sadie were held was number 254." said Owen. "The numbers go east to west, and the DuVall's is to the east, so 253 would be theirs." He pointed to the building's number, etched just above the door. Tyler nodded.

"Let's go in." said Eva, walking up to the door.

"Eva, wait, we should-" BOOM! A shotgun blast threw Eva back from the door before Noah could finish his sentence. "Eva, are you alright?" he asked, rushing to her side.

"Yeah. I heard the gun cock just in time." she said.

The door opened and Dorian walked out, flanked by two guards. He was followed by Brenden and Aneka and several more guards. He smiled at them as he walked out, and Brenden inclined his head to show greeting. Aneka seemed to ignore them completely.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Cody asked, pointing at Dorian. "This is their place, not yours."

"Yes, but they work for me, so I am welcome at their 'place', you called it, any time I wish to come." Dorian replied. "And it is rude to point, boy."

"Get bent." said Cody. "I don't care what's rude or not when it comes to you."

"Oh really." said Dorian. "Well that's too bad Cody. You see, I was hoping to have a little chat with the lot of you. Thanks to your good friend Thomas, we knew you were coming, and we were hoping to avoid any unnecessary bloodshed."

"Thomas isn't our friend." said Ezekiel. "He betrayed us to work for you. And since when do you care about avoiding unnecessary bloodshed? Wasn't spilling Gwen's blood unnecessary? Or Noah's? Or any of our other friends who you've killed?"

"Yeah, and what makes you think we wanna chat anyway?" asked Tyler. "You're our enemy, not our 'let's have tea and crumpets' buddy."

"Pity." said Dorian. He looked at the DuValls and said, "Kill them."

"With pleasure." said Brenden. "Hope you like painful deaths." he added, advancing towards the campers.

"Wouldn't know, haven't died." said Tyler, sidestepping Brenden's attack.

The fight began in the former campers favor, as they quickly took out Dorian's guards. But things turned bad in a hurry. "Ha, this is all you got, old man?" Ezekiel shouted. "These assassins ain't so tough. I could-" A blade cleanly sliced through his throat, ending his sentence. He fell to the ground, dead.

"You were saying, maggot." Brenden laughed, as he moved away from Ezekiel's body.

"You bastard!" Owen shouted, throwing himself at Brenden.

Meanwhile, Eva was engaged in silent combat with Aneka. The two traded blows for several minutes, Eva even drawing blood, before Aneka plunged one of her daggers into Eva's heart.

"EVA!" Noah screamed, as she fell back, dead. He charged Aneka, but she melted into the shadows, avoiding his capture.

More guards joined the fight, and Izzy, Tyler, Cody, and Geoff all took multiple gunshots. Owen bull rushed the oncoming guards and began pounding them into the ground. One guard got off a wild shot, that somehow struck Owen in the back of the head. Seeing this, Izzy, against her better judgment, obeyed Duncan's order and sounded the retreat. Though wounded, she and Geoff managed to gather Owen and Ezekiel's bodies and the badly injured Cody and Tyler. Noah grabbed Eva's body and they ran. The guards pursued them, firing in an attempt to kill more. A bullet hit Geoff in the shoulder, causing him to drop Ezekiel's body. Geoff tried to grab him but Izzy shouted, "Leave him, we'll come back for him later. Just keep running." Geoff obeyed and they arrived back at the hotel to find the others waiting for them.

A/N: Okay, so I know many of you who read this fic are getting a little annoyed with me for killing off your favorite characters and I'm fair certian more of you will be pissed after reading this, so let me explain myself. I kill characters because it is neccessary to do so and I kill fan favorites because doing so illicites the kind of reactions I've gotten from many of you. For a story to have stakes, characters must die, or at least be put in situations where they could die. Death is a part of life and it's something we all have to accept, even with fictional characters. However, if this explaianation does not satisfy you, keep in mind that I killed Gwen and Noah, only to bring them back, so the same result may hold true for the others.
