Love Struck

Chapter 18 - A lot Of Drama

Commander's POV 2:00pm

"Corporal Dark, you have been found guilty." Stated the Judge.

The crowd of people watching his trial cheered in joy as Dark himself looked with solid cold eyes. Something happened o him. He would be upset or mad right now, but he's not showing any sign of regret any sign of sadness. He's silent in his seat with his lawyer trying to explain what happened.

"Corporal Dark, your sentence will be carried out tomorrow morning. We will allow you to make any final phone calls you may want to make then I'm sorry, but that will be the last chance for any goodbyes." Stated the Judge.

I slowly stood up as the MP took Dark away back to his cell.

Me and everyone else in the courtroom exited in a calm file and went back to work as always.

I quickly walked back to my office and sat behind my desk thinking deeply.

"It's time for Echo team to make there move." I said to myself while grabbing my phone.

Keller's POV 12:00 midnight

I quickly tightened the suppresser on my MP5 and readied myself along with Walker.

"Echo." I heard my ear piece go off.

"Yes sir?" I replied.

"Mission starts now. Do it." The commander ordered.

"Roger." I replied.

I took my hand off my ear piece and looked over at Walker who was ready to go.

"Go." I ordered.

Walker and I quickly made our way to the prison entrance.

We approached the two guards manning the post and they looked at us in confusion.

"What are you two doing…!"

"Toof, Toof."

Walker and I quickly took them down with two shots to the head.

There bodies hit the floor and we took there positions by the door. I quickly took out my key card and we readied ourselves.

Walker nodded and I immediately swiped the card opening the door.

We entered fast and hard.

Three men manned the post and we aimed at them in force.

"Toof, Toof, Toof."

The three men dropped at there positions and we quickly stepped over there bodies to make our way into cell block A.

I took point as Walker watched the rear.

We made our way up the stairs that would connect us to cell block B and as we made our way down a guard waited at the end with his back towards us.

I looked at Walker as we moved towards him and waved my hand so he knew to cover me.

I slowly lowered my gun and readied my blade.

I quickly wrapped the blade around his neck and slit him silently.

He began to bleed out and I quickly grabbed him by the waist and tossed him down the stairs next to us.

He was dead and me and Walker continued.

We went up the stairs and into cell block B.

We continued the same route and went across the catwalk towards the barrier door to cell block C.

Two more men manned the post and before they could see us I tossed Walker my blade.

He caught it and readied his and mine.

I quickly put my guns to my side and walked out in front of them towards the stairwell to there side.

The guards looked at me in such confusion as I bluntly exposed myself. I started to head down the stairs and both the guards followed me until they were at the top.

Walker silently approached them and stabbed them in there necks and they both began to gag. I quickly walked back up and me and Walker pushed the two men down the stairs.

As soon as they were out of our way, Walker gave me back my blade.

I pulled out my second keycard and swiped it across and the door opened for us.

As soon as I opened the door a guard stood in front of me.

"Toof."

Walker dropped him and I caught his body and lowered it to the floor.

I nodded at Walker and we continued into the cell block.

"We need to access the top floor cells." I said quietly to Walker.

He nodded and we went for the stairs.

We started to walk up the stairs and there was a guy at the top looking down on us in surprise.

"Toof."

I shot him in the chest and he hit the ground hard.

Walker and I made it up top and I looked down at the man who was still alive. Walker waited by the exit to the next stairwell.

I aimed my MP5 at the man and pulled the trigger.

"Toof."

As soon as I pulled the trigger a guard walked in and Walker immediately grabbed him and dragged him to the stairs.

Walker managed to get his blade and insert into the guards stomach.

The man went to scream but walker held his mouth the second he stabbed him.

Walker tackled the man down the stairs and both of them went down in a tumble.

The guard was dead for sure and Walker slowly got back on his feet.

"You ok?" I asked quietly.

Walker nodded and cracked his neck in approval. Then ran up the stairs towards me.

We quickly went up to the next floor and found no one manning there posts.

The last door we need to access is past the security room then up the next flight of stairs.

We quietly approached the door leading into the security room and I looked at Walker.

He nodded and hoped over the railing next to us and began to make his way towards the window leading inside.

"Five." I heard him say quietly.

I quickly picked the lock and waited for Walker to be ready.

"I'm good." Stated walker quietly.

"Go." I ordered as I opened the door.

I entered first and two men stood in front of me playing cards.

"Toof, Toof."

I dropped them as Walker came rolling in.

"Toof, Toof, Toof."

Walker quickly dropped the last three guys and we quickly regrouped at the control panel.

"All these guards were playing cards. What good workers." Stated Walker.

I nodded and quickly looked through the buttons on the panel.

"You find it?" Asked Walker.

"Yeah." I replied while hitting the button.

I heard the door open and I looked at Walker.

"Come on let's move." I ordered while heading to the exit of the security room.

Walker came behind me and we made our way to the barrier door.

The door was open and we entered the stairwell and made our way up top.

As soon as we were on the top catwalk we looked out for our cell.

"Cover me." I ordered Walker as I searched for the number.

"Cell 5768."

"Cell 5769."

"Cell 5770."

I past that cell and found Cell 5771.

I tapped Walker on his shoulder and he looked at me.

"This is it. Cover me." I ordered.

He nodded and I quickly opened the cell with the master key the commander gave to us before in the briefing room.

I slowly opened the cell and found our target laying on his bed.

I quickly approached him.

I put my hand on his shoulder and began to shake him.

He opened his eyes and looked at me.

He immediately backed up against the wall in fear.

"Calm down. We're here to help you." I told him.

He quickly relaxed himself.

"Who are you?" He asked.

"I'm Captain Keller and this is Sergeant Walker." I replied.

"Why are you here?" He asked.

"To get you out of here." I replied.

"Why?" He asked again.

"Because you'll die otherwise. Now are you coming with us or not?" I asked.

He slowly got away from the wall and stood up next to me.

"I have questions." He stated.

"You allow us to get you out of here and we will answer all your questions." I replied.

He nodded and I took his arm and we began to make our way back to the main entrance.

Our target saw all the men we killed.

"Who do you work for?" He asked.

"G.U.N." I replied.

He was shocked and confused but continued to follow us without a problem.

We quickly exited the prison then we made our way towards a car we had parked outside of the base.

We shoved our target inside and I jumped in the driver's seat as Walker stayed in back with the target.

I immediately drove down the road towards the target building.

Once we were there we parked and exited the car and took the target's arm once again.

"Where are we?" He asked.

"Doesn't matter." I replied while getting the door.

The three of us entered the building and went to the office on the second floor.

"Knock!"

We waited for it to open.

The door opened and Kevin stood before us.

"Good job boss." He stated as we entered the room.

"Thanks, where is he?" I asked.

"He went to make the last call, he'll be back shortly." Replied Kevin.

I nodded and took a seat.

"What's going on?" Asked our target.

"We saved your life so you can continue working for G.U.N." I replied.

"I'm sentenced to death! How can I continue working!" He shouted.

"You'll see." I stated.

The target gave up and took a seat next to me and waited.

I slowly looked at him.

"Don't worry Dark." I said.

He looked at me in confusion.

"I promise you won't get screwed." I stated.

He slowly looked away.

"We killed a lot of our own men today; I hope it was worth it." I thought to myself.

We all looked towards the door once we heard it crack open.

Dark looked in shock as the commander came in.

"You!" He shouted in anger.

"Allow me to explain myself." He stated as he approached us.

Shadow's POV 12:00 midnight

It's been an hour since I left Amy and Nexus alone.

After what I did I don't know if I will ever be able to look at them again.

"What did I do? Why was I like that?" I asked myself.

I'm just walking the streets trying to find a reason to what I've done.

My whole body hurts and my sole hurts even worse.

I don't know what to do anymore. I lost Dark, I lost Amy, and I'm sorry to say it but I think I lost myself as well.

"Hey!" I heard someone shout at me.

I looked over to my left and there was this guy in an alley looking at me.

I stopped and stared at him waiting for a proper reason for me not to leave.

"You look upset man. You ok?" He asked.

I started to walk off and the man quickly came to my side.

He was a fox. Pure orange with yellow eyes

"Is there something you want?" I asked him.

"I'm just wondering what's wrong." He replied.

"You should watch yourself when you ask things like that." I stated.

"I'm just a nice guy is all. I'm sympatric." He stated back.

I didn't reply.

"Hey how about we get to know each other a bit better. How about I get you a drink?" He asked.

"I've had enough to drink sorry." I replied.

"Come on just one." He begged.

I couldn't make this fox out and I felt like shit so I finally gave into his kindness.

"Where to?" I asked.

The fox smiled and took the lead next to me.

"I know a great place to get a drink man. Follow me." He replied.

I nodded and began to follow him towards a bar near the outskirts of the city.

This place was far out and no one inside but the bartender.

The fox and me sat at the bar and he ordered a couple of beers.

We both popped open our drinks and took a few chugs.

"So what wrong with you hedgey?" He asked.

I took another gulp of my beer and rested it on the counter next to his.

"My names Shadow." I stated.

"I'm sorry Shadow I didn't mean to be rude. I'm Allen." He replied.

"Well Allen, I don't think my life is anything you have to be worried about." I stated.

"Well, I bought the drinks and if you were a women I would expect to get laid, but you're a dude so at the least tell me what's up." He stated.

"Just girl troubles." I replied.

Allen slowly nodded his head.

"I understand man. My wife was a real bitch till she died. I've been through all that shit before. Love and lost." He stated.

"This girl isn't my girlfriend or wife. We're just co-workers and I like her a lot, but I think I did something that might have scared her off." I replied.

"What did you do?" Asked Allen.

"In short; I was someone I wasn't normally." I stated.

Allen looked at me as if he understood.

"You upset?" He asked.

"Of course." I replied.

"I got just the thing to make you all better." He stated while going into his pocket.

I watched as Allen pulled out a small packet of white powder.

"What's that?" I asked.

"Grade A cocaine." He replied while popping the bag open.

My eyes widened as I began to realize this Allen guy was a drug dealer.

"This stuff will make you forget." He stated.

I've never done drugs in my life.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I'm Allen." He replied.

"I mean what are you trying to do?" I asked.

"I'm trying to help you Shadow. Trust me man this stuff works." He stated as he began to line up the cocaine on the table.

I watched as he set up three lines for us.

I knew if I did this it would cost me.

"How much?" I asked.

"This is a sample Shadow. You try it and if you want more I'll be more then glad to help you out." Replied Allen.

I looked at the lines in deep thought.

My life sucks right now and I do feel like crap. As if nothing can help me. Maybe this will clear my mind.

I looked at Allen and he was waiting for me.

I slowly lowered my head and put my finger on my left nostril and used my right to snort up the first line.

As soon as the first line was all gone I immediately raised my head up in such a rush.

The cocaine was like a mega wake up call. My head began to rush as my brain began to pulse violently. My nose was on fire, but my feeling had gone from pure anger and sadness to a happy alive hedgehog.

I quickly looked at Allen who was smiling at me.

"How was it?" He asked.

I didn't reply I just went in for the second row then the third.

Allen looked at me in shock.

"I guess you like it huh?" He said.

I looked at him with a white nose and replied.

"How much?"

Allen smiled and went into his pocket to pull out a huge supply of the stuff.

"For another one of those sample packets it will be twenty and if you want a this bag it will cost fifty." He stated.

Right when he said fifty I remembered I had fifty dollars from when Cole gave me it to give to Dark.

"I'm sorry Allen, but I'm saving my money for something else." I stated.

"I'm sure we can work something out." Replied Allen.

"How about you give it to me?" I offered.

"For free? No: sorry Shadow, but I need something in return for this blow." He replied.

I immediately went into my back and pulled out my M9 and pointed it at his head.

"I don't think you understand. Give it to me!" I shouted at him.

Allen panicked and dropped the bag on the floor.

"Wo! Calm down Shadow!" He shouted back in fear for his life.

I slowly bent over while holding Allen in place and picked up the bag of cocaine.

"Just put the gun away man!" He shouted.

"Who's the suppler?!" I asked.

"I'm my own business man!" He replied.

I can't have Allen coming for me later and since he's his own business I won't have to worry about any back up.

I slowly put the bag in my pocket and lowered my gun.

"You're lucky I won't kill you." I stated as I began to look away.

"And you'll be lucky to survive this!" Shouted Allen as he went for his gun he had under his jacket.

I immediately turned and before Allen could get the gun up I turned it on him and pulled the trigger.

"BANG!"

The round went into his stomach and I kept going.

"BANG! BANG! BANG!"

I shot more into his stomach and he fell down dead.

I threw his gun at his body and turned back around towards the exit.

I bashed through the door and back into the street.

I immediately ran off. The cocaine felt so good. Killing Allen didn't even faze me.

I ran through the dark city towards the building where this all started. I ran up the stairs until I reached the top. I opened the door to the roof and walked out beneath the stars.

The binoculars were still on the ground broken from before when I stepped on them.

I immediately kicked them off the roof in a hyper attitude. The drugs were making me so wild.

I quickly looked around at the buildings at the stars at everything. I was someone different.

"AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHH!" I screamed into the night sky as loud as I could.

I fell to my knees and lowered my head. I slowly began to growl and show my teeth. I was possessed it seemed like.

I began to drool down my face as my energy got the better of me. I quickly wiped my face and walked towards the edge of the roof. I looked at the capital and all the lights were out. I quickly looked at my watch and it was 1:30.

I took a seat on the edge of the roof and pulled out the bag of cocaine. I quickly popped it open and smelt the insanity brewing within me.
