Chapter 7: Leaving the Hellhole

O-O-O

Run.

That's all the twins could do now, run. They had no choice, Mabel had killed the CSF officer, the worst thing you could do is murder one of the CSF, no matter what you try to say, that it was justified self-defense, even with evidence of that it didn't matter, killing one of CSF meant they would ALL come after you, every single member of CSF in the entire town will want to hunt you down and put every single bullet they have in your skull. And now that an officer was murdered, the CSF would organize a manhunt to hunt down the ones responsible for the murder, the ones being Dipper and Mabel, and give them the punishment they always gave to murderers, death.

Mabel didn't want to kill the officer, but it was going to be either him or her brother, and she would never sacrifice her brother and best friend, not after all these years, always sticking by each other, even before birth, she wouldn't just let her brother die like that, and Dipper understood that because he would have done the same.

With their quick sprinting, the twins managed to get to their house, and at the porch was Wendy waiting for the twins, who quickly ran up to the twins and noticed that they looked beat up, Dipper was glad to see her and Mabel was just confused to see her, but decided to ask Dipper about her later.

"What the hell happened?" Asked Wendy worryingly to the twins. "I just heard a gunshot from here."

"Stopped by officer… It got ugly… He got shot." Said Dipper between breaths, panting from the sprint. "CSF are gonna look for us now."

Wendy just stared in shock before responding. "What the fuck!" She exclaimed angrily. "Why did you kill him!?"

"I killed him, not Dipper." Said Mabel, not panting as much as Dipper. "But that asshole was going to kill Dipper. He was strangling him on the ground and-

"And you took his gun and shot him, right?" Asked Wendy angrily.

"Yes. But-

Wendy stared at Mabel with a sharp glare. "You couldn't have just knocked him out or pull his gun out on him and say, I have a gun, get off of Dipper. He would have listened."

"I-I panicked, okay!? Dipper was dying right in front of me and I… I didn't have time to think, I just shot him like that, and Dipper was going to die if I didn't." Said Mabel, almost on the verge of tears.

"Do you realize what you've just done?! Now the CSF are gonna hunt us all down!" Exclaimed Wendy and just shook her head and sighed. "You know what, we'll talk about this later. Right now, we need to get the hell out of here." Said Wendy, no longer wanting to waste time in this argument.

"Wait, what about Stan and Soos? You said we were going to wait for them here." Asked Dipper.

Wendy just sighed morbidly. "That was going to be part of plan A, sneaking out of here. But since you two decided to get in trouble with the law, we'll have to go with plan B, run."

Dipper looked at Wendy wide-eyed. "So we're just going leave them?"

"No, no. We'll find them along the way." Assured Wendy. "The problem with that is breaking out when the entire town is looking for us, so it's possible we might not be able to bring them with us if CSF catch up."

"Shit." Dipper mumbled to himself, knowing that Wendy had a point.

With the entire CSF in the town alert, it wouldn't take long for Dipper, Mabel, and Wendy to be found by them, since the CSF were organizing a manhunt as they spoke, and they had a reputation of quickly apprehending their targets so moving now would be best, but the twins had to get some things before they left.

"Can we at least get something from our house? It'll only be a few seconds, I promise." Pleaded Dipper.

"Fine, just hurry up. CSF will be here soon." Said Wendy as the twins ran inside their home, leaving Wendy to keep watch for any CSF coming towards them.

The twins quickly ran up to their room, knowing that they could only carry so much, the twins took their most prized possessions with them, Dipper's being the number three journal that he had been using as a journal for himself on the blank pages, and Mabel took something from the drawer that she quickly hid in her pocket, while Dipper hid his journal inside his hoodie. The twins took a few seconds to look at their room, knowing that it would be the last time they would see it, and left as quickly as they came to Wendy, who was still looking at every direction for Sleg police.

"Okay, where do we go now?" Asked Dipper to Wendy as she looked at every direction around her, trying to figure out where to go from here.

"We go left from here, and then we make a right at the end of the block, straight towards that road." Said Wendy pointing out the direction to go. "Let's go."

Wendy ran left, the twins following close behind as they heard a new announcement from the speakers.

"ATTENTION. TOWN OA-243 IS NOW ON ALERT LEVEL THREE. ALL CITIZENS ARE REQUIRED TO STAY IN THEIR HOMES UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. ANY CITIZEN WHO DISOBEYS THEIR ORDERS WILL BE MARKED AS A THREAT AND WILL BE DEALT WITH ACCORDINGLY BY CSF PERSONAL. THANK YOU."

"Alert level three? It was only one guy." Said Dipper, surprised at how quick the Slegs found out about the dead officer and how high the level was.

"Gravity Falls is a stone's throw away from the Black Citadel. They won't take any chances with it around." Explained Wendy as the three companions reached the end of the block.

Wendy could then see lights from the distance, two vehicles were approaching on the road straight down where the group was at. The vehicles were APCs, they had the appearance of a modern light APC used by human SWAT, but they were colored mainly black with white lettering of "CSF" on their sides, they built with a slimmer and sleek design than normal APCs, with two front wheels and back wheels, showing that these APCs were made more for speed and quick transport rather than combat, but they were good for defense for the Sleg SWAT teams despite having no weapons attached to it.

Not only that, but the CSF had air support as well, above the APCs was a Sleg helicopter, Also painted black and had white lettering on its sides, the chopper had the appearance of a human SWAT helicopter, but like the APC, it was built with a slimmer and sleek design than human helicopters, it had a large spotlight under it so it could see well in the dark, and it looked like it was built more for speed and searching for enemies rather than killing them, helping out CSF ground forces with their search.

Wendy signaled the twins to hide behind a house close by the left as the three ran as quickly as they could to the side of the house, hiding behind the house walls, the twins feeling fear rush inside them, hoping that they were not spotted already by the CSF. Wendy peeked from the edge to spot the APCs, who were moments away from the groups hiding spot, but to their relief, the APCs turned right on the road, unaware of the group's presence while the chopper shined its light on the house the SWAT were going to rather than where the group was hiding at.

As they stopped at the twin's house, the APCs began unloading the SWAT teams it transported, all armed with sub-machine guns similar in appearance to an MP5k, all looking ready to raid the house and gun down anyone inside, the same house the group just escaped a few moments ago as the teams moved into formation to breach.

"Damn. Too close." Whispered Dipper, looking at the SWAT team already breaching the house.

"Let's go. They won't be distracted for long." Said Wendy as she signaled the twins to follow her lead, moving back towards the sidewalk and sprinted as fast as possible, the SWAT teams too occupied with their raid, and the group just ran down the sidewalk to wherever Wendy was leading the twins.

O-O-O

The twins couldn't believe this was happening now, running away from their home that CSF were searching by now, avoiding cops so they wouldn't get shot, and being led to escape from Gravity Falls by Wendy, who they haven't seen for eight years, while trying to find Soos and Stan along the way, if they could. The twins would have seen the two by now, since Soos and Stan usually take this route down to work and come back from, yet they haven't seen them at all, and that wasn't just because it was dark outside.

The group moved more quietly now, not wanting to attract any unwanted attention as they slowly moved on the sidewalk, blending in with the darkness of the clouded night so they wouldn't be spotted easily, hearing sirens wail from the distance, helicopters whir in the sky, hiding from the more frequent CSF foot patrols and chopper spotlights that occasionally passed, and even avoiding checkpoints made by SWAT on certain areas of the road. This made the group extra cautious now, since CSF already knew that they were somewhere in the town and not at their home, so stealth played a key factor to the group's survival and escape.

The feeling of being hunted already started to sink into the group, always nervous about what's at every corner, if they were being watched or not, the fears of being found increased with every second, it was madness in Gravity Falls. While Wendy was already used to that sort of thing, she worried more about the twins in that matter, since they've never been in this situation before, being pursued by others who want nothing more than to kill you would make anyone scared, especially if this was the first time someone felt that, so Wendy made sure to keep a close eye on the twins, not wanting them to panic from the tension and dread going on now.

As the group quietly sneaked around in the cover of darkness, they spotted two figures and froze in place, hoping that they were not spotted. When they looked ahead, two figures they saw were speed walking, as if they were in a rush to get home, one looked quite chubby while the other more shambled, which meant that the figures were not Slegs. The twins took a closer look at the two figures and recognized the two figures, Soos and Stan. Relieved that they were okay, the twins waved to them, getting their attention and signaled them to come towards them, while Wendy looked around the area to see if anyone else was around to see them, while she was relieved to see Soos and Stan, she was more concerned about getting everyone out alive and wanted to rush out of town before CSF catch on to them.

"Dudes?" Called out Soos, quite confused to see the twins outside as he and Stan walked up to them. "What are you two doing here?"

"We're here to find you two, and we have a visitor with us." Said Mabel pointing to Wendy next to Dipper, making Soos shocked to see her while Stan didn't really seem to react as much.

"Look guys, as much as I want to catch up, we need to go now." Said Wendy as she rapidly walked ahead of everyone else. "We'll talk when we get out."

"Wait, Wendy don't-

But Wendy was already at the end of the block, ignoring Soos calling out to her since she was more busy trying to scout out for CSF, only to find two CSF Gecken officers right over to the left where she was looking and spotted her and her group, making the red head curse under her breath for her slip up.

"Hey, stop where you are!" Called out one of the officers as they both got out their batons and ran towards Wendy.

The rest of the group could only watch as the two officers made their way towards Wendy, who put her fists up and prepared for a fight.

"Come 'on you fuckers! Let's see what you got." Taunted Wendy as the Geckens charged at her.

The first officer swinged his baton at Wendy's head hoping to knock her out cold, but Wendy dodged the attack by quickly stepping to left, the second officer tried the same tactic as the first but was delivered a swift kick to the stomach by Wendy before he could swing his baton, knocking him back but not too hurt because of the vest he wore underneath his uniform. The first officer tried hitting Wendy at her back this time but failed when the red head turned to grab the officer's hand, engaging in a struggle for the weapon.

Wendy wanted to end this fight quick, having no desire to stay in Gravity Falls anymore, so she twisted the officer's hand, making him drop his baton from the sharp pain of the twist. Wendy grabbed the baton from the ground, dodging the second officer's swing from his baton by ducking, and used the baton to hit him in his knee, causing the officer to go down on one knee in pain. The first officer pulled out his gun with his untwisted hand, but Wendy managed to knock out the gun from his grip with a hit from her baton, and then swiftly wacked the officer on the side of his left face, using enough force to knock him down on the ground and break his jaw, clenching the side of his face in pain. The second officer tried to hit Wendy from behind as well, but she gave the officer a roundhouse kick to his head, knocking him out cold from the sudden force, and Wendy finished off the already downed officer with the broken jaw, giving him one last blow to the head with his own baton, knocking him unconscious as well.

When the fight was over, Wendy dropped threw the baton on the ground, not needing it for anything else and searched the officers for anything useful, while everyone else just stared at Wendy in awe from her display of her fighting skills.

"Holy shit." Said Dipper, amazed at how Wendy took down two CSF officers with her bare hands. "I know you're a good fighter but…Wow."

"I picked up a lot of skills over the years." Said Wendy, grabbing the gun from the officer she kicked in the face along with any pistol clips. "What you saw was only one of them."

Wendy then walked over to the street, picking up the other pistol she kicked away from another officer, and walked over to the group with a pistol in each hand, along with a few pistol clips she put in her vest.

Wendy gave Dipper one of the pistols. "Only use it for emergencies."

Dipper nodded and put away the gun behind his pants, hiding it under his hoodie while Wendy handed the other gun to Soos, along with the other pistol clips she scavenged.

"I was trying to warn you about that." Said Soos, wanting to finish his sentence from before about the CSF officers. "Those guys were following us home ever since the announcement from earlier. I think they were going do something to us."

Wendy took a quick glance at the two unconscious officers before looking back at Soos.

"Well, they won't do anything now." Quipped Wendy.

"Are we leaving?" Asked Stan, wondering if what was going on was really happening.

Wendy patted Stan on his shoulder out of sympathy, knowing well about his condition. "Yeah we are, old man. Now let's get out of here before they wake up."

The group complied with Wendy and followed her, leaving the two officers behind as they left the scene. The group was glad that everyone was back together again, but before they can catch up on old times, they had to escape Gravity Falls first, and hoped that their reunion wouldn't end at the same place where it started.

And this hope would help them keep going.
