Love Struck
Chapter 162 – Stop F**king Running!
Raptor's POV
"Run! Run! Run and don't fucking stop!" I told myself as I got down using a stairwell on top of one of the roofs.
Looking down as I ran I saw the blood of the hedgehog who I destroyed back there. Something clicked but I kept going. I had to keep going or they would get in my way of killing Reacher.
"Aghhhh! Aghhhh! Aghhhh!" I took huge breaths still feeling from that fight and as soon as I found the exit I broke through the door to find a large truck parked outside waiting for me.
"There he is!" Shouted one of the soldiers as I looked to my left.
In seconds I bolted off.
"Stop Raptor!" Ordered the soldier as they chased after me.
I had to reach the boarder of this city or at least lose these soldiers till I can go peacefully.
Hannon's POV
"Sir we found Raptor! He's going down king street, heading south, south west!" Stated one of the squads as we drove.
"Go on Anvil road Sargent! We'll lead him to the boarder!" I ordered as I went back to my comm.
"Is Ghost and Archer still in pursuit!?" I asked as the squad replied.
"We haven't seen them sir!"
Feeling confusion of where they were I ordered.
"Just stay on his tail and use the Humvee to cut off every street till Anvil, got me!?"
"Yes sir!" He replied as I focused back on my current objective.
In a few seconds the Sargent made a hard turn onto Anvil street and looked back at me as we stopped in the center of the road.
"You three get out and cover the alleys and doors! I don't want Raptor entering anywhere else but continuing to make his way down straight!"
My men nodded and got out and quickly I looked at the Sargent.
"Turn the truck around and wait for him! Once Raptor makes the turn on this street push him down the road! Got me!?" I asked as he replied.
"Where's Alpha sir!?"
"I have them lined up somewhere special for stopping Raptor!" I replied as we focused back on the road.
Raptor's POV
The truck was behind me as I ran as fast as I could. The men followed behind trying to stop me. "They had guns but wouldn't shoot me, why?" I asked myself as I saw a smaller road I would use to lose these men.
Running as hard as I could I crossed over pass the truck to see the road was a dead end.
"Shit!" I shouted as another truck waited there.
I took a quick look around to see all the alleys were blocked by soldiers I had to find another way.
"STOP RAPTOR!" Ordered one of the men in the truck as I turned to run.
Ignoring him I booked my way down the street.
Looking back in fear two trucks followed with foot soldiers still in pursuit behind me.
Looking all around I saw an alley. "Thank god this is a large city." I said to myself as I ran down it forcing the trucks to go around.
Looking around the alley it was a complete dead end both ways. The trucks would just wait for me on the other side, I had to do something different.
Looking under my feet I rested on a manhole.
Using all my strength I lifted it up and began to climb down.
As fast as I could I covered myself again with the cover to this stink hole and leaped down into the stench.
Covering my mouth from the smell I ran along the sides hoping I wouldn't fall into the waste.
I had to find another way back up into the streets but this should lose those men for now.
Ghost's POV
Archer ran behind me as we followed Raptor from the rooftops.
We saw Hannon had cut him off from running away down into another escape and we followed as he continued to funnel him down the main road.
In time of our roof jumping we saw Raptor enter an alley again.
Reaching the edge of the roof we looked down to see him gone.
"Where did he go!?" Asked Archer as the soliders who were on him looked up at us.
"Ghost! Where did he go!?" They asked as I replied.
"He has to be hiding!"
"Where!?" Asked the soldiers as I noticed there was no doors into any of the buildings.
"The sewer!" I shouted as they looked at me.
"What!?" Asked Archer as I replied.
"He used the man hole there! We have to get down there!" I stated as Archer replied.
"I didn't sign up for this!"
With a smile I replied.
"You did the day you came back!"
Archer looked at me stumped as I pushed him towards the fire escape.
Looking at the soldiers as we went down I ordered them to inform Hannon.
As they did that, me and Archer popped up the hatch to the sewer and went down into the filth this city had beneath it.
Hannon's POV
"What!?" I shouted as I heard the news.
Quickly I went for Alpha.
"Alpha 4-0, Raptor is in the sewers making his way to you!"
"Got it covered sir don't worry!" The leader replied as we drove for their position.
Raptor's POV
"Fuck this is horrible!" I shouted as I ran through the stink.
As I ran still barely on anything I began to feel woozy. I think it's from my eye.
I had to stop.
Falling down along the green wall I took a large breath of shit and tried to recover some energy.
As I took breath I was thinking about something weird.
"Shouldn't I be able to taste this when it comes in my mouth?"
Slowly I went to stick out my tongue but I panicked the second nothing did.
"WHAT THE FUCK!" I screamed as I saw some of it was missing.
"AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HH!"
Blood poured along the tile as Reacher laughed.
"Now no one will hear you beg as my men do their worst!"
In tears the men got me up and picked up my tongue.
With widened eyes the men shoved it in my mouth.
Feeling sick I wanted to puke, but was cut off as a rag was applied to hold it all there.
I began to cry and in seconds of them tying it as tight as possible I was sent back to the ground.
"Get his hands and feet!"
I opened my eyes to see the sewers again. That fucking monster did this to me! I...I can't believe this!
Feeling the anger grab hold again I ran off for the nearest exit from this shit hole.
Ghost's POV
"God this smells like shit!" Stated Archer as we ran through the river of crap.
"Just keep going! Raptor is nearly at the boarder!" I stated as we found a small trail of blood along the floor.
I pointed as we ran and Archer saw it and knew to follow behind as we were going to be led right to him.
"It's getting close to the end Archer! Just hold on!" I said as we saw a turn where the blood went around.
As we got closer I went hard for the turn to widen my eyes in surprise.
"Peek a boo, motherfucker! BASH!"
Raptor sent his fist directly at me and it drilled me straight between the eyes.
Archer immediately stopped as I was sent rolling into the river of waste.
"Ghost!" He shouted as I laid face first in the brown water.
Archer's POV
I stared into Raptor's eyes as he stared back in anger. He was completely different.
"Please stop Raptor!" I begged as he came forward ready to fight.
"Why are you chasing me!?" He asked as I readied myself.
Raptor looked at me sideways and shouted.
"You won't tell me!? Then I'll just beat it out of you!"
I widened my eyes as he swung his right fist at me.
In reaction I stopped it with my left forearm and swung with my right. Raptor saw it coming and released his arm to grab mine in force.
I was caught off guard as he turned around and pulled me over his back slamming my side into the wet dirty ground under him.
He still held my arm and in all his power he twisted it to the side.
"AGHHHH!" I screamed as he pulled.
He was trying to break it.
Using my legs I swung them around towards him and placed my feet on his chest.
"GET THE FUCK OFF ME!" I ordered as I pushed him off the ledge and down into the river of brown trash.
In pain I stood up and ran at him jumping off the ledge and bringing up my knee connecting it to his chin.
"Bash!"
Raptor was sent upward from the blow and down on his back amongst the remains as I grabbed him from behind.
In anger I got him up on his feet and just as I was about to swing I was drilled by his elbow to the stomach.
"Ughhh!" I gagged as he kicked out my feet.
I panicked as I was airborne and in a split second he flipped me using my left arm and down I went into the waste under him.
Letting go, Raptor went to run but Ghost cut him off.
Slowly I got up to see him swing.
Raptor quickly ducked and in a musical rhythm he slicked around his head and elbowed him in the side of the temple.
Ghost never expected that as I got up and I watched as he hit the side of his head on the ledge.
"Stop!" I ordered Raptor as he looked back at me.
In anger he grabbed a floating pipe from the river and came at me.
He swung and I jumped back letting it miss and the second time he came back I stopped his arm and turned the pipe around.
Raptor widened his eyes as I stole it and sent the blunt edge onto his skull.
I watched in shock of what I just did and Raptor stumbled back with a bloody forehead as the pipe remained in my hand.
In a complete dumbfound expression I let Raptor get close and take the pipe from my hand.
I was still shocked as he swung at me drilling it to the side of my eye.
"SMASH!"
Turning my head to the right from the power the pipe brought I looked back to see it coming again
"BASH!"
This time he hit my other side and in return sent my head to the other direction.
I was dazzled and he raised it.
"SMACK!"
I was instantly dropped to the waste.
Raptor's POV
"Fatality bitch!" I shouted at the downed hedgehog as I dropped the pipe back into the waste.
Looking back at the ladder I was going to use I slowly made for it.
Grabbing the steel bars and slowly going up I was shocked when I felt my leg get grabbed from under me.
"Raptor!" Shouted the black hedgehog with the gold eyes as I looked down at him.
"Fucking stay down!" I ordered as I sent my boot into his mouth.
The hedgehog released my leg and fell back unable to move.
I took a deep breath and quickly climbed up to the manhole.
Using all I had left I pushed it up and sent it aside.
Hannon's POV
All my men waited for Raptor at the boarder sewer holes. He wasn't getting away.
We had every manhole covered for when he wanted to get out of there. When he shows his face will stop this nonsense for good. I can't let this happen.
A few minutes went, when out of no where the gate to the boarder had opened.
We all looked back to see Raptor by the switch.
"STOP HIM!" I ordered as we all booked it for the gate.
Raptor made haste and quickly ran through the gate and into the last stretch of the city before the desert.
"How the hell did he get by us!?" I asked as we got the Humvees after him.
Ghost's POV
Blood sailed along my face and the side of my head as I slowly got back up to see Raptor escape through the hole.
"Get up Ghost." I told myself in my head as I got back on my feet.
"Archer!" I shouted his name in hopes of a response.
Looking around I found him down in the waste.
"ARCHER!" I screamed as he looked to be out cold.
Immediately I got him up and watched as the waste poured out from his mouth.
He didn't move and I had to keep going.
Getting us both on the ledge I rolled him on his back and saw he was extremely beaten down by something blunt. His skull was cracked and he was losing blood.
"Archer!" I begged for him to open his eyes as he breathed.
Slowly giving me a sign he stared at me and replied.
"Ghost?!"
"Come on we have to keep going!" I stated as he tried to grab my side.
Helping him up he asked.
"Where did he go?!"
"He went up here!" I replied as I let him climb up first.
Archer was barely hanging on as we forced our way forward.
As soon as he was up I came behind him and took a look around.
"Where are we?" Asked Archer as he felt his head.
"That smart son of a bitch exited through the complex!" I stated as we were in the sewer station.
Archer nodded and quickly I grabbed him to run for the door that was already open.
Still following the blood but a bit slower from our beatings we saw Raptor had used the back road to reach the boarder gate.
As we got closer we saw Raptor hitting the gate switch.
Picking up the pace Archer and I ran for him.
Gaining distance Raptor ran out the gate and into the slums of the city. We had to stop him before he reached the desert that was less then three miles out now.
Raptor's POV
I finally made it out of the boarder to find I was making the last push. All I saw was slums. Shity houses for the unfortunate. It would be a lot easier to escape now.
Blood dripped down my head from both my eye and the cut from the pipe I was struck with and I was running on stem.
Looking back I saw trucks behind me.
I can't believe they are still chasing me!
"I had to end this chase somehow, but how!?" I asked as I looked around the area.
I found the tightest space possible and began to run through the people who rested on the cold ground.
I looked back in fear to see the trucks stop.
Hannon's POV
"FUCKER!" I shouted as Raptor forced us to ditch the Humvees.
"Alpha! Cut him off at the edge of the desert! And someone get Shadow on the comm!" I ordered as my radio operator called in.
"Zulu 2-9 to base!?"
"Base here!"
"I need to speak to the Commander now!"
"One sec!"
In about twenty seconds Shadow came on.
"What is it? Did you stop him yet Hannon?"
"No sir! Raptor slipped into the slums, I'm requesting helicopter gunship support!" I replied as my men ran after Raptor.
Shadow went silent then replied.
"Super 6-7 is spinning up and on it's way General. Make sure you don't kill him." Pleaded Shadow as I replied.
"We won't! Thank you sir!"
Letting the comm go I looked back at the driver and ordered him to head to the edge of the desert.
Raptor isn't getting away.
Ghost's POV
"Come on Archer! Hang in there!" I pleaded as he limped behind me.
"I'm right behind you!" He shouted back as we followed Raptor along the sides of the slum buildings.
As we ran we heard our boys on the other side chasing right behind him. The only problem is where is he?
As we debated what to do next in means of finding him I caught a glimpse of Raptor entering another building.
"This way Archer!" I ordered as we approached.
He fell in behind as I charged the bottom floor door.
"BASH!"
My body was sent through the door knocking it down and in hype I looked around the smelly house to see no one.
"Come on out right now Raptor!" I demanded as things went quiet.
Archer came in behind me to look about as well and slowly I stepped forward into the living room.
As we listened we heard foot steps.
"Stop fucking around!" I ordered him as it came closer.
Archer and me readied ourselves as they were within walking distance.
The sound was killing us and just as I was about to knock him out we saw what was making it.
Turning the corner was a dog.
Archer and me lowered our guards as it stared at us with dirty eyes filled of sand and mud.
"Woof!"
I smiled as the dog came towards us and in a relief I looked back up.
"Think fast!"
The second my eyes refocused upward I saw a two by four swinging at my head.
"BASH!"
Expect another two chapter a day tomorrow as well just so everyone knows.
Ps thank you for guest reviews. I'm happy your taking the time to let me know what you think.
