Secrets

Chapter 16

"Saving your life? When did I do that?" I'm incredulous. When did I save her life, what is she talking about?

"Back there. At the facility. When those soldiers attacked us. You leaped out of the plane and I thought they would kill you, lack of weapon and all. So I jumped out after you. When I saw how quuck your reflexes were I realized that I had made a mistake." She slowly gets to the point.

"You were blocking almost every bullet with your sword. And then I saw one level his gun at me. I took him down where he stood but there were a lot of them......" she keeps talking describing it in such vivid detail that it feels like I'm there.

I jumped to the next one, running him through. Another one bites the dust. I leap again, lifting off from the ground and spinning a full turn in the air landing at the same angle I began, decapitating another as I do so. My sword flies faster than the eye can see and deflects every bullet in reach. I move closer and closer to my target until I'm on top of him and he's gone. I turn and punch one closing on me, he staggers and I stop him with my blade. Permanently.

Flashing like a star in the night my sword moves from foe to foe, cutting them down without looking back. No remorse. At one point I'm disarmed by some prick with a heavy gun. He hits my arm causing me to lose my grip, the sword goes flying. I punch him, bring my knee to his face and slam my fist into it again. As he staggers backward I jump over him, turning in the air, and hit the back of his neck, snapping it.

Suddenly I'm back to reality.

"Those first few were the ones trying to kill me. Without you I couldn't have taken them all. So thanks." Carlee smiles and flounces off. She stops and comes back. Thoughtfully, "How are you that fast anyway? It's almost super human the way you deflected everything that flew at you."

"I.... I don't know. I don't know." I say. Pondering how I do it.

"Well goodnight."

"Night."

I immediately sit down at my computer and look up my file. A big red CLASSIFIED sits across the top. I check the classification, Level 8. Not even the commander is level 8. The only person on base who has clearance like that is Lamarr, but he has to know about people to do his job.

I need to check more into this later. Now I'm tired.
