Hey Guy's. So, I want this chapter to be as satisfying as possible. So I will be switching POV's between characters to cover all bases. Hope you like it!!
Ethan's POV
Dawn and I silently made our way to the waste passage. Both of us focused on the path ahead yet completely lost in our own thoughts.
We get to our destination within a few minutes, but what we find leaves us shocked and fairly confused.
"Its locked." Dawn says looking a bit frustrated.
Can't say I don't feel the same way.
"We'll just go to the control room and get it opened up." I suggest calmly.
"Shit!" She exclaims quietly. Then compiles.
"Alright, Let's go."
We just turn a left corner on the hallway when a familiar voice startles us from behind.
"Going somewhere?"
We both quickly twirl around and sigh in relief when we see who it is.
"Jesus Christ Braun!!! You scared the shit out if me!" She hisses at him in annoyance.
I on the other hand am too busy calming my beating heart, because I was seconds away from a cardiac arrest.
Braun casually replies with a small smirk on his face, seeming unfazed by her small outburst.
"You should really be more careful you know."
Then with an even bigger, and slightly wicked smirk he adds.
"I could have been the bad guy."
"Yeah whatever. Why are you here Braun? We voted you off this mission." Dawn asks, still irritated with him.
"Oh! I know that sweetheart. But I'm not here on a rescue mission." He replies coyly.
That's when I catch it. It's a sneaky and almost completely unnoticeable movement but i notice.
"Then why? You dummy" She inquires. But I guessed the answer.
And I'm already moving. Fast.
"I'm here to make sure your mission fails." And with that the throw knife I noticed him subtly pull out some seconds ago comes flying at Dawn.
It's a last second save but I crash into her moving us both out of the way and behind cover.
"It was you." I say loudly. More of a statement than a question.
"You helped them take Izzy." I add getting angrier. She loved this guys.
"Oh shut it rich boy." He snaps at me.
Dawn hasn't moved yet. I think she's in shock with what happened.
"She loves this team." I yell louder.
And as though my voice brings Dawn out of shock she asks I'm a small voice.
"Why?"
"Isn't it obvious Dawn. How could you idiots not see it? Let's just say blood really is thicker than water."
I look at Dawn confused. I watch the gears turn in her head as she puts the pieces together.
She suddenly gasps loudly, looking more pale than before.
It's a really small whisper but my ears catch it before the air carries it away, as she says,
"Jeremy."
And just like that the bullets come flying.
Elizabeth's POV
It takes me some time but I eventually get the bad Guy's off my tail.
I hear gunshots coming from the other side of the factory. I hope the guys are alright.
When I'm sure the coast is clear I emerge from my hiding spot. Only problem is I don't know where Jeremy or that scum bag brute of a spy is.
"Spencer." I call into my earpiece.
"Here captain." He answers firmly.
"Where is he." I ask. Putting in effort to prevent myself from growling just by thinking of him.
Spence has been quiet most of the mission. But he is listening. And knows what is going on.
"He's on the first level. The room with red doors." He answers immediately.
"Thanks."
I'm already making my way to the elevator.
When I get in I push the button for the first the floor. I know he has seen me. And he knows I'm coming.
I shut my eyes. Relaxing my nerves to steady my heart beat rate and breathing.
There's nothing but silence surrounding me as I prepare myself.
By the time the elevator alerts me that I am on the first level, I'm completely numb to every other thing but my rage. Good.
The doors begin to open and I could bet my legs that there's a squad waiting outside to fire. So I jump up to grip the opening on the elevator roof. Using it to pull myself up and out of sight.
As predicted the second the doors slide open rounds of bullets come flying in it's direction.
It takes them a good 30 seconds to stop firing. The second they do I slide them a present of my own, using the cover from gunpowder smoke.
The little but lethal object rolls silently towards the small party of men.
3, 2, 1. Then it goes off.
There's the sound if chocking and pained grunts. Followed closely by the sound of bodies dropping.
I drop down from the elevator roof, my face clad in a gas mask as I casually walk into the gas filled hallway, avoiding the bodies as I move.
"Armatures." I snicker.
Then a voice ahead grabs my attention.
"Not all if them."
******************
Ethan's POV
"What do you mean Jeremy?"
I yell to Dawn as we shoot back at Braun.
"The chief. Braun is related to him." She relies.
"What?! You mean the guy running your agency?" I ask.
She just nods. Then continues to mumble more to herself than me.
"How did we never see it? The resemblance, his connections, all the special favours. It was so obvious."
"I guess you figured it out Dawn. He's my father." Braun yells out from behind his cover.
"And when he asked, I picked his side in a heartbeat." He adds, probably to hurt her more.
But all he does is make her angry.
"You! You traitor! You did this to us! You killed Derek!!" She yells back angrily.
I don't know what really happened, but the next second she was out from our cover and heading towards Braun.
He just like me obviously doesn't expect the move, because he sticks his head out to probably make another smug statement.
He gets cut off and yelps in surprise and pain as Dawn grabs him. By his eye sockets.
Yes. You read correctly. She stuck her thumb and index finger in his eyes with more strength than someone her size should have. Effectively bursting his eyeballs and gripping the bone in between them.
She then proceeds to pull him closer to align her mouth with his ear with that grip, ignoring him wailing and scratching at her like a wounded animal. Which I guess he technically was.
"Go to hell." She growls in his ear. Before she puts a bullet in his head. Letting the blood splatter on her face.
When she turns back to be there was a darkness in her eyes that gave me the urge to step back. But underneath that look was a heave sadness that looked like it was crushing her. So I stood my ground.
She walked back to me. Saying nothing. So I just opened my arms to her. She wasted no time flinging herself into me. Griping me tightly as she broke down in tears.
I just held her.
When she sobered up enough, she just stood on her toes and pecked my cheek. Then mumbled a small 'thank you'.
We got the door opened and made it outside.
Now we all wait. Hoping Izzy makes it back to us.
