No PDF yet, I will be posting chapter 9 later today as well and maybe even chapter 10 tonight. Just passed 10,000 word mark too!
Chapter Eight: Night Show
When the sun set and the moon began rising, Yuri became increasingly worried about Victor. He hadn?t been seen since Great View. Yuri couldn?t help but think Victor got himself involved and might be dead. After a long meeting with the regional manager for this area he learned the Detective Agency owned an abandoned apartment complex a few hours away. Yuri ordered a squad of about 8 men to go investigate the complex and search for clues. If they found any trace of Victor then they were to report it to him immediately. After the squad left he ordered Anthony to go catch up. Anthony showed a brief expression of disagreement and then it was gone. He left a few minutes later and Yuri was finally alone. He went to the woods and made a phone call. ?I want contact with Traitors Cult established as soon as possible. Offer them any amount they want and give them any information on the investigation. We need them to finish off the Detective Agency and leave us alone. Besides, we can take them down later and get our money back?.
Another tunnel that no one knew about was created when the special operations team was established. This was now their exit route and they made sure the place was rigged to blow. The tunnel would take them about two miles away where they could exit and escape via humvees. The group of five were given more ammo and supplies. They were told that they would be leaving very soon and had to help plant explosives. Finally, the hour of departure arrived and everyone finished gathering their gear and began a steady jog down the new tunnel. It only took about ten minutes for everyone to reach the end of the tunnel. Stan and SJ struggled since they weren?t trained soldiers. Victor was carried by two strong members of the special operations team. After everyone had exited the tunnel they detonated the explosives. A small mushroom erupted in the distance. The secret base was not made to withstand explosions on the inside. The tunnel soon collapsed completely by them. Everyone split up into four humvees and drove off. They used the explosion and a few delayed ones scattered in the forest to disguise their escape. There was no resistance when driving down the road. Christian was in the third humvee while the Larry?s group was in the fourth. Victor was just waking up and looked outside the back window. Somewhere out in the distance he spotted the glare of something in the distance. In a few seconds he realized there shouldn?t be anything like that in a tree let alone the fact that glare is commonly seen from recon or sniper units. As he screamed get down, another explosion went off. The first humvee ran into a IED. The truck was immediately set ablaze in bright flames. Then a gunshot sounded and the driver of the second humvee was taken out. All three vehicles came to a stop and the men inside the second vehicle got out to return fire. On the radio the fourth vehicle's driver got the order to continue with the objective and leave them behind. Larry turned back to see Christian giving orders to his men while under fire. Stan was paralyzed. He began seeing flashes of scenes from Great View. These were triggered by the sound of the sniper shots that matched the one used in Great View. PTSD is no joke and Stan was no exception to it. Stan was forced to relive the moments of gore and violence while his body began to convulse in a seizure. Angel and SJ quickly held Stan down as he struggled to break free. Larry was intent on getting them away safely and did not look back for anything, including Stan. Victor still laid in the back where he couldn?t help anyone. They continued down the road for hours. About five minutes after it started, Stan?s seizure ended and he passed out. He did not wake up until a few hours later. When he did wake up, everyone was still inside the humvee and Larry was driving around looking for a gas station. Larry was informed to practice radio silence in case of emergency before they left the secret base. They would not be learning of Christians fate anytime soon. Down the road Angel pointed out a gas station that wasn?t to busy. After parking at a pump Larry began gassing the vehicle while Angel and SJ rushed inside for supplies. People watched the group carefully with curious yet suspicious eyes. Soldiers were a common sight from time to time but they still freaked people out. Some people started talking about the injured inside the humvee. Others began to speculate on why they were here and how they got injured. No one confronted them but many took pictures. Angel and SJ came back with snack bars, water bottles, and some bandages. Larry finished filling the gas tank and everyone got in to leave. Just as Angel was climbing in, she was pulled back and dragged away by two men. Larry ordered SJ to stay put and protect the humvee. Larry then grabbed his gun and jumped out to chase after Angel. Behind the gas station he saw the two men hovering over Angel who was unconscious. The men looked middle-aged and smell of strong alcohol. Both had ragged clothes and walked barefoot. ?Get away from her and I will let you go unhurt? shouted Larry. They ignored him and reached down to start pulling off Angel?s gear. Larry didn?t miss a second. He fired two warning shots at the ground near them and waited for them to stop. Once again they ignored him. That was the final straw, Larry shot both of them in the legs and walked over. He kicked both of them in the rib cage and then picked up Angel and brought her back to the humvee. SJ got out and moved to the front while Larry placed Angel in the back. He knew something had to be done and so he asked SJ to find a hospital and then they drove off.
