10 Progress

Will woke up, startled as ever, to find Felix shaking him awake, "Get up. You have yet to shoot your gun."

With squinted eyes, Will sat up in his sleeping bag and stumbled over to where Felix was standing.

"Now remember what I said yesterday," Felix said, handing Will the gun.

Will made sure that everything was good before he cocked the gun and aimed. And this time, Will pulled the trigger. It had more recoil than he had anticipated and had sent Will stumbling back. Felix patted Will's shoulder, "Better this time, but try to hold your ground and don't wince."

Will tried again, and this time he managed to nick one of the targets. They worked on it some more until Felix suggested, "How about we work on your punches?"

"We couldn't have started with that?"

"I needed to know you had balls. And besides, hard stuff first."

He showed Will different combos, proper technique, and how to play defense. Many of the moves he showed Will were how to disarm someone, and use their weapons against them. It wasn't easy, and Felix wasn't letting up. At the end of the session, Will lied on his back, letting his body tell him he just got his ass handed to him.

"We leave in ten minutes," Felix said as he passed Will.

Will caught up with the group at the plane. When he arrived, Felix pulled him aside, "You know that if LZ said anything else, you can tell me."

There was a moment's silence. Will's guilt built up and swelled, it was bad before, but it got even worse. Will answered with a sigh, "LZ said that if I don't tell him everything I find about the treasure and you, then he's gonna do something to my parents."

"He's not gonna do anything with your parents." He reassured.

"I'll trash the communications device they gave me."

Felix chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck, "Oh, don't worry about that. It's already taken care of."

"You went snooping in my stuff?!"

"Don't be like that. I knew something was up." He said, looking down at me.

Will sighed, "Whatever."

"Don't make me kick your ass again."

"Haha," Will said, rolling his eyes.

Sully had finished packing up the gear and they all hopped in the plane.

"Let's hope to god we don't die!" Sully said.

"We never had before," Felix said.

Sully started the plane and they took off. It wasn't long before Sully announced that they entered the Bermuda Triangle.
