Crimson Raid (Part 3)

"Do we head in then?" (Peter)

"Just let me do something first." (Luis)

"What?" (Peter)

"Well, he heard us so he's pointing a gun at the door. So I have to do a little something."

"..."

I grab my gun and point at the door, well at least that's what it looked like. In reality, I was sensing where his arm was. I pointed my gun and shot. The bullet went through his wrist making him drop the gun. He doesn't have any other gun on him besides that.

"Now, we are good."

"What'd you do?"

"Just shot him in the arm, that's all," I say as I open the door to find Ricardo on the ground grabbing his arm in pain leaning against a sofa.

The next thing I see nauseates me. The room is fully covered in blood, you can see ammo scattered all over the floor. The intestines of people, as well as organs, are in full view. I feel like I might throw up at any minute.

This is not the sight a middle schooler should see, or any human being for that matter. However, I can't show any weakness. I'll just walk in boldly and only focus on Ricardo. I walk trying not to mind anything while concentrating on Ricardo... that was also a bad idea. His body is bleeding all over the place and his holding his hand while looking pitiful.

I should get this over with quick. He said something about Magic Soldiers. I want to ask him but I don't have much time for questions and if I act like I know nothing he will just ignore it... then let's use some reverse psychology.

"I overheard your conversation, how do you know about Magic Soldiers and how much do you know about us?" (Luis)

He looks at me with eyes full of defiance and doesn't say anything.

I grab his shirt with my right hand and pull him closer...shit bad idea, but I can't just let go.

"I asked you a god damned question you piece of shit. You already know we are going to kill you so I won't give you false hope. But, you can either die quickly or I'll make your death painful by using a little magic."

I say as I hit behind him breaking the sofa without effort. He looks at my hand going through the sofa.

"Who knows, I may be able to apply some magic to make your death as painful as I possibly can."

I can't really do that, but it sure scared him.

"We...we were told by our boss in Mexico of Magic soldiers. The only thing we were told was that we should never ever confront them no matter what or we would be annihilated. We also know that you guys have a facility somewhere in midwest. That's all I know! I promise!"

I look at him in the eyes. Well, no matter who they would be afraid of dying a slow painful death, especially if it is unknown how it's going to happen. So then that's all they have, so much for learning about myself, I really don't wanna ask Argus about this but it looks like I may have to.

"...I see...then as I promised." I take out my gun, close my eyes and shoot him in the head.

*pam*

There might have been loud noises coming from the outside but the only sound I could hear was the one my gun had just made. This is the second person I've killed, and I'm sure this won't be the last one, but I can't get used to this. I stand up and face Peter.

"Let's go." (Luis)

"...Are you okay in the head?"

"I'm not sure now is the time to shoot a joke at me."

Crap, that sounded like a joke.

"...Um, didn't you just...nevermind. What I mean meant was that you are about the age of a middle schooler. Yet, you walked into this room as if it was nothing." (Peter)

No, I was really freaking out internally.

"You grabbed and threatened to kill him slowly and then you killed him without hesitation."(Peter)

Well, I wouldn't call it without hesitation. I already know that I'm not normal if we go by age standards or any human standard. I know better than anyone that I'm probably not right in the head but...

"Things like this happen when you work in the underground. You just have to get used to it." (Luis)

<What the fuck happened to this kid to turn out like this?> (Peter)

I said that, but, I'm sure I wouldn't be able to hold myself to that. In fact, I wanna get outta here quickly. My jacket is covered in blood and it smells like iron in here. It's probably the blood.

"Let's get out of here. We already accomplished our goal and the police are bound to get here anytime soon," I say as I head towards the door.

"...Sure." (Peter)

*Pam* *Pam*

"No good Argus! We are running out of bullet and time we should start retreating." (Rebecca)

"We said that we would rendezvous at the gate, we can't really leave them behind! We have to leave together or there's a chance we won't catch the car!" (Argus)

"Don't be too unrealistic! You are running out of magic and are already showing the signs of magic exhaustion! We are also running out of bullet and we have been scraped by a couple of bullets already." (Sara)

"It doesn't matter! We can't leave without them!" (Argus)

"I agree with Argus! I believe they will show up." (Rebecca)

"I wasn't suggesting to leave them! To begin with! If we did that we would be destroying our objective for all of this! What I am saying is that-" (Sara)

Her sentence was cut off as she saw a sight that she couldn't believe. In front of her, Rebecca fell to her side and started bleeding on the ground.

"Shit! Rebecca!" She runs to her and grabs. "Argus, hold the fort down!"

The bullet penetrated her chest. She was still alive but Rebecca was in a critical condition. If this wound was left unattended she would definitely die

"We are getting out of here!" (Argus)

"I thought you said that you wouldn't leave them behind!" (Sara)

"I'm not! They are coming to us!" (Argus)

Sara peaks over to the left to see two familiar figures running towards them at full speed. One faster than the other at getting there. The first one arrives there in the middle of the chaos.

"Get out of my way! NOW!" (Luis)

Should I use my healing magic? I didn't want it to get found out... this is not the time to be hesitating!! I can't let that thing happen again...I grab her and touch her wound.

"What are you doing?" (Sara)

"Shut up!" (Luis)

I focus my healing magic on rebuilding her lungs. It looks like all that anatomy and biology came in useful. I know how to heal this exactly by being exact on reconstructing. It may take several minutes but I can save her.

Peter finally arrives at where we are.

"Let's start moving! I'll carry her!" (Luis)

"Now I will-"(Peter)

"Shut your trap! I'm doing it because it's beneficial to her. I can use healing magic too! Now let's get out of here!" (Luis)

"...Okay! Argus, let's get out of here!" (Argus)

"Alright!" (Argus)

With that, I grab Rebbeca in a princess carry and we start retreating. Running away as fast as we could to the car where Alex was waiting for us. I'm glad that I practiced using spells while body enhancing even if it was difficult to use at first.

However, in our retreat and panic, we forgot to think of one essential thing. How was it that Rebecca was shot so accurately. As we passed out the gate we felt a moment of relief followed by a moment of horror.

As we got a few meters out of the gate a single shot was fired accurately. The shot piercing the same closer to the lungs of a certain individual.

The next I know I feel immense pain in the lower part of my ribcage and feel wet. I examine my body with magic and see that I have a hole. I try sensing where the trajectory came from. A single sniper on the rooftop. I kneel on the ground and with one swift movement, I shot at him hitting him in the shoulder.

That was enough to stop him. I keep on running.

"What was that one shot just now!" (Argus)

"Just keep running!"( Luis)

We keep on running until we get to the car. Finally, good thing I learned how to numb myself. I check Rebecca's state. I couldn't heal her broken bones but I at least healed her lung so she should be fine. With that, I focus on my healing and faint.

At a certain airport near New York City, a certain woman disembarks. The woman is extremely beautiful with silver hair. She stands at about 173 cm with a big bust and nice body figure. Wearing some business casual clothing Alongside her is another woman with golden hair. She's slightly shorter than the silver-haired one. While she's a beauty unlike the woman beside her she has a slim body line. However, she can still be considered to have appeal in her own way.

"Well, it looks like we are here," Said the woman with silver hair.

"Yep, we are back in the city, this place feels nostalgic. With this our vacation starts." Said the woman with golden hair.

"Yes, we only get a month of free time a year."

"Yep! Let's have a blast!"
