Chapter Eighteen The Gun Slinger

The sudden cries of men colored with sounds of gunshots, echoed throughout a warehouse. As Nadia Huxley a.k.a Ace girl, a full time spy for the Government, and skilled agent in many forms of martial arts including aikido, judo, karate and savate. Hid behind a pile of boxes while reloading her two Beretta M9.

She was also a skilled gymnast and was also rumoured to be a gifted because of her ability to see past five seconds of a possible future. This was her last mission for the Government and the Secret Agency she worked in. Before she'd be transferred to the Legion of heroes.

The SAD had not been successful on gaining access as to the origin of her ability or how it even works. They assumed it was something beyond science, therefore she was to join the Legion of heroes whom had more experience in the field of both science and paranormal activities.

The gunshots had worsened, and as Nadia leaned very close to the hard concrete wall.

Using it as a shield, while slugs of metal hit straight into the boxes. Creating magnifying holes on it.

Judging from the noises and gunshots she guessed their were about a thirty of them. All armed to the teeth. So she pulled out her two Beretta M9, she always made sure not to run out of armory. She closed her eyes, then said a short prayer before she leaping out like a lion in action.

Firing repeatedly while still in flying in mid-air, as she instantly took five men down. She fell to the floor and rolled tactical, as she released another round simultaneously. As the bullets chewed through the skulls of many men.

The other armed men returned fire, they shot furiously towards her direction, but somehow she was able to evade all their attacks without a single scratch. She launched towards them fearlessly as she fired rapidly. Taking more of their goons down with each shot. She seemed like a true warrior goddess, as she mercilessly gunned them down

One of the armed goons who happened to be in a much closer range, attempted to unleash his machine gun on her. But she swifty swept the gun off his hands and smacked him with her elbow, knocking him out instantly.

She quickly used him as a shield to fend off the bullets that were plunging towards her direction, as she fired back at the shooters gunning down more. She approached them with each coming shots. As the lifeless body still served as an effective shield. She threw the dead body towards them and followed it up with another series of gunshots till her guns ran empty.

Flinging the guns away, she swifty rushed to two other opponents whom were reloading. She tacticalfully performed a low roundhouse kick, sweeping them off the floor. Instinctively she stuck out two sharp daggers from her boot and threw at two other goons who were approaching from behind.

She took out another hand gun from her hip holster and fired at the two fellas she'd just kicked down, just as they were attempting to get to their feet. Suddenly a flash of vision shot through her mind and she quickly acted on impulse. Dived immediately as a missile wizzed past her and collided with the walls.

A huge blast erupted, and the force propelled her forward forcefully, but she covered herself tactically as she crashed roughly on the floor. Bits of glasses, wood and concrete shattered and littered everywhere. As the deafening sounds of the missile threatened to burst her eardrums.

Eventually the blast subsided and she swiftly stood up with her gun held tight. But by just looking around, she was impressed by the kind of carnage the explosion had caused. Everyone had been massacred, all toasted like beacon.

«Whoever launched the missile must have been under orders or is just a psychopath» She thought to herself.

Instinctively she spun around, almost pulling the trigger of her glock. But suddenly froze as she heard someone yell.

"Don't you dare!! or he dies" the shaky voice roared.

She looked at the enemy whom was sweating profusely, his gun was pressed on the head of a teenage boy, almost the same age with her.

Shawn Hopkinson the major reason for her mission. She was to rescue him, and that she swore make sure of. She had never failed any missions and certainly her last wasn't gonna be the first.

"You don't wanna do that. Trust me" She spoke calmly.

"Drop the fucking gun bitch" the man roared, his hands still trembling.

"Please just do as he says" Whimpered Shawn.

She only sighed heavily as she slowly lowered her gun. But within a spilt second she pulled the trigger. Blood splattered all over Shawn's face, as his eyes widened in horror while he screamed hysterically.

"Aaahhh!. Are you out of your fucking mind!. Look what you've done to me." He lamented.

"You're welcome." She said as she smiled to herself as she fixed her gun back to her waist belt.

"Nobody dares call me a bitch." She muttered to herself as she walked away.

She fetched out her mobile phone, ignoring his yelling as she dialed a certain number.

"Mission's complete sir"

"Good work agent. Return back to the agency. You'll need to prepare for tomorrow".

"Roger that Sir".

★★★★★★

Somewhere in the uptowns of Doomsville city. The S.A.D facility was installed in a very large versatile land and inside the facility was a hell on earth. The entire place was filled with a lot of angry and menacing mutants that were all undergoing intensive experiments. A brunette with a side parted pixel hairstyle was boldly walking through the hallway of the caged mutants. She had an I.D, that was attached to her white and navy blue uniform. Her name was boldly written as Captain Eva. And behind her were three more persons.

Two were scientists from the facility and one. was an outsider. A popular female social media reporter that was constantly being sent by the government to give Intel concerning on how activities were being handled in the facility. Captain Eva was to be their guide, since they were going to visit on of the most complex mutants.

They quietly walked through the hallways as they kept on going past many cells. Until they. arrived at one. The cell was unlike the others, it had little glass openings and one could barely see through the glasses. She fetched out her I.D and was about to slot and about to show it to the door scanner, but stopped when she noticed she was stepping on something wet. So she looked down and was baffled by what she saw.

"Fuck!." She cursed as she quickly stepped back to expose a pool of blood that was slowly flowing out from underneath the door.

"Everyone get back now. I'll call for back up"

They meekly did as they were told and took a reasonable distance away from the door. She contacted the rest of her team and alerted them on what she had just seen. Then she pulled out some sort of futuristic gun and pointed towards the door as she gradually drew backwards.

The red lights were turned on as the alarms started blaring. The crazy mutants saw that as an opportunity to shout more barbarically. As more agents rushed down to the building section, with their advanced tech guns. They started to lead the visitors out when all of a sudden they heard a sudden light knock on the sealed door. It sounded so little and yet so audible. But after a few moments it stopped. Then they heard it again and again, till finally it died down.

"You two. Take the visitors away. The rest you stay behind me, as I open this door" Ordered Captain Eva as she began to make her move.

While the visitors were being led out, so were they advancing closer to the door. As she reached to the door. She suddenly paused for a moment to draw her breathe before raising her card to the scanner. The automatic door gradually opened as they all quickly drew back with their guns stretched out. But after a few moments of waiting and not spotting anything moving. She started to take the first steps forward and waved signals for the rest.

On entering into the cell, she was preplexed by what she saw. The room was painted with blood as dismemberment bodies of agents were littered everywhere. But strangely there was no sign of the subject. They were all still too astonished by what they'd seen, that they didn't take notice of the reporter as she snuck back into the massacre scene.

"Oh God no. it can't be" She panicked as she trembled fearfully.

"Ma'am you can't be here now. we will have to request that you reschedule" Captain Eva said in her most polite tone.

"Please don't tell me he got out? The woman persisted.

"The subject is yet to be found. But we have everything under control."

"No no no. You all don't understand what would happen if that creature comes out again."

"Excuse me?"

"It would be much worse than what you just witnessed here. Their would be a blood bath"
