Pretenders Chap.3 'Forever Marked'

12:45 Am

Amidst all the chaos after the crash, I and Sebastian took cover behind the uprooted truck with pistols in our hands.

"so what mess have you gotten your Ass into Sebastian?? and why are we taking cover??" I yelled while recovering from the crash.

and suddenly gunshots were fired towards the truck which felt like a warning sign.

"Captain Ryan we're being hunted by a Certain person named Kelin Bradshaw who wants some crucial information from me that would spark a war between countries"

and then we heard another car stopping by and the sounds of more troops approaching our cover. I knew They were trying to corner us to surrender.

I immediately asked Sebastian "what do you have in hand that might be useful?? like a grenade or a flare?"

"I do have A smoke grenade but how will yo-"

" Yes. "

I immediately grabbed the smoke grenade, unpinned it, and threw it at a safe distance from us in an attempt to flee the scene.

we were Going against a force with better firepower with well-equipped light vests and Vehicles.

it was a 2 v18 situation with overwhelming numbers and strength but the setting and terrain around us made it clear

it was the very thing I was so excited and keen about.

'Street assault'.

the Smoke Set in from the grenade covered the Street And Reduced Visibility. It was like Home Turf in the desert where our Division was trained to Fight in places with reduced visibility

"it was Time to show How the Hunter hunts its prey"

I moved out of my position first to take out the Closest person to our position. I had to stay low to be out of other Soldier's Vicinity as I approached him and Slit his throat Unnoticed and took away the Rifle he was holding Silently.

Then Sebastian Followed up and Silently Took out the Closest soldier to my position and Got hold of his Weapon.

It was a 2 v 16 situation now.

It was time to move on the offensive. " hey Sebastian just like the good ol' days of the military you take the left I'll take The Right side of this street, Choose your cover wisely " I Instructed in silence.

"yes, captain Just like the old days" As I and Sebastian parted ways to begin our assault.

As we Took positions, I moved Across the street to the Alleyways to Ambush them from Behind and Sebastian would create a distraction for them to Get confused the Firing would start in ETA 2.00 mins

ETA 1.30 mins I Encountered a hostile trying to move my way so I set a 'Tripwire' using a hard thread and tying it across two ends of the alleyway and setting up my knife vertically. As he Came in my direction he tripped down and fell right on the trap to his death. I took some Ammunition and hurried up to my Spot.

2 v 15, ETA 0.00

Sebastian fired the first shots as he dragged the attention of the Soldiers to his side. I Raised my gun and kept my sights clear and fired the first shot with my gun on a single fire mode.

* bang

A headshot.

This put the Hostiles in a state of confusion As I and Sebastian took out Their forces one by one with them not being able to collect themselves in this confusion. To our surprise

They called in reinforcements.

and was no ordinary reinforcement, it was a F**king chopper coming towards our way.

it was a 2 v 5 situation with Two cars and a helicopter trying to hunt us down.

We immediately took possession of one of their Cars and drove off in an attempt to Escape.

It was an insane car chase fight to see who'd live or die and they had the upper hand.

our Choice was to shake them off or make them think we're presumed dead. and so of course being the crazy Captain I am, I suggested Sebastian

"Hey!, I want you to hear me loud and clear alright. In about 2 miles from here, there's a bridge, and under it is a Shallow river so here's what we do to lose them off......."

"Gotta say, That's one hell of a crazy plan you've involved me in but it isn't the first anyways. Hold those F**kers in the back Until then if you want to make it there"

"Sure thing Private hand me the rifle and Another magazine."

After getting my Ammo and Gun, I leaned out of the Car and first took care of the car behind us we were taking fire from.

I pointed out my sights towards the driver and switch the Gun to Auto Mode

*bang*bang*bang*bang

I fired 4 shots at the Closest car after us and got a clean hit at the driver which led to its crash which left us to Handle one Car and a Chopper

We were 900 meters away from our target location, the Helicopter was keeping up with us way much faster than we expected So I had to hold it back

but firing shots at it wouldn't help because it was at an altitude Where the bullets would Barely travel so we had to carry out the plan quite Earlier than usual.

"okay Sebastian, it's best to carry out the plan right now"

" Wait what wasn't it 100 meters?? we might be affected more or worse even die here???"

"it's a Gamble from the Start anyways, who wouldn't love to almost dying from a sick car chase?"

"Whatever you stupid F**k let me Speed up"

so he highly speeds up above the limit which made it hard for the chopper to keep track of us while moving close to the bridge

" Captain are you really sure you want to do this?"

"Come on I bet you'll love dying this way"

" you crazy F**k you've seen too many movies eh "

"you Bet private"

as Sebastian gave a hard right at the middle of the bridge and crashed out of the railings and fell off the bridge.

1.45 AM, the Riverside

I grabbed Sebastian who was unconscious after the impact of the crash and went with the currents where the river Carried us. I found a riverside where we could rest and swim toward the side.

At the time I was recollecting my Thoughts and being in a Dilemma of "Did I do the right thing by helping him?" well it was too late to go back now because now i'm

'Forever Marked'
