Chapter 9

The FBI agents were enraged after seeing the scenes at the highway. The scene of their fellow agents disfigured and having their insides torn apart had the agents seeth in rage and some newer agents who were not used to such gory scenes started to puke and it took quite a while for them to gather themselves. 

Some hot blooded agents wanted to seek revenge as soon as possible and tried to run towards the woods on their own but their captain stopped them before they did some idiotic shit and quickly had them gather around him. 

Their team leader quickly divided them into two groups and had one group who were either rookies or not a combat specialist to stay behind and guard the area and also had them to block the area and had the other group with veteran or combat specialist in the group to form a team for an expedition into the woods to capture the culprits. 

One can never underestimate one of the most powerful agencies in the US as the group of highly trained agents quickly moved in an orderly fashion and this time they did not hide their murderous intent which was practically leaking from their body. Meanwhile deep inside the woods Nick with his pistol in his right hand ran through the thick trees. He displayed his agility to the fullest extent and resembled that of a cheetah with his incredible dexterity and split second decisions which he took while running to dodge the roots and branches which were scattered in the ground which could very well make a person lose their footing. 

While his right hand still had his gun, his left hand had his mobile and its caller ID showed an unknown number which was Kaniger's. Ever since he entered the woods he had been constantly trying to reach Kaniger but to no avail. Knowing that the woods really is a difficult place to get a tower, Nick did not give up and kept trying hard and only stopped when his own tower was blocked. "Dammit!" Nick shouted, frustrated from the constant mishap that had been happening since the beginning of the operation. 

At first he had planned on saving the group of FBI but he didnt expect them to be wiped out before he could reach them and now with Kaniger, he could only hope that she had hidden herself well and did not get killed otherwise his subsequent plans would go down in drain. 

Meanwhile even with a head start Kaniger was not in a good situation. She had been constantly trying to get a signal only to be met with 'No signal' in response and the pressure of being chased by a group of monsters really didn't help her. She didn't dare to make any noise or did she try to put any obvious mark which could possibly be discovered by her enemies instead of Nick or her colleagues but unknown to her the monsters did not only have superior fighting abilities, they had other auxiliary skills such as a steinadler zooming vision making him see objects very far and his group of cronies who were either fuchsbau or Balam. 

Juarez cartel was a Wesen drug gang which comprised mostly of 3 types, all the lieutenants and leaders were Steinadlers which was a breed known for their military performance and they had Balam and Fuchsbau under their control. 

At this very moment Dell Santos who was chasing after the only escapee from the scene woged and used his eye power to zoom into the distance in order to find any movement and his group of lackeys who numbered around 7 also woged and while Fuchsbau were just ready to attack their prey the Balam used their nose to sniff out the FBI woman who escaped and after a deep breath one of the Balam lackey pointed his finger in a particular direction before the group ran towards the direction in a rather spread out manner.

Wesen were a creature who were rather impulsive and apart from Steinadler who generally tend to be people who were highly trained wesens which had more physical prowess like Balam were impulsive, rash and the kind which liked to act first and think later. Knowing that there was a prey before them running for its life made them instinctively want to hunt and this made them to keep their weapons inside hidden and go old school, fully Woged with their razor sharp teeth sticking out. 

The Balam ran with inhuman agility and dexterity and Fuchsbau followed closely behind. Though Dell Santos did not like such an attitude he didn't comment much on it and still chased after the prey with his assault rifle still in his hands.

It didn't take long for this bunch of monsters to catch up to a human and the second Kaniger saw them running after her in their fully Woged state her eyes constricted while her heart dropped. Knowing what was about to come next without any hesitation or even trying to aim, Kaniger took a shot randomly with the sole aim of getting the attention of Nick and her colleagues.

The sound of gunshot echoed in the silent woods startling the birds which flew out of the forest screeching and the sound reverberated through the entire woods enough for both Nick and the FBI agents to hear it. Without any hesitation Nick ran towards the direction from where the sound came and by sheer luck it was very close.

Continuous sounds of 5 gunshots were made followed by a scream and a "get off me" voice from a panicked Kaniger and since Nick was able to hear her scream and voice he knew he was very close to her and within seconds he saw the group of wesen more like a total of 4 Balam over Kaniger trying to rip her clothes and scratched her legs and hands to scare her while Dell Santos stood by the side watching the prey coldly. They were toying with their prey and the screams from Kaniger just got more feral. Nick could tell that she was really scared and did not wait any longer fearing that it would leave a lasting trauma on Kaniger.

Without any hesitation Nick aimed his gun and shot, not at the Balam who were playing around with Kaniger but at Dell Santos who carried the assault rifle with him.

The bullet tore through the shoulder of Dell Santos making him scream in pain and fall down dropping his assault rifle while holding his right shoulder in pain. Knowing that Dell Santos was right handed Nick had made sure to shoot through the right shoulder first to make him incapable of weidling the assault rifle and it did the trick as the entire group just froze while Dell Santos Woged and while holding his shoulder tried to escape abandoning the rifle which was pretty much useless. 

The Balam quickly tried to catch the scent of their attacker and gave a feral roar like a jaguar while locking onto Nick who calmly walked out of the woods with his gun still pointed at the group.

Like a bunch of crazy animals without even trying to reach for the guns inside their coats and just used their agility and power to kill Nick. 

Kaniger used her palm and elbow to scramble back and did so until she maintained a safe distance from the monsters and with her eyes filled with tears she saw her saviour, Nick, all alone with a handgun pointing against a group of monsters who were running towards him at high speed like a bunch of wild animals.

Kaniger's heart dropped when she saw this and felt distressed for Nick. She did not believe that these monsters who could not be stopped by a group of highly trained FBI agents could be stopped by a police detective, much less there was only one person.

Kaniger felt worried and also felt guilty that she would cause a guy's death because of her inability. But what came after shocked her to the core. The group which had easily killed the FBI agents were shot down one by one before only two monsters were present at the end when the bullets ran out of Nick's handgun.

One was a Balam and other was a Fuchsbau and Nick could repaid his magazine but he knew with a Balam on his opposite it was quite impossible to change mags and immediately dropped his gun and quickly took out two sharp combat knives with a handgrip just perfect for Nick's palm and fingers and a slightly curved sharp blade at the top.

Back when he trained with Madeleine Nick had specifically asked her to train him in knife combat and it took him sometime before he could find the perfect knife set for himself. These two knives were just his preliminary weapon and in his entire body he had stored a total of six different knives each with a different shape which he had recently taken a liking to and had trained in with Madeline and in the woods to gain expertise. 

By now the FBI squad had already arrived at the vicinity and for the first time one of the major federal agencies saw a group of monsters attacking the cop. However unlike the previous teams this one remained calm and was about to attack the wesen group only to be stopped by their captain and pointing at the dead bodies at the side who were likely wesen before their death from the tears they had near their sleeves. 

Of course as a major agency they had records of wesen and had dealt with the crazy ones many times. In a world where there were many wesen gangs and terrorists it would be downright idiotic if the major agencies did not know about their presence. 

Hell even amongst the agency many were wesen, of course most were good ones apart from some who end up being moles. They looked towards Kaniger to ensure her safety and then looked at the battle that was about to happen amongst Nick and the two wesens. Looking at how Nick had taken out four out of six wesens and with Dell Santos missing the group had only one thought and that was Nick was also a Wesen and a strong one at that and that's the reason why he was able to kill them.

The Balam swiped his right claw at Nick who just dodged backward to avoid the swipe and did not forget to swipe his knife at the wrist of the Balam just when his claw passed by Nick's face. 

"Argh!!" holding his wrist which had a cut to stop the constant bleeding, Balam took a few steps back to avoid the confrontation. However Nick had other plans. Without allowing the Balam to retreat Nick chased after the Balam at high speed and before he could react Nick caught the head of the Balam with both his hands and gave a knee to his face breaking his nose and knocking his consciousness out. The Fuchsbau who couldn't launch an attack planned to escape but just as he was about to run out of Nick's range he had a knife stuck to his thigh dropping him to his knee while screaming. 

Just as Nick was about to finish the job by putting both Wesens out of misery he was stopped by the captain who had made his presence known. The captain too was shocked by the man's fighting prowess and he was even more shocked to see that he was not a Wesen. No one knew Nick was a Grimm especially these Wesen gangs because Nick had previously made sure to wear tinted glasses, the one which would automatically change colour when they were in sunlight as a means to hide his eye which would become black when he sees a Wesen.
