A Midnight Escape
30 minutes ago...
"Why are we going out so late?" Janice was awakened by Michael in the hospital bed.
"Yesterday someone came to kill you, I caught them, so today I'm taking you away." Michael handed the pistol to Janice, "You can only rest at home."
They didn't say anything more, quietly opening the door to the hospital room. The corridor in front of them was a little brighter than the dark outside, and they could see that there was no one at the end of the corridor.
Janice's hand holding the pistol was cold; she hadn't held it for too long. Michael held Janice's hand tightly, as if a father worried about his daughter getting lost.
"Go down the stairs." Michael pointed to the stairs and quickly pulled Janice along.
"Can you let go of my hand?" Janice turned her head, trying to hide her blushing face from Michael.
"I don't trust it." Michael said.
"Oh." Janice blushed even more.
"Be careful." Michael pointed at the steps.
They made sure their footsteps were completely silent and then slowly went down the stairs.
"Hide!" Michael noticed a security robot downstairs. Its eyes emitted a beam of light, illuminating the path ahead like a flashlight, wandering in the stairwell until it completely disappeared.
"Go!" Michael continued to pull Janice's hand downstairs.
In the lobby, there were no people sitting on the benches, no one attending the counters, and the air conditioning wasn't turned on... No wonder it was so cold.
"My friend will come to pick us up later, wait here." Michael pulled Janice towards the entrance and then hid in an alley.
A police car arrived, but its siren had been removed.
"Michael!" Hudson whispered as quietly as possible.
"Move!" Michael whispered back, completely unaware that Janice's face had turned as red as a tomato due to being held in his arms.
They got into the car, and Hudson suddenly felt that everything was going too smoothly, preparing to accelerate to the fullest.
DADADADADA...!
Five black SUVs emerged from behind them, with one person in each car shooting.
"FUCK! I knew it would happen!" Hudson's car reached its maximum speed in an instant and rushed forward without any hesitation.
"'SHADOW' people!" Janice noticed that those people were dressed in blue military uniforms.
"I don't need you to tell me, I already knew!" Michael extended the pistol's barrel and then leaned out to take a look.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"Perfect! All misses!" Michael put his head back into the car, and the action caused him to lose three bullets!
The SUV's bulletproof glass at the rear couldn't withstand the barrage, and it shattered. Michael, Janice, and Hudson had to crouch down to avoid the bullets.
"WA!" Hudson made a sharp turn to avoid a rocket launcher.
BOOM!
"Doesn't anyone inside feel like we're in a mysterious car chase game!?" Janice tidied her messy hair.
"The house automatically blocks outside noise at night. If they could hear, that would be strange!" Michael said. Just as he finished speaking, a black SUV slammed into their car from the side, and they would have flipped over if it weren't for Hudson pressing a button.
Bang! Bang!
Michael shot two bullets, breaking the SUV's bulletproof glass and hitting the driver's forehead. The SUV collided with the other vehicles.
"All done." Michael said calmly, changing the bullets as if nothing happened.
"Did you hear anything?" Janice suddenly said, leaving Michael and Hudson puzzled.
"..." Hudson listened carefully and indeed there was a sound... a helicopter!
Hudson felt his car being overturned by a rocket from the helicopter, flipping twice before crashing heavily to the ground.
"That damn helicopter! These people are so annoying!" Hudson struggled to climb out of the half-opened car door, while Michael kicked the door open and pulled Janice out.
"Fucking Jeez!" Hudson swore as he saw another black SUV coming out, cursing under his breath.
DADADADADADA!
Hudson ran backward with Janice, and Michael followed closely behind. The SUVs were still in hot pursuit.
They suddenly turned a corner, and the black SUVs quickly sped up, trying to catch up to them.
But they were already gone.
"Where are they?" one person inside the SUV asked.
"It's impossible, they were just here a moment ago." The driver checked anxiously.
BANG!
Someone's head inside the SUV was penetrated by something, and the other four people looked up, it was Michael! He lifted the car roof!
AAAAAAAA!! (DADADADADADADA!)
They started shooting at Michael, but he had already maxed out his durability and couldn't be penetrated by these bullets.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Michael fired back inside, and every bullet hit them in the forehead. He climbed into the car, kicking the driver's door open.
It turned out they had turned into a small alleyway just now, circling around the SUV and ending up behind them.
"You're really not bragging about being number one." Hudson sat in the driver's seat. "Do we dispose of these bodies?"
"No, we can't. They'll be found." Janice also got into the car.
"Well, then we'll just have to endure the smell of these bodies a bit. They're starting to stink." Michael took out a few black bags from the backseat containing various firearms and ammunition.
Hudson started the engine and started moving forward.
BOOM!
The sudden rocket overturned their car, and they rolled down a slope, completely losing mobility.
Michael finally got angry. He picked up an RPG, kicked open the bottom of the car, and disregarded the helicopter's gunfire. He aimed at the helicopter and pulled the trigger!
BOOM!
The helicopter's wreckage fell to the ground, and Michael threw the RPG away, picking up the black bags, pulling Janice out of the car, and Hudson climbed out on his own, taking two light machine guns as well.
Hudson was limping a bit, but it didn't hinder his movement. Michael, on the other hand, had his abilities weakened by the collar, causing him to reach his limit quickly, making it difficult for him to walk.
Janice began to think about the cause of all this... The answer was herself!
Since that's the case, then...
"GA!" Michael suddenly cried out in pain, holding his head, and then collapsed to the ground.
Janice instinctively held him, asking him what was wrong, but he only bit his lip and passed out.
"Janice! Behind me!" Hudson suddenly raised one of the light machine guns, but obviously, he didn't have time to pull the trigger, resulting in him being shot multiple times. Blood dripped down from his wounds, but he still maintained his standing position because there were two people behind him.
Seeing that the enemies were wearing suits, Janice knew they were agents from some country, and they wouldn't take her life... So...
PA!
Hudson's head was knocked with a pistol butt, and his legs gave way. Before everything around him turned dark, he saw Janice holding the pistol, about to kiss the ground, and then he lost consciousness.
"A wise choice." The leader of the agents applauded, then said to Janice, "Now you know what you have to do, right?"
Janice raised her hands and slowly moved forward.
The two agents held her hands tightly, took away the pistol, and led Janice away...
"JANICEEEEEEEE!!!" It was Michael! Surprisingly, Janice saw him starting to have nosebleeds, and his whole body was full of veins, seemingly because of the standing position.
"Fire!" The head agent gave the order.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Michael increased his leg strength and rushed towards the enemies. With visible traces left on the ground, he turned the enemies in front of him into a pool of blood, also gently holding Janice in his arms.
BANG!
The head agent fired something like a capsule that hit Michael!
"It's an anesthetic!" Michael started feeling his strength fading away, so he put all his remaining strength into raising his arm, then threw the capsule away!
Janice flew several meters away in an instant, and she saw Michael's expression of worry like a father before he gradually disappeared, lying on the road.
Even though they had only met four days ago, she couldn't help but shed tears.
She didn't know how much time had passed until she finally landed on the ground and realized she was standing at Lily's doorstep.
"Get them into the car," said the guy in the suit, leading the group.
"Aren't we gonna kill 'em?" one of the guys asked.
"Idiot, we need them to lure her back!" another guy replied, throwing Hudson into the car.
They didn't know, 'HERO' Alice Justin was hiding in the alley, watching them, ready to punch their faces.
