"See that building over there." Laura points towards a building that has only the ground floor left. The upperparts are just debris of bricks.
"What are we looking for now? Ghosts?" Rick makes his eyes bigger and scratches air with both hands.
"Yes," Laura says in a flat tone. Rick puts his hand down and turns his eyes to normal.
She continues "Modern ghosts hiding behind computers. They trap others to buy bitcoins but the people land only on the error page after making payments."
"So we'll get in, thrash 'em up and take the money." Laura steps out of the car followed by Rick.
They both take their guns out and move forward in the dungeon-like place. Light appears to be coming only from wall holes and small windows.
"Must have been a school earlier," Rick whispers, noticing parts of wooden benches lying in some rooms.
"Too empty for running a bitcoin scam though," Laura hisses as she sees nobody in the 2nd room too. A series of gates are still unchecked.
Rick's eye falls on a black thing in the farthest corner of the hall. "Shit they've got a camera in here," he shouts.
Laura disables it in one gunshot. She turns back towards Rick getting a blow by a wooden stick. He falls to the ground.
Laura's hand gets locked as someone holds from behind. The man standing near Rick swings his stick to hit on Laura's hands. Her gun slips from her hands.
Rick lying on the floor kicks the man in his knees. The man falls flat to his face. Rick stands up and kicks him on the buttocks.
Laura swings her right leg forward and moves it back to hit the man's knees behind her. His grip loosens. Freeing her hand she crouches down and trips the man over her to land him in her front.
"Yeah come now." Laura sprints towards one coming from the far end of the hall. She jumps and folds her knees in mid-air. Her knees hit the man's shoulders. He falls to the ground with Laura landed on him on her knees.
She gets in the last room. "I really hate those," she says to the man waving a knife in the air. The man sprints and forwards the knife to her stomach. She flips to the sides.
She gives a chop on his hand, the knife gets inside breaking a PC's screen. The man falls to the floor with another chop on his head.
Another man barges into the room. "Nice timing," she cheers and kicks the man's buttocks lying on the floor. The man slides on the floor and his head hits the other one's legs.
He falls to his knees. "Here take your things back." Laura takes a CPU from beside and slams it on his head. The man's face comes out of the other side piercing the CPU.
"Now tell me where the money is?" She taps on his cheeks.
"Got it." Laura waves a hard drive to Rick after coming out in the hall. But Rick is lost in his thoughts and his fists are moving to and fro a man's face lying on the floor.
Laura goes near him and taps on Rick's shoulders, "He's already unconscious."
Rick jolts out of his thoughts and stands up in haste. Blood is dripping from his fist. "Is he dead ?" he says, sweating with speedy breathings.
"He'll live." She kicks the man to trip his bruised and bloody face.
"We've got the money, stored as bitcoin in this hard drive." She waves it to Rick.
"Let's get out of this elusive place." Rick steps out of the hall hurriedly sweating.
Rick steps into the car taking deep breaths. Laura gets in and flips the car keys.
