The streets were filled with Carnage and thick black smoke as Jordon and Franklyn blocked the door with anything heavy they could get their hands on riot police had set up a perimeter around the complex while the newly bankrupt X manager of gensys and polytechnic solutions stood on the roof of Franklyn's battered car with a wireless microphone "that's the door secured nobody's getting through that in a hurry how you guys doing with the windows" Jordon asked as he turned up the TV and cut them all a slice of chocolate gatto cake "main bedrooms sealed we're blocked in no ones getting in or out of this apartment unless the building collapses" Linda said her face flushed with anxiety as they converged in Franklyn's kitchen
"You know maybe i shouldn't have blown up gensys" Trish stated from her spot by the window brows furrowed and adrenaline pumping the group turned to look at her in shock "your kidding right after everything those bastards did to us after they murdered Will after they tried to get Sofia removed you think that just by blowing Gensys to hell you've gone to far" Franklyn shouted solemn and angry expressions returned Franklyn's comments and Jordon looked like he wanted to throw Franklyn through the window "lower your voice before you wake the baby" Becky warned bluntly before looking down at the floor the memory of her late lover was an extremely sore spot for her
"Point taken but the difference between them and us is rallying outside waiting to kill us" Trish said as a glass bottle hit the window in front of her barely making a dent "Too many people are dying and the public are convinced it's because of me and Caesar that court case only made things worse in the long run we don't have a leg to stand on even if we go into hiding we'll likely still die" Trish stated sadly tears slipping from the brim of her eyes as Jordon came to stand beside her offering her a slice of cake "so what's the answer we can't hide here forever sooner or later we'll be killed" Beth exclaimed there was silence in the room for a minute before Becky lost her temper with her former employer
"He's says one more word against Will and I swear to god I'm going out there and I'm gonna break every bone in his chest" Becky snapped pain filled the room as they remembered Will Franklyn nodded suddenly and went round to the counter and pulled out a pristine bottle of whiskey slamming a water streaked glass beside it he poured a half a glass and topped up the rest with sparkling water before Jordon took the bottle and took a straight drink ignoring the burn in his throat
In the truck Caesar grimaced as he moved a belt of flash bangs that was digging into his hip the amount of military grade weaponry the mercenaries possessed worried him more than he could comfortably admit peering out through a gap in between the seats he saw Mark twiddling his hands in between the woman who had caught him in the compound and the man who had run him over "go over the mission with me one more time what are you intending to do" the man who had run him over asked Mark
Mark sighed and slouched in his seat "we're going to the clearing where I proposed to Trish when we get there I'll signal the apes and we wait for them to come if they show up which they will I'll explain to Caesar through sign what Dreyfus is demanding and if he agrees we wait in the clearing while he goes and tells the others if he doesn't then we say goodbye to our lives" Mark said tiredly Garrison huffed and reached into his pocket Caesar held his breath as he produced two phones
"Fredricks ordered me to return these and since we have a new commander who clearly doesn't know what he's doing I've been advised to give you a weapon on the count you only use it for protection against the apes" Garrison lied Mark raised his eye brows and then realised Garrison was lying Afterall Fredricks was driving and There wasn't a cat in hells chance that GreyStoke would permit Mark to be walking around with a loaded firearm Erica maybe but not him making a split second decision Mark looked directly at the rear view mirror and opened his mouth
