Multiversal Swarm

Bounty

I entered the house and fired two shots. One hit it's mark in the sleeping guards head, the other landing square in the alarm system.... The only alarm.

I heard slick swoop in behind me. He moved silently across the kitchen. He peered down the hallway that connected the living room. He looked back and gave the motion. We both fanned out to the separate doors on opposite sides of the room. I opened mine slowly and it was the basement.

"Shit" slick whispered under his breath. I looked back to see a little girl with a teddy bear.

It only took a second but I could see his concern. He was young, inexperienced but talented. He needed the lesson I was about to teach him. It's never failed once...

The girl dropped to the floor on the carpet. His head snapped towards me with shock. He wasn't able to speak. Instead of giving him the chance to blow our cover, I told him the truth.

"Leave your kindness for your loved ones and be prepared to follow orders! You think you can turn back now you're an idiot. If you have to kill a kid or a woman, so be it!" I said hushed but still sternly.

I looked over to see his door was a closet. That girl came from upstairs. I know that girl was their only child but I doubt they only had one guard. If they had a separate guard then he wouldn't have been able to radio help. I was just too fast. He's probably grabbing a... Fuck.

"Slick get the fuck back!" I Shouted as I tackled him down the stairs!

As we fell backwards the wall next to us had a hole blown in it. We tumbled down and landed in a heap at the base of the stairs.

"Don't move just trust me on this!" My hand was laid on the step pointing up to the top of the stairs. It looked like we both had broken our necks. As I saw him round the corner he shouted at us. Neither one of us moved. He stepped down, dropped his weapon to his side for a second, and right into my guns line of fire. I lifted my hand and head and fired two into his forehead.

We got up and collected ourselves.

"Alright new plan the covers blown. If the blast didn't waste anyone up then the fact the neighbors window and other shit just shattered. I'll take his shotgun just in case." I said picking the gun up.

Slick nodded and we rushed up the stairs. First two doors we kicked in were a bathroom and the security room. One door left. Slick took the side cover of the door. I kicked it in. Immediately I saw the biggest issue.

A Third fucking guard! He wasn't just a guard though. He was a loose affiliate of mine. The timeline just changed completely. He knew the moment I was in here didn't he?... Then why didn't he grab the girl? No he made a mistake...

"Where's Alex?" He said kicking slick against the wall. He landed on me with his hand over my face!

"Sleeping on the job eh? Mr.Garrett!" I said flipping him over my head. I jumped up to my feet and delivered a dropkick to his chest that sent him flying backwards!

He landed and kipped up to his feet! I rushed him and threw a punch but he turned it on me! He grabbed my arm and delivered a knee to my ribs and whipped me around! As I came around he hit me in the face with a massive headbutt! I felt the blood rush out of my nose instantly! As the pain set in he punched me in face so hard I almost went out then and there!

Slick tackled him from behind in a vain attempt to help me. All he did was send all three of as tumbling down the stairs... In a roar of cuss words and insults we stumbled down the steps. As we rolled onto the dead guard we tried to separate and slick threw a punch... That hit me because Garrett ducked.

"FUCKING HELL!" I screamed as my eyes started to water. I couldn't fucking see!

I looked over to the other two only to see Garrett beating the absolute dogpiss out of slick. I threw a knife from my belt but with my vision it hit him in the hip! I was aiming for his neck. He screamed and slick grabbed the knife and ripped it out!

Garrett headbutt slick while he screamed! Slick went limp as I jumped up and hit Garrett with a dropkick in the head! I landed on my neck and his face instantly became a bloody mess!

He moaned as he touched his face. I could tell with that kick I'd totally fucked up his left eye. The orbital bone was broken and the side of his face was gushing blood.

"Garrett... We've fought enough Tonight. Let's call this even-" I stopped as he threw a knife from his belt.

I was too slow to hit the knife with mine but his hand was now punctured all the way through! His knife flew past my head. At first I thought he missed but then the large thud hit the floor...

I didn't even look. I picked Garrett up. He punched me in the face! I kicked him in the balls! He dropped to his knees. In that moment he drew a knife. He jabbed me right in my side! I screamed in agony! It was like fire! I headbutt him and he recoiled! I headkicked him and followed it up with a Superman punch!

He drew a gun and before I could react he shot me in the shoulder! I threw my last throwing knife! It lodged in the barrel of the gun! When he fired the gun exploded in his hand! I pulled my ankle piece from it's holster!

One shot.

As he slumped to the ground I turned and saw slick... His legs were the only thing I could see of his body. But the pool of blood slowly leaking out around him. I limped up the stairs picking up my gun from the guards blood pool. I heard sirens approaching.... I walked into the master bedroom.

I walked over to the closet and fired one shot into it... A small slump and a womans blood curdling scream. The next shot silenced her. I looked out the window and saw 5O was just about here. I slipped out the back and into the woods. About ten minutes after I got into the getaway vehicle.

I told the driver to go and that it was a code "Red Dragon". The cover got blown and now I'm going to suck at the agency for awhile.

I called my mission director.

"Hey next time you tell me to kill some corrupt oil tycoon, Maybe tell me he has fucking agency connections!"
