The Key

Chapter 24

The fight didn't start the way I expected. The entrance exploded and people fell in by the fives. So many was piling in that I didn't know where to shoot. There were flash bangs and smoke grenades everywhere.

''Stay focused,'' Diablo called out to everyone in the ear piece.

''That's a little hard to do when you cant see,'' Thilia called out. The air vents opened up and most of the smoke went away.

''I got it,'' Talana yelled into the earpiece. Judging by her voice you could tell she was pleased.

I looked over the balcony and started shooting again. I got five people who came in and went back down when bullets sprayed the wall I was behind. Diablo was behind some sort of counter shooting a high powered rifle. Maria dived behind the counter where Diablo was and started shooting her hand gun. My father was shooting his shotgun with no regard to human life. He shot one guy and the bullets went threw into another three. Donovan and Luis was well hidden at the top of the ramp shooting there sniper down on anyone who was in a blind spot. There was so much yelling that I knew there had to be half the countries in here. I could tell by the different languages being spoke. I reloaded my hand guns and looked over the ramp once more. I shot another five guys before taking cover once more. Grace came up the ladder and I almost shot her followed by Shay. Shay now had a little device in her hand. It was a smaller screen that she was carrying around now. She tapped in twice and a small wall opened up from behind us. She picked up a small grenade and threw it over the wall.

''Take cover,'' she yelled to everyone down below as the thing went off. There was a loud explosion as the place seemed to sway back and forth. Yet again more people piled in and the shooting was back up again.

''Talana,'' I called into the earpiece

''Here,''she replied.

''Now would be a good time for those sentries I told you about,'' I told her.

''Got it,'' she said. After about ten seconds two guns formed from the wall and was spraying anything down below us. There bullets seemed endless as it caused mayhem below.

''That's what I like to see,' Nia called into the earpiece to everyone. She stood up with out regard to anything and started shooting her sparkling purple guns. We all did the same as more people piled in. Sha grabbed another grenade and threw it into the entrance once more. It exploded and all you could hear was the people's moans and cries.

''Camera check,'' I called into the earpiece.

''Still a couple more hundred to go,'' Talana replied back.

''Im on it,'' Shay called out going back to her little screen. She laid it flat and an animation of a helicopter appeared. ''God I love this thing,'' She said as she added weapons to it. She closed the screen and about to minutes later we heard the sound of multiple helicopters. Guns spun outside as the same for inside. We all came from out of our cover now shooting toward the door and making our way out side.

''A hundred more,'' Talana cried into the earpiece as we made our way out. We shot anything that was moving in front of us. Within ten minutes everything seemed to have calmed down. Only thing you could hear now was the hovering helicopters ready to land.

We all looked at each other and laughed before coming into one giant hug. We stayed like this for a good ten minutes, talking laughing, praying and anything else that made us feel better.

''Shell's,'' Shay said threw our link.

''Yea,'' I replied alittle calmer and happier.

''This is all over,'' She said looking at me now, but still talking threw our link. I nodded as I looked at her. ''But there's still one thing you have to do,'' She nodded over to my dad, who was sitting at the entrance of the mansion typed building. I nodded as I left the group and made my way over to him. I slumped on the wall next to him and just starred at him. He gave me a quick smile and looked at the ground.
