Part 9

36 hours later.

Bullets were flying and Anna screamed curses at Isaiah and his men. Anna loaded her guns and sprinted from her hiding spot, she crossed the room and shot a couple of Isaiah's guys down in the process.

"Your ass is mine, Demico!" Anna shouted, she jumped out from her newest hiding spot and took out a guard with her hands. She worked her way through the criminal assholes and finally got her hands on Isaiah.

"I knew you were one of them, you were too good. Too calm" Isaiah spat, blood flew out of his mouth as Anna's hands were locked around his neck.

"You killed my partner, you probably don't even remember him" Anna snarled. Fire danced in her eyes and Isaiah knew he was done for, this woman wasn't just furious, she was raging with anger and revenge.

"I watched him blow up in front of me" Anna shouted at him. Isaiah was coughing and trying to pry her bloody hands off. Anna released him and kicked him in the face.

Someone she missed took a shot at her, hitting her in the back. She screamed out in pain and fell forward.

Her vest had caught the bullet but she wasn't unharmed for that reason, she gasped for air and dragged herself closer to Isaiah, she pulled out her knife and plunged it into his thigh.

He screamed out in pain and so Anna pulled the knife out and plunged it into his arm as well.

She pulled herself up to face him and then she got on top of him.

That's where she made a mistake, she hadn't seen Isaiah grabbing a gun, so he shot into her chest, mere inches from where her vest ended.

Anna screamed out in pain, he continued shooting at her chest till she threw herself off, she put her hand up to stop it and so a bullet pierced her shoulder.

"You're dead, Lorenzi" Isaiah spat as he aimed at her head. "No– you are" Anna said breathlessly and flung the knife straight into his head.

His body went limp and he fell backwards. Anna dropped onto her back and started clawing at her vest, needing the air after having been shot so many times.

The pain was unbearable.

Yet, she knew she couldn't stop now. She was far from done.

She flung the vest off and got up, slowly and painfully. She grabbed extra guns and pulled her long sleeve shirt off.

Revealing a thin t-shirt underneath. Blood stained the white shirt she wore and she saw bruises forming all over her chest already.

She pushed herself to go on and so she went for the truck. The guards were gone, probably off looking for her.

Anna opened the door to the large truck and girls immediately screamed. Anna stood in front of the opening and saw small girls screaming in fear. "I'm CIA, i'm here to help you" Anna said and showed her hands.

"Come on, we need to get you out of here" Anna said and the girls started piling up to get out of the horrible truck they had been staying in for weeks.

"Wait, Demico is gonna kill us–""--He's dead. I killed him" Anna interrupted the girl. The girl started crying in what seemed like relief, suddenly someone started shooting at them.

"Go, go, go!" Anna screamed and shot back, using herself as a shield till the girls were out of the truck. "The police are coming!" Anna shouted to them as they ran for cover.

Anna ran to take cover when she hit a gas tank near the shooters. A huge explosion knocked everyone back, even Anna.

Her back hit a tree and she was knocked out instantly. While Anna was knocked out, someone grabbed onto her unconscious body and dragged her back to the building.
