Hide And Seek ( Alex Goot Elle Fowler Sam Tsui )

Chapter 7.

Chrissy used a knife to further widen Sam's bullet wound the moment the rest of them had brought him over to a little clearing of land, where Kurt believed that they would get no interference from any soldiers. The boy bit hard into the piece of leather that Elle had given to him when he entered, to prevent himself from crying out loud in pain, because Chrissy was literally going to be sticking a knife in him and tearing his flesh open. The purple haired girl used tweezers to dig around the bloody hole in his flesh for a bit, before finally pulling a round piece of metal.

Sam heaved a sigh of relief, forehead sweating from the pain, finally allowing his body to relax from its tensed up state.

They had stopped in another part of the forest, near another river. And Chrissy had to help with Sam's bullet wound as soon as they possibly could. They all knew that they had to get the bullet out from his body, before it cause any further harm to him. 

Kurt watched the entire happening from afar, obviously nervous for his best friend. The skin on his hands were rubbed raw as he watched his friend get a bullet extracted from his flesh. He hoped that Chrissy knew what she was doing, because none of them had had a bullet in them before.

Sam lacked blood now. But Chrissy had said that the only way he was still alive was that the bullet and not torn open any important blood vessels and capillaries, otherwise he would have died the day he was shot. Such luck that he had. 

And now, they were the five again.

Alex could not express how relieved he was. The five of them had been best friends, since meeting together at the age of six, when they had worked together to get themselves three large pieces of meat from three greedy adults. Missing one member was like having one less limb. It did not feel right, because it was not. There had been five of them in the beginning, and it would be weird to suddenly lose one.

Chrissy was currently setting up the radio, getting ready for another broadcast.

" Hello hello, it's Shadow Huntress here again, with yet another update," she said into the microphone, for the first time in a long time, smiling. Chrissy took a towel in her hands and begun to wipe off Sam's dark red blood from her skin.

" Firstly, Lightning is back with us, he managed to find us, he isn't dead," Kurt spoke, unable to help the smile of happiness on his face.

" Second, we raided the renowned killing range. Murdered an entire team and set the Americans free," Elle said.

" We rode a tank out of there, but dumped it far behind us," Alex told the audience. Or at least, he hoped that there was people actually listening to them. They had never had to contact and 'talk' to the people of Los Angeles before, he had no idea how much people trusted them enough, to actually listen to their radio broadcasts.

" Killed a second team when they were chasing us," Sam added, with a proud smile. His face was still slightly pale, for he was rather weak, because of the few days where he had been drained of blood and with a lack of food. But Alex knew that Sam's skin tone was not a cause for alarm. In the few minutes after Chrissy had gotten the bullet out of him, his radiance and natural glow was gradually beginning to come back to him.

" All of us are well. And we're going to continue fighting. Show us that you can fight back too," Chrissy said, before turning the radio broadcast off.

She had said that if they spoke on it for more than a minute, there was a high chance that the British could find out their position due to some really advanced technology, that none of the Assassins had access to. All broadcasts had to be short and at different locations, just in case the British were on their tail. They could not let themselves be separated again, especially not after this time, where it was certainly too close for comfort.
