Hide And Seek ( Alex Goot Elle Fowler Sam Tsui )

Chapter 21

Elle and Alex heard the gunshot too. They had to leave now. It sounded to have come from the direction of the gambling den, they had to ensure that Sam was alright.

" Hey man," Alex told the tattoo artist, who was in the middle of doing his doodle design on his left arm," We have to go now."

Elle dug around in her pocket and pulled out enough money to pay for the tattoo bits that was already done.

" We'll be back soon," Elle told him.

The tattoo artist looked dumbstruck, as if suddenly realising who was standing in front of him. The only words they heard escape from his lips were 'Nightmare Pair', before they ran out.

Alex dashed into the gambling den. Sam was ushering people out of the back door. He did not look overly flustered, it seemed like the bullet was not aimed for him. Elle pulled out her gun from where it was strapped to the side of her leg, loading it.

Sam took out his own pistol, pushing bullets into the chamber. Alex loaded his own, getting ready a grenade he kept in a small bag he wore arohnd his waist. Doing a glance over at his fighting mates and ensuring that they were all geared up, they went outside.

" Elle stay with me, Sam go solo. Report at old hideaway in one hour latest," Alex quickly whispered, running to the left side, whilst Sam ran on the right.

People were running around, and it was easy to blend in with them. Elle pulled Alex into a dilapidated building, climbing up the stairs and kicking the door open.

A girl and guy were locked in embrace, in the middle of a heated make out session. Elle was stunned. Gunfire was outside, and they were kissing like no tomorrow.

" Get out of here, go somewhere safe," Alex growled the command, sending the two of them stumbling outside.

Elle could not help but smirk as the two embarrassed young people hurried outside. Out of all places Alex and Elle could go and snipe, they had to pick this home. Unlucky for those two.

Alex started pulling out the parts of the sniper gun from several pockets in his vest, jacket and small bag. The pieces, both big and small, were on the floor. Alex quickly made sure every part was present before starting to assemble it. Elle took her normal gun and went to the window, to see what was the commotion all about.

" This is Nightmare Boy! " a soldier shouted, pointing at a boy with his hands shackled together.

Elle frowned in disapproval, they had caught the wrong man. Alex was already done assembling his sniper gun, and was now looking outside as well. The people of their town were quiet, as the British soldiers shouted their imminent victory. No one pointed out that that was the wrong man.

A gunshot rang out. The spectators ducked down instantly.

" We better go down and correct them," Alex told Elle, pulling the sniper gun apart and keeping the respective parts, before taking his own handgun out.

" It's dangerous, " Elle reminded him, tugging him on the sleeve.

" We can't let an innocent man die for us," Alex argued, already starting down the stairs. Elle sighed, but had no choice but to follow.

It was a big risk to take, exposing themselves out there. Sam and Kurt seemed to have been the one to shoot just now, but were nowhere to be seen. As they approached the scene, the citizens let them through, not blocking their way.

Alex raised his hand gun and shot the nearest soldier, in front of the ten other British soldiers. He had had his hood covering his hair and most of his features, but now he threw it off, revealing his face.
