Hide And Seek ( Alex Goot Elle Fowler Sam Tsui )

Chapter 31

All the forces were gathered in a large room, the largest apartment in the building. Almost five forces were living in the three blocks. Alex could not even remember some of their names.

" So you're saying that a pigeon from prison came in? " Max asked. He was the leader for one of the many forces, and one of the younger ones.

Chrissy nodded, brushing her hair behind her ears. She had recently redyed it, and covered all the brown ugly roots with purple. Elle was seated beside Alex, listening to the exchange of information.

Before anyone could say anything else, there was a loud bang, that seemed to startle everyone.

Almost at once, all the forces stood up. Alex reached for his knife, as the others did too. Elle drew out her own knife. No one could use a gun, for resources were now extremely limited.

" It's coming from about ten metres away," Mitch, from the Ferraris, said, turning his head in the direction of the sound.

No one questioned him. Everyone here had developed some skills over the decade, to be able to survive. Max pushed the door open with his boot, before everyone started out. Chrissy was still a little weak, but moved quick for someone as injured as she was.

Alex could not believe how many people were there. He knew that a lot of forces was coming in to help, but it was only now did he realise that there was so many of them.

" Back off! Back off! When are the Assassins coming?"

Alex ground his teeth together, upon hearing the posh British voice shouting above the racket of the crowd. The Americans seemed to be shying into the shadows.

Elle jumped up and grabbed on to a pipe, in order to see what the scene was like. Many of the force members were taller than she was.

" What's it outside?" Alex asked her.

" About twenty soldiers, blindly shooting and asking for the Assassins, " Elle summarised.

Will clapped his hands together, just loud enough for the people gathered in the tiny corridor to hear.

" Our first operation together as a team. Take this as practise, work together. Chrissy, do you mind taking the lead? This is Los Angeles, we don't know it well," Will said, facing Chrissy, who was easy fo find because of her purple hair.

She nodded, taking both of her sharpest knives out and walking through the crowd.

" Split in half. One follow me into first action while the rest go with Alex and Elle for behind the scenes action," she stated.

Instantly, the many groups just turned into two. Everyone knew their own strengths, and which job they were better at. Alex had never seen such a disciplined group of people.

" Alright, okay, let's go."

" Where are the Assassins? Your guardians? They're afraid of us!" a British soldier laughed, pointing his gun at random citizens who were watching.

Suddenly, a knife fly through the air, hitting that very soldier in the back of his neck. The man stopped in his speech, falling to his knees before falling onto the floor, dead.

The other men turned their heads. Chrissy was at the end of the road, getting up from the position she had utilised to throw the knife. Alex watched her from behind a pillar. She showed completely no sign of fatigue or weakness. She was a lioness, end of story.
