Rescue (pt. 2)

I looked in the room filled with guns and Xian motioned for him "Go grab one for your picking, take any ones you want, just make sure you attempt to keep them all in one piece by the time we get back with you and your friend." I nod as I look around for a handgun I might like and find  a Glock 19 and 4 combat knifes that are nice but are a bit too big for me, I walk out the room and Xian gives me my gear which consists of my belt which has my grapple hook on it and a extra wire for the hook, and mt knife holsters that has two knife holsters that goes below my arms which I put my combat knifes into, and two more below it that goes to my waist that I normally would put my parrying daggers in but since I don't have any I put my other combat knifes into them, I then turn it around and put my gun into my gun holster I have attached to the back of the holster sling. After putting the holster on I grab my mask and look at it and then notice my ear piece and I get a bit worried that I may never hear Bruno as Yang ever again,  I hear talking and see that everyone else is also almost ready and I go up to Xian and tap his shoulder that asks "So are we taking everyone in this building or just the ones that shows up in time?"

He is looking at the computer screen then stops and turns some then goes back to the screen and points to it "This is where they have Bruno and the followers." He shows me a video of the followers being dragged out of the back of a van and Bruno is kicked out of the vans passengers side and dragged in by his leg into the building through a garage door and the door comes down and then Xian stops the video. He stands up straight and walks and grabs a Mac 11 and a M 1911 and puts them in his robe and walks out and I tilt my head some and look at him "Thats all you are going to get? No rifle or machine gun or anything like that?" I ask as he walks off shaking his head "With my abilities I don't need them, nor do I need these, but it never hurts to take them anyways its not like they are super heavy anyways." He walks out the room and I watch people scramble out and about grabbing weapons and robes I walk outside the room then down the hall and see people loading up in some black buses with tinted windows and I look inside one and I see a hand waving at me so I climb into the bus, I stop in front of the person and they pat the seat next to them so I sit down and look at them "Need something?" I ask and they shake there head and just looks forward staring at the side of the bus.

After a while the bus starts to take off and we drive down the road and across a bridge and into a part of the town I have never been to, it looked like a old rundown road with houses that are barley being held up and some of them ever had been burned down, we passed a farm that didn't have field but a giant mud pit filled with dead crops. The farther we get into the new part of town the more it turns into a rundown industrial city and then we stop and the bus stops and we all stand and wait of the doors to open up, the door slides open slowly and a hooded follower climbs aboard the bus and says quietly "Ok, the building is right across the street and it looks quiet, so lets be the same and slowly get in and go through as quietly as we can, the quieter we are the easier our job is and the least deaths we have to deal with." They jump off the side of the bus and we all follow behind, another bus pulls up and the leader does the same and a large group of followers clutters around the door and I look at Xian "Isn't this a bit of over kill? I mean how many people are there in there?" I ask and he shakes his head slowly "Trust me, we will need all the people we can get." He starts to pick the lock and I look around at everyone else who are all just quiet hooded figures.

I feel a bit awkward and I put my mask on and sighed some then I hear the click of a door unlocking and Xian opens the door and quietly walks into the building I follow in and so does a lot of the other people we all huddle around boxes and barrels, the inside of the building looks like a old plane hanger that had a paint job so that it looks more of a light greenish and black color, I scan the building and see that it is abandoned and then I look at Xian "Where is all the guards with guns, and Bruno and the followers?" Xian shrugs and stands up and looks around some more then walks to the center of the room and motions for everyone to come in and they do and we all look around the building for people but cant find any I walk down the stairs from the second floor and sighed and looks at everyone who is talking to each other I walk up to Xian "Looks like we..........." I start to say as I hear the door that we came in open and in comes and hits the ground with a clank, a flash bang that explodes and disorientates  me and I fall over and holds my eyes screaming some then I hear more clanks then some hissing is heard and the rumble of shoes is heard along with some gun shots, I scamper around the flood and behind the nearest solid feeling object I can find.

I hear screams and I grab for my handgun and yell out "HEY WHATS HAPPENING PEOPLE!" I get many responses but all of which come to the same answer: a ambush, I rub my eyes in vain hoping to be able to see again I hear a painful scream and someone falls on top of me and I wack my head on the ground I roll over to get the body off of me and someone grabs me and quickly drags me across the room and leans me up against what feels like a wall and then screws around with my eyes and I start to be able to see out of them a bit and I see that it is Xian and I pat his back and nods "Thank for your help Xian!" He nods and points to the area the fire right is happening and says "Looks like we have our only exit cut off." I point to the giant doors that are used for planes "What about theses?" I ask as he shakes his head "We cant get them opened, they have been welded shut." I sighed as a bullet hits Xian in his mask and sparks flies as he falls over and I look down at him and he slowly gets up and shakes his head as blood drips form where the mask is connected to his face "Might of hurt, but it'll take more then that to get to me!" He says as he stands up and pulls out his Glock an motions for me "Come on! We got some friends to rescue!"
