Rescue (pt. 3)

I hide behind some crates and fumble around on me still not being able to see perfectly. I reach for my Glock and looks to see that it is loaded up properly. I look above the crate and I see groups of gang looking members shooting into curtain of smoke with M16's and HK 53's. I aim at them and fire at there legs and fire away, most of my shots miss and they notice me and one of them points at me and starts to fire. I duck down behind the crate as bullets rip through it and one just barley misses my shoulder and I start to scramble away. I look around and see that the only way to get more cover is to get downstairs but right now I'm in the open where everyone can see me, I run to the guard rails and hops over them into the smoke. Once I enter in I try to see someone who is from our team while shots ring out around me. I see barrel flashes in front of me and I run and jump and grab the barrel and yank it out of the persons hands. I grab the person and put them on the ground and pulls out my gun and puts it to there head. "Friend or foe?" I ask and they stutter "F-friend" I look down and sees his cloak and hood and I let him go and I hide behind the thing that he is behind to. I feel it and look at it, its a metal box with stuff dripping down from it. I look around and see a dead body on it with blood pouring from its mouth and one of its eyes gone, I then look back at the person. They are close enough that I can see that they are sad and pats him on his back. "Was it a friend of yours?" He shakes his head and puts his cloak back on and hides behind the metal box and shakes a lot.

I hear someone yelling and it gets louder and then a person passes me with there rifle in a swinging position. I run after him but not before they smack a cloaked figure in the head with the side of there rifle. I pull out one of my knifes and stab him in the shoulder and throws them to a near by wall and grab the rifle and hits them in the spine and they cry out in pain and falls over. Another shadow figure runs up but this one fires at me. I flip out of the way of the bullets and then slide under them and launch up and grab there arms. After I twist there arms I shoot them in there leg with the rifle and tosses him to the ground. It takes shots to ring by my head for me to realize that I have been out in the open in the entire fight. so I look for some place to hide and I slip on something and slide into someones legs. I get up and look at the person only to see a barrel at my head and a shot rings out as I just barely moves out of the way and my ears pops and starts to ring. I kick the legs out from under the person and bash them in the chest with the blunt end of one of my knifes. He rolls around in pain and then grabs my leg as I try to run and I fall over. I drive my foot into his face and he rolls around moaning in pain. As I get up I notice that the smoke is starting to fade and I look down and see what made me slip. Its a pool of blood and I follow it up and see a dead cloaked member with his intestines spilled and smashed out on the floor. 

I look at my back and sides and sees the blood on it and frowns a bit. Slowly the gunfire starts to slow down and I look around and see the remaining cloaked figures at a standstill with the opposing force. A man with a stylish black zip up leather jacket with the collars popped, along with brass spiked knuckles and white camouflaged cargo pants walks up. He has a stern look on his face with short black hair and blue eyes and a scar going from the left side of his lip to his chin. He looks around at all of us and points to Xian. "You, are you the leader of this men?" He asks in a sarcastic tone, Xian nods and walks up to him and folds his arms. "Why yes they are, and are these lackeys yours?" The man grins and nods and wiggles his fingers around some. He looks around at the remaining men and so do I, "Well from the looks of it, you have more dead men then we do." The man says then leans in close to Xian, "So who's the one with the lackeys now, hmm?" He grins and then turns around and motions to one his men.  He leans close and wispears in the mans ear and then the man nods and walks up to me and points a handgun at my gut and looks at me. "Are you Yin?" I nod some and he steps back and motions me with his gun, "This way please" I look at Xian and he nods and I nod back and start to follow the man. We walk to the entrance and I look back at everyone and I see the young man from behind still cowering in the corner, I frown some feeling a bit of pity for him. As I walk outside I see a large group of cars and vans and I scan the area and see a few armed people around the vehicles. The Stylish man is leaning against one and looks up at me then motions me to him.

I reluctantly walk to him slowly, he drums on the sides of the car and leans forward some. "So I'm sure you know who it is that we have. And if you want to get them back then it looks like you are going to have to come with us." He says grinning some and I scoff some and folds my arms at him, "Ya ok, cuz you know, your just going to take me there no questions asked and let me have him back for me, taxes not included right?" He frowns a bit at my remark and stands up straight, "Well if taxes are a few of your broken teeth then ya, taxes included." He reaches for the car door and opens it up and points to the seat. "Now lets not make these things hard. Get in the car and we will go on a little adventure." I slowly get into the car and the man shuts the door quickly, "Well, I guess its Yin to the rescue."
