Glitched! Cryaotic x Reader

Chapter Thirty-One

A/N: And we're back. Just like Cry. I'm excited for his content again :)

The car sputtered to a stop. Cry and I exchanged a look before a small smirk formed on his face. His eyes flicked to the steering wheel, then back to me. I gave him a disapproving look, but he threw his hand down on the horn.

It echoed in the open air, and everyone in the back of the car jumped awake in a frenzy. The horn stopped as soon as it started and Cry's hilarious laughter was the only thing you could hear.

I tried to stop myself, but their startled faces made me burst out laughing, too. Plus, Cry's laughter was contagious. There's no way you couldn't at least smile when he laughed.

He caught his breath and wiped tears from his eyes, everyone glared at him, trying to keep calm.

"Fuck you, man!" Scott yelled first, throwing his hands in the air, but hitting the roof of the car.

Cry started to laugh, again.

That's when I saw it.

"Get down!" I practically yelled, fumbling for my gun and throwing the car door open. I hid behind it for cover as a few shots echoed, getting lodged into the windshield.

I stood up and took a few shots.

"There are people in the trees!" I informed everyone, taking another shot.

I saw someone fall off a high branch, the smack of their body made all the shots go silent. No one moved, we all had guns trained on each other.

"What do we do?" I heard Cry whisper to himself, louder than he intended.

"Who are you?" A voice in the trees shouted.

"Who are you?" I yelled back.

"We will shoot all of you down, now, tell us who you are!" The man's voice got louder as he spoke.

I exhaled, "We're just trying to find some shelter. We've been out here for weeks."

Cry and I exchanged a look as there was a long moment of silence.

After another minute or two, the man spoke again, "How many people you got?"

"Six!"

They went silent again. I could've sworn I heard the faint noise of static on a walkie.

"Okay! Put your weapons down!" The man yelled and his team in the trees complied, every gun went out of view.

Cry nodded his head, lowering his gun, but keeping it tight in his grip.

The man we were talking to was now climbing down a long ladder. His feet hit the ground at the same time as two other guards.

The Main man had no gun out, but the guards on either side of him had their guns pointed to the ground, but ready to shoot.

They walked slowly. When they finally reached us, he stuck out his hand at me.

"Ma'am, we apologize. Bandits are common in their areas, so we take a lot of precautions." He didn't break eye contact.

I glanced at his hand, and took it in my own, giving a firm shake.

"All's forgiven. You said you take a lot of precautions, you wouldn't have set up base around here, would you?" I tried prying information out of him.
