Renegades

Chapter 1

I trained my eyes at the target as it foolishly danced at the clearing in the middle of the woods. Its body swaying to the rhythm of the song, looking like an absolute dullard. It picked up its phone and tapped away on the useless device on its hand while seemingly enjoying the company the mobile device gave her.

"Hey Angel, play something we actually like" one of its friends shouted over the loud music, obviously bored of the song the target was playing.

"Whatever" it shouted back and rolled its emerald green eyes. Nevertheless, it still complied and changed it to something else.

Meaningless techno music blared from the speakers as its so-called friends stood up from the ground and joined the target with its retarded dancing.

Immature. Callow. Unworldly. Ignorant.

A few words I thought of while watching them prance around the clearing surrounded by a forest.

'Time to strike'

Reaching for the knife, I outstretched my hand to the back pocket of my suit, and took out 3 small yet deadly throwing knives. My hands wrapped around the weapon. The same weapon I used to kill its mother.

But today, I'm not going to eliminate the target from this world, just immobilize and take it as a hostage, just how the Renegades want it. They think that she may be the ticket to our victory in the war against the government, a faction of evil people that uses a corrupt and fraudulent system to delude oblivious citizens.

My eyes focused on the hand of one of its company that was leaning on a tree, its weight being supported by its massive trunk. His attention was all focused on its sleek, black mobile device. In one swift move, I threw the knife and watched it cut through the air and impale his left hand. I heard a shout filled with pain and a string of curse words that left his mouth.

All but the target and its boyfriend, rushed to him as he tried to remove the knife as painless as possible, which was absurd without the anesthetics. His face contorted into pain as one of his friends tried to yank it out of the uncontrollably bleeding hand.

The target's friends looked fearful as they scanned the surrounding, their eyes sweeping past my hiding spot and I. They looked panicked as they lifted their injured crony up and walked on the path that led out of the forest.

I watched them leave and abandon the target with its lover, who looked disconnected from the world, and seemed to not care about the situation or let alone, their friend.

The target looked mesmerized as the boy looked intensely at its eyes. I took this chance to throw a knife on its leg while they were distracted. The first knife pierced its leg and the target let out a shrill, ear-splitting shriek.

The boy jumped away from shock and I took this opportunity to hurl the second knife at his hand. It penetrated the boy's hand and it let out an unmanly scream and a string of very colorful words.

Both of them looked panicked as the boy stood up and tried to carry the target bridal style, not minding the knife impaled on his hand. He grunted as he struggled to pick up the target, obviously, the knife is making it difficult for him to stand up.

Eventually, he stood upright and in both feet. He started to make his way to the path. By now, I was out of the shadows and directly behind them.

"Stop right there" I commanded the target's boyfriend, my mask muffling my voice a bit. For a few seconds, the boy's physique went from rigid to relaxed, as if thinking I'm going to help. But his relaxed state changed when he turned around.

He looked scared, frightened even, when he saw who it was. I mean, who wouldn't be scared of a person wearing a black suit with weapons and guns attached to the belt of the suit and is holding a gun to your chest.

"What do you want?" his voice trembled as he eyed the gun on my hand and the variation of guns on my waistband.

"The girl" I replied monotonously.

"I won't let you take my girlfriend" the boy said with spurious audacity. I could tell by the way his hands were trembling and his legs were quivering.

"Give me the girl and nobody gets hurt" I commanded with finality in my voice, making no room for arguments.

"No Josh, don't let her get me" the target weakly responded.

The boy then turned on his heel and ran as fast as he could with the target in his arms. But before he could get away, I shot him with my tranquilizer gun. The boy dropped to the ground, dragging the target down with him. Both of them screamed as the knives dug deeply into their flesh. The boy tried to get up but the anesthetic was now working its way up to his bloodstream, in a few minutes time, he will lose consciousness and have no memory of what happened when he wakes up.

I approached the target and grinned widely as it looked scared for its worthless, petty life.

'It should be, the target is as good as dead if its father makes one wrong move'

"Goodnight, sweetheart" I said sickly sweet as I took  the chloroform treated handkerchief out of my front pocket. The target struggled to get up as I positioned the piece of cloth on its nose and mouth. At first, it refused to breath but then, took a huge gulp of air making it fade in and out of consciousness.

I picked the target up with ease and pressed a button in my earpiece. The small device on my ear made a beep, indicating me that they can hear me.

"I've got the target with me. There's a passed out boy in the clearing which sustained minor injuries. And target's friends are most likely to be in an emergency room nearby." I spoke with no emotion in my voice.

"Roger that" someone said before the line went static.

I glanced at the girl in my arms and threw a distasteful look at it. 'How can they want this innocent girl to be their hostage?'I thought but then, shook my head. I'm way superior than this low-lying piece of scum, that's probably the reason why I call this target an 'it', this girl is a mere object to me.

I mentally shook my head to rid off my ridiculous thoughts.

'If I keep thinking like this, I might just loose my position in the Renegades. Nobody should sympathize any direct bloodline of a corrupt governor, like this girl's father' I thought while continuing on my path towards my car.

'This is going to be a long journey'
