The Last Of Us (Fan-Fic)

Summer- Chapter Two- Part 3 The Fireflies

After looking all over, I finally found one of those metal doors. I got hold of the chain and pulled it until we were able to fit under. The brick fence ahead of us was broken and the only whole piece left was the part we hid behind. "There's our boy" Tess stated, pointing at Robert. Robert was a tight-faced man, dark hair pulled back into a small ponytail and wearing a striped sweatshirt. He headed into a building, probably knowing we were around. "That cocky son of a bitch" She uttered. "Let's go wrap this up," I said, focusing on the purpose of what we were doing.

I hopped over the wall and hid behind the next box. "Shipments have been dry a long time" A man spoke. "Yeah, well we lost our contacts in the North, lost our contacts in the North, lost our contacts in the south. Shit. I don't know who's left out there to sell us stuff. Guess this is why we're taking shitty protection jobs".

We both moved to the next box a few yards away. "Let's be smart about this. There's a lot of them" Tess pointed out. I scanned the area, looking for the best place to make my next move. "Fucking Robert. That rat better is good for it" Their conversation continued. "Even if he is, then what? I'm telling you, this zone is done for. We better think of an exit strategy". "You're insane. Going outside the wall is suicide".

I edged to the next object which turned out to by a large crater, easy to hide behind. "Plenty of the other smugglers do it. What do you think's gonna happen here once supplies run out?". "I'll still take my chances".

By this time I was able to see one of the men talking, and he had his back turned. I quickly shuffled towards him, staying as quiet as I could. I grabbed him by the neck and strangled him, not wanting to waste my shiv.

I wasn't confident that the over guy didn't hear me, but I wasn't going to take any chances, I would have to get him as well. I stayed low, picking up a single brick as I went forward. After focusing my hearing, I guessed that the other guy was now further away. As I moved into the next room, with an old boat, I realised I was correct as he was right there, quickly ducking down I gripped the brick in my hand, ready to use it. It wasn't till the man started to move. I noticed that there was another man. My chances were low, but I had Tess to help out.

I moved over to the stacked boxes; I knew that one of the men was behind there. Only when I listened carefully, I noticed they were both behind there. I was about to go around and kill the first guy when I saw another man at the end of the room. There wasn't much time, so when one of the men came close with his back turned, I grabbed him and shived him in the neck.

I might have made a bit too much noise, but I had to deal with him quickly when I had the chance. One of the men had since left the room which meant from what I could see; there was only one man left. I quickly strangled him seeing as I had used up my shiv on the last guy.

He had six spare bullets, so grabbed them and waited for Tess. She came by in seconds, no wounds or injuries. "That office. Robert must've run in there. Let's go" She said. I slowly edged around the side of the object we were behind when I saw another man, he could've been the man I had thought left earlier, but I wasn't one to remember faces. I threw a brick at the wall in front of him. "What was that?" He asked, obviously startled.

The man walked forward in an attempt to find out the source of the brick. I snuck up behind him and strangled him quickly, he had no ammo, but the health kit on top of the crate came in handy. I shuffled over to the office door and opened it, the first room of the office was small, it only contained a worn out couch and a table with a few cards on it. "Let's not wait it out" Tess advised, already heading for the next door. I opened the door and immediately saw Robert.

"Oh shit," I said, getting back, he had a gun and started to shoot at us. We stood at both sides, behind the wall. "Get back! Get the fuck back!" He screamed at us. "We just wanna talk Robert," Tess said. "We ain't got fuckin' nothin' to talk about". "Put your gun down" Ordered Tess. She slightly edged around the door, but Robert shot at her, thankfully she didn't get hit. "Yeah... Go fuck yourself!" He said, flinging his empty gun at us.
