Cloudy Days

Chapter 2.2

Down below Yarso rushed towards the guards just at the first shot. He pulled out his dagger and threw it at Fredrick, a direct hit on his forehead. He cheered silently as the other guards aimed their pistols and began firing.

Yet for Yarso he had his sub machine gun held in his hand and sprayed the thirty bullets it had at them. They all fell down after that.

"Yarso! Go after the woman!"

Yarso sneered "I was going to anyway..."

"You know what I mean!"

"Yeah sure Qualo"

Yarso took his dagger from the senator's head and continued down the alley way, he caught a glimpse of the woman as she turned to the right. He dashed over there using all the strength and energy he got from that burger... and the disgusting bogger he remembered dodged the anxiety in his legs for a moment. 

This woman, whoever she was, had some amazing endurance. Thanks to Yarso's shenanigans across the years he had to run from people ranging from basic fat shop owners to police attack dogs which helped him build up his endurance and speed for his dagger use.

But this woman would just keep running, as if she started with the police attack dogs in the first place. She would keep running across the town as if she were a trained marathon runner. His submachine gun was empty and he had two clips left in his back pocket. He pressed the eject button of the gun, dropping the empty clip to the ground. He took another from his holster and clumsily began to put it in its place. 

The woman tilted her head towards him and threw a kunai at Yarso. It traveled quickly towards him. In the few seconds that he had he reluctantly used his gun to block the kunai. It then pushed the gun from his grasp and sent it bouncing away from behind him. He cursed loudly, knowing that he would lose her if he went to get it back so he continued the chase. He then pulled out his pistol and immediately fired at her, none of the shots even scratched her clothes. Damn it! I knew I was a bad shot but not this bad.

With no ranged weapons he just continued chasing her. After ten minutes or so Yarso lost his breath and collapsed to the ground. She didn't only have great endurance but great speed too, they might have been 20 meters away and her hair bun was still intact.

"Qualo..." Yarso said taking small and fast breaths.

"She got away..."

"She's too damn good at running... even more than me."

Qualo signed.

"Alright just tell me where you at so I can pick you up. I put all the bodies in the limo and hide it someplace safe."

"How long would you think they need to find it?"

"Perhaps a week or two."

"Did you put the red herring?"

"Of course"

"Ok, just get me out of here" Yarso said while panting slowly now. "I guess I need more than dogs to chase me in the future."
