Chapter 23//All Beginnings Must End

**FREYA'S POV**

We approach the formidable B&B Enterprises warehouse, a massive complex with various floors. Tyler softens the purr of his Porsche by cutting the engine. He silently steps out of the car and I follow him, he jogs to the back of the car and pulls open the trunk. He gives me night vision goggles, I study them in my hands before putting them on. Tyler does the same and we both get AK-47's out of a black gym bag before continuing walking.

He's pacing ahead so I put on a smooth jog to catch up with him. He glances at me.

"You know what you're doing right? We've been over it loads of times. Stick with me and only break away if I say so, okay?" He questions me.

"Yeah. I know."

He puts on a jog I can match until we get to the back of the complex, where we breach. I slow my jog as I am consumed by thoughts, I look up to see if I can see Lui's chopper anywhere, I can't see anything. Instead I see our sniper cover, Arlan and Brock. Brock shines a light toward me and I acknowledge it with a wave. I continue to jog before I'm suddenly slammed back into the metal works. Tyler's hand comes over my mouth to stop me from talking.

"Fuck sake Freya, you walked right out in front of them, they're round this corner..." He whispers as he cocks his head to the side to listen for anything.

Before I could move and adjust myself, I see a quick flash of light and a man on the floor, with Tyler standing over him. Tyler loosens his shoulders and clicks his neck before moving on.

I stand there in amazement before quickly following him into a dark entrance.

In the dark entrance, it seems like there is nothing, it just seems so lifeless. I switch night vision on and Tyler does the same. I stare at him and gesture for him to do something. He stays still and slowly points behind me with a finger to his mouth. In one movement I turn and see a man less than 10 inches away from where I'm crouched, looking around in the dark, my heart starts to thump uncontrollably, I look back to Tyler for assistance but he tells me to take him out, but silently.

I nod and quickly get up and run full throttle at the man, he lets out a gruff mumble as I sit on top of him and punch him in the face, repeatedly. I look down for a second and gulp, I feel a twinge of doubt and distress. But before I can get up, he opens his eyes and grabs my ankle from underneath me, sending me into the air and crashing down onto the concrete, I yelp in pain and realise I'm on my back. I start to crawl away but the man drags me back in and begins to grab my hair. He hits me once and drops my head onto the concrete, by now, I'm crying. I put my hands up to my face and curl into a ball, feeling a round of kicks go into my stomach, I paint the floor with blood and spit and start to feel light headed as I try to breathe in. Bracing my weak frame for another round of kicks, I'm surprised to feel nothing. I take my hands away from my face and see Tyler restraining the man, before ultimately snapping his neck. I gasp in quickly, in shock, and fumble to my feet.

"Rule Number 1, fight your own battles, Freya." Tyler says with no emotion.

"Rule 2, never let someone get you on your back." He reaches for me to get me up.

"You okay?" He says as he touches my lip with his thumb, I feel stinging and lick my lip, only to be greeted by a crimson metallic taste.

"Yeah I'm fine." I grit, I obviously wasn't fine, in fact I was pissed with Tyler.

Tyler looks at me and sighs, he calls into Evan through the walkie talkie saying that we've made it in.

**TYLER'S POV**
Evan replies with, 'Any injuries?' I glance at Freya and say 'No,' before switching the radio off completely.

"Tyler? You can't do that why didn't you tell him I was hurt?" She glances at me as we proceed down the corridor into another room.

I turn to her quickly, "Because, Freya, I'm your leader as of now and what I say is what goes, got it sweet cheeks?" I say to her, towering over her small frame.

She gulps and takes a step back, looking down at her shoes before continuing into the room ahead of me.

Before I can say something, another man runs at her, but instead of doing nothing, she ducks and misses his punch, before firing two round into his stomach. She looks back, and says "Sorry, sweet cheeks, did I just save you?" I stand there, tongue in cheek trying not to laugh.

She smiles at herself before continuing down the corridor with her handgun, ready to shoot anyone in her way. I take a few big paces to catch up with her, so I'm right behind her. I see something flashing on the door, which she doesn't see. Suddenly, I realise what it is- A C4. I push Freya over into a corner, her body crammed into it, with my massive frame covering her. As I do so, I hear the beeping and explosion go off, rubble and shrapnel hits my back, but it doesn't hurt.

**FREYA'S POV**
Tyler shoves me into a corner, his hands cradled round my back, and my head tucked into him, I question him at first then I hear the explosion go off, making my ears ring over and over again.

**TYLER'S POV**
I dust the remaining rubble off of me before checking Freya. She's fine, just shocked. I hear Brock radio into us, 'Are you guys okay!? The C4 was in our blind spot, are you both okay?' I look at Freya again, 'Yeah, yeah we're fine.' 'Okay, I suggest you duck in a minute, sniper rounds are gonna be going into that building, you've got multiple tangos on the other side of that double door.' I peer through the next room and see the double doors. I grab Freya's wrist and push her down so she's protected by a office desk. I squeeze in the space with her, she's in front of me, basically sitting on me, her shoes scraping, trying to find a grip on the concrete surface. I put my hands around her neck so they're loosely dangling by her chest, I reload slowly so she sees what I'm doing. I feel her tighten in her chest then relax.

"Stay. Down." I say to her through gritted teeth. As I finish, the troopers breach the doors, shouting. Arlan and Moo open fire, one round coming in after the other. Intense screaming and baffled chatter is amongst the few things the troopers are saying in front of us. Freya's whispering 'Shit, shit, shit...' over and over again to herself. I smirk and discretely fire my AK without looking over the barrier, hoping to penetrate a few bodies that stand before the door.

"Flemming! Mason! He said take the girl alive, kill the 'Wildcat!'" Someone shouts.

**FREYA'S POV**
I hear Tyler growl, he readies up and crouches. "Stay here." He runs at one man, I peek around the corner. The man he runs at turns around in a blink of an eye and forcefully hits Tyler round the head with his own gun. Tyler lands heavily onto the floor, not moving. I gasp suddenly and cover my mouth. The room goes silent, before I hear laughing. Footsteps grow closer to where I am, I shut my eyes, holding back tears. As I open my eyes I see him... The mysterious man from the convenience store. Josh. He smiles at me as he bends over.

"Do you want to go down with a fight or no struggle?" He smirks as he grabs me by my collar and pulls me up, his inked muscles pulsing out of his bulletproof vest.

I see the other guy, pull Tyler away, before going, Tyler shouts "Don't fucking touch her!!" Before being punched again and spluttering.

Josh pulls my arm up behind my back and I cringe in pain. He doesn't start walking, so I start to walk instead. As I do, he swipes my legs and I fall down to my knees. In agony, I shout 'Fuck!' Only to be accompanied by his laugh.
