Worth it All

Chapter 5

William turned slowly, his hands in the air. He eyed the soldier in front of him, noting his outfit. He was an average guard, dressed in black cargo pants with a ballistic vest on top of a brown t shirt. His face was covered with a black half mask, only showing his eyes.
His rifle was leveled evenly at Williams chest while his eyes switched between him and Scarlet.
"Who are you and why are you here?"
William snorted, "The right person to be pointing that at, best keep that on me if you wanna live."
His sarcasm caught him off guard, but not enough to leave an opening for escape.
"And what about you, cutie?" He pointed the rifle at Scarlet.
Big mistake.

William vaulted forward and caught the barrel of the rifle, pulling it out of the guys hands. He went for the knife on his hip, but Scarlet cracked him in the back of the head with her bat, knocking him out instantly.
William let out a low appreciative whistle, "Glad you held back with me, don't think it would be fun to have permanent brain damage."
"Keep apologizing and worrying about me," she pointed it at him, "and I won't hold back."
He gave her a lopsided grin, "As you wish, my lady."
She punched him in the arm, which he held and then looked at her like she was crazy.
She gave him a dimpled smile, "Good, now let's go." She turned and jumped over the fence without even touching it. William followed suit, landing beside her in a crouching position.
The parking lot in front of them was filled with guards, and somehow Joe made it to the other side unseen.

He looked over at them and smiled, giving a little wave. William flipped him off before they snuck around to him using the cars, keeping the guards completely oblivious. Once together they went room to room, looking for Karma and taking down guards at the same time. Merlin and Cody were mirroring them on the top floor, gathering information from a few as well and staying in contact with walkie talkies.

William came up to the 3rd door, it was much cleaner then the others and seemed to be kept in good condition. He opened it slowly and entered. One man standing in the center of the room, facing the opposite direction. He wore a loose crimson button up shirt with black jeans and boots. His dark brown curly hair was shoulder length and tied back into a pony tail. He gave off an aura of feral monstrosity, and seemed to be looking down at something in his hands.
William came into the room quietly, Scarlet and Joe right behind him. He stopped a few feet behind Karma, keeping his arms ready for a fight.
"You're finally hear, took you long enough."
He turned around and cut them with a gaze from his dark brown eyes, a half smile coming across his face under his light stubble.
"Good to see you again pup," he looked Scarlet up and down, then licked his lips, "and you brought company, how nice of you."
Without thinking William lurched forward and clocked him. His head flew back a little before he recovered and stared him down, looking less calm and more pissed.
"Bad move, pup," he smacked him into the wall, "very bad move."
