HIDEAWAY
I walked through the door and was greeted by a huge crowd shouting and fighting. A sea of angry Frighters were swarmed around Fox's old office.
"Please calm down!" I heard a guy say. He was standing in front of the office, pushing people away. This guy looked about 30 with black hair that was slicked back, black hair. He was well built after years of training in an Encampment. This guy had risen quickly recently through the Frighter ranks. Although he had no Enhancements, he was already an Olympian and led his own crew, the Gunslingers who were helping him hold off the angry mob. I walked into the crowd, brushing people as I walked past. I made my way to the Gunslingers and helped them push people away. The captain smiled at me
"Good morning Hideaway ma'am" he said
"We're the same rank. There's no ma'am here" I replied
"Oh. Sorry" he said
"Good morning Smith by the way" I said. He smiled at me
"Have Wolf and Aramis come back yet?" He asked
"I'm afraid not" I replied. This conflict started when they left. They defeated Fox. Therefore they were the obvious candidates for taking over from Fox and becoming the Frighter General. But of course, they didn't think about that when they fucked right off to wherever they were right now. Now there was a power struggle as everyone wanted to be Frighter General. The Ryder House became a battleground almost overnight. Almost like how the two left. I was so angry about them leaving. Especially Aramis. How could he just up and leave me like he did? What kind of guy does that? Suddenly I was angry.
"Shut up" I said calmly to the mob. They fell silent for a few seconds, then the uproar started again.
"I said-"
"Hideaway don't" Smith said
"SHUT UP!" I shouted, holding up my hand up. Suddenly everyone apart from the Gunslingers went flying straight up. Smith sighed and looked up. Everyone was smashed against ceiling and staying there. A roar of anger came from them. One pulled out a gun. I pointed at it then pointed down. The gun suddenly fell to the floor.
"Now listen!" I shouted "I'm going stand right here with the Gunslingers! Like I have for the last two weeks!And you all know that you aren't going to get past us. And no one will enter this office until Wolf and Aramis are back! So leave! And if you don't, I will be forced to use violence!" I shouted, slamming my hand down, everyone falling back to earth. When they all stood up, some of them gave up and walked away. But most of them tried to get in anyway. I warned them. I slammed my hands on the floor and about 20 wooden planks rose from the floor, the Ryder House groaning. I pointed towards the crowd that was barrelling towards us. The planks went flying towards the mob. The planks hit almost everyone, knocking half the mob out cold. The Gunslingers started fighting whoever attacked them. The Frighters were now fighting each other for power. What is the world coming to?
