Hunter

Chapter 22

Hayden POV
Hayden crept through the hallways which twisted and turned in different directions, he knew he was near Black Skulls office which is where Stan clearly was since they had captured him.

He couldn't remember the exact way to his office from the cameras and was struggling to remember. Just as he was itching his head in thought two soldiers rounded a corner conversations. They weren't armed but in camouflage military suits with buzz cuts and pistols on their belt.

Hayden didn't hesitate to draw the revolver from his waistband and fire a bullet into each of their heads before they could react to seeing him. Hayden knew he didn't have much time left after he did this so he began a run whilst keeping the gun out.

The guards were getting much thicker so he knew he must be getting close.

Stan POV
Black skull still was calm even after seeing this situation. It seemed Stan was even more uneasy than David. "I'm sorry I completely forgot you were bound do you want to walk around? In here of course." David asked. "Yeah." Stan responded solemnly. He knew there was no point in trying to kill Black Skull this moment, besides he would probably whoop him as he's in much better shape. As Stan is old. Yup. He's old. Get over it.

Anyways Stan stood up and just walked around the room examine flower vases and small bookshelves as well as paintings. Davids Walkie sounded.
"Sir, gunshots have been fired. We believe we are trailing the mass murderer from the morgue."
The walkie sounded.
"Great, make sure you bring them to me alive." David asked. He then walked to a drawer in a corner near him and pulled a chrome revolver with 12 bullets and a six bullet chamber.

Stan was a little frightened. He didn't want the first time he saw Kaleb again in 50 years would be him dying.

Stan held strong though. Knowing David was a smart little cookie. He could probably read body language 🍪 🕴🏼

Kaleb POV

Kaleb walked outside of the bathroom behind Alex closely. He felt uneasy. The two little voices in his head kept talking.
"Well this is gonna get us killed. We should honestly just jell this kid everyone else and go on a boat ourselves."
"We don't even know how to drive a boat. And besides how would we kill an entire corporation of elite trained soldiers."
"Doesn't matter, we aren't going to" Actual Kaleb told the two voices.
He assured himself he would be fine.

"If you're feeling nervous, don't worry. There's no registration or anything before so you can just tell you're name and they'll assume you'll have lived here you're entire life" Alex said.

Kaleb nodded, feeling less tense at the thought of that. Kaleb wore a grey polo dress shirt with black jeans with rips in the knees. He put his old clothes in Alex's bag after washing them slightly in the sink.

They were headed to the clothing place in the building. The kids sector of the compound is completely different from the military sector. "It's pretty much a mall but everything is free to us before we leave on our trip. And we were born and raised here." Alex said.

Kaleb was thinking mostly about getting a new pair of shoes as his old Nike Sneakers were old and small. They didn't match his outfit much either.

Alexa backpack looked stuffed as All of Kalebs suspicious items were packed in there too. Once they arrived they stopped and got Kaleb a backpack. It was a neatly stitched canvas backpack made all by the Black Skull corporation. He then moved his stuff to his own backpack.

"I'm glad I'm not carrying s bunch of bloody clothes around." Alex said in relief. Kaleb felt uneasy that all the clerks and managers just rang you up and gave you all this stuff for free for the journey across the sea.

They then explored a shoe store.
Kaleb decided on a nice pair of Vans. A brand Kaleb had never heard of but liked.

"Well we still have an hour or so." Alex said. "You should explain to me everything about you." Kaleb squinted his eyebrows. "Get me on that boat and everything about me is you'res. You have my word." Kaleb replied.

"I'll introduce you to some of my friends so you're not s complete outcast." Alex suggested. Kaleb didn't like the sound of all this. Opening up to people. Trusting. Kaleb just couldn't trust anyone after losing his entire family and friends except for Stan.

Who may or may not be alive he thought to himself. But Kaleb realized that's all he really wanted. Is a family to trust. Just some people he knows he can trust. But he was just too scared he could lose all of them again just like that.

Kaleb walked behind Alex.
"What's up guys this is my dude Kaleb."
Alex said and pointed to Kaleb.
Kaleb put up a hand and awkwardly smiled a weak closed mouth smile.
Two girls and one guy stood in front of them.

They introduced themselves as
Lauren who was slightly shorter than Kaleb about up to his eyes with long brown hair and a little freckles. She had a little bit tan skin but not dark.
But her green eyes that were shiny and crystal clear stood out to him and had to stop himself from staring after a couple seconds.

The others were Erik who was tall with long red hair to his shoulders and freckles with a hoodie on seeming like the Emo type but really just a nerd.

The other girl was tall very tan with glasses and black hair in a ponytail.
She had braces and her name was Phoebe.

"Nice to meet you guys." Kaleb said trying not to be awkward or weird. They all said the same back and they seemed like pretty friendly people and he relaxed. But just as that feeling came, it dropped again as an announcement sounded over a speaker.
"We are ready for boarding please approach the dock and prepare for you're trip." The voice said. The others seemed extremely excited but Kaleb was so nervous he was almost shaking.
