Living a Double Life

Chapter 32

Kendall spotted a man get out of the limo who was also at the auction. She aimed at him and pulled the trigger.

A loud bang was heard and the man fell to the ground. Around ten other men came out of the limo with guns and looked around for where the shot came from. The men split up, five going around the building and five moving inside to secure the warehouse. Three went around the building and two approached Amber and Trent. They were cornering them.

Just as Kendall was about to shoot the men, another vehicle approached the warehouse. Mackenzie looked wide-eyed at the amount of people who got out of that vehicle. Kendall shot as many as she could, but then had to reload. Kendall then remembered the men cornering Amber and Trent. By the time she pointed the gun in their direction, the men already had Amber and Trent. They were dragged inside and Trent dropped his gun.

"God damnit. I need to fix this. I'll get you guys out of there. I promise." Kendall uttered under her breath.

Mackenzie rushed towards a window where she could see inside the warehouse. She looked to see where Trent and Amber were taken. She spotted them on their knees with people restraining their arms, in front of the guy who talked to Kendall at the auction. Mackenzie tapped the button on the side of her watch and activated the microphone on Amber's watch. Kendall ran over to listen.

"Why did you come here? How did you know we would be here? Who sent you?" The man from the auction asked kneeling to get to their eye level.

"Classified information." Trent replied.

The man clearly wasn't happy with that answer and he slapped Trent.

"Tie them up. Maybe they'll be cooperative later." The man stated to his henchmen getting up to stare some more at the jewel he just stole.

The men yanked Trent and Amber off their knees and dragged them to the corner. They threw them into the corner and tied their hands behind their backs. They tied their wrists to the pipes that lined the wall behind them.

"I can't just stand around and watch this anymore." Kendall sighed walking to the edge of the roof by where Trent and Amber were.

She jumped off the roof and shoulder rolled into some bushes to break her fall.

"Kendall wait! You can't just run in there." Mackenzie exclaimed rushing down the ladder to stop Kendall.

"I can and will. I'll distract the guards and knock out as many as I can. You get Trent, Amber and the jewel back to the car and return the jewel to the auction house. Get Trent and Amber back to the base, have them examined for any injuries. I'll try to get back to the base as soon as I can." Kendall uttered grabbing Trent's dropped gun and his leftover amo.

"Kendall you can't expect me to just leave you here with those guys. They could kill you. Their guns are real." Mackenzie stated.

"Well one of us has to be willing to take risks." Kendall replied.

"Kendall.." Mackenzie sighed.

"Please Mackenzie just trust me and do what I said. Get them and the jewel out of here." Kendall breathed out.

"Fine but I'm stepping in it you look like you need help." Mackenzie exclaimed.

"I won't." Kendall whispered to herself.

Kendall ran inside and shot two guys. Dodging bullets left and right, Kendall kept shooting guys and knocking them out. Mackenzie ran behind shipping boxes and reached Trent and Amber no problem. She untied them and told them to go outside. Kendall was giving her enough of a distraction for her to grab the jewel and escape the cross fire easily.

Trent and Amber were waiting for Mackenzie by the car. Mackenzie handed Amber the jewel as she got in the car.

"Wait what about Kendall?" Trent questioned as they started driving away from the warehouse.

"Kendall told me to get you guys back to the base and return the jewel to the auction house. And that is exactly what I'm doing. " Mackenzie replied.

"Mackenzie, seriously? Kendall could be in serious danger. We aren't the main priority." Amber shouted.

"Look we're returning the jewel to the auction house and then I'm taking you guys to the base to get examined." Mackenzie explained.

*at the warehouse*

Kendall kept knocking out guys left and right, nearly dodging bullets coming her way. As she rolled away from bullets, one grazed her left arm and another scrapped the side of her right leg, both starting to bleed.

She gripped her arm and noticed it was bleeding pretty badly and her leg only stung as the man in the crimson suit laughed.

"You think you and your little friends could get away?" The man chuckled.

"You mean escape with the jewel you no longer have?" Kendall responded weakly standing up.

"What?!" The man yelled looking over to see the jewel was gone. This gave Kendall enough time to leave behind her remote controlled stun grenade and dash out of the warehouse.

She was far enough away and pushed the button. Kendall saw the big flash and knew she was safe. She gripped her arm as it still hurt and called the agency cab to pick her up from her location.

Eventually the cab picked her up and she was on her way back to the base.

"Are you alright Miss Kendall?" Simon, the agency driver asked, only now noticing her arm.

"I'm alright Simon, just a scratch." Kendall replied holding her arm, trying to ease the pain.

*at the base*

"Well Trent you might get a bruise on your cheek from impact but you will be alright. Both of you will definitely have bruises on your wrists from the ropes, but they will fade with time." Agent Smith responded after examining Trent and Amber.

"Thank you Agent Smith." Campbell exclaimed walking Smith to the door.

"Anything from Kendall?" Amber asked Mackenzie.

Mackenzie shook her head. They all walked into the main room and sat on the couches.

They heard the door open and they all thought it was Campbell coming back inside. But Trent looked over to realize it was Simon helping Kendall inside, wincing at every step she took.

"Kendall, are you okay?" Trent asked rushing to her side to help get her to the examination room. Kendall weakly shook her head as Mackenzie and Amber both stood up.

"I'll go look for Agent Smith." Mackenzie called as she rushed out of the room.

"Thanks Simon, we can take it from here." Amber reassured taking his spot on supporting Kendall.

"Alright, let Campbell know that she's back." Simon stated walking out.

Trent and Amber got Kendall to the examination room where she fell unconscious due to loss of blood.

Mackenzie, Agent Smith, and Campbell rushed into the room and Smith checked her cuts and everything.

"She'll be alright. I'm going to clean her cuts and bandage them. They aren't deep enough for stitches, but did draw a lot of blood. But she'll be just fine." Smith reassured.

Everyone let out a sigh of relief as Smith cleaned and wrapped her arm and leg.

"She should be up in an hour, two or three at most. She might be a little sensitive for some time. These will definitely leave scars, but she just needs to make sure her cuts are cleaned often. So they don't get infected." Smith explained finishing up.

"Thank you so much Smith. " Campbell thanked again.

"Anytime." Smith replied.

Everyone waited for Kendall to finally wake up and explain what happened.
