Wonka's Wars (Book 2 of Oompa Loompa Takeover)

Chapter 21

Where are you? May thought as she crept down the white hallways of the Medical Area. She was hoping she would come across some sort of door with a sign that said: Dr. Kordata's office. I mean, the Oompa Loompas love to label stuff, right? So far though, she'd had no luck.

Just then, she heard the click of a door opening. Instinctively, she dived into the room closest to her, entering and closing the door as silently as she could.

She watched through the crack she left and saw an Oompa Loompa with a bandaged arm come walking by, a small rifle held in his arms. As soon as he passed, she flung open her door, and rushed out. With one quick motion, she knocked his lights out with a hit to the head from the butt of her stolen nerd-shotgun.

She took his gun from his prone form and abandoned her almost empty shotgun. She looked down at him for a moment as she took his reloads. The back of his head oddly reminded her of Yeltsin. For a brief moment, she felt something she rarely felt when it came to dealing with Oompa Loompas.

Remorse.

Is it because he's wounded? She wondered. Trying to shake off the unwanted feeling, she set her sights on the door the Loompa soldier had come out of. Cautiously, she approached the door and went to press her ear to it, but quickly decided that was pointless, since Oompa Loompas rarely vocally talked to each other. Instead she flung the door open and came in gun first.

The scene before her was of a large white room with counters at every wall and a fluorescent light hanging over a smooth table across the room. On the table was a soldier Oompa Loompa, his leg sticking out and Dr. Kordata in the process of wrapping it. The pair were frozen; wide eyed as they stared at her.

"Make a move and I'll blow you both away!" May said, her voice intense.

Dr. Kordata slowly straightened, his hands coming up, palms outward in a sign of surrender. The other Oompa Loompa however, wasn't as smart and made to roll off the table and get his hands on his weapon resting on one of the counters. May shot and her bullet caught him in the shoulder and spun him. She followed up with running in and coldcocking him. The soldier went still and May looked up to see that Dr. Kordata was gone, the door in the back of the room swinging shut. "Fuck!" She grabbed the handgun the Oompa Loompa had been reaching for, looped the strap of the rifle over her shoulder and raced after him. She kicked the door wide and immediately felt something hit her chest. She looked down to see a scalpel now buried right beneath her left clavicle. "What the..." Her gaze went up to see a panic-stricken Dr. Kordata hiding behind a cabinet, only his head poking over. She aimed the gun at his head and he ducked down, her bullet instead hitting the wall. She hadn't been aiming to hit him anyways.

"You little motherfucker." May said as she grimaced and pulled the surgical knife from her chest and threw it to the floor. She was relieved to find that this room was a dead end. She had him trapped.

"Why are you here? What do you want?" Dr. Kordata asked frantically from behind the cabinet.

"I want you to die!" She said as she grabbed a bottle of hand sanitizer and threw it over the counter. She heard him exclaim as it hit him and she ran and jumped up on top of the counter, her gun pointed down directly at his head. He looked up at her in terror and then rolled out from under her direct aim. She just hopped down and kicked him, sending him flying a foot.

He scrambled to flip himself over and throw something at her. This time it hit her in the right arm. It was a small sharp and pointed pair of mini surgical scissors. May growled as her gaze went back to him and she tore it out with her left hand.

Dr. Kordata watched with fear in his eyes as the scissors, now bloody, clattered to the linoleum floor. He crab-walked backwards as she followed him, her gun pointed directly at his head. "Please." He gasped. "I haven't done anything to deserve this! I'm just a doctor; all I do is help people!"
