BANG Up Job {BOOK 1}

Chapter 12: Superheros

A man and a women climbed half down the two rope ladders and then jumped the rest of the way.

They landed on the floor, on their feet, with one hand on the ground.

In a position similar to cat women.

Or batman.

Both superheroes.

"Get the girl! i'll handle montoyez!" The girl says.

The man just nods, then comes for me.

I rip the tubes from my forearm and stand up to run.

I jolt out of the hospital bed and I make it out the door and past Antonio and the woman, who are fighting.

My old bloody rain boots are difficult to run in, on the slick floors but I'm making good speed.

"Damn your fast, just wait! I'm here to save you!"

I stop dead in my tracks and turn around.

Running towards me is an extremely fit young blonde guy.

Looks about my age.

17.

Before i can examine him long, I'm over his shoulder and he's running to the elevator.

He presses the button 16 billion times before running in and pushing the 'close door' button 16 billion more times.

Then he begins tapping his foot to bland elevator music.

"Are you always this anxious when you rescue damsels in distress or is this just an effect i have on you?" my tone is sarcastic.

"Okay 1) you've handled yourself pretty well on your own here for the past week. 2) how are you not terrified of whats going on around you? 3) are you really flirting with me in a time like this? 4) why is my back wet?"

"Oh i had a knife thrown at my neck and then i yanked it out and threw it at my offender striking her dead in the heart and killing her instantly. so thats probably the blood from the wound. Antonio stitched it up but a Cuban drug cartel torture gang member can only apply such good quality first aid."

"Forget i asked."

The door dinged and out we went.

He ran into a black van and sat me down on his lap.

"Hello." he fixes his hair.

"Um hi." i blush a bit.

"Cameron." he held out his hand.

"Natasha." i shook it.

"Oh my god wait! what about Antonio! They'll kill him if they find him! you have to take him with us! please!"

"Antonio montoyez?" cameron looks at me with wide eyes.

"Yes! please!"

Why do i care about Antonio?

He was hired to kill me.

And he had planned on it too.

I guess i just have a good heart.

Plus, its not even his fault he's in this business anyway.

He was just being a good friend.

And maybe these guys can use him for information or something.

"Ugh is he your boyfriend? Because i was just starting to think you were cute. i mean who flirts like that in an elevator while bleeding out in the neck because of a knife lodged in her throat."

"JUST PLEASE!"

"Alright alright geez."

Who the hell was this guy?

"Hey Chris its me, yeah hope you haven't killed that Mexican guy yet." He spoke into his phone.

"CUBAN." I interject.

"Oh your still fighting him? okay, well don't kill him. our little hostage here wont tell us shit unless he's safe. alright. See you in a few bye."

So the girls name is chris, and she was still in combat with him while taking a phone call.

She must be good.

"Happy now?" cameron asked me.

"Yes."

"Good. now let's get you to Mr.Polanski. he wants to have a few words with you."

"Who's Mr.Polanski?"

"My employer. head of the Elite secret agent force 'Shield'"

He must of noticed my expression.

"Heard of it?" he smirked.

"Thats where Natasha Romanoff worked, she was the black widow. but those were just comics."

"The character yes. the name and agency? no."

Holy shit.

"What does he want from me?" my heart was beating so fast i could feel it in my throat.

And now the fear was back.

"Probably the same thing he wanted from Chris and I when he rescued us from a life threatening situation that we survived exceptionally well in.... to recruit you."
