Ploy of scheme

It was five hours before my mind kept that motion in perfect sync. Safety, take out the clip, unload the cartridges, load them into the clip, put the clip back in, check the gun barrel for any cartridge left inside the slot, and lastly, practice shooting tactics. The henchmen practiced their sttaight face,  with one giving a faint smile in recognition for me. I was proven to be loyal to Carlos, most importantly his lover. She wore purple lipstick with light eyeliner. As she walked out from their balcony, she looked out to the sky, then at me before walking baxk inside. I had noticed her as one of the henchmen gave me another box of rifle ammunition.

"Hey. Guy!" She mildly yelled from behind.

I turned around before ignoring her and went back to my shooting.

"Guy!" She called again

Finally giving in, I turn around before I responded calming

"Yes."

"I just wanted to let you know. What you did. It made my papi very happy. Thanks. We're doing a big job in the near future. We could use a extra set of hands. If Carlos would permit it." She says

"I'm just here to find Bella. And go home." I said honestly

"Look. Forget about your friend. She either is working with the DEA/FBI or she is home." She says bluntly

I then turn around before going back to target shooting. Anger filled me before I went faster and faster, the syrofoam head obliterated before I looked to the box of ammo and saw nothing was there.

"We don't have anymore for today." One of the henchmen said

"Get. Me. More." I said angry with saliva coming off my teeth

"We can't. But we should go inside." He said

Meanwhile inside the home

"What did you tell him?" Carlos asked Valence, his lover

"Exactly what you told me to. Added some honesty in there as well before I riled him up." Valence says with a smirk

Carlos looks out the window, watching Austin. Carlos sees his body movement with the assualt rifle dropped on the ground. Carlos own henchmen were conversating with him, but nothing to worry about.  Then he saw it with his own eyes.

"Valence. Baby. Come see this." Carlos says with a smile around his face

"Wow. Never think he had it in him." Valence says surprised.

Carlos wrapped his arms around Valence, who thought Austin was too soft to be in this organization. She tilted her head and laid it on Carlos brute shoulder before saying

"Do you think he is ready?"

"Yes. Now I do." Carlos said, still watching Valence

Austin POV

As one the henchmen try to grab one of his arms, Austin grabs the henchman pistol from his holster and shoots him in his knee before the other henchman draws his weapon.

"Just get me more bullets. And I'll let him live." I said with anger

"We're taking you back to your cell." The henchmen said

I point the gun to the henchman, wounded. Before I look  at the other. He hesitates before I blow out the wounded henchman brains. The other henchman points it at my chest before I drop my gun and turn around, starting to walk. As I heard the dirt, pebbles, and sand shift something came over me. I turned around before running to the henchman(guard) and punching him in his nose. He shot once, but grazed my eat before I grab his gun, turning it on him and shooting him once in both his knees before walking over and disassembling the handgun and unloading the cartridges out the clip. He tried to grab my leg before I kneeled down and twisted his neck. The sound of his bone snapping and his body dropping to the ground was intriquing. I looked at the home to see nobody there before I grab the handgun and assault rifle. Looting the holster off the guard and strapping it to myself. Placing the handgun inside and strapping the assualt rifle across my shoulder like a satchel bag. I walked inside the mansion before Carlos stood there applauding.

"That was wonderul. Now relinquish your arms and I have a very special job for you. Prove to me you are free." He said before Valence grabbed my weapons and placed them inside the safe.

I walked to the basement before entering my cell. The guard locks it behind me before the lights go out and I think inside my mind. Thoughts came and went before slimber took over. The sound of that bone snapping was like a branch being torn by force. A piece of me was gone when I was proficient in arms, now the old me scaled away.
