We continued and follow Luis Sera, until we reached a tunnel.

- Are you sure it's over here? - Carlos asked.

- Of course. - The spanish nodded firmly and at that moment Kennedy's phone rang.

- Maybe you have nine lives, but it doesn't matter now, Mr. Kennedy. - The eighth castilian appeared on the screen. - I've sent my right hand to dispose of you. - He commented and I was intrigued.

- Your right hand comes off? - The agent mocked.

- Say whatever you want. Die, you worm! - He shouted angrily and cut the video call.

We all looked surprised at that reaction from the spanish dwarf.

- Looks like he got mad. - Carlos said.

Suddenly we heard a strange noise, as if someone was running and climbing the walls of the tunnel.

We all became on alert, until I observed a kind of lizard tail behind Luis.

- Watch out! - I screamed and shot with the gun, but it disappeared.

- Au! Dammit! Do you want to kill me? - Sera asked, hurt by the bullet that grazed his ear.

- Did you saw that? - I questioned terrified.

- See what? - Kennedy asked and suddenly something fell from the roof of the tunnel.

- That. - I pointed fearful.

He was a tall mutant humanoid with a sharp-edged lizard tail, terrifying claws and a creepy jaw, his eyes glowing a blood red color.

I was terrified to see him standing there looking at us, I couldn't even breathe, I was puzzled. However, Leon didn't hesitate to shoot him, but his armor was so hard that the bullets didn't harm him.

That monster moved his finger from one side to another, making the sign '' no ''. It was at that moment that I exhaled a little the air that remained in my lungs and that creature started to run in our direction.

My uncle stretched out my arm to follow him and with the other two we ran to try to escape from that monster.

I felt like that thing was climbing, until its tail passed in front of us, but we managed to avoid it.

- Quick, over here. - Luis said opening a door.

We ran to him and entered and so Sera closed it to get us safe.

- What is that thing? - I asked agitated.

- He's one of Salazar's guards. - The spaniard answered. - He is known as Verdugo, he isn't at all friendly and when he receives orders, he does everything possible to fulfill them.

- The bullets didn't damage him. - Carlos commented.

- In fact it doesn't cause any damage, he has a fairly hard skin that hardly any bullet goes through it. - Luis explained.

- At least we have an elevator here. - Kennedy interrupted. - Maybe we can run away. - Pressed a button, but it didn't work.

- Bad day, agent. - Carlos commented.

- What does a nitrogen tank do here? - I asked.

- That's the least, we must find some switch to operate this elevator. - Leon said.

We searched in the small room, but there was not.

- I'm afraid it must be in another room. - Sera opined.

The american, determined, recharged his machine gun.

- You don't plan to go out there, do you? - I questioned.

- Someone must do it. - The agent replied.

- Leon, I distract him. - Luis interrupted and Kennedy nodded.

- Take care, guys. - I said.

The two left and I closed the door again. I looked at my uncle and then the nitrogen tank. I decided to take a few turns around the room and looked towards the elevator.

- You are very brave. - My uncle spoke behind me.

- You're the same. - I commented.

- You know? Despite the differences in the family, I am proud that you always chose what you like. - Carlos said. - And believe me, both your father and your mother would be just as proud.

When I heard him say that, I closed my fists and ducked my head down.

- I know we'll get out of this together. - My uncle continued saying.

I turned to see him throwing a few drops of tears. He was also with watery eyes.

- I'm not going to leave you. - He said half smiling. - We are family.

At that instant a sound interrupted our moment, a light shone on the elevator's button.

- They got it. - I smiled and pressed the button.

The elevator began to turn on, when suddenly we heard that someone opened the door, Leon was accompanied by Luis. They looked very tired.

- You are fine? - When I had just finished asking them, the verdugo appeared.

We all reacted quickly, shooting at that phenomenon. This one jumped towards my direction, but I dodged him. When we all turned to shoot him, he disappeared. We looked at the ceiling cautiously, until we heard noise in it.

Suddenly his tail appeared attacking Kennedy, but he eluded it with an acrobatic movement and the attack of this creature generated an opening in the nitrogen tank that was in the place, freezing the sharp tip of his tail.

We heard the scream of the verdugo and we all looked at each other quickly. I think we were thinking the same.

The monster appeared again, falling from the roof and showed us his tail, it was frozen, but with a movement broke the ice, releasing his tail and roared to then run in our direction.

When he attacked us, we made our way and Luis had taken the opportunity to throw the tank to the ground. This began to release all its contents against the verdugo.

We watched as that monstrosity froze completely.

- It won't last for long. - Luis commented. - We have to go.

- The elevator is delaying. - I said pressing the button again to hurry.

- Then let's finish with him. - Leon spoke.

We all reloaded our weapons and shot at the frozen verdugo. Suddenly our enemy broke free of his freezing and roared violently. He tried to attack us, but apparently the bullets weakened him and he knelt, holding onto one of his arms.

- Do not stop, continue shooting. - Spoke the Spanish, reloading his Red 9 pistol.

The Verdugo jumped again but received so many bullets, fell to the ground and died. Just at that moment the elevator was ready. I had been a bit exhausted and started coughing.

- Hey ... - My uncle came and massaged my back. - Calm down, you'll be fine.

- You're good? - The agent approached.

- Y-Yeah ... - I coughed again until I cleared my throat. - Let's just get out of here.

- Good girl. - Leon said giving me a half smile. - Let's keep going.

And then the four of us got on the elevator to continue with the second rescue to Ashley.
