The Body Swap (completed)

CHP27

"Ethan you know that this is suicide right?"Right now they are on their way to Camp Crane. An old military base not used for several years now. They knew they chose that place because it has an airfield. They are going to transport the machine to Italy.

"We've got no choice ."He simply said. Sonya and him were at the back of the truck with the machine. Gunman and Steel were up front. Hacker and Nat drove in front of the truck in separate cars.

Gunman opened the small window to talk to them."Uhh...guys I think you should check your phones. There's a video."

Upon hearing this Sonya immediately checked her phone and sat by Ethan. There was a video being broadcasted live. It was Kristina wearing a mask with two guys behind her holding Alex and Luke.

"Ethan I am addressing this video to you and your team. You've got three more minutes.  Better hurry these two kids are not going to last long if you are late.

Let's see if time will get the better of you. Let's see if you and your team can bring justice this time...."

Everyone watched as it was everywhere. Vanessa and Nick who were with Daniel was greatly panicked. After a short interrogation on her and Nick about what happened back at Natalie's , Daniel  accompanied them home.

He tried to figure out the location and or the masked woman in the video. Just as the video ended, the same symbol he saw on the corpse's wrist showed up.

He went to the balcony, leaving Vanessa and Nick inside and called Dusty in an instant. "Dusty have you got the information that I asked you to find?"

"Yes Chief. Actually I'm staring at the computer screen right now. It's S.I.A. sir. The one that burnt down a few years back by some unknown causes. That's their trademark..." Dusty updated as he scrolled down looking for addituonal information.

"But there weren't any survivors left.."

"Well there is this one guy...."

Alex and Luke were tied back to back. Fortunately, their mouths weren't taped shut. No sacks were over their heads to shield their view.

There were two guys watching over them. Hell they were keeping vigilance over them.

Luke tried to look at Alex who was calmly seated with her eyes closed. "What ...no who's on your mind?"

Alex opened her eyes and moved her head. "Mom. Dad. Daniel. Nick. Sean...everyone at this point. If I didn't become so stupidly brave that night then none of this could have happened. Now our lives are at stake because of me."

"Hey it's not your fault. Well it's kinda your fault but that doesn't matter now. What matters is that we go through this alive."

"Shut up."One of the guys watching them interrupted. Alex and Luke both closed their eyes and rested their heads. They took a deep breath and opened their eyes.

Both of them knew they have once again switched. Two cars and a truck pulled up making them turn their heads to see what was happening.

Nat and Hacker got out of the cars. Followed by Gunman and Steel. The tailgate of the truck opened and Ethan and Sonya popped out.

Dr. Stanley , in his seemingly expensive suit approached them. Five men and Kristina behind him. Sonya kept her eyes on het.

His hair fixed, his demeanor cool. He smiled at them."I suppose you are the people that brought trouble to me and my men."

"I suppose we are."Ethan spoke up. "Now hand them over before we hand over your machine."He continued.

Dr. Stanley looked back at Alex and Luke."A deal is a deal. Charlie. Eustice. Bring them here."

They cut Alex and Luke loose and dragged them just beside Dr. Stanley. "Here. Take them." But before anyone even had the time to react, Kristina pulled out a gun and pointed it to Ethan's head. Sonya kicked the gun off her hand and pointed a gun on her head.

Dr. Stanley's men pointed their guns at her. She backed off still pointing the gun on Kristina.

"Well, I'll have to inform you that the deal is off."Ethan stated before he brought out his gun, pointed it at Dr. Stanley and pulled the trigger.

Kristina pushed him away making Ethan miss. "The two of you load the two in the plane. Asswipe, take the Boss also. I'll handle this."She said malevolently.

And just like that it was raining bullets. They immediately took cover behind the cars since it was an open area and there were no more options to take cover in. "Steel. Hacker. Retrieve the kids." Ethan ordered. The two nodded and did as they were told.

"Gunman watch the machine. Sonya. Nat. You take care of her. I'll take care of the rest."Both women nodded to each other.

"Let's kill this bitch." Sonya jumped and ran on the roof of the car before landing with a ninja roll and pointing a gun straight at Kristina.

She knew however basic martial arts so she was able to dodge the bullets and run straight towards Sonya. Before she could do anything lethal Nat immediately came to view and backed Sonya up.

Ethan in the meanwhile was having a shootout with the rest of the men. He tried his best but whenever he shows himself to shoot, they all shoot at him at once and he has no choice but to hide back in his cover.

"Well fuck."He muttered as the men continuously shot the car, getting closer and closer as they do so.

"Hey Steel. Remember the time I told you..you need a new car?"

"Okay what the hell does this have to do at these moments. We're busy fighting Dwayne Johnson's lost twin here!"

Ethan chuckled. "You don't have a choice but to buy a new one."

"What does that mean?"Steel asked as he got thrown on the wall in the plane by Dwayne Johnson's lost twin.

"It means he's going to blow your car up dickhead."Nat replied for Ethan.

He groaned in pain and reached for his gun."What?" Ethan brought out the small gadget that Hacker gave him which controls the explosives and detonated the bomb as he dived forward and rolled to get as far away from the car as possible.

The men fell back. Some got injured. Sonya's car survived the explosion but was hit by falling debris from the car.This was Ethan's chance. He went over them and started shooting. One by one their souls left their body.

"I told you putting explosives under our cars can be useful in the future!"Hacker said proudly.

"You put what? In what?"They heard Steel say to Hacker through the earpiece. Hacker cackled.

Kristina laid unconscious on the ground after they worked together and brought her down.

It was a bit unfair. Two versus one. Sonya shook the thought off but then noticed something. "Wait. Where'd Gunman go?"

" Behind the truck. Suckers thought they could take the stupid machine."He said in glee after he single-handedly defeated the five men. With satisfaction, he dropped the gun he used and started to go up to Ethan and the others.

Gunman casually walked towards Nat, Sonya and Ethan."Did it ever cross your mind to ask yourself "Where do all these men come from?" Or is it just me?"

Out of nowhere, the back of the cargo plane opened with Dr.Stanley and one big guy inside holding a FN FNC MK2 rifle each.

"Move your arses!"Ethan yelled before perpetual gunshots were heard.
