OPERATION:S.T.R.I.C.T.L.Y

Lauren

*mention / use of guns *

"I don't know what you think your doing" his voice scoured the air between him and the small group . He tilted his head slightly and started to walk slowly towards them
"I know who you are ..... but do you really know who I am ?"
Lauren hesitantly went for the trigger pointing it towards the man but stayed silent . She followed his movement with the gun as he circled around them . His face was grazed from the rubble of the building as it collapsed behind them.
"What's taking you so long steadman . Your better than this . What have these .... idiots turned you into "
She slowly lowered the gun and placed it on the floor.
"LAUREN ! What are you doing ?! "Joe tried shouting at her . She slowly turned round and faced joe . "SHUT UP "
Aj seized the gun that lauren had placed on the floor and aimed it at her
"You were on our side . I trusted you Lauren . I really did . I really really did . You know that ? " he slowly walked towards both her and Neil and gestured for joe to go and see if he could get any info on Stacey , Kevin and Dianne . Joe ran off into the direction of the fallen hospital.
Lauren didn't say a single word . "Neil .... I used to trust you too "aj said in disgust. "You used to be a good guy "
Neil let out a sarcastic laugh "me ?! ME ?! a good guy ?! Wow , you really don't know me do you . Didn't think so "
"I should have known you were lying " aj mumbled but then straighten up the gun .
"So Pritchard . What do you want from us BOTH " he shouted.
"No . what do you want from US "
"Why would I tell you that ?"
Aj tried pulling the trigger on the gun but nothing happened. he kept trying thinking maybe it was jammed .
Lauren smirked "you really thought I would leave a loaded gun on the floor ?! "
He tried to back away from them both , keeping a firm grip on the gun.
"I was NEVER on your side you little child "
Aj threw the gun at them hitting Lauren in the head and sprinted in the direction that joe went . He managed to loose sight of them both and hopefully enough that they wouldn't spot him. After a few minutes he managed to track down the others who were able to hide away in a small room that was unharmed in the incident.

"Aj what happened?! "Kevin asked.
"Lauren's Not who you think she is "
"She's on neils side " "me , joe and Lauren tried to get Neil , Lauren being the one with the gun . Then all of sudden she put the gun down and turned on us . I grabbed the gun thinking it was loaded so I could get them both back and told joe to try and find you guys and make sure your alright but then it turned out that the gun was never actually loaded in the first place . My only option was to use the gun itself as a weapon and throw it at them . Managed to hit Lauren but I don't know what happened after that or where they are now . Anyways how are you guys ?!"
"Aj calm down we are fine now , none of us got hurt . Well I may still be injured only a couple of wounds healing , I can walk absolutely fine so dw , I can deal with it " Stacey piped up
"Just take it easy please Stace "
"I will don't worry . So Lauren ? Who was she ?"
"Oh yeah I forgot that you weren't there. She told us that she was our new "leader" turns out is was a disguise to go against us and she's actually with neil "
"what the hell ..."
"Hmm Ik , anyways to get away from
this mess before anything else happens who wants to go for a drink in the place just down the road . Heard it's amazing "
They all nodded.
