Heatseeker

CH 9: Highway Run

Jem quickly started up the engine and drove away. Jeth immediately called their employer to ask him what to do only to be stopped Jem.

"What are you doing?! Get to the back and watch our six!"

"What do--"

"I'll do it." Blackshot volunteered as he stood up from his seat and jumped to the back.

"Don't worry, I'll get you out of here." Higuit says to James.

Blackshot kicked the van's hatch open as he saw two vand filled with the same terrrorists.

"What the heck?! They are on our tails!!" Blackshot screamed as he set his aim at the drivers of each vans.

The terrorists opened fire at Blackshot but missed when Blackshot jumped back at the passenger's cab.

Blackshot peeked back and fired a couple of shots at the driver of the nearby van. As soon as the bullets hit the driver, it started to move in zigzags and bumped to th other van, causing it to explode.

"Nice one Blackshot!!" Everyone cheered.

----

Nomer and his officers boarded a SUV to chase the Windwalkers and avenge their comrades' deaths.

A terrorist approached him and reported their loss.

"Sir, our vans were destroyed by our enemies."

"What? Contact the Gangsters and tell them we are on a pursuit."

"Yes sir."

----

"Alright kid, what's the plan?" Jem asked.

"Plan? Nah, you're not gonna like it."

"Your plan always make impossible things happen."

"Alright, plan is simple, call your employer and ask him where do we drop the marks." Blackshot replied.

Jeth immediately called the Employer about what to do.

"Employer, we have the marks and right now, we are beung chased by multiple factions, what do we do?!"

"Seems like the marks were...heatseekers."

"What do you mean by that?"

A gunfire suddenly errupted.

"On it!!" Blackshot screamed as he peeked back at the enemies and started firing.

"A heatseeker is someone who consumes heat everywhere which makes it dangerous for someone to walk with them side by side."

"Why didn't you told us that these marks were heatseekers?!"

"Because it's the only way to destroy that terrorist faction. I know that you and your team can kill all of them."

"You arsehole, you set us up!! You think we can handle this $&@*?! Even Windwalker Firefight Teams cannot handle this kind of crap!!"

"Maybe not, which is why I chose you. I didn't set you up, Jeth. I didn't place the noose on your necks. You are playing as a bait because it was part of the job."

"I'm gonna kill you!!"

"Before you put down the phone, I wanna tell you that after this, I'll pay you thrice the price to make it worth your trouble."

"It better be."

"Are we cool? Good. Now, objective is simple. Drive towards Sto. Domingo and barge in to a military camp called Fort Sto. Domingo. I'll tell the officer-in-charge of that camp that you are being chased by a fugitive. They won't fire at you but just tell us what vehicle you are using now."

"Black Mitsubishi Delica witha plate number of XJB 353." Blackshot interrupted.

"You heard him." Replied Jeth.

"Affirmative. Now sit back and try not to get killed. Everything's gonna be alright."

The Employer killed the circuits. Blackshot lay waste at the hood of the car of the gangsters. As soon as the car exploded, he set his aim on the other gangster. Eric decided to help him as he lift his sniper rifle and took down the second car with one shot.

"This highway run's gonna take a while. How many cars left?" Jem asked.

"Just one!" Blackshot replied.

Jem stepped on the pedal really hard as the van got flown a few meters away from the last car with the help of a big hump.

Blackshot aimed at his target's vehicle. He waited for it to get on his range.

"I'm gonna borrow your rifle for a minute." Blackshot says as he grabbed Eric's rifle.

Blackshot aimed at his scope as he watched the enemy's car get on his car.

"Control Alt Delete!!" Blackshot muttered as he opened fire.

The last car of the Red Wheel Gangsters got blown to pieces as the bullet hits it.

"Nice rifle you got." Blackshot complimented as he handed over the rifle to Eric.

"Alright, 500 km and we're there!! Just hang on tight!" Jem screamed as the van's speed increased by 100/kph.

James hugged Higuit's arm since Jem was driving like a madman.
