Never did one think that they could be so afraid yet so excited at the same time. That's exactly how Derek felt when he fired a bullet for the first time, at fourteen years old. He didn't do this on his own, something urged him to go through with it, yet to do this day it's been one of his biggest regrets. Derek's twenty one now, and his will to survive has only expanded through the merciless years of hunger and starvation that has been thrown at him. He's been put in this situation by something unknown, but that doesn't mean he can't use the strength he contains to get out of it. "You'll live," mumbled Nate, leader of the CPG, Corruption Prevention Group, a wide organization of highly trained special agents that excel in hand to hand combat and long range shooting. Nate is more of a thinker than a speaker, but that gives him the upper hand in system hacking and technical repairs. He's been a member of the CPG for longer than twenty years, though his age is none of our concern."Not without luck," bellowed Liam, a much larger man, older, with a scruffy brown beard and a laugh that can send shivers down your spine. Liam is more brawn over brain, used as hired muscle in the CPG or just a complete distraction, while the more lethal operators take control, such as Kaleigh, a devastating sniper that can make even the bravest of men feel exposed when not hiding behind something bulletproof, devoted to her work and appreciated for it by the CPG. "I make my own luck, Liam," Derek growled as he narrowed his eyebrows and lowered his gun from the dead body in front of him. "But this place needs it way more than we do." "As if you could say that after what just happened back in Blackwell-" "We've been over that, Nate!" "..Just know who you're bloody talking to." Derek looked around him and noted his surroundings, a door with a firm metal lever, looks clean enough to use. A ladder bent into place, resting on the wall of the building.

BOOK #1 in The Fire series TRIGGER WARNING IN SOME CHAPTERS He leans closer, keeping me pinned against the wall with his hands on either side of my head. I glanced at both of them before holding his glare with my own. He was giving me a cold stare, caging me in like an animal. I bit my lip, trying to hold it back. I was never good in situations like these. He stopped leaning forward when his face was just inches from mine. He was trying to make me uncomfortable. Trying to scare me, but he didn't. I wasn't scared of him. I didn't hide my face or get nervous... I just bit my lip harder, trying to hold it in. It would just make things worse for me, I bet. He kept his eyes on mine as I glanced at his friend behind him with his arms crossed and a bored expression on his face. I looked back at the man in front of me. "You shouldn't act that way around me." He says coldly. "I can have you dead right-" I couldn't hold it in. I started laughing. He leans back, shocked, but his face goes into a glare as soon as his friend behind him perks up, watching, interested now. I calm down a little. "I'm sorry." I say, catching my breath. "Continue, Continue." He watched me closely before leaning closer to me again. "I can have you killed-" Suddenly, I lost it again, laughing harder, bending a little to hold my stomach. He punched the wall in an effort to scare me but instead made me laugh even harder, falling to the ground and rolling on my side. Soon I had his friend laughing with me as the man in front of me glared at both of us. "Don't give me that look. She's the one who started laughing." His friend said, wheezing a little bit and trying to stop laughing. I calmed down a bit, standing up to face them, a smile on my face. "Now, if you're done threatening me," I raise an eyebrow. "Or at least trying to. I'll be on my way." With that, I grabbed my backpack, turned my back to them, and walked away.
