Chapter 3
"What just happened?" AJ demanded to know.
"Look," Aura said, "We don't have time to explain now. We need to get you and your group members to safety so tell us where they are and when we're all together at the hotel we'll explain."
"Fine, Kevin's at home and so is Howie. Brian and Nick are at Brian's house."
"Where should we go first?"
"Kevin's is closest then Howie and last Brian's. I'll help you explain to them what's going on."
He proceeded to give them directions to Kevin's house.
"What?" Kevin asked increduously.
"Their's an assassin after us," AJ explained, "just get some stuff and get in the van we need to get the others."
Kevin didn't ask anymore questions, he just obeyed. If AJ and 3 serious looking girls were telling him his life was in danger he wasn't gonna risk it.
It went just as well with Howie. He didn't ask questions. He just got some stuff and got in the van with them. They pulled into Brian's driveway by 1:30 AM.
"Something's wrong," Kevin commented.
"What do you mean?" Zaidee asked.
"Nick's over and the lights are off like someones sleeping. Plus I just saw 3 figures fighting in the window.
"Shit," Aura said, "Aisha you stay here to look after them. Zaidee and I will go in."
They agreed and split up. Aura and Zaidee ran up to the door. There were scuff marks near the lock. Zaidee twisted the knob and the door opened.
"Hello," Aura called as they entered. They heard a muffled cry for help.
"I'll try upstairs," Zaidee mouthed. Aura nodded. She walked up the stairs silent as she could.
When she got up there she noticed one door was closed. She walked up to it and listened.
"Your gonna die boys. Aren't you happy. You've got magic powers and didn't know so now your gonna die. Good thing I fixed it so your little band would get together. Now it's gonna be easier to kill you and take your magic. They'll be so depressed over your deaths they won't fight back even though it's in the best interest of the future."
Zaidee had heard enough. She tried the knob. It wouldn't turn.
She was about to use her powers when she remembered they wouldn't work. She was running out of time. She backed up against the wall and rammed into the door.
It fell open. Agent 735 looked up in surprise and took the knife away from one of the boy's throats.
He pointed it at her. "You just won't go away will you."
"Not if your still around."
"I'll take care of that. You'll love the feel of smooth metal cutting through your skin." He lunged at her. She stepped to the side and the man tumbled to the ground just as Aura came in.
She pulled out her gun and pointed it at him. While she was doing this Zaidee was untying the 2 guys. They stood up and walked towards the door.
Agent 735 looked at the gun and realized he wasn't going to accomplish the killings here. He saw one of the boys was fairly close. He lunged at him. Zaidee pulled the boy back and the knife plunged into his leg.
"OOOWWW!!!" he yelled in pain.
Agent 735 used this distraction and ran out of the house.
