"You talked about sitting ducks earlier. I didn't get you then. Now I know what that means" Mayor Mount said regrettably. He was talking like he had lost all hopes. He could see bullets flying past in front of their eyes where they were. Mayor Mount and Reyes both stood against the wall opposite the elevator like they were glued to it. They were only covered by a doorway. They dared not bend outward or it would be another story that would be told about them.They wanted to use the elevator and get to the basement but they were cornered on the other side. Reyes was providing cover fire. They were literally stuck and that was what Mayor Mount believed. Reyes had not given up yet."I think the best thing is for you to cover my rear right now or you will understand what sitting ducks means better in the next few minutes" Reyes said taking pauses at intervals to shoot."Just let us surrender, we are only two. They are like fifteen, twenty or even thirty.  I'm no

Mayor Mount and Raymond could hear heavy footsteps coming behind them in the basement. "Do you hear that? He was right behind us" Mayor Mount was completely scared. He rushed to one of the doors of the room in the basement."Do not panic. Today is our day. Isn't it?" Raymond winked at Grace. He believed greatly in Grace. Once she was with them. There would be no cause for alarm.Mayor Mount opened a locket beside the door. A keypad was revealed. Raymond was surprised."This thing is real. A door with a passcode" he exclaimed. He had never seen anything like that before.Mayor Mount was distracted. He glanced at him briefly."This had been in existence since the nineteen fifties" Mayor Mount informed him."That was before I was born" he clapped for no reason in particular. He watched as Mayor Mount type in the keys.The footsteps echoed more loudly. Those behind them are now in the basement with them.Mayor Mount en

The smelting continued outside and the sounds became more clearer. The gas used in powering the cutting machines could be perceived.Grace started to frenzy. Her bones creaking loudly. Raymond glanced at her briefly. This is one of the parts he didn't like. He couldn't look at her much.Mayor Mount was surprised and afraid as she shook violently. He couldn't move near her. "What the hell is wrong with her?" he asked Raymond. He must have been amazed at how Raymond had reacted to the situation."Nothing bad. Just let us worry about what will happen to all of us when they finished cutting through this steel door" Raymond didn't show much of the concern Mayor Mount had expected.Mayor Mount kept starting at Grace. He didn't understand a bit of it. "Let's just say she is transforming or shifting shape, you understand that, right. In simple terms, the monster is going to rest and Grace is taking over" he tried explaining to Mayor Moun

Mr. Cypher fell flat on his face. He turned quickly to stand on his feet. The asset planted his heel into Mr. Cypher's groin sending him back to the ground.Hell was let loose. Mr. Cypher's men started shooting at the asset. The bullets didn't tear a hair off his body. He lifted Mr. Cypher up and put him in a headlock. The bullets from the gunfire hit him on the arm and thigh."Stop shooting, you idiots" he shouted at them, writhing in pain. Some of his men rushed at the asset hitting him with their gun butts. They broke Mr. Cypher free from his hold. Raymond, Grace, Mayor Mount and some of the hostages ran out of the conference room as the asset continued maiming Mr. Cypher's men."What happened back there?" Mayor Mount panted as they made their way into one of the rooms."That's a glitch and what a glitch can cause when not taken care of" Raymond joked holding Grace in his arms. They were set to have a passionate kiss."You two are s

Raymond was a little bit confused. This was the same bar he came that day with Stan. He moved closer holding Grace hand tight. The two couldn't leave each other behind."I count like a dozen armed men" he murmured. "Why would they upgrade security?" he was still battling his confusion."Are we in the right place" Grace asked after watching him. She must have noticed his cluelessness.Grace wore a red little dress with some long stockings that ran high up under the dress. She had hair bound into a cool shape. Raymond was in a small jacket that couldn't cover the hem of his round necked shirt with a loose pants. They looked like some high school kid escaping from home to spend time together."This is the place. I just wish it's still the same occupant" he replied her gently. He wouldn't want her to be at unease.They moved closer and was making their way in, ignoring the armed men.One of the men jumped in their way holding a metal detector.
