We entered the warehouse. My back pressed against a wall, as we moved through carefully, clearing the area. Once we reached a split, Leo ordered the rest of our team one direction, leaving us alone.I led him through the warehouse, not a clue where I was going. It was quiet. Too quiet. Only the sounds of our footsteps, could be heard.
As if my thoughts had sent them a signal, three Americans shot out from the corner, shooting rapidly at us. I ducked and shot back, hitting all three with deadly precision, before Leo had a chance to react.
'3 nil, you need to catch up.' I said, looking at him out of the corner of my eye and smirking.
He raised his eyebrow and licked his teeth,
'You want a war, I'll give you a fucking war.' He repeated my words back to me, dripping with sarcasm. He overtook me, and I followed his lead, clearing behind us.
Remember Scarlet, finish assignment.
Three more ran out, before they even had a chance to shoot, Leo gunned them down, directly between the eyes.
'Now we're even.' He said. Shit, I'm not letting that arrogant bastard win this.
We entered the main part of the warehouse, filled with crates and barrel, this must be what we're stealing.
Before I could blink, we were surrounded on all sides. Shit. That's not great.
Back to back, Leo and I filled the warehouse with the sounds of gun fire, bullets raining down on the Americans. The sounds of bodies hitting the floor surrounded us as we shot them with deadly precision.
I picked up a fallen bullet, it was engraved with a symbol. A snake. The American mafia symbol. Crap. If I shot him, there's no way they wouldn't examine the bullets, they'd know it was me in an instant.
I heard his deep voice over the earpiece, distracting me from my failed plan,
'12'
'14' I responded, a strange sense of pride was filling me.
He shot at three huge men jumping from the ceiling, ambushing us. Had to give to him, it was a good shot. I turned to see a man running from behind the stacks of crates, I pulled a sleek silver knife from my waist and threw it with a flick of my wrist, hitting him, middle of the neck. He fell to floor, screaming in agony as the life drained from him.
'15.' We said in unison, he turned and smiled from the corner of his mouth.
I heard footsteps approaching. Can't we catch a break. Still facing each other, I shot five over his shoulder, six, seven.
'22' we both said, ties are so boring.
A huge American soldier, brandishing a gun, ran towards us, aiming at the back of Leo's head. Before he could get close I shot him, square in the forehead.
'23' I said, replacing my guns in their holsters, smirking at Leo. He raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes, his jaw clenching, guy did not like losing.
He pushed me on the floor with his full body weight, wrapping an arm around my head to protect it. He lifted his other arm up and shot a muscled man running towards where I was.
He lifted himself up, pinning my head between his tattooed arms. I looked me in the eyes and smirked, he lowered his face so his lips were next to my ear.
'23'
