Episode 13 - The Onslaught


Jake sees the helicopter and at once, dashes for the building with Becky right behind him. He enters the hotel and takes the stairs heading for the sixth floor moving so fast that Becky was having a hard time keeping up. He gets to the sixth floor and throws his body onto the door, opening it in the process and sees two men running towards him. Without adjusting or thinking, He aims and fires three shots at their direction. He sees two of them go down. One of them is still moving on the floor. He keeps running towards them and fires another shot at the one still moving as he jumps over them heading for the east wing of the sixth floor.

The man in the coat ducks behind a desk as he hears the machine gun. He sees the bullets being fired into the room and watches as about four of the men with him in the room are hit by the bullets including the man on the computer. He holds his position behind the desk and waits for the bullets to stop before he makes his move.

Kevin keeps shooting for thirty seconds, he drops the machine gun then he holds the rope and begins to swing back and forth to gain momentum. He does this twice and then he launches himself forward towards the room the girl was in. He releases his jacket freeing himself from the helicopter as he goes forward into the room giving him more momentum. He rolls into the room, brings out another gun tucked into his back trousers and immediately heads for the back of the bed. He points the gun at the girl and asks “What is your name?”

The girl shocked that he was standing in front of her just stutters. Kevin asks again in a rushed tone “What is your name?”

This time she responds. “Alexia. My name is Alexia.” She says still shaking from the whole encounter.

Kevin picks her up and says “Let’s go. Follow me.” The girl holds him as he leads her out of the room.

The man in the coat hears the bullets stop. He gets up quickly and runs out of the room. The destruction caused by the bullets was obvious as he sees bodies as well as equipments on the floor scattered. He heads toward the room Alexia was in to get her. He sees one of his men reach the door of Alexia’s room before him and get shot, the man falls to the ground dead. The man in the coat quickly changes his direction and starts heading towards the stairs of the sixth floor. The only thing on his mind now was to get out of there.

Kevin heads outside the room and sees a man with a gun entering. He fires at the man without thinking; the bullet hits the man in the chest and sends him to the ground. Kevin immediately comes out of the room and looks right. He sees a man in a coat heading away from him about to round a corner. He aims at the man when another man comes out of a room and blocks his view. Kevin immediately shoots the man in the head and he falls down dead. He then looks for the man in the coat but can’t see him anymore. Kevin looks at Alexia and says “Follow me.” He then goes left towards the elevator.

Jake gets to the east wing and sees a man on the floor trying to get up. He kicks the man’s head knocking him out and is seen by another man with a gun. Jake immediately runs in the opposite direction as the man begins to shoot at him. He keeps running and then swiftly dives to the floor, shooting at the man as he fell. His first shot hits the man in the knee while his second shot kills him. Jake immediately gets up and heads towards the rooms that were destroyed by the machine gun.

_

Becky sees Jake dive on the floor and shoot the man. She notices a man with a gun coming behind Jake. She shoots him down announcing her presence and then gets shot at immediately by another man on her left. She begins to run towards the stairs now with two men chasing after her.

_

Jake approaches the rooms and sees a man in a coat running towards the stairs. He’s about to run after him when out of the corner of his eye, he sees Becky run past with two men following after her. Jake looks at the man in the coat running to the door that leads to the staircase. He lets him go and turns around, chasing after the men following Becky. As the men shoot at Becky, Jake fires at them killing the first man. The second man now aware of Jake’s presence turns around and shoots at Jake who was running at him. Becky now free, immediately stops running, turns around and fires twice at the man killing him. Jake sees the man drop to the ground and keeps running towards Becky. He sees a man coming at Becky from her back. He immediately aims and shoots at the man; the bullet hits the man in the head as Jake runs past Becky and heads for the stairs. Becky hears the police sirens and runs after him.

The man in the coat brings out his phone and hits redial, the person picks up. “I am coming out now. Send the other men in.” He ends the call and begins to walk out of the hotel. He enters the lobby and heads for the doors. People were everywhere, he sees an elderly woman moving slowly with a cane trying to get out of the hotel. He walks up to her “Are you also running for your life?” he laughs. “If I was your age, I would refuse to leave my room. I mean what’s the point; you are probably going to die in a few days from now anyways.” The man hears the shots being fired on the outside and he knew his men had arrived. He kisses the elderly woman on the cheek “Good luck granny.” He strolls out of the hotel with bullets flying around and enters into a car that just pulled up in front of him. The car drives away from the hotel.

Kevin sees the London team firing at the men that just showed up. They were about fifteen of them. They were both shooting at each other. He hears the police sirens and knows this is not the time for this. He signals to one of the men who can see him to fall back. The man sees him and begins to shout “Fall back! Fall back!” the men begin to retreat, shooting as they backed away. Kevin looks at the men that just showed up and sees them charging forward. All of a sudden, he notices shots were being fired from behind them. They were going down fast. Kevin only knew one person that could shoot that fast, Jake.

_

Jake comes out of the hotel and sees a group of men with their backs to him shooting at the London team as they retreated. He sees a dead man with a gun in his hand. He picks up the gun and points both his gun and the gun from the dead man at the group of men. He begins to aim and shoot. Bodies begin to drop immediately. Becky comes out of the hotel, reads the situation and begins to fire at the group of men. The men try to turn but they were trapped between the London team and Jake with Becky. The London team stopped retreating and stood their ground. The onslaught was bad, and under ten seconds, it was all over. Jake heads straight for his car with Becky behind him. They get to the car and get in. Jake starts the car, puts the gear in drive and drives off.
