《Luna》Rose & Serpent, volume demised
Advertisement
Bagira sits in the pilot cabin of a C-130 transport in silence, hearing the news from the cellphone. Something must went wrong as she hadn't find the package in the final check. The airport is hers for this afternoon, she controlled the Russian employees here, divided the girl and her protector, and almost successfully moved the package onboard. Exactly......The only part ruined the whole plan lies on that girl, daughter of the Major. She is indeed underestimate her will and skills.
Really......she only regarded her as a spoiled princess who put all her safety on the wings of U.S.S.A.
"We've lost her......again! She's escaped from the crowd, we're now checking every corner and room where she could possibily hide------"
"All units," Bagira stops her zealots in firm, "Now listen to me: find her, but do not push her. I want her in whole. Block her up in a restricted area and report it to me."
She hangs off and stands up. Ilich watches her taking off the pilot helmet and ready to leave.
"Leave this shit to them, Bagira," he says, "No need to show yourself in public."
"They either kill her, or let go off her," Bagira shakes head, "Don't worry, brother. No loose end this time."
At the other side of the airport, as the police run to Kevi and almost catch her, she shuts the gate and locks it. See them smashing the gate with a crowbar, Kevi moves a chair to press against the handle, brings everything she could get from the room to the door.
About 1 minute later, the smash ends with several curses. Kevi leans her back at the gate, puts her ear close to it to make sure they've left.
"Damn......they're not giving up," she tells herself inwardly, "I'm stuck here......"
No time for caution. She must get to the metro and find Nemo fast. Every minute she spend on dealing with them would turn to risk. They have advantages in number. It's only a matter of time for them to block the place. She can't fight dozens of people surrounding.
Kevi walks through the passage in a haste. With an occasional glance at the wall, Kevi pauses by there. It's a map, scattered in pieces and faded in color, with details lost but still distinguishable overall.
The structure has 3 layers, and the metro lies on the buttom, which is groundfloor 1. There are still other 4 entrances on the top 2 layers, which the police might have reached. The only way to get to the metro is the stairway, about 50 meters northeast.
Kevi takes a rough picture of the map, and runs to the stairway by the guidance.
As she opens the door, she sees flashlight coming from below, and an obvious jut with a pistol outline exhibits on the shadow......
Kevi shuts the door without thinking. She steps backforwrd, heisitates the next move.

Run, or fight?
There's no way to run! She must beat the gunner down before she can move to the metro. But how? She has no firearm......fighting will be too risky.
"OK......"
Kevi comes up with an idea. She leans by the door, makes a little noise by taping the wall and wait.
The steps are closing in. Good! They must find her here, but they don't know exactly her position------
Crack!
Two men stamps the door open, hold the pistols and searching around.
"Where is she?" a beard man asks in Russian, "Should be there......"
Then he let out a painful scream, as Kevi under the table kicks him at knee with the blade. The second bald man raises the pistol, but Kevi rushes to him, seizes the flashlight and press it against his eyes.
"Fucking bitch!"
As Kevi grabs the pistol and about to shoot, she feels an extreme pain from her back, almost cracks her ribcage. She can't help coughing with breathless and turning back. The beard man lifts the table up, and smashes it on Kevi again. That powerful strike beat her on the ground, she feels her hot blood is flowing out from her nose, she can see stars on her eyes and almost falls to coma. The rest of her consciousness forces her to hold her body by one knee, jumps and kicks at the beard man's chest. She rolls down to the stair by the reaction force.
"I'm gonna kill her! Cyka! I'll shoot the shit out of her!"
Hearing the furious scream from above, Kevi supports her body up with one hand, crawls downstairs with every muscles. Bullets are pouring above her head, leave dozens of holes at the wall behind her......
"Stop! Stop!" the bald man drags the pistol from his partner, "Don't shoot! You are not hearing the boss said? Don't shoot!"
After wasting the whole magazine of his pistol, the beard man stops the fire in unbearable rage.
"She's fucked up!" he holds the wound at her knees, still cursing, "Not gonna run away from me......"
"Luna, what's going on your side?" as Nemo calls her, Kevi picks the cellphone, "I hear gunshot from your direction."
"Damn it!" Kevi complaints, "Where are you?"
"On the way to the metro. I can see police are gathering at the gate. Move fast underground or they'll outflank your position!"
'I got two damn gunners on my tail!"
"Gunners? They're not police?"
"Who the heck knows?"
On the otherside of the cellphone, Nemo snuffs in surprise.
"Luna, I have a solution------"
"Again?'
"You move to the floor one, find a way to let the police chasing you, and lead them to the gunners side."
"What? Not joking me this time------'
'That's the only way to get away from them both. Trust me Luna, the police will regard them as your companions."

"But I------"
Kevi is still in dilemma, but the gunners are chasing from upperstair and leaves her no choice. She pushes the gate open and runs out.
Left, then move about 5 cubicles along the passage......
Kevi watches the map on the cellphone as she continues running.
Left again, to the corner......move into the big shelter chamber from the front foor, then walk to the backdoor and lock the gunners inside, then escape to the right passage until reach the entrance......get the attention from the police and return back, induce them follows her step to clash with the gunners who locked inside the shelter room, and finally......
Finally is not up to her.
"Have fun you guys."
Watches the police breach the door and move in to the shelter chamber, then coming out several gun shot from inside, Kevi sneers at them in self-proud. Without anyone's attention, she moves back to the stairway and walks down to the metro.
......
......
Report from the front, report from the front.
Two armed men have been shot down. No sign of that girl.
Keep searching around. I repeat. Keep searching around......
......
......
"Huh......"
After opening the last door of the groundfloor 1, Kevi signs with relief. She wipes the blood of her nose with sleeve, with other hand still holds the cellphone.
"I'm arrived, supervisor......" she looks around, "Gee.....shit signal."
No respond, only signal jamming buzzling. Kevi puts the cellphone back to the pocket, opens her eyes as wide as she could.
No sign of any human being around. The only source of light is the safety lamp by the wall and on the railway. Kevi keeps walking to the stage, with the pistol she disarmed from that gunner.
"Supervisor?" she asks intentatively, "Nemo?"
The only sound answers her is her voice echoes around the broad area. Kevi holds the pistol by two hands, checking the dark railway with aimming.
Still no sign of people. Kevi frowns in puzzle. Nemo won't cheat her. He might be assertive and stumble in his annoyed style, but he is the one by her side......
Catching a glimpse by chance, a fast-moving shadow is striking at Kevi's direction, as she raises the pistol and targeting back------
Something hard and sharp hits Kevi's hand, makes her drops the pistol down to the railway. She let go of a short scream, covers her hand and steps a bit back. Suddenly she feels her waist being hugged, and her whole body is dragging down on the railway tunnel.
The attacker won't give her a rest. Another powerful punch comes directly at her face. Kevi blocks it by arms, but the same pain strikes again, as if something pierces her skin.
It's a brass knuckle, twinkling under the dim light, with iron fangs on each finger.
Driven by a gust of hatred, Kevi fights back without hesitate. She stamps the ground to release the blade, and kicks to the shadow. The attacker jumps back, leaves a big gap between them. All the kicks from Kevi are dodged.
The attacker blocks her side kick, grabs her ankle and twisted it to force Kevi kneel down. Kevi struggles to stand up, but her knee is trampled by the attacker and impossible to move. Suddenly, the brass knuckle punches her zygoma, almost incises her face to half.
The body seems not belonging to her anymore. Kevi falls on the ground. Tears and blood blurs her sight. The whole world is spinning and spinning around centered by the security lamp.....
......
......
"Kevi Song," that familiar raspy voice says, "For so many years, I've been waiting to see you in person."
Kevi lifts her eyes, stares at the attacker. It's the first time she ever heard someone call her in real name. She tries to say something, but the only sound is mumble in throat.
Bagira bends to Kevi, drags her pendant away from her neck. She feels something around her neck is emptied, with cold wind effuses through her collar.
"I'll keep this for you......" Bagira whispers, "......as a souvenir."
......
Is it over?
Is she gonna kill her?
Such a bad ending......
Not reconciled......not expected the death at here......
......
Bang!
"Drop the weapon!" someone far from the otherside shouts, "Drop the weapon! Now!"
Bagira's body shakes by the shot. Blood is splashed to the ground, she press the wound on shoulder and stands up, with another hand moving toward the pocket------
"Not move a finger! Or I'll shoot you right now!"
It's Nemo, holding the pistol aimming at Bagira, and moving one step closer. Bagira's lip trembles, with the mixture of shock and anger express on her face. She lifts her unwounded hand up to the air and steps back------
Like a thunder rumbling near by. Something breaches the tunnel, with fire and dusts created by the exposion. Both Nemo and Bagira are pushed down on the ground by the shock wave.
Against the car light Kevi could see a truck moving through the tunnel, and a man with beanie leans by the car door shouts------
"Time to go, Bagira!" Ilich says, "Get on!"
Kevi senses a slightly flowing wind......Bagira stands up fast, runs back to the truck as if she's not getting any injury. On the otherside, Nemo wipes the dust on him and gropes the pistol with her fingers......
Bang! Bang Bang!
Bagira steps up the truck and catches her brother's hand. Nemo seizes the pistol and chasing the truck, aimming at the wheel and shooting it until running out of magazine. Sparks are flying all over the target, but the wheel is still on working.
The truck falls back and changes direction, running away from the hole with high gear. Its shadow is soon faded out in the vast expanse of snow flakes.

Two Existentialists | S.R.
"How many existentialists does it take to screw a lightbulb?" Spencer asked with a small laugh. Once again the room was silent. You faintly heard Agent Rossi mutter, "Don't.""2. One to change the light bulb and one to observe how it symbolizes an incandescent beacon of subjectivity in a netherworld of cosmic nothingness," he said. The room was silent still, until you laughed. His eyes looked up at yours in confusion. "Wouldn't they sit in the dark and hope that the bulb decided to light again? An existentialist would never change the bulb. He would allow the darkness to exist," you questioned.-#1 #spencerreid#1 #mgg#1 emilyprentiss
