Before they could do anything thing or take any action, the earth started shaking and everyone started to grab anything to support themselves, some of them held onto the rock they were hiding behind, and some of them went under the first tree near themselves he was far from being a gentleman man or even have any idea what's it is going on, that itself created a curious between them, though they could see the man they want to catch not that far from them still they ware unable to do any in that regard, they couldn't chase him as the plan was, they couldn't shoot him, because they couldn't balance themselves. The feet underneath them were trembling, and there was nothing to support them.
The funny thing is that their target didn't hesitate with all these trembling and shaking going around and kept running, widening the distance between them every second that went by.

"I think we are close; if my guess is correct, we are a few hundred meters away from the location, where the gunshots were coming from." Aden looked back at the two women walking behind him and said that none of them said anything; they just followed him, and the reason for that was when the earthquake stopped. He said, "The only way to get information and to know where we are is to find someone to ask, and over there there are people who are shooting guns, whether they are shooting each other or something else, our best bets are to go there and figure out what's going on." He paused for a second and then asked, "Any objections?" None of them said anything. Both of the women nodded to him, and he started heading toward where the gunshots were coming from.
Without any prior arrangements, all the parties started to go towards where the gunshots were coming from, each party in a different direction: one from the north, another from the south, and the other two each from the east and west. However you think about it, no one could have planned it better, specifically for an unknown situation like this one. Among the parties, Aden and his little sister Amran were the only ones who were definitely aware that there was someone behind all of this, although Aden's was just a suspicion and Amran's memory was intact; she was 100 percent sure since she had witnessed with her own eyes the abduction and the laboratory that changed her brother's physical appearance. The only thing she was missing was knowing the reason behind all of this.
....
Ozak and the guard who was with him were the first to come to the location where the exchange of gunshots was coming from. While they were going, they heard several gunshots, which gave them the precise location, so they headed there quickly while being conscious of their surroundings at the same time.
They came from the north side, not expecting anything at all; he didn't have any expectations, and he wasn't even worried that he might get shot or be hit by a stray bullet. For some reason, he was actually excited, and for some reason, he even thought he may go back to earth, so all he was thinking about was seeing somebody and getting some information.
Amran and her company were the second teams to arrive, from the western part of the forest. Leading them in the front was Ajbadan; behind him was Azmar, and walking one step behind was Amun; and finally, at the rear, was Raco. They didn't walk that much of a distance from where the earthquake happened, it was only a few minutes, and during that time they heard a few more gunshots, making them anxious about what was ahead of them.
Aden and the two ladies were the next to arrive from the opposite direction of Ozak, which was the southern side, and he was the closest to where the action was going on, but what he saw was not what he was expecting to see, the scene in front of him was a woman and two children who were carrying and a young boy with a sniper rifle. As soon as the boy noticed that there was someone behind him without hesitating, he turned and shot at the first one his eyes caught, which happened to be Aden, who was leading the two ladies and was at the front.
The views each one of the parties encountered was different, though the forest was very dense to begin with Still anyone could see anything around him or her though with a limited space, Ajbadan was the one who was in front of his group and leading them, he stopped walking when he came to a clearing in front of him, the first thing he noticed was a couple bodies laying on the ground, he signaled to his group by his hand to stop then immediately squatted on the ground.
Watching what he did, every one behind him did the same. Amran was the only one who kept standing, although her height was almost equal to theirs, so in her opinion it didn't make any difference if she sat or stood. That was one thing. The other thing was that she had already scanned all the areas surrounding her, and didn't see or feel any immediate danger. Nothing was wrong with what their guide did; on the contrary, it showed that he is capable of taking the correct decision at the correct time.
When she saw the two bodies on the ground, she knew that they were dead, and there was no need for her to wonder what happened to them. It was obvious that they had been shot, and she thought, "That means the shooter was in front of us, but why he stopped and didn't shoot at us, is he capable of differentiating between his enemies and us?" at that same moment she heard another shot, but it was clearly not towards them, and in a low voice she murmured, "Probably some came behind the shooter and he is shooting at them and didn't notice us because of that."
