CHAPTER TWO:
"Hey Tasha you mind setting the table?" shouted Nancy from the kitchen, "sure thing" she replied. Suddenly the doorbell rang, Nancy immediately knew something was wrong, the safe house they were supposed to go to earlier was compromised before they even got there and now her home, the coincidences were simply too much, there was only one explanation she could think of, there was a mole in the agency but only the chief and a few other higher ups knew about , Nancy immediately knew something was wrong, the safe house they were supposed to go to earlier was compromised before they even got there and now her home, the coincidences were simply too much, there was only one explanation she could think of, there was a mole in the agency but only the chief and a few other higher ups knew about the safe house and the safe house and her decision to bring Tasha here, the sound of Tasha's voice broke her chain of thoughts.
"I'll get it", "Tasha no!" shouted Nancy as a bullet whizzed past Tasha's face, her screams jolted Nancy into action, "Tasha get down" shouted Nancy as she grabbed one of her guns latched under the kitchen table, Nancy rushed into the dining room shouting for Tasha to move, suddenly the door burst open followed by tear gas Nancy hit the first target to come through the door squiare in the chest with a kitchen knife and as he dropped two more entered through the door spraying bullets inh Nancy's direction, Tasha curled up like a ball against a wall covering her ears, hoping this was just a bad dream and she would wake up and it would all be over but it wasn't a dream. The two armed men signaled and five more entered the room, Nancy eyed Tracy and signaled for her to come over but she was hesitant and scared out of her wits. "Come out, come out wherever you are Alex or would you prefer I call you special agent Nancy Harris, really I'm disappointed, is this how you welcome your good friends", said a familiar voice, Nancy knew that voice and she desperately resented it, it was Hugo, the boss's right hand man and as much as Nancy hated him and would like to kill him she knew that her priority at the moment was to get Tasha out of there, if she ever landed in the hands of Hugo, he would get the schematics and Formulas out of her even if it meant torturing her to the point of breaking every bone in her body but keeping her alive enough to get what he wanted out of her. She couldn't trust the agency and until she found out who it was that leaked their location to Hugo and his team she couldn't call for back up, it was up to her and her alone, their lives depended on her next decision.
"sorry about that Hugo but when a friend shows up with guns ablaze this is the best I could do, hope you don't mind my manners", it was now or never she had to grab Tasha and get to the garage, it was their only chance of getting out of there alive, "hey Alex or Nancy, whatever your name is, so the part about you being a lesbian was a lie too, all just part of your cover?", shouted Hugo shooting in her direction, "well yeah, it's just that I didn't want a lame guy like you hitting on me" she replied returning fire. "Well now I'm just hurt" he said giving his best sorry pout, she made a mad dash to get to Tasha with bullets heavy on her tail and once she reached her, she turned to return fire taking down two men and much to her pleasure grazing Hugo's arm, "and Hugo guess what, I have a boyfriend, he's tall and handsome and one more thing, he's still got hair growing on his head, you bald ninny!", Hugo infuriated by her comments shot at her continuously, hoping and praying she would just die. "Can you not make the bald bad guy angry", "just go" she said pushing Tasha towards the garage door and giving her cover fire, Nancy tossed the keys at her as she fumbled with the lock "why are you giving me the car keys?" she asked almost in tears.
"you drive, I shoot" said Nancy busy taking aim, "what I can't drive like this, I'm completely disoriented", "well would you like to switch places?" she asked sarcastically, "good that's what I thought. How can she laugh at a time like this" thought Tasha, "damn it I out of ammo" grunted Nancy, she turned and kicked open the door that Tasha had been struggling with for over two minutes, much to her surprise, she found her M13 latched above the door post, "yes!" she let out an excited yelp. A bullet whizzed past her face and she flipped the gun into automatic fire and graciously returned fire, meanwhile Tracy slid into the driver's seat and turned the ignition, the engine kicked and died, she tried it again and again and again "seriously, what's going on?" shouted Nancy over the noise of the gunshots, "it's the car, it won't start", replied Tasha, obviously disoriented and panicking. And finally after a fifth attempt, the engine roared to life, "Come on" ushered Tasha as she shifted the gears and opened the garage doors, "go I'll be outside soon", Tasha threw the car into reverse and was out of the garage in a matter of seconds, "Nancy, come on", shouted Tasha as bullets hit the car's windshield, sending glass flying all over the place. Nancy turned to retreat but after two steps, the last thing she remembered was the sound of a gunshot, the soft clank of shell landing against the linoleum floor, the feeling of searing pain in her back, the feeling of warm liquid flowing down her back, Nancy fell to her knees, her gun fell to the cold ground, Tasha's screams broke the silence followed by two more shots that hit her in the back, Nancy gasped and fell face first to the ground, eyes open and with her dying breath she struggled and whispered a weak "go" that faded with the cold wind.
The last thing she remembered was seeing Tasha panicking as she tried to adjust the gears through a broken windshield driving off at break neck speed with bullets in close pursuit, that was all I remembered before there was nothing and that was how I died, kind of funny actually because I don't even know who pulled the trigger, who shot me, but I know one thing for sure, I am not going to rest until I bring down my killers, get justice for my death and finish my mission.
