Jason felt an overwhelming sense of danger coming from behind him, "dodge!" Jason yelled, his voice resounding in the ancient man's mind, but strangely he received no answer, "are you crazy dodge" Jason yelled out again, but still received no answer, the overwhelming sense of danger intensified as Jason yelled,
"Move or where goanna die."
With a crazy smile the ancient man suddenly side stepped as he ran, tilting his body to the right at the last moment, his hair swaying to the left as everything seemed to be in slow motion,
"Whoosh!"
Almost immediately a bullet with astonishing speed shot past his left cheek, as it cut a few strands of Jason's hair, it wasn't loud, only making a small screeching sound due to air resistance, but the bullet was so fast that Jason felt a little sore on his left cheek.
"What is wrong with you,"
Jason shouted as his voice resounded, if he was in control of his body, he would calm down and face it reasonably,
But his body was at the mercy of the ancient man, who didn't seem to take this too seriously in fact Jason could feel everything the ancient man was feeling, and it wasn't fear,
It was excitement, two opposing feelings where running rampant in Jason's body, fear, and excitement, but mostly excitement, the fear was mostly from Jason.
"Hahaha!"
The ancient man laughed, as his voice echoed throughout the silent streets of the seventh city, "trust me boy you won't get hurt,"
Seeing her attack Miss Hazel frowned a little, the gun she just used was a trump card in her possession, it was two times faster than an ordinary gun and was made to kill genetic warriors, the best part about it was that it was silent that meant that civilians would not be alerted.
Throwing away the first gun Hazel brought out two new guns from her belt, they both had green carvings on them, which shone with a cold luster under the moonlight,
"One shot, that's all I need," hazel muttered to herself as she raised her arms, she slowed down a little as her eyes narrowed a little, suddenly she took her shot.
"BAM!"
"BAM!"
Two consecutive shots sounded out, obviously these guns weren't as silent or deadly as the first, but they still gave Jason a sense of danger,
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
At exactly the same time the ancient man leaned sideways, dodging the bullet by a hairs breath, "ohh, what was that," Jason said to himself as he felt something out of the ordinary, he didn't feel it before because he wasn't paying attention, but now that he could feel it he was amazed.
He was familiar with the skill which the ancient man had been using to dodge the bullet's "is this the true power of everything is a chess piece,"
Jason felt the world around him become extremely predictable, but that feeling would only last for a short moment, as the ancient man would cancel it as soon as he activated it, as the genetic energy consumption was too high.
He had only 47% of his original genetic energy left, full mastery of all his skills where cool and all but he wouldn't really be able to use them in a prolonged battle.
"BAM!"
"BAM!"
Two loud bangs rang out but this time Jason wasn't scared as he paid attention to the feeling he got, Hazel didn't seem to be aiming at his vitals, her first shot would always be in places that would slow him down or restrict his movements, but the ancient man who seemed to be at a disadvantage was actually not that pressured.
Suddenly, the sound of police sirens could be heard from afar, but Jason or the ancient man didn't feel surprised,
Unlike the first gun she used the gun's Hazel was currently using to attack Jason where relatively loud, making a loud bang anytime she fired a shot, the noise had alerted civilian's, who would have called the police or special forces by now.
Hearing the sound of sirens Jason said, "It would be bad for us if we get cornered by the Special Forces, the cops didn't pose much of a treats, but we absolutely cannot get cornered by the Special Forces.
This time the ancient man didn't argue like before, he wasn't immortal, he couldn't even use up to one present of his original strength in Jason's weak body.
So there was no way he would be dealing with hundreds of highly trained individuals, armed to a tea with weapons meant to kill genetic warriors.
That was the definition of the Special Forces, highly trained individuals who would do anything to get their target, as for the cops, there were just normal cops.
"What do we do? All our escape roots are sealed,"
there was indeed no escape root, with the cops coming from the front and the annoying girl at the back, escaping would be really difficult, but not Impossible, besides neither Jason or the ancient man felt like escaping just yet.
Hearing the ancient man agree to him so readily Jason was secretly relived as he said, "I know an open space where you can have as much fun as you want, and the best part is I also know a short cut to home from there, but first, how good are you at climbing."
"I'm pretty good at it, why do you ask,"
With a chuckle Jason responded, "Turn left by the next alleyway, and let's see if you can make it to the rooftop of the building without being shot by the girl behind us."
With a nod the ancient man turned left, looking at the dead end in front of him, time seemed to slow down as he calculated,
Given this body's capability's it would take approximately 9 second for me to reach the rooftop, 7 second if I push it, the girl will arrive at exactly 4 seconds, there was not enough time.
Thinking about this the ancient man smiled,
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
"I love the pressure, seeing the ancient man suddenly change direction Hazel frowned as she increased her pace to catch up, turning towards the alleyway, her first instinct was to look up, but she saw nothing, turning towards the dumpster at the side, she slowly walked forward.
"BAM!"
"BAM!"
Two shots were fired into the dumpster, she didn't even open it, Jason and the ancient man where using shadow movement to hide from her, as they slowly climbed up the building, "thank goodness we didn't hide in the dumpster," by now they had already reached the roof.
Feeling the high consumption of genetic energy the ancient man, cancelled shadow movement, and just like clockwork Hazel looked upwards seeing a figure at the top of the roof her eyes narrowed, as she shot upwards immediately.
"BAM!"
"BAM!"
But the shadow was one step ahead ducking even before the shot "what sharp sense," the ancient man muttered as Jason hummed in acknowledgement.
Looking around the ancient man asked, "So where do we go next," with a stern voice Jason said, there's a construction site a few blocks away, I know a shortcut that leads to my home from there.
And with a nod the ancient man slid down a pipe as he ran towards the direction Jason was pointing at, in the abandoned ally Hazel looked towards the rooftop of the small building with a narrowed gaze, as she attempted to follow a loud voice sounded out, "freeze,"
Turning towards the voice Hazels eyes met with the gaze of two cops, they both wore matching uniforms that consisted of a white short sleeved shirt with black pants and body armor they both had the alliance emblem on their shirt which was a sun with no light rays, indicating that they weren't awakeners.
Bringing out a badge from her waist Hazel lifted it up displaying it to the two cops in front of her as she said in a calm tome, "stand down," the two cops seemed to have seen something very important as they quickly put away their guns and assumed a military stance,
Looking at the two of them Hazel said "here's my phone number, use it to track my location and contact the Special Forces, I'm after Mr. Wyatt. A vicious and careful assassin wanted all over the alliance, he was sloppy this time, and thanks to that I was able to track him, say that to the Special Forces."
Saying this Hazel climbed up the building looking around for clues, spotting a shadow from afar Hazel frowned, "he's heading to the construction site? What he is up to."
*******************************
Meanwhile the ancient man had already reached the entrance of the construction site, looking around Jason could see the skeleton of a skyscraper with multiple construction cranes, some robots could be seen on the building floating around welding or screwing something,
"Building bot," Jason muttered as he looked at the flying robots they were typically harmless, only made for the purpose of building, even at night the construction site was still lively.
Hearing the sound of sirens from afar Jason snapped out of his daze as he urged the ancient man "ok now run to the back, the shortcut is that way," but strangely enough he received no answer, Jason didn't even have to ask as he could feel the excitement running through his body, with a sigh he said, "you didn't plan to escape from the start did you,"
Remember when I said there was no way the ancient man would be dealing with hundreds of highly trained individuals, armed to a tea with weapons meant to kill genetic warriors?
Well turns out I was wrong, the ancient man was just that crazy.
With a chuckle the ancient man replied, "Where's the fun in that," knowing that he couldn't convince the ancient man to escape now Jason said in an aspirated tone, "Just don't get me killed,"
And with a shot laugh the ancient man climbed through the complicated framework of the skyscraper like an agile monkey, standing at the top, he could see the multiple lights flashing in the city all around him, the Special Forces had been looking for him, and they were rapidly closing in on his location, with excitement in his tone the ancient man said,
"Don't worry, I won't."
