33 Chapter 33 Need to go (1/2)
(Erik POV)
Erik I need your help. Please come as quick as possible. Cassidy.
After reading the first line the world stopped. No I guess I'm the one who stopped. I quickly scan the rest of the message, finally finishing it I rush to find Max. He was in the living room talking to Sandra. Seeing me flustered he had a confused look on his face.
”Erik, you ok man?”
”I'm leaving for a few days, your incharge till I get back.”
I walk down to the armory and start to suit up. As I was getting equipped Max came rushing down the stairs.
”Hold on, more information is needed for those who can't read minds. Guess what, I don't read minds. Why are you leaving.”
I finished putting on the tactical gear and started to pick out weaponry. Blade, two knives, an assault rifle, and two pistols. Enough ammo to get me through a goblin tribe in my bag. I stop and look at Max.
”Cassidy needs my help.”
The shock that covered his face would have been priceless another time.
”Wait, didn't see get married. Also why would she only contact you now? What aren't you telling me?”
”She didn't get married only engaged, he is with her at the moment. She is with a medium size group that took shelter with one of the canadian military forces shelters over in Kingsville.”
”That's not far, why did you say a few days then. What exactly does she need help with?”
”Gremlins, kinda like goblins but even smarter. They excel at creating things and ambush tactics. Apparently the shelter is surrounded by thousands.”
”THE HELL ARE YOU GONNA DO ALONE THEN!”
”I'll figure out a plan, you know I always do.”
”Why not take the team. With all of us we could probably destroy one side of the entrapment and help the survivors escape.”
”No, won't involve them in this. The gremlins are dug in deep as well, if we tried it your way we could get wiped. I will go alone and figure out a way to first get inside the shelter, understand the situation, then come up with a plan to save the shelter. Worst case scenario I knock Cassidy unconscious and bring her back here.”
”And her fiance?”
”If he is still alive he would do well to stay away from me.”
”You or your little passenger?”
”Both.”
”The team won't like this.”
