Chapter 3 - *SLAP* - Aim for the head! (1/2)

*whoosh*

*THUD*

I immediately ducked down while I pushed Kaley's head with me. At a quick glance, a blur of red appeared above our heads and the man in front of us was smashed by it. Turns out, Oscar grabbed a fire extinguisher and swung at the man approaching us. Blood spattered on the walls and everything fell silent. A moment passes and the man twitches again, it was followed by a downward swing of the fire extinguisher. I was staring in shock at what happened and Oscar picks up the keys on the man's waist.

”Never thought the day these old bones would still see some action.” Oscar said with a long sigh.

I gave a look at Kaley and she's shaking and her face is pale, it must be the first time she saw something like that. I tried speaking to her but she's still in shock so I grabbed her shoulders to shook her awake. Still no response, it left me no choice so I gave her a quick slap to the face.

*slap*

It seems to get the proper reception and she's now looking at me back with color on her face. She's holding her left cheek then she suddenly gave me a right slap, much stronger than what I did.

*SLAP*

”Ow! Why did you do that?! I'm sorry! I was waking you up! We need to move!” I said as I held my stinging red cheek.

”Um, I'm sorry, it hurts a bit…” she said as we followed Oscar. I took a quick glance at the corpse and aside from his mangled head, a white crystalline powder of small amounts is near his collar and in his right sleeve.

”Drugs?” I took a mental note of what I found and decided that it's best to leave this place now instead of investigating the body.

Oscar motioned for me to open the door for him while he readies his fire extinguisher. As I open it, another horrifying site assaulted our eyes. Looking at the scene, I immediately noticed the maintenance guy that we saw earlier face up with bullet holes in his torso and one on his head.

What's next to him is one of the guards facing down, looking at his position, he seems to be pushed really hard and was thrown down violently, like his head was smashed on the floor. Blood has started to make a pool beneath their bodies as it still continues to pour out.

Looking at the corpses, Oscar decided to search the body of the guard lying down. He took his shotgun, it's a Remington 870 along with a few slugs located in the guard's belt. He threw me the guard's pistol, a Beretta M9 with an additional magazine.

I checked around and I saw a few people running outside or huddled up in a corner and some employees are trying to contain the situation. On one corner, I see a bloody strap that's possibly belonging to the dog I saw earlier, but the dog is missing. I pulled out the guard's belt which contains a handcuff, pepper spray, radio, badge, and his holster. A few security personnel are outside trying to stop other people from entering the airport.

I strapped the belt on and holstered the gun and I said to Oscar, ”The other guard is not here.”

”Another one?” said Oscar.

”Yes, there were two of them here earlier.” Kaley added.

”No time to look for him, we need to get out of here now.” Oscar replied.

”Do we just leave them here? Do we need to call the authorities?” Kaley said as she pointed at the two corpses.

”No, I think the people outside are already handling it. We need to leave now; we still have time. Good thing is that it's still early, we can stock up a few more supplies at home.” Oscar said.
