37 Escape Pt. 2 (1/2)
As Reed and the hostages ran towards the extraction point, gun shots could be heard behind them. At that the same time shots could be heard in front of them as well. However those shots weren't directed at them. It was Aily's team attacking the warehouse, clearing out the guards that separate them. giving Reed and the hostages a clear passage.
”Hurry, the exit isn't that far now! Reed yelled as he carried Lillian in his arms. They were now 200 yards from the extraction and Aily and her team could be seen in the distance, finishing up the last of the guards.
”Come on, the way is clear,” Aily waved at Reed who was running her way with the hostages right behind them.
Passing Aily's team who was watching their back, Reed finally reached the extraction point where Tyler and his team were waiting him. Upon seeing Reed, Tyler immediately noticed Lillian who was as pale as a ghost in Reed's arms.
”Here, take her.” Reed gave Lillian who was in his arms to Tyler and explained immediately, ”That person in your arms is Lillian Myers and the reason why we came here in the first place. She is also wounded so treat her carefully. The first I want you to do is place her and the weakest of the hostages into one of the escape vehicles and after your done with that, I want you or someone from your team to drive back to base asap so the hostages can get the medical treatment they need.
Once your done with that, you can then deal with the rest of hostages by fitting them in whichever vehicle you see fit. While you do that, I'll be helping Aily's team keeping back the guards.”
Tyler nodded as he was able to absorb every word Reed said and ingrained it into his very soul.” I got you loud and clear boss. Once I'm done with all of what you told me, I'll immediately radio you and Aily's team to retreat.”
”Good”, Reed nodded and ran back to where Aily and her team were. At this moment Aily and her team were hiding behind metal crates , using it as cover from the oncoming hail of bullets. The smell of gun powder was in the air as the guards and Aily's team took turns firing back at each other. The process was a rinse and repeat situation.
When the guards started shooting Aily's team, they would immediately hide behind cover, preventing a single bullet from reaching them. And when Aily's team retaliated, shooting back at the guards, they too would then hide behind their cover of metal crates. However, Aily and her team were trained by Reed personally, giving them the advantage over their opponents. The advantage being that they were able to pick off a few guards who had their head out for a second too long,
Meaning that unlike Aily's team, the number of guards shooting at Aily's team were dwindling slowly.
When Reed arrived at the gunfight he immediately got behind cover which was the same one Aily was personally using to protect herself from oncoming bullets.
