BRAGR) One Thing After The Other Part 1

“Heh. Don’t be full of yourself kid. You are not the only mutant around.” Davis turned and yelled out: “Jacob come help me capture this girl.”

“As you wish Boss Man.” A young man walked out from behind the other soldiers it was a face I think I have seen before but I could not pinpoint where I had seen it. He walked over with an arrogant look on his face that suddenly turned to that of fear as he stopped walking forward and took a step back, pointing at me in horror. “Bloody Demon!”

“Hmm?” I tilted my head and turned to look at Angel who was giggling away. “Why is he acting as if he had seen a monster on TV?”

 “That’s the guy who was picking on me that time in game. He was killed by you.” Angel replied while covering her mouth. She seemed to have found this young man named Jacob amusing.

“Jacob, what the hell are you doing!? Go capture her!” Davis yelled out. He seemed a little out of sorts. Maybe he expected Jacob to be some kind of high-level player, but in reality, he was still too low-level to fight me or Angel alone, never mind together.

“Boss Man, sorry but I remembered I forgot my mother wanted me to take out he trash. I better go do it before I get grounded for a month.” And like that, Jacob who seemed to have been Davis’ golden ticket ran away. He did not even say hi which was kind of rude. I mean I guess we could be considered old friends?

At any rate, the silly young man had caused my anger to subside a little as I looked at Davis. “So… you still planning to capture me or can I go now? If not, we can play how many heads do I cut off before you are satisfied.”

“No matter what you will be coming with us. Grab her! If she retaliates you can use weapons.” Davis did not seem to understand the situation he was in. I turned my gaze to the soldiers whom I met earlier and nodded at them. They nodded back but that was it.

“Since we are done here, I will be going.” I smiled, hugged Angel’s waist, and jumped. I jumped on top of the overhang of the building next to me before jumping up once more to the nearest window and kicking the glass out before landing inside.

“Ahh!” A scream was heard as I turned to see an office woman fall to the floor. I guess my entrance surprised her.

“Sorry about that.” I gave an apologetic smile before running out of the room which seemed to be a break room. It did look like a small kitchen.

 “Angel, climb on my back.” I did not mind hugging Angel but trying to run with her in my arms was not easy. She could run on her own as well but she was not as fast as I was. I wanted to climb to the roof and jump from building to building to get home if I could.

“Okay!” Angel climbed up and hugged my neck, making sure to give me a kiss on the cheek in the process. I smiled and ran down the hall to the stairs and made my way to the top. I have no idea what this Davis man planned to do but from my standpoint, I had every right to run away. I mean they were trying to capture me to start with when I had done nothing wrong all so they could use me and Angel as pawns. The government really needed to understand their limits on what they can and can not do.

I for one did not plan to slave away protecting some idiots hiding behind desks. My plan is much grander and without their fall I wouldn’t be able to live the life I wanted. My dreams were real. They were giving me an edge and I did not plan to use my edge for anyone but me and my loved ones.

I got to the roof and quickly ran to the edge not stopping for a second as I stomped my foot and launched myself through the air landing on the adjacent building. Angel was behind me squealing away. But not from being scared. She was doing it because she found it exciting. Some angel she was.

We finally got to the building next to ours before landing in the back alley. “We should be safe after making it this far.”

“Mmm. I did not hear any helicopters or anything, so I don’t think they were chasing us,” Angel replied. She had been keeping watch around us while I made my way here.

“Let’s get going then.” I took her hand and began walking towards the front entrance when I suddenly came to a stop.

“Zoe?” Angel called out to me but my eyes narrowed as I stared at the woman standing in front of the door. It was a woman I will never forget or forgive. Because she was the cause of all my problems.

I walked forward once more before stopping in front of the woman, glaring at her. “Why the fuck are you here?”
