The three of us drop silently into the chamber, painfully aware of the danger that surrounds us. I place three explosive charges on the main doorway leading into Karwa's leadership council.
Shan and Amber wait, weapons at the ready. A loud boom and a flash of light fills the room as the door blows off its hinges. We spread out as we enter the room.
Inside, the inhabitants are groggy, obviously disoriented from the blast. I sense an attack and duck as a large wooden plank shatters against a wall. I roll on the ground and bound back to my feet and look dead in the eye of my attacker. My mind flashes back to him fucking me in the ass. I drop my weapon, staring him down.
"We don't have time for this," I hear Amber yell to me.
"Go." I say. The much larger man kicks at me, a glancing blow that slides off my face. I drop low, spinning my legs out, catching him in the knee. I hear a pop as he crumples on the floor, probably crippled for life. I walk up to him, .9 mm pistol in hand and empty two rounds into his chest.
"Bastard," I say as I walk out of the room.
I follow down a long, dark hallway knowing that the girls had gone this way. I reach them, standing in an open area.
I stare in horror at what I see. 10 young girls, probably 16 years old are all huddled together in a cold room. Their clothes are tattered and they are generally unkempt.
"Did he?" I can't bring myself to ask the question.
"No," Shannan says, "Not yet. He waits until they are 18. He begins grooming them mentally now, to be his slaves."
I notice Shannan's lip quiver. She knows all to well what goes on here.
"You have to get them out of here," she tells Amber and I.
Without notice, she bounds back up the dark hallway. She winds up a long concrete staircase heading to her chamber. She walks in, retrieves a few weapons and then begins to make her way back down. She pauses at a royal blue door.
"Azure," she thinks to herself. She taps in a code to the keypad and enters the room of the lovely brunette.
"Azure. Sara, we need to go." Azure's eyes slowly open, she focuses on Shan and a smile quickly appears on her face.
