While I was being pinned, Hunter and Doomsday were busy. Hunter shot Doomsday's Magnum out of her hand. After a series of back flips and cartwheels Doomsday hid behind a mound of crates. Hunter kept firing and then ran out of bullets. He tossed the gauntlet aside and pulled out his Machete'. Doomsday revealed herself and was holding two fighting knives backwards. They started going at it.
Meanwhile, Nicole pokes her head out from under the entrance. She puts her finger to her lips, signaling me to keep quiet. She looked around and saw that everyone was preoccupied with killing each other. She went over to me and dragged the carcase off of me. She saw the knife on his belt and grabbed it. The plastic cuffs were no problem without the knife, it was the bolas that tied up my feet that was the problem. (Note: Bolas- Three balls attached to three tied up strings. Designed for screwing up any one person's chance for escape.) Anyway we got them free and Doomsday got a glimpse of us. That's all she needed. Hunter saw us too. "Troopers! Kill the girl! Secure the boy!" Hunter yelled in Spanish. I'm failing Spanish, but I think he generally said the same thing. But what they failed to realize is that the minions killed each other. Hunter's last minion died due to a Russian Ballistics Knife. Miss Doomsday's trooper died to the new implants of lead in his head.
Hunter and Doomsday looked at each other, nodded, and started walking towards us in unison. Crap. We were standing now; I snatched the knife and held it out against the too. "Unless, you want metal in your head I suggest you stay where you are." I said, trying to sound menacing. They didn't even slow down by a fraction. I felt a button on the handle, I aimed it at Hunter and pressed it. The blade shot out and got him in the stomach. He doubled over in pain. Doomsday only glanced a him and moved in on me. Great, I made the deadly assassin's job easier.
We had other ideas. I grabbed her right arm and wrenched the knife out of her hand, Miss Doomsday would have her other knife in my back if Nicole didn't do the same thing with her left arm. I kneed her in the stomach causing her to double over, she looked up and ahead of her just in time to see Nicole's foot come over her own body and land a solid on the bounty's face. We let her stumble backward. As she held her face Nicole flew and stepped up her body in the air, making sure she landed that last step on Doomsday's face. I followed up behind her and landed one solid punch on her face. Making the jaw bone crack and the nose gush blood. She landed on her back knocked out cold on the floor. I looked at the mess I made. All these people died, some are soon on their way. Nicole called the police and told them the address. After she hung up, I said, "These people could have lived." Nicole's voice came from behind me, "They were criminals, Gabe. You can't save everybody." "Still, I would feel better knowing they were in jail rather than a grave." She shrugged, then, "C'mon. The police station is not too far from here. We need to get a move on if we're gonna escape." I nodded. She wrapped her arms around me and used her wings to push herself against the Earth's gravity. Soon we were on our way to the house where I am about to be kicked out of for sure.
It was nice while it lasted.
