I Can't Stand You Sherlock

Chapter 30: Second Wave

Look out for the <>!

"Is that it?" Trevor asked hopefully as he peeked out the window that was in the family room. We either killed her men or locked them up in the basement an hour ago. Since then, things have been quiet but I know more would come, it was just a matter of time.

I knew she wouldn't be in the first wave that came through. She was smart, she would be in the second group when we were at our weakest. "No, that was just the welcoming crew." I winced as I sat down on the floor feeling my aching, bruised, and broken body. I was worn out and I just wanted to rest.

We waited for about 30 minutes in silence until the sun started to go down. My eyes were getting more tired by the moment and soon I gave into their command, sleep. I laid down and put my head on John's lap and quickly fell asleep.

"Maybe she's not coming," John said, causing me to open my eyes to see that the sun had gone away completely.

"How long was I out?" I asked John as I sat back up slowly. My body ached even more then before as I moved.

"Maybe an hour."

I looked around and saw that Trevor wasn't to be seen. "Where's Trevor?"

"He went to get candles from the kitchen. The power is out."

"Ok," I said as I heard a loud bang, causing me to jump to my feet. I ran to the window and saw that a huge van had pulled next to the house. The car that I had already exploded was on fire again.

"They're here." John got up from the ground and got his gun then ran upstairs, reading himself for the next wave.

I got my gun and peeked out the window through the boards to see if I could see her. I saw about another eight more people that came out of the van and then came the women of the hour. I felt my heart speed up as I looked at the one I had been waiting for. Her short blonde hair was pulled up into a bun, looking like she was ready for a fight, one that I would give.

I watched her look around her surroundings with a cocky smirk. She had this confidence that was extremely irritating. She pull out a mega phone and started talking into it. "Now Rori, I know you're here. Why don't you just hand yourself in and this will be easy."

I had no intentions on handing myself in so instead I just kept quiet and watched, wanting to know what would happen next. There was a minute of silence as her confident smirk fell to a frown. "You have five more seconds to decide. 5,4, 3, 2, 1. Ok if that's the way you want it so be it." She motioned to her people to get into the house.

"Here it goes." I pumped my gun and within a minute, a man came rounding the corner but he stepped on one of the floor boards that had a bomb underneath. I looked away as the board exploded.

I ran into the back room were two men were there, trying to untie the man that we put in the pantry. He was the only one we didn't put into the basement and now I was wondering why we didn't send him there to begin with.

Without thinking, I fired my gun at one of the men from around the corner. It hit him in the leg and fell to the ground. The other ducked down and shot my way, missing me. I waited until he reloaded then I popped out around the corner and shot him in the leg as well.

As soon as I did that a grenade came through the window of the room and exploded with a load bang. It knocked me off my feet, causing me to fall to the ground. My head smacked hard against the hard wood floor causing me to lay there for a moment in a daze until I realized I had to keep going or they would find me. I pushed myself up from the ground and crawled through to the kitchen just as another grenade come rolling in. It popped loudly, sending debris flying, hitting my body.
