We were watching T.V. when we heard a loud bang at the door. Krystal ran and hid the two books as I went to open the front door. As soon as she was out of site in my room I opened the door.
It was one of the Sanction security officers. He looked at me. "Is everything alright here?" he said and stepped into the apartment. "A Ms. Krystal Watts was not seen as to coming out of the apartment for a while."
"Yes sir." I said and looked at him. "My sister and her were having a sleep over last night. I was trying to sleep, but they were watching movies all night that kept me up. That is why she didn't go home last night." I lied and looked away from him.
"Well, that seems logical." He said and took one last look around the apartment. He saw Tabitha and stared at her. He drew his gun and pointed it at her. "Why in the fuck is there one of those things in here?" he said and I could hear the safety get flipped off.
What happened next was a blur. I reached and grabbed a vase that was sitting on the table by the door. I smashed it against his head and he fell to the ground. I started kicking him until Krystal yelled at me. I grabbed his gun and kept it pointed at him.
Krystal came in with the silenced gun from the hollowed out book. "Why the hell is he here?" she asked and handcuffed him.
"He said that it was because he didn't see you come out of here for a while." I said and rammed the front of the gun into his face. "And then this guy was about to shoot Tabitha."
"Zack!" she said and lowered the gun I was pointing at him. "We can use this to our advantage." she said and moved her head in the direction of the bathroom. "We could get some info outta them and then I can get a cleaning party out here to get him." She handed Tabitha his radio. "If you hear about anyone else coming, tell us."
We dragged the officer into the bathroom. She motioned me to lock the door behind us. I heard Tabitha raise the volume on the T.V.
I grabbed him by the throat. "Who made the call that tipped us off?" Krystal yelled at him.
"I ain't saying." he said and spat into my face.
She walked over the the mirror and smashed it. She took a shard over to him. "Zack, hold his mouth open."
I paused and then finally did what she said. I forced his mouth open and she put the shard of glass into his mouth.
"Wont talk huh?" she said and punched him. I heard the shard of glass break and he screamed in pain.
He started to spit out the shards of glass, but before he could get them all out, Krystal grabbed him by the throat. "Now, who told you?"
"A man who used to be in this terrorist group called the protectors." he spat some more. "I literally don't know the name, he has never told us."
Krystal nodded and handed me the silenced pistol. "Between the eyes Zack, we can't trust him. As soon as he gets out of here, he will get a army after us." she looked me in the eyes. "Do it."
I held the gun and looked at the man. My hand was shaking as I pointed it at him. "Please." he begged. "Don't I won't tell, I swear."
"Remember." Krystal said and looked at me. "He was gonna shoot Tabitha."
I grabbed him by the throat and pistol whipped him. "Why in the hell were you gonna shoot Tabitha?"
"She is a immune." he said as blood was pouring out of his mouth. "Her kind carries the infection in their blood, if anyone gets it into their blood stream, they become infected. She is a monster that needs to be destroyed."
I pulled the trigger, hitting him in the right eye. It came out the other side of his head and it sprayed the tub with blood, bits of skull, and brain matter. I gagged and threw up in the sink.
I came out a few minutes later and saw that Tabitha had her stuff packed up. "Krystal told me to pack my stuff, I am gonna stay with her for a while till what happened in there gets cleaned up."
Krystal looked at me. "There is a couple of protectors coming to clean up, and they are doing an investigation to find out who ratted us out." she said and looked at the table. Fred was sitting reading the plan. "He is here to take you to the hide out."
Tabitha ran over and hugged me. "Be safe brother." she said and walked with Krystal up the fire escape.
The protector team came in and Fred shook his head at me. "damn Zack, didn't know you had it in you." he said and he handed me the book. "I just can't believe we have a traitor in our midst." he looked at me and smiled. "Don't worry, Krystal and another protector, Victoria, will keep her safe."
I nodded and we walked out, hearing the clean up team doing something to the body in the bathroom. We got out of the building and he heard a squeal over the radio.
"This is Fred, who is this?" he said and motioned for me to stop.
"It is professor Asland." the voice said. "We are moving the operation to tonight. We are compromised if we wait."
"Yes sir." he said and turned to me. "Okay Zack, follow me." he said and we ran towards the guard tower closest to us.
