Chapter 9: Target

"Where are we on finding Eight Thirty One?" A tall bearded man dressed in military uniform asked in a rough, angry voice.

"We found it in this location. In a small town called Blue Stone." One of the people working the computers answered. "Blue Stone huh? Not far from here."

The man looked to his left, "Thompson!!" Someone also dressed in a military uniform approached this man. "Yes general Stone sir?"

"Send out a small retrieval team to capture the target." The general ordered.

"Sir yes sir, and what if there are any civilians that knows about the target?" Thompson said. "Capture them both, and if necessary, terminate any threat that leads back to us."

"Sir yes sir." Thompson said before leaving the large room.

Carly's eyes were wide open. She looked at Axle with great confusion. Too much thoughts going through her head on what just happened. On what he did. Axle took her first kiss and and she wasn't even pushing him back. All she was stare before Axle pulled away. He saw the look on her face.

Axle looked scared and went from scared to embarrassed, "Sorry." He said looking away. He kept muttering the word 'stupid' for what he did. He gave his first kiss away to a girl who probably didn't even have the same feelings for him.

"Just forget that I did that." This truly embarrassing for the gamer, he acted without thinking and now he was fifteen levels of embarrassed. "Axle." Carly spoke up breaking the silence that took over her.

"Listen, I don't know what came over me okay... let's just go to sleep." Axle said trying to avoid the topic, wishing he had never even attempted that. He laid his head on his pillow before trying to force himself to fall asleep.

Carly laid her head on the pillow next to Axle. They were facing each other but Axle kept his eyes shut, refusing to open them up as he refused to face her after. Carly had a small grin on her face before she gave a small peck on his lips before wrapping her arms around his neck. "Good night Axle."

"Good night Carly." He said as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"We got a visual on the target's location. It seems to be in a house, we're moving in now. Nobody seems to be awake." One of the soldiers said after looking at the heat signatures in the house.

"Let's get moving boys, it's show time." Thompson said before the the five soldiers followed behind him, moving on to Axle's house.

It took five minutes for them to approach the house and less than a minute to break in. They used a mini bomb to break off the door handle before one of them kicked the door open. The mini bomb's explosion woke up the residents of the house and the door kicking alerted them to an intruder.

"Damn, these people need better security systems." One of the soldiers whispered. They looked around the house as they all split up, ready to get what they were looking for.

"Did you hear that?" Axle whispered as he got up. "Yeah I did. What was that?" Carly asked as she stirred from her slumber. "I think someone broke into the house." Axle said before getting out of the bed.

He quietly moved under his desk and got two of his hidden knives from there, one being a dagger and the other a mere pocket knife. "Carly, hide." She saw the serious look on Axle's face before moving to the closet. "We'll talk about those knives later." She whispered angrily since Axle had more knives in stock.

Axle locked the closet and hid the key before going to his bedroom door. Whoever broke into his house was going to have hell to pay after this.
He saw the handle moving before the door opened up. He stood behind the door waiting for the intruder.

The door was completely open and Axle stayed behind and took a peak. He knew this was an intruder, but he knew he had to be quick about this as said intruder possessed an assault rifle. He was shocked since that was military grade. He knew the military weren't people to break into houses so this had to be a street thug who got his hands on some high class weaponry. Axle closed the door slowly so that it wouldn't creak. Once he was done he jumped the armed man and attached himself to the intruder's back, knives on the ready.

Axle didn't stay on long however as he used the used the dagger in his left hand to stab the guy in his heart. As if that wasn't enough, he twisted it and used the pocket knife in his right hand to cut deep into the burglar's jugular vein.

Due to this, the armed man shot around the room randomly which in turn alerted everyone in the house that something was happening in Axle's room.

"Crap, cover's blown. Retreat!" Thompson said before he and four of the soldiers ran out of the house. One of them being hesitant to leave the last one behind but he wasn't going to fall with him. He sighed heavily before running out and away with the rest of his squad.

In Axle's room though, he got off of the intruder but the man was still shooting and hit Axle in his diaphragm before dropping dead.

The blood was gushing out of the wound and it kept coming out, even though he put pressure on it. He dropped down and cringed as the pain was overtaking him.

"Son of bitch!!!" He yelled out. The first to enter Axle's room was Laura due to her room being closer to his. Soon came in Melanie and Axle's father, Nick who had a gun on the ready.

They saw the dead body, blood flowing everywhere leaving a strong smell of iron and a bleeding Axle laying on the floor. This horrified them because Axle was laying on the ground bleeding out and that he had killed somebody, but they were a bit relieved that the threat has been dealt with.

"Nick, call an ambulance." Melanie said before Laura went around looking for Carly. It was revealed that Carly was locked in the closet and Laura quickly searched for the key.

"Way ahead of you." Nick said as he was on the phone calling for an ambulance. Laura managed to find Axle's closet key before going to free Laura from the closet.

When Carly was free she saw Axle down and she rushed over to him, trying to make sure he was okay. After seeing the injury she was crying and those cries were the only thing that Axle could hear before blacking out from the pain and loss of blood.
