After Ivar retrieved his arrows, he stripped the driver of his clothes and threw it at Nick.

Nick went to inspect the clothing of blood, "Hurry it up," Ivar snapped.

He only put the clothes over his own and then dragged the bodies behind a bush.

Ivar had picked up on some Norwegian language in their short stay, he took the phone of one of the men and messaged the first person in the inbox saying they have a few more and will be dropping them off in the next ten minutes.

"Remember Nick, if you do not want to kill anyone. Shoot them or stab them in the arms or legs, then I will finish them off" Ivar said from the backseat.

They pulled up to the front of the garage door, which automatically opened. 

They pulled into the empty warehouse, they quickly scoped their surrounding. The top floor has a few rooms with the windows all painted black. A few men were leisurely making their way down the stairwell. The security on the inside seem relaxed, so they must have security camera's everywhere.

"Nick, get to the control room as fast as you can. We can't let anyone call for back up otherwise we are dead," Ivar stressed, "anyone with a cell phone get rid of! I'll follow you up the stairs as fast as I can alright. May the gods be with you, brother."

The atmosphere was so tense with anticipation but hearing Ivar call Nick a brother stilled the room for a second. Nick nodded back to him with a look of brotherly love and understanding through the wired partition

"See you in Valhalla if not later, boneless," Nick grinned.

Five men in black uniform much like Nicks walked to the back of the van. As they opened the trunk, Nick slipped out and made his way to the stairs.

Ivar had his bow horizontal in hand and three arrows spread evenly along it. Ready for the incoming attack.

The men in black were chatting away, as they opened the boot and paid no attention. Before they could even look up Ivar had released his grip on the bow and the first three men were choking on blood as the arrows were impaled into their throats.

The two other men were quick to grab their guns but Ivar was faster, he grabbed a dagger from his belt and threw it into the fourth man's eye. Just as the fifth was caught off guard watching his friend slowly fall to the ground that he randomly shot and missed. Ivar had grabbed his axe from his back and threw it right at the fifth man's groin 

The man dropped to his knees in agony. Ivar then crawled forward and dragged the first three into the truck then moved to the fifth man who was struggling to hold in his pain.

Ivar got up close to his left ear. As he took the keys from the man's pockets.

"You will rot in hel, with all your friends" Ivar sneered.

He gripped the axe which caused the man to screech.
"Shh... we do not want to alert the other men. Tell me what room the girl in the robe and male who accompanied her is in or else I will not be merciful."

"Th.. the.. the basement" he stuttered.

"Have fun in hel, you bastard," Ivar smiled and he removed the axe from his nuts and sliced his head cleanly off his shoulders."

Ivar smiled at his handy work before he threw the rest of the bodies in the trunk and locked it.

He couldn't help the bloodlust in his eyes, he was ready to get his hands dirtier.

Ivar crawled as fast as he could up the stairs to find Nick. On his way, he found three men shot in the leg and unarmed. Ivar stabbed them in the heart and then in the face for good measure before continuing his path.

Ivar followed the path towards the rooms. He whistled a bird sound to signal to Nick that he was coming. Nick was to repeat the exact sound if he was good to enter or whistle a deeper tune if Nick was in trouble.

After a few seconds, there was no reply which was a clear sign that Nick was in trouble. Ivar found that the last room had to be the control room from the buzzing noise coming from it. Ivar smashed the door open to find a man standing over the control panel. 

The man was startled and tried to quickly retrieve his gun, but as he did it slipped from his grasp and drop to the ground shooting off a bullet. Ivar the fearless never flinched but looked to his left as the bullet lodged into the head of an unconscious man. 

Ivar looked back up to see Nick. His face horror-stricken at his most recent mishap. 

"Nice aim, Nick," Ivar smirked, "you bloody thirsty prick, why did you not tell me you were a natural?" 

Nick about ready to upchuck at his trip up, managed to steer his attention to Ivar. 

"Shut the hell up!" Nick said with distaste, "this is your fault!" 

"You did not signal back," Ivar shrugged with nonchalance. "It is not my fault you were frightened, also have a firm grip of your gun otherwise I will be the next one to have a bullet in my head." 

Nick just rolled his eyes and turned to look at his screen, trying to ignore the fact he accidentally killed someone. Ivar crawled over to the other four men in the control room and slit their throats. 

Nick mean while was checking all the security cameras. 

"There is a basement where they are keeping them," Ivar said as he pulled himself into a chair. 

"There is no basement in here," Nick replied. 

"What are you talking about? You have not checked." 

"There is a security camera monitoring every inch of this warehouse inside and out" Nick replied. "I can't see a single mat or object covering the floor to hide a basement entry, no doors on the side, nothing." 

"The idiot told me a basement," Ivar was fuming, "There has to be a basement." 

"I can't see an opening in the ground for a basement." 

Ivar stared at the screens, Nick was right there looked to be nothing wrong with the warehouse. 

But Ivar was starting to see a pattern in a lot of the monitors, the majority of them were on the van in different angles. That brought up suspicion as there was no need to have more than two camera's on the van. 

"The basement entrance is under the van," Ivar concluded. 

"What?" Nick questioned. 

"Look at all these monitors, they're are pointing at the van," Ivar pointed with his dagger. "It is obvious if anyone was to escape they would know because they have a view from every single angle."

"They would know who escaped and exactly what they looked like," Nick finally understanding, "smart bastards, they purposely cut the security cameras when they move them downstairs, and turn it back on when the car is back in place". 

"Not a single piece of evidence, No doubt that downstairs is heavily guarded," Ivar stated. 

"We do not have much time," Ivar said. "Let us get our friend and Eva's sister so we can go home." 

Nick ran down and moved the van out of the way, at first glance they couldn't see anything, But once they got closer they could see a small hole in the ground, just big enough to fit a grown man's finger in. 

Ivar dipped his finger inside to feel a soft button, he pushed it down and a mental handle popped out of the ground, it was painted the same as the concrete. 

Nick hauled up the door and there waiting for them was a latter leading into a basement, more like a dungeon. 

Nick climbed down first, the lightening was dim but Nick could make out several rooms down the corridor. Nick shivered, he couldn't tell if it was from the cold or from the creepy setting he was in. He couldn't imagine his poor friends who were down here for more than a day. 

Ivar slowly made his way down, after he threw his bow and quiver to Nick.

"I have the keys" Ivar held them up "Take them when we kill all these filthy rats, then you open the doors to free the people okay" 

"Okay" Nick nodded in reply.

Nick had his gun out, while Ivar sat with his bow and arrow ready. They were outside a door they could hear men laughing and grunting. Nick could only imagine what was going on in there and Ivar didn't have to. Nick didn't know it but this very scene would change his timid actions. 

As Nick kicked the door open, he found five men raping three women. The men totally naked and stripped of any fire arms moved to find their guns. Ivar had sunk an arrow through one's nuts, and before he could shoot anymore Nick had killed off the other four in five seconds flat. 

No thinking, no nothing. Nick couldn't hold back his jerk reaction of seeing disgusting pigs raping women. He had no remorse for what he had just done. 

Just as Ivar was about to congratulate Nick a door opened and half a dozen men came piling out with guns pointed at them both. Ivar and Nick were not prepared for that and found themselves in a predicament. 

                                                              <><><><><><><><><>

"Seriously Eva" Avery cried "Stealing from a hotel kitchen!" 

"Just go and get it now, while I pay for the van!" she hissed. 

Avery sulked but did it anyway. He met Eva at the front of the hotel four butcher knives hiding under the waist band of his pants. As he got in the van he took them out very carefully. 

"Holy crap, these knives are sharp! I just about cut myself twelve million times" 

"Stop over exaggerating!" Eva hissed as she followed the gps on her phone.

"How do you even know where we are going?" Avery asked. 

"I set up a tracker app on Ivar phone a while back" she shrugged "always knew it would come in handy one day"

"That pretty creepy, do all girls do that to guys they like?" he shivered. 

"No, with Ivar it's a whole different story" Eva assured him "even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me" 

"If you say so" he replied. 

<><><><><><><><><>

"There is no one here, Eva" Avery sighed. 

Eva knew that Ivar was somewhere here, his phone was in the van and no one was cruel enough to decapitate a man and stab everyone else in the face and heart. Eva knew who Ivar was, but she had never seen him in his bloodlust state. Tonight sure gave her a wake-up call on her she was really in love with.

"Shhh... I can hear something" she whispered. 

She could hear the sound of metal falling onto the ground. But she couldn't see anyone close by, they checked the premises and there were no metal chairs in the warehouse. It was empty with only dead bodies and a van. 

She heard it one more time, as she looked across the room she finally spotted uneven ground close to the van. She ran to it and found the handle, it was an underground entrance. Earlier Ivar had closed it to make sure none of the men would escape, but didn't quiet manage to seal it completely shut. 

"Help me move this" Eva snapped "Now listen to me Avery, do you want to live beyond your teens?" 

Avery looked down at the determined woman he once knew as the shy petite girl. "Of course" he replied 

"Then this is do or die, do not hesitate to stab or kill anyone okay!" she stressed, "I'm sorry you got caught up in this, but nows the time to prove your skills that Ivar taught you".

Avery brushed Eva's cheek with the back of his hand "he's rubbed off on you" he chuckled. 

Then they opened the trap door and Eva was the first to descend, Avery hot on her heels.  

Eva had two butcher knives in her hand and was tightly gripping them. By this point, they could both hear foreign male voices laughing and mocking, at the same time as flesh being pounded by fist and furniture. 

As Eva got closer to the room making all the noise, she noticed the door was half open. The men in black uniforms were too busy beating someone up they hadn't noticed Eva and Avery's presence. 

Eva stayed in the corridor, peeping through the hinge of spaces of the door. Much to her horror, she found Ivar and Nick sat on metal chairs, hands tied behind their backs. They were getting beat like a sack of potatoes and it caused a furnish to burn with Eva. 

Eva was all of a sudden in auto-pilot, she had no control of her actions as she ran into the room and stabbed the closest man in the back before sinking the other butcher knife in his friend's arm. The guy who she stabbed in the arm was quick to retaliate and punched her in the face. 

Eva bounced back really fast, as hit the man back with an upper cut. She didn't know where all this energy was coming from, but her best guess was the adrenaline. Avery came in from the right side of Eva threw a butcher knife into the back of the third man's thigh, causing him to fall to his knees. By this point, the other two had caught on and been reaching for their guns. 

Ivars' face was all bloody as, was Nicks, but he was unconscious. Just as Nick was about to throw his last butcher knife, Ivar whistle to get his attention. Ivar had his hands out to the side holding the rope open for a clear shot. 

Nick said a silent prayer before he threw the butcher knife at the ropes. To his astonishment, he only skimmed the slightest layer of skin on Ivars arm but cleaning got the rope. The other men hadn't noticed Ivars hands now free but had Nick and Ivar at gun point now. 

Once everyone realised the situation, time slowed again. 

The men were yelled at them in Norwegian but they couldn't understand, so they just stood still. Meanwhile, Ivar was busy trying to get Eva's attention. Eva finally caught his eye and couldn't help the tears well up seeing him in such a gruesome state. 

His left eye was black and blue, and half swollen shut. His face bloodied and as well as Nicks. Nick wasn't even moving, and she couldn't help but think the worst. When a sob escaped her mouth, Ivar shock his head subtly. 

She caught on straight away, 'don't show them your weakness' she pleaded to herself. He then eyed the butcher knife in her hand and then looked at his left hand hanging lowly out behind the chair.  Eva caught on right away, she knew he wanted the knife and probably had a better plan then her. She took a quick glance at Nick and sent a quick prayer to Ivars gods. 

As the mens yelling got louder, she pretended to submit and got on her knees. 

"Copy me, Avery" her voice shaky "Just do it, Ivars got something up his sleeve" 

Avery mimicked her and dropped to his knees. 

As the men both came forward towards Avery and Eva, Ivar motioned to Eva to throw the knife at him. But she didn't even look up, the adrenalin still pumping through her blood, caused her to make the next decision. She and Avery were now held at gun point and Ivar was free to do as he pleased. Ivar moved to pick up a butcher knife Avery threw earlier, the metal chair scraped the ground causing the men to swing back around. 

At that precise moment, Eva jumped up and tackled the man in front of her flat on the ground. So much for going with what Ivar had up his sleeve. The other man opened fired randomly in shock which pierced into Eva right arm. Searing hot pain shot up her arm and she fell flat against the man underneath her. 

Ivar was quick to roll Eva to the right and then stabbed the man in the heart. Then threw the butcher knife right into the last mans Adam's apple. 

Avery ran to Nick, to check if he was still breathing, while Ivar quickly cradled Eva in his arms as he put pressure on her wound. Eva tried her best to hold her tears in, but the pain was excruciating. 

"Eva, you crazy woman" he cried "Are you trying to kill me by endangering yourself?" 

Eva looked up at Ivars blue pools amongst the red sea on his face "You foolish man, don't go raiding with out your shield maiden"
