Chapter 20: The Deception

*The group consisting on Kat, Susan, Alex and Chloe all arrive outside of a town, the same town Matthew was dropped off at*

Susan: Okay guys, we're here, ready to get some rest and some even better food?

Alex: As long as I'm sticking to you, then heck yeah!

Chloe: Yewwp suuew awm!

Kat: Anything better than this cramped car...

Susan: Well then, let's go people.

*Matthew watches from the top floor of a 6 story building, planning his next move*

Matthew: *Talking into his radio* This is uhh, Mike Alpha Tango here, I have an eye on theeee targets, what's the call?

Mason: Destroy the car, make sure they pin down into a single building, preferable yours.

Matthew: How do you expect me to do that, bud?

Mason: You have a frag, correct?

Matthew: *Rummaging through his bag, and finding a compact, mini AT-4* Well maybe...but THIS should work, for sure.

Mason: Well get that one, we'll be there in half an hour, good luck with it, Mason out. *The comms are cut, leaving Matthew in silence*

Matthew: *He takes aim with the AT-4, and closing his eyes as he pulling the trigger*

Chloe: *She hears the sound of the missile from across the road, and her points at it* Heyyyy! Wawts dawwt, Kat?

Kat: *She turns her head, looking at the rocket flying quickly towards the car* SHOOT, UHM...EVERYONE GET DOWN! *He quickly drops to the ground, covering Chloe with her body*

*By the time the rocket hits the car,  Alex and Susan were not able to react fast enough. Shrapnel from the car hits Susan in the head and blasts Alex about 20 feet, he has several seconds airtime before hitting the ground, unconscious*

Chloe: *She squeezes Kat tightly, silently thanking her*

Matthew: *He pumps his fist into the air, checking his watch* Alrighty, about 20 minutes. I best go distract them for a little while. *He puts his bag back on, turning his watch off so they don't get suspicious, and makes his way down the 6 flights of stairs*

Kat: *She holds Chloe as she stands up, looking at the burning hunk of metal that used to be a car. She stumbles over to Alex, who is now in the middle of the road* Hey, is everyone okay?

Chloe: *She is softly sobbing, making sounds of a heavy pain*

Alex: *He gets up, revealing that a piece of rebar that got plunged into his side* Uhm...would you believe me if I said yes?

Susan: *She gets up from her downed state, and stumbles over to Chloe, taking her from Kat* Jesus Chloe, whats wrong with your eye? *She takes Chloe's glasses off, realizing that they shattered, getting a little bit of glass lodged in her eye* Oh my god i'm so sorry, Chloe. *She holds Chloe even tighter, showing extreme affection*

Matthew: *Despite taking a little while longer, he emerges from the building and comes out to the group* HOLY HECK, you guys okay? I saw that hit and decided to come help out, you guys look MESSED up.

Kat: We're...lets say we could use some help.

Alex: *He tries to pull at the rebar, but it's no use* Yeah man, we would love your help, please...

Matthew: Sure thing, man. come on inside, i've got medicine.

Kat: Alright then, you lead the way.

Matthew: *He quickly takes a look at his watch after reactivating it, not even a minute left, he can also hear the sound of a verti-bird in the distance* Hang on, what's that noise?

Susan: It's probably just a helicopter, it's nothing?

Matthew: Well there's a problem, which is why I ask. I kinda used a dresser and blocked my door off, so who's the most physically able around here?

Kat: *She looks at everyone else here in the group, getting suspicious of Matthew and his intentions* Why do you need to know?

*The verti-bird gets closer, then eventually lands*

Matthew: *He turns around, stunning Kat with a taser* Because...I need to know who would fight back...

Alex: *He looks in shock, and slowly backs away*

Susan: *She holds Chloe closer, not sure what to do*

*The verti-bird opens it's hatch, revealing a minimum of 5 empire soldiers with Mason in the front*

Mason: Well friends, it seems we've met again. Sadly...i've been given an order.

Kat: MASON! WE TRUSTED YOU, WE SAVED YOU, I SAVED YOU, AND YOU'RE JUST GONNA DO US LIKE THIS?

Alex: *sounding weak* seriously man, whats wrong with you?

Mason: *Ignoring them* ALright boys, get them into position.

Soldiers 1-4: Will do sir...*They forcefully grab everyone, except for Matthew, and put them into a bound state of being held*

Mason: *Points to the last soldier* You, get the camera out. I'm gonna enjoy this.

Soldier 5: *He turns on his helmet camera, and also activates his drone, equipped with a camera, and captures the whole event*

Mason: *Pulls his pistol out, speaking loud enough for the cameras to pick up* So as we know, you all decided to go and try to abandon us...*He looks at Susan, who is currently tearing up* and YOU tried to help them.

Susan: Sir we're so sorry...we'll do anything if you just-

Mason: No use bargaining, i've came to an offer and i'm going through with it. *He waves his gun around, then stops with the gun raised at one of the group members* since you decided to leave us, we have to use one of you as an example. And let me tell you, this will remind you to never mess with the Empire again...*He fires the gun*
