The Lead

     Mason kicked the table down; causing all of the equipment to crash to the floor and break into several pieces. Then, he grabbed my hand and ran. The gun shots just barely missed us as we ran into the kitchen and ducked under the counter. Mason handed me a gun with a worried look.

     "I'm not going to shoot you." I whispered.

     He still didn't seem to happy but he nodded. The gun shots had stopped but we could hear their footsteps. They came slowly as if to hide the sound the sound of their boots. It didn't work. I could feel a man standing on the opposite side of the counter. The gun in my hand was like an old friend. I gave Mason a nod, flipped over the counter, and landed on the ground with my feet on the man's chest. Before he could do anything, a bullet was dislodged from my gun at his head. 

     By now, Mason had gotten up and started shooting some other men. I turned around to see a man advancing on him. Again, I pulled the trigger but a man came from behind and kicked me to the ground. I landed face first onto the tile. A gun was being pressed to my skull.

     "Say your prayers." He hissed. A gun was shot... No pain... Why wasn't I feeling any pain? I opened my eyes. I was still alive and when I looked up, I saw Mason panting heavily with his gun still aimed behind me. The man that had told me to say my prayers was dead. I got up and hugged Mason tightly. Another man came around the corner so I lifted my gun up and I felt one of Mason's arms also go up. I shot one man while he shot the other. We were a team whether or not we had a full unit.

     "Is that all of them?" I asked.

     "I don't know..." He stared into my eyes but I pushed myself away.

     "We should search them for a possible lead." I filled the awkward silence while avoiding Mason's sad eyes. Blood coated my hands as I shoved my hands into several pockets. I found nothing but cellphones which actually were a good prize. We flipped through the messages and call history; we finally had our lead. A smile spread across my lips.

It was short, but it was an important event and I am excited to see more. It seems like maybe something is going on between Mason and her?

I may be short, it was intense and good-paced. I'm warming up on Mason, now they work together he sounds okay. A good chapter, well done.
