A figure ran out in front of them and Kole pulled the trigger on his weapon, knocking him in the chest. Mila pulled up the rear as they made their way to the door. A bullet hit the doorjamb near her head, and she cursed as one slammed into her shoulder. She bit back a groan and turned around and shot the shooter that was coming up behind them. His body flew back from the force of her slugs.
A figure slammed into her from the side, knocking her to the ground. The pain in her shoulder pulsed but she had to ignore it as she instinctively went into fighter mode, not giving him a chance to get the upper hand on her. She threw her weight to cause them to roll. Pulling her dagger from her ankle sheath, she plunged it deep in the chest of her attacker as she landed on top.
Kole was fighting his own attacker. Kole landed a few punches to his face before he knocked him out. She scrambled for her rifle and stood, unloading a few bullets in her attacker’s chest, ensuring he wouldn’t be getting up. She walked back over to Kole and shot his attacker in the head.
“Remind me never to get on your bad side,” Kole gasped, standing tall as she arrived back at his side. He picked his gun up from the floor and glanced through the front door.
“Remind me to thank Denis for introducing me to this gun.” They pushed through the front door and she held back her groan, not wanting to alert Kole to her shoulder. It burned like fire and she had no choice but to grit and bear it.
“You can thank him as soon as we get the hell out of here,” Kole stated, coming to a halt on the porch. Mila came to a halt as a few SUVs were flying up the long driveway toward them. A few men hung out the windows, shooting toward them.
Kole returned fire, but they would be outnumbered. She knew when to stand and fight, and she also knew when it was time to run.
“Run!” she hollered, taking off down the stairs toward the yard. She pumped her legs as hard as she could and felt Kole coming up alongside her.
Something flew through the air over their heads and slammed into the first SUV, ending with a large explosion, throwing them to the ground. She rolled over, the shock from the blast causing a ringing in her ears. She glanced at the trucks and found them on the ground with fire engulfing them. The men from the trucks were scattered on the ground, attempting to get up.
“We got to keep moving,” Kole yelled, grabbing her arm and dragging her to her feet. Another missile flew overhead toward the house as they ran. The second blast shook the ground, causing them to stumble again. She righted her steps and turned for a second to see flames engulfing the house. “Mila!”
She turned back and followed Kole toward the rendezvous point.
