Mole Hunt Chap. 7

Printer-friendly version

Dakota looks at the three men that she had been sent with. Two of the men were the men that Hatter had warned her about. The third one she only knew a few things about. He had a wife and two little children.

“So, what’s the job?” Dakota looks at the two men in the back of the van with her.

“You’ll find out.” The younger of the two had responded.

Dakota noticed he had looked at her a little longer then he should have. She was getting an uneasy feeling in her stomach as they got closer to their destination. Once the van stops where they were going.

“You stay here Saul and keep a lookout for us.” Chuck gets out of the van first.

Dakota follows behind him as they head towards a warehouse. Dakota had her GPS on in her cell phone, so Terry would know where to find her. She follows behind chuck with Vince following her. All three enter the warehouse and head deeper inside.

As they come to a bunch of wooden crates, she is knocked backwards by Chuck as he turned quickly on her. His fist had landed on her jaw, sending her back into Vince who wrapped his arms around her tightly.

She felt herself squeezed as he held onto her. Chuck had an evil smile on his face.

“I’ve been waiting a while to see what you were like.” As he steps closer to her.

“Then your going to have to wait a little bit longer.” Dakota elbows Vince as hard as she could in his chest.

She could feel his grip loosen some, but not enough for her to escape. She was struck by Chuck's fist as it connected with her face. She could taste blood in her mouth. She moves her head out of the way when he tries to strike her again, but hits Vince instead.

She jumps up and wrap her legs around Chuck’s neck. She shifts her weight to escape from Vince’s grip. She spins around to sit on Chuck’s shoulder while keeping her legs tight around his throat. She pops her hidden stun baton out and tap it on the side of Vince’s head.

She sends 9 million volts throughout his body. She watches as he drops like a rag doll. She tightens her thighs around Chuck’s throat till he passes out from lack of air.

When he drops to the floor. She pulls her zip strips out and cuff both men. She sends a text to Hatter and then sends a text to Terry to send help.

Terry:
Terry had gotten the names from Julie and was investigating them. When he received a text from Dakota. Send Spirit for distraction.

Terry knew right away what Dakota meant. She needed Spirit from Wraith to come in and caused a distraction. The drones in the cab weren’t equipped with Spirit’s weaponry. Terry remote logins to Wraith’s weapon systems and launches Spirit to the coordinates from Dakota’s cellphone. The windows on the cab darken so no one could tell what Terry was up too. He brings the camera systems up on the HUD system on the main windshield. He watches as Spirit arrives at the location. It was a warehouse and Dakota’s cell signal were coming from inside.

He sends a ping to Dakota’s cell to let her know Spirit was there.

Dakota gets a ping from Terry.

She responds Attack blue van outside, but don’t kill driver. I need a distraction.

Terry gets Dakota’s response and start firing towards the blue van he had spotted. He fires near the van, but not hitting the van.

Saul was looking towards the warehouse wondering when the three would come out. He didn’t even know why they were here. While he was waiting, he hears gunfire like it was coming from a mini-gun hitting on the other side of his van. He looks out on the passenger side of the van but doesn’t see anything.

Terry causes Spirit to hover right in front of the van, so the driver could see the mini-gun spinning, but not firing. He wanted the driver to see Spirit’s missiles. He shines the laser targeting at him.

Saul hears something spinning and looks out the front windshield. He spots a drone armed with a mini-gun and missiles hovering right in front of him, tagging him with a laser. The mini-gun was spinning as it hovered.

Saul throws the van into reverse as fast as he could. He swings the van around and heads back to the pub where they were supposed to meet up. He hears gunfire as bullets hits his bumper.

Terry was watching as the van almost hit a parked car as it backed up as fast as it could. He watches as the driver turns the van around and was driving away as fast as it could. He targets the rear bumper and fires at it.

He sends a text to Dakota letting her know Spirit was outside.

Dakota had heard the gunfire from Spirit’s mini-gun. She smiles when she reads the text from Terry. She walks towards the front of the warehouse and looks outside towards Spirit.

She texts Terry: Need pick-up for myself and two criminals. Call police to pick criminals up.

Terry just smiles as he recalls spirit back to Wraith. Once Spirit was tucked safely in Wraith, Terry heads over to where Dakota was waiting for him. She had moved from the warehouse. That way she wouldn’t have to answer any questions about Chuck and Vince.

Terry spots Dakota waiting for him. He pulls over, so she could get inside the cab. Once she was inside, he darkens the windows.

“What happened?” Terry pulls away and heads towards the pub where Hatter and the rest of the people were waiting.

“Two guys from the gang thought I would be a good lay for them. Hatter warned me about them.” Dakota couldn’t believe that they would try something like that.

“How about the third guy? Was he part of this plan to rape you?”

“No, he wouldn’t do something like that. He has a wife and two little kids. No, I think he was sent to be just a driver. Did you scare the hell out of him?” Dakota leans back in her seat and tries to calm her nerves.

“Wouldn’t you be scared if you had an attack drone hovering in front of you? Especially, if it is armed with missiles and a spinning mini-gun?” Terry had a smile on his face.

Spirit had to be the best idea she stole from the old sci-fi shows he uses to watch when he was younger. Arming Spirit with weapons and using it as an intimidation tool comes in handy every so often.

“I know I would be. Thanks for coming for me.” She would lean forward to kiss Terry, but the bulletproof shield separating them, prevented it.

Terry was concerned about Dakota and Hatter, but mostly with Dakota. He was slowly falling in love with her. He didn’t think it was going to be possible after what happened to him, but now he was certain. He pulls up outside the pub to let her out.

“Be careful Dakota.” He turns around and lowers the bullet proof shield that separated them.

“You too.” She leans forward and gives Terry a kiss.

She gets out of the cab as Terry raises the shield back up and watches her walk into the pub. As Dakota enters the pub, she looks for Joshua. He would had known what they were going to do to her. She walks right up to him and punches him in his face.

“You son of a bitch. You thought it would be funny to have two of your men try to rape me.” Dakota hits him again in the face.

Joshua was about to pull his gun and shoot Dakota. When a metal playing card lands right in front of him. Then he feels a sharp burning pain as something embeds itself into his left shoulder. He looks up and notices Hatter with a gun pointed at his second. There were several throwing knives in her other hand. The look on her face told him she wasn’t playing and was pissed. The burning sensation in his shoulder was increasing.

“I told you what would happen if you ever cross me again, Joshua. You sent Chuck and Vince after my friend and partner. I honor my promises.” Hatter turns her gun and puts a bullet right between his eyes.

Dakota couldn’t believe what Hatter just did. She knew she took friendship seriously and when she gives her word to do something, she does it. She watches as Hatter looks at the other gang members.

Hatter looks at everyone else in the Pub. She wasn’t in a happy mood and they could see the madness in her eyes.

“Do any of you, have a problem with what I did?” she still had her gun and throwing knives in her hand.

After a few minutes, when no one responded. She puts her gun away and walks over to the bar. She grabs a bottle of Scotch and takes a large swig of it. She turns and faces Dakota.

“I’m going home.” She walks out the back door with bottle in hand.

Dakota watches as she walks out the back door. She turns around and looks at everyone that was still there.

“Don’t even think about coming after us or following us. I will personally shoot you.” Dakota walks out the back door and meets up with Hatter at the van.

“I’ll drive partner.” Dakota hops into the driver seat and drive them home.

Hatter takes several swigs of the Scotch she took. As Dakota drives them home.

I'm beginning....

I'm beginning, to really like Hatter :)

We the willing, led by the unsure. Have been doing so much with so little for so long,
We are now qualified to do anything with nothing.

Me too.

I was going to say the same, I love Hatter, to be honest. Great character, Milady!

The usual problem

Jamie Lee's picture

The tough big men suffered from the same problem as many men do, underestimating the woman they think they're going to rape. As a result, they get their butts kicked before landing in jail. Imagine how their reputations will take a hit when word gets around about how a woman handed them their heads.

But Joshua suffered the most in the failed rape attempted. He suffered Hatter's wrath, Hatter's promise. And no one in that bar thought it wise to take on Hatter or Dakota after Joshua's demise.

There are those who make threats to others to get what they want. Then there are those who don't make threats but promises if things don't happen as they wish. And then there are those who don't have to speak for people to know what happens if they cross that person. And then there are those who are slow learners, learning of their mistake as their life escapes their body.

Others have feelings too.
