Chapter 31: Getting stronger
"SNIPER!!"
Henrick screams as the bullet ricochets off of Tony’s head, the cop having transformed into metal fast enough. "Ah Fuck!!" the metal man screams as a noticeable dent is put on the side of his head.
The group of 4 vehicles then stop, their drivers startled at the explosive sound of a sniper gun. A group of 3 armed men then step out from the surrounding buildings, a menacing gleam in their eyes as they direct guns towards the cop vehicles.
"Ooh we’ve got a good haul! All these people in the cars gotta have some good shit." says a man with pink coloured hair and reptilian like features.
"What’s happening?!"
"Oh my god, we’re going to die!!"
"They’ll let us go if we give them everything right??"
The panicked whispers of the civilians reaches Henrick’s ears, prompting him to stand fully and step towards the armed men. The attackers suddenly point their weapons towards the imposing man, having almost forgotten about him in their glee.
"Woah big fella. Get on the ground, ass up, and maybe we won’t kill ya." mockingly says a man of African-American descent, his gun aimed directly at Henrick’s chest.
The last member of the group, a man with a severe face and a scar running down his jaw, just chuckles and suddenly shoots his desert eagle at the soldier’s head.
BAAAAANG!
Henrick sees the entire process in slow motion. He sees the muscles on the scarred man’s forearms tensing as he pulls the trigger, and the muzzle flash appearing as the bullet rapidly rotates out of the barrel.
