Flowerpot

Drabble: 31

Saya looked through the binoculars at the warehouse doors where a pair of men stood guard before she put in the call to Regina. Aegon and Saeko crouched nearby waiting for the signal.

"Regina, we're at Jack's last known location right now," Saya said and within a few seconds Regina reponded with, "Good. Now remember, Jack works pretty closely with Scavs and he has a strong tendency to target women. Any women you find still alive, you'll get a bonus for each one. And if he sees you and Saeko, he'll be gunning for you both!" she warned.

"Understood, Regina. We'll be careful," Saya replied before hanging up. Looking at Saeko and Aegon, she nodded at them. Saeko drew her katana and Aegon drew his pistol. Keeping to the shadows, Saeko stealthily crept around to the corner of the Warehouse where the first guard couldn't see her. Aegon crept around to the other side, screwing on a silencer onto the barrel of his pistol. Aegon lined up the sights of his gun onto the head of the guard and squeezed the trigger. The jacketed hollow point bullet tore a gaping chunk out of the Scav's head killing him instantly and Saeko leapt out from behind the corner and her katana severed the head of the other Scav.

Saya walked out from her hiding spot and looked at the door and began to scan it for any security measures. After scanning it, Saya nodded at Saeko and Aegon; it was clean. Holstering his pistol, Aegon pulled out lockpick and inserted the end into the lock. After about a minute, the lock clicked open and Aegon slowly slid the door open.

Silent as a breeze.

Pulling Blackfyre out this time, Aegon and Saeko entered first with Saya bringing up the rear. It was a nightmare within the warehouse. Severed bodyparts, cyberware limbs and organs were stacked in boxes and containers. No doubt to be shipped off and sold to the highest bidders. Aegon gritted his teeth, feeling anger boil inside him as he walked through the aisles of the warehouse. Slowing down, Aegon peered around some shelving and found some Scavs drinking potent booze and in a cage nearby were some women who whimpered fearfully.

Aegon looked at Saeko and jerked his head. Saeko then pulled out a flashbang grenade from her belt, pulled the pin, cooking it in her hand for a moment before tossing it. The metal cylinder landed near the Scavs who noticed it before it exploded in a shower of bright white light and noise. Yells and screams broke out but Aegon and Saeko moved in, their blades gleaming in anticipation of bloodshed.

Slashing his sword through the chest of a Scav, Aegon spun around and beheaded another. Saeko moved like a wraith among the Scavs, her Dimeterium forged katana severing limbs and heads in sprays of crimson. A Scav who managed to recover tried to pull out a knife and stab Saeko from behind, but a bullet found itself lodged in the back of his knee, making him scream and fall to the floor clutching his wounded leg in agony.

Aegon wiped the blade of his sword clean before sheathing it and pulled his pistol and aimed at the Scav. "Where's Jack?" he asked the Scav tersely. "And speak English, we know you can," he advised.

"I'm not talking!" the Scav spat through clenched teeth. Aegon then aimed his gun at the Scav's other leg and fired a shot, making the man howl in pain.

"I know a great many points on the body that I can shoot and still keep you alive, so either tell us where Jack is or I start shooting some more!" Aegon threatened.

"Alright, alright!" the Scav said. "You go down to the local pharmacy, buy some viagra and it'll help you go fuck yourselves!" he taunted.

Saeko then took this moment to slam the heel of her boot into the Scav's groin, crushing his manhood. The Scav gave a silent open-mouthed scream of agony as he now clutched his wounded manhood.

"You know the definition of insanity?" Saeko asked the man in a chilling voice. "It's where you do the exact same thing every day, expecting shit to change," she informed him. "Which is why my friends and I have more than one tactic to get you talking," she added.

"You'd best listen to her, Scav," Aegon then said to the Scav. "You're only seeing her nice side so far," he added casually.

"Okay! I give up!" the Scav whined pathetically. "Jack's downstairs in his operating room," he said.

"Thanks, now was that so hard?" Aegon smiled before shooting the Scav in the head. Looking at Saya, Aegon said to her, "Call Regina. Tell her to get Trauma down here. These girls need some patching up."

"Got it," Saya responded. "What will you be doing?" she asked as she and Saeko moved to unlock the cages.

"I'm gonna go have a chat swith Jack 'The Ripper'," Aegon said casually as he then headed down the stairs to the lower levels.
