Crashed
A Marksmen's Dream
I woke up to silence in the room I was in and I opened my eyes to the dim light of he sun coming through the window. I looked up and seen Shadows grabbing some clothes from his closet and then putting them on. He closed the door to the closet and I closed my eyes back so he would suspect that I was watching him. I heard the door open and close again gently so I opened my eyes back up and I was alone. I laid there staring up at the ceiling and remembering my early morning talk with Vengeance. Maybe my mom and dad were prepared for something like this to happen but what I don't understand is why they just didn't have me prepared for all of this? Maybe all this teaching me how to fight and shoot a gun with accuracy was my father's way of telling me something like this was going to happen and I just didn't pay any attention or didn't think about it at the time. It's funny how you start thinking about things and situations when someone you love is gone. I looked over towards the door as it opened and Shadows walked in.
"Oh good you're awake. I've instructed Syn to have you and him do some fighting and shooting so we can get ready for tonight." I just nodded and looked back up at the ceiling. I felt the bed sink down beside me and I looked over seeing Shads had sat down.
"Is there something wrong?"
"No...I'll be down in a minute." I said shaking my head and sitting up in bed.
"Oh..alright well I already have some clothes for you in my bathroom so help yourself." I nodded and he got up and left the room shutting the door behind him. I swung my feet over the side of the bed and stood to my feet and going into the open bathroom.
I shut the door behind me locking it as well. Shadows did have my clothes there along with some towels and a wash cloth for me. I walked over to the water letting it heat up. I stripped down to nothing and looked at the scars that riddled my body from what Jacoby's men did to me. I rubbed over them with my hand and they were so rough. I shook my head and got into the shower and started bathing. The hot water ran over my back easing the tension I had building up and I needed to keep some of it so I would be on my toes tonight when I take out the men who hurt me but Jacoby is going to stay alive...He's going to wish he never took my parents lives. I will make him feel the pain they they must have felt when he killed them...He's going to get the torture he gave me. He will feel the pain I've built up over the time my mother died, my father's murder, and to when they set me on fire.
The water turned cold and it shook the thoughts from me as I turned off the water and grabbed a towel for my head. I rung out most of the water from my hair and wrapped the towel around my head. I grabbed the other one wrapping it securely around my battered body and stepped out of the shower. I dried myself off before slipping into the clothes Shads had put in here for me. I folded up the damp towel I used to dry my body with and put it on the side of the tub so it could dry out. I grabbed my pajamas and left he bathroom and then Shadows room and going down the hall and into my own room. Glass still covered the floor near the window along with the bullet casings. Bullet holes were riddled in the room and I knew it would take some hard work to get all of this fixed up and back to normal. I threw my clothes into the hamper and slipped on my converse before leaving my room.
I didn't care if someone seen my head wrapped up in a towel. I need to get into a mode my father taught me when he was...alive. I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen where Syn, Vengeance, and Christ were eating at teh table. I went over to the bar where all the food was laid out and filled up my plate before sitting down at the table with them not saying a word. I heard their forks hitting the plates as I ate quietly and when I was finished I picked up my plate and put it into the sink. I left the kitchen and went back upstairs and into my room leaving the door open. I took the towel from my head and threw it into a laundry basket that sat beside the dresser. I ran my brush threw my head of hair until all the tangled knots were gone. I turned around and Syn was standing in the doorway.
"Waiting on me?" I asked setting down my brush.
"Yeah. Shads wants you to get enough shooting in today so we don't have any mistakes."
"Alright let's get to it." I said leaving the room and passing by him. He caught up with my pace and we went into the room where the cage was and I knew I was going to have to fight. 6 men stood in the cage waiting for me to enter. I stepped in and Syn shut the door behind me and locked it. I turned my neck from side to side popping it several times and then cracking my knuckles.
I started thinking about Jacoby and his men when I was being hurt by them. I focused all that anger towards them onto the people but not killing them. I would save the killing spree for when we go over there tonight. It didn't take long for all of the men to be laying on their back and grabbing certain parts of their bodies that I had kicked or punched. Syn unlocked the cage and took me to the indoor firing range and I used some of the focus to make the paper targets look like the men that would be trying to stop us from getting to Jacoby. Every target Syn had me shooting at, I hit with deadly percision. Each kill shot was either through the heart or right between the eyes. None of my shots were off.
"You still do so great! You're father was one great teacher."
"Yeah...he was." I said laying the weapon down on the metal table.
"Is there something wrong Jay?"
"No...I just want Jacoby so bad...and I was thinking about what our strategy is about getting onto their property." I said loading another weapon.
"We're going to just go in and shoot. You and Shadows will be taking out the people inside the house who try and kill you and then getting Jacoby."
"I have a better idea...My dad has some weaponary at the house in a secret place only him and I know about." I said handing the AK 47 to Syn.
"What kind of weaponary?"
"Explosives like Claymours, grenades, dynamite, IEDs stuff like that." I said and he sat the weapon down.
"Are there any amunition?"
"Plenty." I said nodding.
"We'll continue shooting in a few minutes. I think Shads should hear your plan. He might think it's better." I nodded and followed him out of the room and through the house. We climbed the stairs and Syn knocked on the door before going into the room where he sat down at his desk talking to David, Corey, and Tuck. They all went silent as we came into the room and Shadows stood up from is desk.
"We were watching you shoot and fight and I have to say that was somethng of extraordinary talents."
"Thank you Corey." I said smiling.
"What are you 2 doing here anyways? Gates, I thought I had you practicing more?"
"Well Jay wanted to know our plan of attack so I told her but she says she has a better plan and she thinks you ought to hear it." Shadows looked over at me and nodded for me to speak.
"Alright...well my dad always taught me to never go into something unprepared...so I thought maybe we could take some explosives with us." I said shrugging.
"We don't have explosives."
"I know where we can get some."I said smiling.
"Where?"
"My dad never wanted me to be unprepared in case something major was to happen and I was being threatened so he stocked up on some in a secret place where only he and I know about." I said slipping my hands into the pockets of my jeans.
"What does he have?"
"He has every explosive you can think of along with several weapons that I had used personally and some amuntion. There's Claymours, IEDs, grenades, dynamite rigged to be thrown and to go off once it touches something hard." I explained. All the people in the room except Syn and me had looks of shock riddled on their faces.
"Syn, round up some men and take Jimmy and Vengeance with you to Jay's house. Bring back anything we can use tonight and get back here on the double." Syn nodded and we left his office shutting the door as we did. I waited by the door for Syn and Vengeance and when they appeared we left the house and men were already waiting next to the cars.
I got into the passenger side of the car and Syn drove off the property and going to my home. Syn pulled into the driveway of my house that I hadn't seen for so long. We all got out of the car and the guards surrounded the house as Jimmy, Vengeance, Syn and I went into the house. It still looked the same and I looked down at the floor where my father had laid in a pool of his blood. The blood stain was still there. I stepped over it and led them over to a Mirror. I pushed on it gently and the mirror shot up and opened to a steal door. I pushed in a password quickly and the door parted and I stepped inside. The room was filled with several long and large tables that had weapons on them along with the walls.
"Grab all this stuff and get it back out to the car." Syn ordered and I went over to the picture of my mother that hung there and I pulled it and it revealed a single button. I pushed it and the wall opened up and I stepped in. All my weapons plus the explosives were in this room. I picked up an empty box and started putting the explosives into the box until all of them were in there. I sealed the box and took it out of the room. I saw that all the guns were taken out of the room and I sat the box down on a empty table near Syn.
"These are all the explosives you'll need but I have a few more weapons in there to get out." I said and Syn ordered Vengeance to take the box out to the car and he did so. I walked back into the room where I looked at the amazement in both Jimmy and Syn's face.
"What?" I asked almost wanting to laugh.
"This is like a marksman's paradise!"
"What are all of these?" Syn asked and I picked up the first one and my favorite of all my weapons.
"This is a Thompson .45 Caliber Sub-Machine gun." Every gun they pointed out, I could tell them what it was and how many rounds it could hold.
I had a Mini UZI with 32 round magazine shown with shoulder rest, Mini UZI with 25 & 32 round mags, Browning .50 caliber machine gun, Barrett 82A 50 cal Semi Auto rifle, ALFA 44 with 100-round metal-link belt, Yugoslavian AK-47 Rifle, M70AB2 with underfolder stock, Springfield Armory M1A M21 Tactical semi auto rifle, 308, with SA mount, Springfield Armory M1A M21 Tactical semi auto rifle, 308, with Arms/Swan mount, 1877 Lightning Colt Revolver .38 caliber double action, Berette M9 9mm semi-auto handgun, Berette PX4 Storm, Glock 17 9mm, 44 Magnum Ruger Super Blackhawk, Ruger MK3 22/45, Rugar SR22P-CT Semi-Auto handgun with Crimson Trace Laser, WW2 Nazi P38 9mm Semi-auto pistol, Remington 3200 12 Gauge shotgun, Remington 870 Magnum 12 Gauge pump action, Winchester Model 101 Over-Under 12 Gauge Shotgun, Winchester Super X Pump Action Shotgun, Parker Trojan Side-by-Side 12Ga Double Barrel Shotgun, and my favorite the .44 Magnum Colt Anaconda.
I put the .44 Magnum colt Anaconda into the back of my jeans and helped the guys unload all the weapons into the car outside. I seen all the guns and amuntion that sat in the very back of the pick-up truck and noticed that I forgot some more crucial weapons that I use all the time. Vengeance and Syn brought the last of the guns out of the house and placed them into the truck.
"There's a few more things I would like to get while we are here." I said and Syn led me back into the house. I had him follow me up the stairs and into my old bedroom. I pulled open the closet and pulled a box down from the self and handed it to Syn. He started to open the box but I slapped his hand.
"Don't look in there. That's personal stuff." I said glaring at him. He backed up and put the box down on my bed. I shook my head and put in another code on the wall behind a shoe box and the wall parted again into another room. I went in with Syn right behind me.
"Wow." I looked at him.
"This is just my hand to hand combat weapons. I only use them when I have enough time to get up here and get to them." I said shrugging and picking up the Nunchucks and slipping them into the belt loops of my jeans. I handed Syn a Bill, which is a polearm with a wide cutting blade occasionally with spikes and hooks, Dagger, Flail, Mace (not the pepper spray haha!), and a Warhammer. I left the small room and pushed the button and it closed. I put the shoe box back where no one could discover it. We left the closet and I picked up my box of secret things. Syn left the room first but I stayed and grabbed a picture from my dresser of mom and dad when they got married and they were holding me. I put it on top of the box and met up with Syn at the bottom of the stairs.
"Where the hell did you get this shit Syn?" Jimmy asked taking some of it from Syn and putting it into the back of the truck.
"These came from Jay's room."
"I love living in that house but...if someone finds out about all of those secret rooms, they'll use it and I won't that." I said shaking my head and putting the box and picture into the car.
"What do you suggest we do?"
"Have everyone in their cars and go a little ways away from the house. Syn you stay behind with me and have that damn motor running." I said leaving the car door open and going over to the house where the outside light was. I heard all the engines roar to life and some of the cars left and it only left Syn's car. I pulled down the lantern and pushed a button hearing the beep. I ran and got into the car and told Syn to get the hell out of here. He sped down the driveway as I shut the door and I looked in the mirror as the house I've lived in all my life explode.
"How the hell did you manage that one?"
"Dad had the place rigged with C4 just in case." I said smirking as he continued to drive towards home. We pulled up to the mansion where Shadows was standing on the porch with a cigarette between his lips. We stopped in front of the mansion right behind the truck. We got out and Shadows came off of the porch and looked into the back of the truck and I could see the look of amazement on his face.
"Your father sure was prepared."
"It made me feel safe." I said smiling and taking my box of secrets into the house. I went up to my room and closed the door behind me setting the box gently down on my bed. All the things we collected from my house today will come in good use when we attack those bastards tonight.
"Oh good you're awake. I've instructed Syn to have you and him do some fighting and shooting so we can get ready for tonight." I just nodded and looked back up at the ceiling. I felt the bed sink down beside me and I looked over seeing Shads had sat down.
"Is there something wrong?"
"No...I'll be down in a minute." I said shaking my head and sitting up in bed.
"Oh..alright well I already have some clothes for you in my bathroom so help yourself." I nodded and he got up and left the room shutting the door behind him. I swung my feet over the side of the bed and stood to my feet and going into the open bathroom.
I shut the door behind me locking it as well. Shadows did have my clothes there along with some towels and a wash cloth for me. I walked over to the water letting it heat up.

I read the first chapter and i thought the same, this sounds exactly like 23. I'm not reading the rest. Anyone that wants to read the original should look up 23 and the sequel 24. Can't tell me they don't sound similar.
