Eric #16
“Sorry, it took me a while to find some good opening.”
Eric nodded in agreement, too tired to even say a sentence.
“Can you walk?”
Eric breath started to calm down a little bit.
“Maybe, I can definitely stagger. Will he live?”
Eric swung his arm in the direction of the fallen agent.
Gabriel shrugged his shoulders.
“Probably, I didn´t hit anything vital, so...should I finish him off?”
The tired fighter shook his head in disagreement, as he was slowly getting up on his feet.
“There is no need to. Sooner or later, we would become wanted anyway and honestly, I don´t care if that Marine will have any problems because of that faked execution.
"
Gabriel shrugged once again, after which he pulled his weapon from the agent´s shoulder and started to clean up its blade on his pink shirt.
“So, shall we?”
He pointed towards the city gates.
“Yeah”
Eric started to stagger in that direction.
“You know, we will probably have to fight our way to our ship.”
“I don´t think so.”
“Why?”
Eric sighted.
“That swordsman from the restaurant, he was quite strong. I doubt that the huge marine was able to beat him so, most of their men are probably looking for him in the city right now. Plus the two at the gate probably have some kind of special instruction from that agent.”
His friend didn´t look really convinced, but for the time being, he stayed quite.
This time, it took them almost double the time to reach the city gate, as Eric had still hard time keeping himself at his feet. When the two marine officers spotted them, they quickly left their position, and started to run in their direction.
“Quickly, Gabriel yelled at them. The suspect was resisting arrest. My colleague was badly hurt and need medical assistance”
He nodded towards Eric, who at the moment was leaned on his shoulder and was trying his best to look “badly hurt”. Well in his current condition, it wasn´t so hard.
“Our commander, stayed with the suspect, but he may need yours help!”
The marines silently nodded in uniso and changed direction of their run towards the wood, where Eric and the agent fought.
“What the…?”
Eric was left speechless
“Well...”
Gabriel smirked
“I was thinking what could the agent say to the marines, that they let us pass so easily. Obviously, he wouldn´t tell them, that I am guy who was executed week ago, and you are ex convict, whose his agency wants to recruit, so...I tried the most plausible explanation and I was lucky.”
“Hmmmm, but you know, that we are busted in the moment, they´ll find him, right?”
Gabriel slightly bit his lip.
“Yeah, we should probably hurry”.
They started running. Well...Gabriel was running, while Eric was limping really quickly. Marines sounded the alarm, just when they got aboard of their ship. When the first patrol got to the port, they were just a small dot on the horizon.
