The Citizen Connection

Chapter 4 : Decoy Attack


    "Freeze!"

      Ben stood still. He wasn't risking being shot at. His body was turned at angle in such a way that he couldn't see the person that shouted at him. Sweat began to form on Ben's forehead.


    "Wait-, Kevin ?"


    Ben immediately recognized that name. It was his other name. He is a man of many names and he is also known as Kevin Travenstein. Kevin turned his head. It was his old friend Armedius. 


    "Armedius! What's going on? What's with the attack?" Kevin asked.
    "The rebels are launching a decoy attack!" answered Armedius.
    "Decoy attack? You mean this was all just a distraction?"
    "Yes, the main attack is at the Quartan Administration Office.,"


    Kevin knew what the Quartan Administration Office was. The Quartan Administration Office, or shortened as QuAd Office, is one of the Business District's main administration center. Lots of laws were made there. It also serves as a secret weapon building facility. That ensured that the QuAd Office was well equipped with big guns. Many attacks were launched before this, but all failed. Many lives lost.


    "So, what's the plan this time? H-how are the rebels going to take over the QuAd?" asked Kevin, slightly confused.
    "Simple. I'd tell you but we have to escape now!"

    Armedius tossed a Submachine gun to Kevin. It was an MK 59. Light but with a fast firing rate. Easy to smuggle around. Kevin smiled and reloaded the weapon.

   The two men quickly in search of an escape. It didn't help that the entire facility was a maze. Gunshots could be heard close by. Screams of men alike. Blood spillage everywhere. The rebels were putting up quite a fight.


    Finally, they reached an exit. Good thing it wasn't blocked. They took off quickly. Parked close by was an APC. They hopped in. 


    "What now?" asked Kevin.
    "What? We head to the QuAd Office," answered Armedius.
    "I'll man the guns," said Armedius.


    Armedius. You'll never change. Always looking for the best weapon smiled Kevin. It was time for them to take off. Armedius utilised the Heavy Blaster Cannons. He shot at any visible Citizen Guardians. The CGs were calling in reinfocements. The plan is working. In a moment, another attack will be launched. This time, the QuAd. 


    Helicopters were rushing in the scene. More CGs were being propelled into the battlefield. Some helicopters were equipped with mines. The helis proceeded to drop the load. Explosions occured everywhere. The rebels have to keep on fighting or else the plan will fail.

   Kevin drove the APC avoiding any mines. Some brave CGs even propelled onto the APC itself. Armedius made quick haste to them.
  
   "Kevin, be careful!" shoueted Armedius.
   "Relax, how many times have I done this?" assured Kevin.
   "Hmm, many," laughed Armedius.


    They were headed to their target. Nothing can stop them. Soon, the corrupt government can be brought down.

Chapter 3 : Terror Interrogation


   "Ben Ryder?" continued the Interrogator.
    Ben kept quiet.
    "Playing tough?"
    The Interrogator immediately slammed Ben's head into the steel table. Blood gushed out. Pain seized Ben's mind. 
     "Tell me you useless pile of organs!" shouted the Interrogator.
     "What are you and your rebel friends planning?"
     Ben cursed under his breath.
     "Don't mess with me! Nobody survives when they mess with me," said the Interrogator. He took Ben's left hand and broke a finger. 
      Ben was near his breaking point. But he still said nothing.
      "Say your prayers buddy," muttered the Interrogator. He took out something from his back pocket. It was a laser cutter. Ben stared at it blankly.
      "You know what this is?" The Interrogator turned the device on.
      "It's a laser cutter.Able to slice through flesh and bone," A grim smile formed on his face. Sweat formed on Ben's face. He wasn't sure which part of his body was going to be sliced off. Possibly everything.
      
      Suddenly a rap was heard on the door. It sounded urgent. A Citizen Guardian swooped in quickly.
      "Sir, there's been a breach!"
      "What?"
      "Section Z-17! Rebel troops are pouring in!"
      The Interrogator was hesitant to leave his victim but he did it anyway. He had some killing to do. The Guardian followed suit.


       Ben sighed in relief. Now he can plan his escape. His hands were cuffed and he needed to escape. Rebels are battling Citizen Guardians. The perfect time to disappear. His hands were cuffed with a Level 2 cuff. Normally, he should be handcuffed with a Level 1 cuff. The CGs must've guessed that he was a rebel. It's a good thing he was trained for situations like this. In a split second the cuffs were off. Time to run.


     The Interrogator left his laser cutter on the table. Ben pocketed it and left the room. The building was essentially a huge maze. It kept people in and unwanted attention out. Ben looked left and right for any signs of guards. None were seen. All the Citizen Guards were too busy dealing with the threat. Ben rushed into anywhere that seemed like an exit. But anywhere he turned more rooms seemed to be in sight.


     Just as Ben reached another room that seemed like an exit. He saw somebody.
     "Freeze!"
