Nita opened her eyes to the dead eyes of Petr. His body were right in front of her, covered in mud, dirt and blood. Just beside him. Nikolai were wrestling a man. But Nikolai were loosing the fight, as he was pined down by a man with a knife.
Nita attempted to get up, but were unable due to the fact that the unknown car kept her legs pinned to the ground. And while Nita were busy with moving car, little girl stabed the unknown man with knife in the back. Sudden interruption in this fight allowed Nikolai to pull the pistol from his holster and shoot his apponent twice.
Only then, did sounds of the surroundings reached Nita's conscience. They were somewhere on a dusty road, surrounded by bullets, enemies and screams. It took a whole ten seconds before Nita noticed that Nikolai is traying to say, or rather scream something to her.
Nikolai - Get DOWN!
Nikolai pulled Nita by hand down to the ground. Bullets kept flying all around. The only cover they had that kept them alive, is SUV that went off the road and in to the woods. Woods?
Other than dead bodies, they were surrounded by dead trees, who were towering above their heads. Their withered branches closed the off the sky. All this time new and new bullet holes appeared in dead wood, just as pieces of dirt, metal were flying all around.
Nikolai - Thank the devils... I started to think that you will never wake up!
Nita - What the hell is going on?
Nikolai - I don't know! But we are stuck here! Others are stuck inside or near the truck.
Nikolai pointed his finger futher in to the road. Most of the cars and action is happening down by the hill. Most of fire power of group were there. Boris and Mikhail were cornered, as the truck hit the trees. Someone actually were trying to put the truck back on the road, but with little success. One of Varyag's car were blocking the truck, preventing it from driving away
Girl - They are...
Trembeling voice of little girl reached Nikolai and Nita. She kept looking at the fight, that were resolving around the truck. Things were getting out of hand really fast... if they were ever on hands.
Nita - We need to help the others!
Nikolai - If you didn't noticed! The SUV is the only armored car here! And i am not leaving without cover! It will be a death sentence!
Nita - We need to help them! I Will push SUV back on the road!
Nikolai - Are you actually...
Nita started pushing SUV from off-road back on the road. Nikolai saw how two Varyag man appeared from uphill and swiftly made two shots before the Varyag's were even able to take a proper aim at them.
Nikolai - AHH! Screw it! Push the CAR, i will cover you! Girl, stay right behind me!
Situation down the road were not better. Bulltes flying, fire running, lifeless lying.
Boris trying to stay in cover and only take opportunity shots, with all the shoots surrounding him, there were not a lot.
Kikima crawled her way under cower, behind the car, while pulling injured Danila to the safety. Danila grunted in pain, as his leg were bleeding all over. But banages already were in place.
Kikima - Come one now... Just a little futher!
Boris - Get him over here! Come on Kikima! Faster!
Boris cept looking through iron sight if his rifle and delivering one carefull shoot after another. Someone decided to peek through the gap between the cars, and a well placed shot placed a bloody point on someones life.
Mikhail - We need to get their cars off the road, otherwise we are a sitting ducks here!
With a straight step, Mikhail sent grenade flying. Second later, explosion sent a man flying from behind the cover. Just in line for Boris to take a shot.
Boris - We can't even get out of this corner! We need a damn miracle to do that!
Just in this moment. SUV went through the cars like battering ram and clearing the way out for the truck. Flabergusted Boris and Mikhail stood still without moving for a solid second
Mikhail - Guess this is our damned miracle! Everyone! We are getting out of here!
Kikima, finaly reached safety. Stood up, and grabed Danila. Everyone were taking their seats to get out of there. Truck finaly managed to drive his way on to the road, and start moving. Everyone who were sitting in the truck were still trembeling in fear. And then Mikhail fell to the floor of the truck, desperatly trying breath as much air as he possibly can. Even taking off his gas mask. But he still was grasping for the air.
Irina - Kikima! Something wrong with Mikhail!
Kikima who were trying to calm other people down. Turned around and rushed to Mikhail
At this moment, SUV were clearing path for the truck, in attempt to shake off anyone who kept on chasing them. But sudden road block, changed their plan, forcing to take a sudden turn.
Radio (Boris) - Who is driving SUV
Radio (Nikolai) - Nikolai! Where are we even going?
Radio (Boris) - North-east! I see a underground tunnel! We can try to cut them off!
Radio (Nikolai) - Do we even have enough explosive?
Radio (Boris) - We do, but this is the last box! Better make it count. It should be somewhere in the truck. Someone! Look for a box with explosives!
For a few seconds a radiosilence were kept. Occasionaly someone were trying to take a shoot at Varyag's but attempts were cut short, once the truck and SUV reached tunnel. For a few moments, they could breath easy... Aside from Mikhail
Kikima - Come on, breathe... Relax... It's okay!
Irina - Will he be alright?
Kikima - He is having a panic attack. Not something i can help with without proper medicine! But i will do the most i can, he is an old, but strong man. Maybe he will make it out!
Mikhail - What... *gasp* are... *gasp*... you even... *gasp* talking about?
Kikima - Don't try to talk! Just breathe... Relax...
Boris - Someone! Look for a box with explosives! Should be labeled as such!
Boris voice, from driver seat, reached everyone in the truck. Few seconds of confusion followed, before someone loudly said...
Someone - Found it!
Boris - Alright this is what we will do! We stop for a while. Set up an explosive near one of the collumns, then we will drive away and detonate it, blocking their way! Should be easy, but we gotta do it fast! So here we go!
Truck started shaking a little, when a breaks were hit. SUV stoped to, just in case of the assistance. Boris rushed out of the truck and started setting up an explosives.
Nikolai - Hurry up! They are coming!
Boris - Yeah! It's all set! Come on, let's move
Boris rushed to the truck. Then both the truck and SUV started moving. Boris climbed the truck and turned on the detonator. And only little red button were signaling of impending collapse...
Boris - Have fun with that!
Boris pressed the button... but nothing happened. He pressed it again... But nothing were happening. He kept pressing... But explosives won't set off!
Mikhail - Give me that.
Mikhail grabed the detonator out of Boris hands and jumped out of the truck.
Kikima - Mister Mikhail! Wait... This is dangerous!
Boris - Mikhail you bastard! Get back here!
But Mikhail didn't want to listen. He got up from the ground and started running in the opposite direction. Half way to the explosives, bullet pierced Mikhail leg, but he didn't fall. Limping, he kept going. Then another bullet pierced his chest. Mikhail fell to the ground, still holding detonator in his hand. Explosives were just near. A slight grin appeared on his face.
Mikhail - Choke on this! You bastards!
A single *click* of a button. Little push, and twe tunnel were engulfed in fire. Tunnel collapsed, creating a toomb for a few varyag's cars that were nearby, for everyone inside them, and for Mikhail, who kept grinning even after death...
