Siren Song 117 A Forced Fracturing Iii

Chang gripped a knife in each hand eagerly awaiting a kneecap, keeping her breathing shallow and quiet. She heard the sound of two men's boots on the tile floor, walking cautiously and quietly. The man on her left approached first and she stuck the long steak knife in the soft spot in his knee above where his thick boots protected him.

The man cried out reaching for the blade that now stuck out of him. Chang grabbed the st.u.r.dy metal beside her and bludgeoned the man in the head with it as he bent over. Even with his protective helmet the hit dropped him cold.

'K-Chk' "Drop your weapons woman." The other man c.o.c.ked his rifle at her after she announced her presence.

's.h.i.+t I wasn't fast enough, I thought I could take them both out quick enough.'

Chang dropped the pan sending a resound pang through the room.

"Turn around and put your hands over your head."

'Dammit this isn't good.' Chang further complied not wis.h.i.+ng to argue with the man's loaded gun. As she turned she saw Dinara peeking her fleshy worried face around the corner. 'Well well, it might not be hopeless. I just gotta distract this guy somehow. Hmm.'

Chang stepped on the long hem of her dress falling in an untidy heap. Her hands helping to catch her fall and tuck a knife into her sleeve.

"Get up now, you're coming with me you are going to lead me to a couple people." The man came and stood over her gesturing with the muzzle of his gun.

"Rahhhh!" Dinara ran at the man in a full charge launching her body weight into his. The man staggered only slightly letting her hit the ground with an oomph!

"d.a.m.n you b.i.t.c.hes!" The man cursed as he steadied himself. Chang used her leverage to level a serious heel kick to the man's family jewels before grabbing her wok and knocking him cold like his partner.

"Ow! We make a good team! Thank you Dinara, I'm glad you came back!" Chang exclaimed joyfully while helping the fair haired woman off the floor.

"I couldn't just leave you there like those chicken hearts..Let's not do that again though, we should go to effendi al-Ha.s.san's chambers with everyone else, it will be the safest place at this point.!"

Chang relented and made her way with Dinara to the second floor where Hakim al-Ha.s.san's chambers were. She took with her the wok, as well as the men's guns, even if she didn't know how to work them, it felt better knowing they didn't have them.

LiHua sat in the wheelchair she had become bound to besides Hakim al-Ha.s.san and Hao Jin Ying, rubbing her hands nervously. Miray, Halene and Leila stood in a far corner together, the latter two wearing guilty looks when they saw her enter with Dinara.

"Xiao Xie!" Her mother called worriedly as Chang quickly strode up to them.

"I'm fine Mom, don't worry! Grandpa Hakim is it OK if we make a bit of a mess of your room there's some bad men outside that might want to come in. Also I took these off a couple of men downstairs, but I don't know how to use them." Chang handed one of the guns to Hakim al-Ha.s.san.

"I can show you if you would be willing to use it." Hakim al- Ha.s.san viewed her with a new light looking at the gun in her hands. "Do you think you could kill someone."

Chang looked at her mom and her friends. "I guess if I really really had to."

"You just might have to, here I'll show you."

"Thank you, but first we should try to block the door, I would rather prevent them from coming in before shooting."

Chang put the other gun she held under her arm and her wok on the ground and walked to the group of girls.

"Thank you for helping my mom. Will you help me again?" Chang smiled and the three nodded, two with sheepish smiles. "Alright, let's get cracking!"
