73 Cargo Rush (Part 2)

“Bricks!” she shouted. “Nothing!”

“Perhaps, we search inside of the boxes and find something. It may feature some info on finding the Cybertron,” I said, trying to calm down the nervousness that had started to rise within me after what we had just seen.

But then, I heard footsteps speeding towards the room.

My heart began racing with fear as I quickly turned around to see what was going on. I looked back at September with a frown on my face as she turned back around to face me with worry.

“Hide!” she shouted, running for the doorway, which was a little bit too narrow for both of us to fit through at the same time, especially if there was someone coming up towards us from the other end.

We ducked behind these boxes that seemed enlarged, but that was definitely not the case because we couldn’t even fit inside of them anyway. We crouched down, but we were still visible.

Suddenly, the door opened and my heart froze.

Footsteps moved, and I slowly rose my head up so I could see what was going on. A figure came into view in front of me.

He was wearing a black jacket with a blue shirt underneath it. He had long black hair, which seemed to be tied into a ponytail. His skin was a very tan shade of white. He had black eyes as well, but they were almost completely black except for a thin ring of yellow that surrounded the outside edge of each eye. His nose seemed like it was a little bit flat as well as his cheeks seemed to be a little bit chubby but his lips were thin and almost straight, except for a tiny smirk that seemed to be on his face. He wore a pair of black pants, which were ripped on the sides from the bottom of each leg up towards his knees.

.....

“Who in the world is this...” September said.

“Definitely not a person who works here,” I whispered. Suddenly, the sound of three more men echoed through the room.

Now, there were two more men coming in.

Footsteps continued to shift through the room, but one of them stepped on one of our boxes which made it shake as well as make quite a loud noise that startled us as well as made me fall over onto September’s foot. She let out a yelp of pain as well as anger, which only made me fall off of her foot onto the floor.

The men had now stopped at the end of the room.

“Oww!” September hissed.

I nodded in response, which made her let out a sigh of relief and she bent over to help me up.

“Who’s there?!” one of them shouted at us. They were now standing right in front of us with their backs turned to us, as well as facing away from the doorway where September and I were hidden.

I didn’t let a single voice slip from my mouth.

“Hello!” one of them shouted, which made all three of them turn around so they could look at us, but I could tell they were nervous, which made me wonder why they were there in the first place.

“Is it possible there are YMPA agents in here?” one of them asked, as the other answered him.

“That’s impossible!” another one answered him back. “We would’ve been notified immediately!”

I wondered if that was really true.

“Let’s check out this room,” the other guy ordered. “Get to it.” Immediately they began to disperse into different directions so they could look for anything suspicious in the room.

“Hey,” one of them said as he noticed something on one of the boxes that had fallen over as well as stood up again. “Maybe they aren’t here.”

“What do you mean?” the other guy said, as the other one followed. Then the guy that found the box looked back, “Maybe they’ve been here.”

I felt like just laughing out loud right then and there as I thought about the three men that had been standing there so close to us but hadn’t even noticed us hiding in these boxes that had been right in front of their faces this whole entire time!

Luck I tell you, luck.

“Let’s move,” September said as she stood up from me. We both stood back up and began to walk out of the room as we walked away from the other guys, who were now talking among themselves about where we could’ve possibly went wrong.

We were getting closer to the door, second by second, step by step, as we finally got close enough to the exit of the room that we began to hear them talking again.

We were almost out of earshot before they realized we weren’t there anymore, which made me feel relieved.

“Okay, let’s just wait until they come out so we can charge at them,” I suggested, which made both of us laugh out loud.

“Yeah, that’s probably the best idea right now,” September laughed.

Our eyes began to meet, and suddenly we were both laughing harder than ever before.

“What’s going on here?”

We turned around to see someone in a black suit with a black utility belt, with about three other guys behind him. “Oh boy,” September said, which made us stop laughing. “They found us.”

We were both sweating and panting hard when suddenly the men came out of the room. “Get them!” the suit agent ordered, as they all charged at us like calvary.

Quickly, September got out her wand and sped towards them, but they quickly stopped when they saw it coming towards them.

The wand had now started to glow orange and I watched as it started to spin in September’s hands as she swung it downwards towards them. It made a very loud noise when it hit one of the agents in their head and sent him flying through the air and landed onto his back with a thud on the floor before he even got a chance to stand up again.

Then it turned its head towards another agent who was holding a gun that was pointed towards us, but suddenly it turned the gun upwards and fired at him, making him fly upwards as well into the wall behind him where he fell down on top of a large pile of boxes and fell back down to the ground.

Suddenly, someone rushed towards me as fear and adrenaline flowed through my veins. But before he could get to me, I had already reached out towards him with my right arm and punched him right in his nose as he fell onto the floor, making him yelp out in pain. Then I got up and ran over to September who was still swinging her wand around trying to take out all of the agents in front of her so they wouldn’t be able to come after her while she was trying to get out of here as soon as possible.

Suddenly, someone jumped on her from behind her while she was still swinging her wand around in a full circle, which made her trip over and fall on her stomach.

“September!” I shouted, leaping on the man who was on her and grabbing his arms tightly with my left arm as my right hand shot out towards his face. I squeezed his face tightly as I kept it away from hers. He grunted out in pain while I pulled him towards me, making him fall forward onto me and onto the floor. He landed on top of me and I felt him squeeze down onto me tightly, making it harder to breath under his weight as I tried to push him off of me as I grabbed his arm and pinned it against the floor as I pushed my face down into his neck to choke him out and make him let go of his arms around my throat, but he just continued to squeeze down onto me like a vice.

Suddenly, there was a loud explosion behind me and my whole body froze.

Fire and heat seeped through the room, and I heard screaming all around me from people in the room who were now in a state of panic and panic all around me as I couldn’t breathe from the pressure that he had put on me with his arms and shoulders pressed against my chest. My body felt numb, like I had just gone numb, and I couldn’t move my body at all. It felt like I was in a dream and I couldn’t wake up or move my body at all. I struggled with all my might to break free from his grasp but I just couldn’t do anything at all, like it was too painful for me to try anything at all because it hurt too badly.

Then suddenly, everything became quiet, and I could hear someone shouting loudly and running towards me.
