"Running Faster Than Ever Before"
Written by DOCTORWHOFAN77
A set of three identical four by fours were parked outside a seemingly small flat in central London. Each four by four had the Anomaly Research Centre logo on it, and had four seats. A lot of cars wouldn’t seem amiss in London, but as they were identical it didn’t go unnoticed, or so that was what Claudia thought as she saw a Metropolitan Police car passing outside for the third time through the narrow gap in her flat’s curtains. Connor and Mia were set up at the table, fiddling about with the laptop and the rest of the team were either sitting down board or watching a window.
“Any news team?” Cutter asked, already having said those words far too often.
“A blue van has just parked up opposite the house Cutter. Looks suspicious.” Abby called.
“Same, there’s a Police car out front.” Claudia yelled.
“Connor, start packing up.” Cutter ordered.
“Sure thing professor!”
Connor unplugged his laptop from a socket in the wall and gave his Wife a half-hearted kiss on the cheek.
“We’ll be fine.”
“Cutter!!” Claudia bellowed, a tone of fright in her voice.
Cutter leaped over the wooden table and ran to Claudia.
“What’s up?” He demanded.
But she didn’t need to answer, he could see for himself through the gap. Armed police officers were beginning to leave the blue van and were approaching the house, weapons ready.
“Danny, Abby, you’re with me. The others, go out the back way”
Cutter reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a Glock pistol, cocking it and shoving a magazine into it. Danny reached under the sofa and pulled out an assault rifle, switching it to “ Automatic” and grabbing a handful of clips. Abby drew a different type of pistol and loaded it.
“With me.” Cutter said.
He bounded down the stairs and with a strong, swift movement kicked the door open.
The others were in a cold and grubby back alley, with a fairly sizeable road leading from it. Jess shivered and hugged her shoulders.
“It’s cold!” She shrieked.
It was true, a chilly breeze had hit the group and all of them had felt it. Harriet was okay as she had a warm leather jacket on, but the rest were in t-shirts, shorts or trousers. Connor lay the laptop down on the floor and took off his jacket, wrapping it around Mia’s cold shoulders. She smiled and kissed him on the nose.
“I love you.” She said.
“Come on Cutter.” Claudia said to herself.
She turned and smiled at the group when the bullets began.
“Get down!” Danny yelled, a spray of bullets flying into the cars.
“Put the weapons down!” An armed police officer yelled before ordering his men to fire another barrage.
Danny leant out from cover and fired a few shots, one hitting an officer who went crumpling with a cry, but Danny made sure he would only shoot them in the leg.
“Cutter, Abby take two cars to the back.” He said.
At once the two hopped in their cars and started them up, ignoring the constant spray of bullets coming at them.
“Go now!” Danny yelled.
Cutter and Abby sped off in their battered vehicles, stopping to pick up the team.
“They’re here!” Jenny yelled.
Cutter opened the passenger door and Claudia got in as Jenny and Sarah got in the back. Mia, Connor and Harriet got in with Abby.
“What about Danny?” Abby yelled.
“We need to go now!” Connor replied. “ There’s an anomaly.”
Suddenly Danny arrived behind them in his car, window open and he yelled:
“MOVE!!”
At once the cars sped off down the motorway, leaving a mess of confused armed police in their wake. The sergeant swore and grabbed his Radio.
“Get James Lester here now!” He spat down it.
“Where to?” Cutter asked.
“The old ARC.” Abby replied. “ It’s shutdown but I know a way in.”
“Okay.”
The Convoy sped off, not noticing the unmarked Police vehicles following them. One of the officers grabbed his radio.
“We know where they are going. Tell them now.” The officer said with a sly smirk.
Oh, what they had in store for the ARC team!
James Lester and Captain Mitchell arrived at the crime scene later on in the day, to be greeted with a fuming Sergeant.
“Your people opened fire on us!” He yelled angrily.
“They didn’t kill your men, just wounded them.” Mitchell pointed out.
“You better hope I don’t catch them.” He spat, and marched off.
As the pair turned they found Army Officers with Pistols aimed at them, and a truck behind them.
“Come with us. The Minister wants a chat.”
And as they drove off the men cocked their guns.
“Any news team?” Cutter asked, already having said those words far too often.
