*clack*

" who are you "

karma stood in front of the person and asked the question. 

" please... help me... please.. don't do this to me "

*sup*

" who are you, and why have they taken you as a hostage "

karma pulls out the mask, and begin questioning him. 

" my name is 'jen', and... and I don't know why I am here, you... I heard an explosion and gun shots just now, was it...was it you "

" so you don't even have an idea as to why you are here? "

" trust me... I really don't know, I swear "

" ok jen, tell me about yourself "

" yes, I.. I live in America, and I was here on a job, I was hired by some people to be a tour guide, and cause I lived in India before, I thought that i can guide them around, I... I didn't knew that these people where terrorist, and... and I was captured by the police and they were taking me home, when...when these people came and attacked the police and brought me here.... please save me...help me... please "

up until everything that had happened, all the incident that karma encountered, everything was making sense to him now. 

" ok, I now know for sure that those people knew about the item in the mountain before us " 

( if that's the case why would they need a guide when they know the exact location ) 

" it might be for another distraction "

( how so? ) 

" someone, who giving these people order from above, probably wants to use these guys as bait, so if there first plan fails, which is to use my father, they will use these guys to distract the authorities attention "

( how would they do that? ) 

" that i dont know yet for sure, it can be that the person or the organization giving them orders might throw them under the bus, or something "

" amm.. excuse me...but who are you talking to "

" ah.. no one, it's a habit of mine, don't worry "

In tension karma forgot that he is the only one who can hear agastha. 

(so..what are you gonna do now, I say we leave him here or kill him, he's seen too much ) 

" but... he's just a bystander that got caught up in this whole mess, he has his family too, I want to help him "

( karma, I won't say anything about if helping others in need is a good thing or not, but I would suggest to mind our own business, excessive goodwill isn't always a good thing ) 

" don't worry, I'm just helping someone in need, and who knows, I might be in the front page of newspaper as a hero or something "

( do whatever you want ) 

*snap*....*snap*

" you are quite strong "

karma breaks the chains jen was locked in with his bare hands, this shocked jen quite a bit. 

" it's nothing, these chains are quite weak to being with, let's go now "

" hmm, here take this, you might need it "

karma takes a gun from one of the dead bodies from before and hands it to jen. 

" oh.. ok... thank you "

taking jen karma went upstairs, to look for his parents, but was encountered with the other members. 

*bang*bang*bang*

as he was about to leave, bullets were fired towards him from the outside. 

*dodge*

karma saw the people on the entrance of the building pointing gun's towards him, and with his quick thinking took cover with jen. 

*bang*bang*bang*

( there are three of them, I don't see one of the person from before though ) 

" that must've been the boss here, seems like he didn't came, so we'll have to go to him "

" jen, on count of three, run behind that box there, and when I give you signal, start shooting "

" o..ok "

" one, two, three!! "

as karma had said, jen ran towards that box and took cover behind it, and when he did the gun shots followed him, and with that opportunity karma ran towards the other side. 

*bang*bang*bang*bang*

while running karma shot two of the three guys, and took them down. 

" argh, you bastard "

the guy after getting his two friends taken down was furious, and ran towards karma. 

" jen, now "

with karma's signal jen begin shooting blindly. 

" AAAAHHH!!! "

one of the bullets grazed the guy's hand and the gun fell from his hand, but because of the continuous gunfire, he could not pick up his gun and just rushed towards karma. 

" f*ck you bastard "

*sigh*

" rushing towards me without a weapon is your mistake "

because of the continuous training agastha had put karma through, karma was no longer weak. 

*grabs*

karma deflected the punch coming from the guy and grabbed his face with his hand. 

" you messed with the wrong person "

" ARGHAAAA!!! "

karma grabbed his face and got the guy on his knees. 

" jen, now "

*bang*bang*

jen from behind shot the guy down. 

" good job "

" yes.. thank you, ahm.. you seem pretty strong for a kid "

" yeah, I may look like this but I'm from police, and I practice a lot "

( liar ) 

jen was looking at the young man with inspiration in his eyes. 

" ahem ahem, well... don't relax just now, there's still three more left "

" how do you know "

" I interrogated one of them and he was kind enough to tell me "

" so where do we go now "

" first we have to save two more hostages then- "

" well well well, look who survived, a little boy who now wants to be a hero "

the boss came with his last two men and confronted karma. 

" is the hero here to save his mommie and daddy "

*clack*clack*

karma points his gun at the man but the magazine were empty. 

( karma, be careful, something's wrong about him ) 

" don't worry I got this, let's finish this "

" oh no, you are not going anywhere, I don't know how did you survive that, but you were unfortunate to meet me like this, boys, finish him "

the two men points their gun's on karma. 

*bang*bang*bang*
