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 sturdy 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 cocked his rifle at her after she announced her presence .
'Shit I wasn't fast enough, I thought I could take them both out quick enough . '
AdvertisementChang 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 wishing 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!
"Damn you bitches!" 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-Hassan'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-Hassan'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-Hassan 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-Hassan .
"I can show you if you would be willing to use it . " Hakim al- Hassan 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!"
