They could move outside and even though they had to run under a blazing sun the scrub that had been used to hide this sector of the base could also shield them from easy view. Barefoot Laura ran across the hoy ground barely feeling it due to the calluses built on her feet by her profession. Then there was her endurance and dexterity as she set a heavy pace knowing they had moments to put distance between themselves and the former location of their torment. What she and the others didn’t know was that there were guards hidden out here in the undergrowth; well that is till she literally ran into one of the men as he was trying to stand and turn from a low blind. The two of them went tumbling to the sand in a cloud of dust. Laura felt the weight of the blow even numbed a little, the man recovered quicker and was raising it to fire when she used an underhand throw to return his tactical knife it what her Uncle Juan a knife thrower would have called a barnyard throw; only good around hicks. Laura didn’t care it wasn’t a bullseye because it was still so shockingly painful lodged under his left collar bone causing him to drop his weapon one of those black guns popular with the european military. Laura knew very little about guns but she did know they had safeties and double safeties and she was sure he’d helped her with finding the bolt an cocked it for her. Using the butt she struck him 3 or 7 times in the head before she was sure he wouldn’t attack her so she could search him the first thing she took was his wallet pleased to see it held cards and cash. So when Augie caught up she asked [color=gold] Do you want this machine gun thingy?[/color] she asked wearing his cover and goggles and his sidearm a glock.
