《Lucid Dream》Chapter 3: Famous people have famous people problem
Advertisement
As I was crossing an intersection, a truck ignored the red light and ran straight into my car, flipping it over. Out of nowhere, 4 black sedans blocked off the intersection and fully armed men streamed out of them. It was at this moment I knew shit just hit the fan.
Sitting in the overturned car, I pondered about life, the world, the universe and ultimately why the fuck someone tried to kill me twice in a single day as I watched them set up position around me. To be honest, I felt it was a bit overkill for a single guy.
Let see, uncle usually had some hot stuffs in his car. I reached for the compartment and found a fully loaded Glock 18, 2 mags, a military knife, and a retractable baton. This will do.
I counted 16 men, 4 were keeping watch at the rear, 1 was slowly closing in on me and the rest were pointing their muzzle at me cautiously behind cover. Damn, it looked like they knew what happened at the parking lot. I decided that I had seen enough.
I put a bullet in the approaching guy head, kicked open the door and rolled out as fast as I could while firing at the guys that have an angle on me. 2 went down and the rest immediately opened fire. I went on all four and sprinted in an zig zag pattern toward the first downed guy. I noticed he had a ultility belt loaded with throwable previously. So I quickly grabbed that, chugged a frag grenade at the car infront of me, chugged a smoke at my car and dived back into cover. Just to be safe, I threw another frag.
"Well, careful was never enough" I told mysef as I noticed one bad guy running for his life when the grenade landed near him. Too late though. Kaboom!

Now that my beautiful ass was freed of enemy, I started to moved backward using the smoke as cover because the same thing might happen to me.
As soon as I peaked out of the smoke, an intense sense of danger hit me harder than a speeding truck ( hah! The irony). It was not some bullshit sixth sense in those Wuxia novel, mind you. What I heard was the sound of a bullet tearing through the air picked up by my extremely sensitive superhuman ears.
I moved my head barely out of harm way as the sub-sonic hot lead swished past. The trajectory guided me to a sniper on one of the roof top.
Dude! A sniper? Really? Even Superman may cry if you bullied him like this.
"Well, there goes my plan of running as fast as possible. They must get very close now" I sighed heavily, knowing that it was fight or die at this point.
Previously, I noticed the enemies had not got an angle on me yet, which means they were still infront of my cover.
A imaginary light bulb suddenly blinked on my head.
Without further ado, I pushed the suprisingly heavy sport car straight into enemy line until I heard satisfying crunch of crushed bones and screams for their mommy.
When you didn't feel like playing by the rules, just flip the table, or in this case a car, am I right?
While my opponents got distracted by the gruesome sence, I peeked out and popped a few heads. I also did a quick headcount. My impromtu ram took out 3, my jiggle peek took down another 2, which cut the number by almost half.
The bad news was I got myself within arm reach of the rest, bad for the bastards that was.

Have you seen John Wick? Have you heard of Gun-fu? Well, I can't do any of that. What I can do, however, was moving so quick that my enemies can only spin around like dumb kids in a toy store as I took them out one by one. The chaos also prevented the sniper from taking cheap shot at me
Eventually, I picked up a rifle, shoved it into the last unlucky guy mouth then pulled the trigger. When I looked up, that damn sniper had already fled the sence. Bitch, I remembered your face, just you wait.
*Ring Ring*
Ah! What a miracle! My phone survived through all this. Legendary Nokia indeed, I should've use this as a weapon.
Anyway, I answered the phone.
"Yes mother?... I'm sorry. I ran into an accident on my way home. Hmm?... No, I'm fine. Some unlucky dude got ran over by a truck. I'm helping him to the hospital right now... Yes, go ahead. Have a safe trip. Bye. Love you mom"
Fewww, I managed to bullshit my way through. I should also give second uncle a call while I was at it. Let's get to somewhere else first though, and get rid of all this blood. Fortunately, I alter my face or I would be in deep shit sooner or later.
*Ring ring*
"Yo, second uncle, guess what happen?... No, I did not crash your car... ok, ok, I did wreck your car a bit but it was not my fault, here's what happened... *5 minutes later*... Yes, send the clean up crew please"
*Ring Ring*
"Hey, buddy, how's it going? Life's good, eh?... What do I want? Nothing serious, someone want to hit on me twice in a day, I never knew I was that popular... Yes, they do have some gut... So here's the deal, I want to know who, where, and why... C'mon, we are friends right? Friends don't talk about money... How about a discount?... No? Okay then, just send the bill to my uncle... 3 days? Cool, let's have a drink sometimes. Bye"
Stingy bastard! Information brokers were all pompous cunts.

Epilogue
Revised version now available! Amazon paperback, ebook, audiobook, Kobo, B&N, Google In the war-torn land of Cyraveil, four heroes strove to overthrow an empire. By cold steel and elemental sorcery, they brought peace to a warring land on the brink of destruction. As the flames died, the realm needed strong leadership, and who better than the champions who had saved the kingdom? But when the people sought out their saviors... they vanished. Matt, Blake, Jen, and Carl: the four mysterious companions, who together had deposed an insane ruler and saved countless lives, were gone—spirited back in a whirlwind of magic to a sleepy suburb in Mellbridge, Oregon, never to return. The friends found themselves home in the real world, exactly as they'd been the night they were taken, as if no time had passed... except only three came back. Hi there! This was my entry for National Novel Writing Month, because why only write one series at a time? The more the merrier! (meanwhile, my keyboard bursts into flames...) I'm also the writer of The Last Science, an ongoing low-fantasy/speculative sci-fi series. If you're familiar with that, you know what to expect here: lots of character-focused drama and dialogue, not a whole lot of traditional action. However, I'm writing a bit differently than usual here, and in a very different structure, so there should be some surprises for returning readers. I hope you enjoy it! [Discord] — for those of you who want to hang out and chat. Cover art (fullsize): Path of Revelation, by taenaron (Tobias Roetsch), modified by Etzoli. Normally I like to do my own cover art from scratch, but I was in a rush for the contest. Might be replaced down the line if I get time.
