《His Unexpected Gang》20| We'll deal with this asshole later.

"I think I finally got the correct location." Mrs. Ryder says. "I know it took long to get rid of the glitches, but this has to be the right place. It has to be." Mrs. Ryder mumbles.
While Mr. Ryder consoles his wife, I start getting ready. "This might be it." My dad says, patting my shoulder.
"You were right about having a mole. I went to use the computers at our base. It had the same glitch." My mom says. "I'll alert you guys if something changes."
We all travel in separate cars, and I immediately pass the speed limit to get to the destination. I just need to find Adalynn and hold her. None of this would have fucking happened if I had just met her at Target. What kind of boyfriend am I?
You're right. I try to calm myself down and focus on the mission.
When we arrive at the building, we split up. I enter the second entrance with my gun in hand. No one's in the hallway, so I start opening doors.
"Ashton, someone's coming on your left." I hear my mom say through my earpiece. I hide inside a random room and stay quiet.
I look around and see someone lying on the floor. I slowly crept towards them, hoping it was Adalynn. I roll their body over and hold my breath. It's not her.
I examine her face and see how pale her body is. It looks like she was tortured to death. I swear if they lay a finger on Adalynn, I will murder them.
I check her pulse to see if she's still alive, but it looks like she's been dead for a few days. I feel someone's presence behind me and turn to point my gun at them.

He tries to grab the gun, but before he can, I punch his side. He moves to tackle me, but I'm stronger and escape his hold. I grab his neck and twist it. When his body drops, I shoot his chest, just for good measure. I leave that room, making sure to close the door.
"Two more guys approaching." I hear through my earpiece.
I slightly panic when the next door handle I try is locked. But the room beside it wasn't, so I hid in that one. I glance around and see there's a computer set up. I try to see if there's any security footage, but it's useless.
"Where are they now?" I whisper.
"They stopped in the middle of the hallway." She says.
I silently sigh and try to wait it out. A few moments later, I decided I couldn't wait any longer. I peek through the door's opening and see their backs facing me.
I shoot both of them in the head, and they flop onto the ground. Deciding to keep their bodies exposed, I continue my search for Adalynn.
I start to lose hope when all the doors I can open are empty, but I keep checking everything I can. "Ashton-" I hear my mom say before it becomes static.
I freeze and sense someone behind me. Tristian's pointing a gun at me and says, "Drop your weapon."
I don't listen and ask, "Where the hell is Adalynn?"
"You'll never get anything out of me." He says. "Now drop the weapon." He says.
I point it at him and say, "You know I won't do that."
He clenches his jaw in anger and is about to shoot. I shift forward to point his gun to the ceiling, and I punch his gut. He elbows my stomach while hunched over, and I take that opportunity to try and choke him.

I dig my gun into his cheek and demand, "Tell me where she is."
"She's already dead." He spits out.
I shoot his arm, and he shouts in pain. I keep my hold around his neck until he passes out, dragging him to a random room. I take his phone and weapon and continue searching.
I hear a gunshot upstairs and feel my heart drop. "Please tell me that's one of us," I mumble, knowing my earpiece isn't working.

The Legion of Nothing
Nick Klein is your average high school geek--if you can still count as average when your grandfather is a retired superhero, and you've been trained in the martial arts by his friend, a mysterious, immortal mercenary. After his grandfather dies, Nick inherits the last version of the Rocket suit, powered armor that allows him to shrug off bullets, smash through walls, and manipulate sound. Along with it comes the base of his grandfather's superhero team including the team's jet and trophies from forty years of fighting criminals and aliens. Together, Nick and his friends, descendants of his grandfather's teammates, attempt to bring back a superhero team that was originally formed during World War 2. Along the way they'll face the normal problems of high school (bullies, homework, and dating), and the less normal problems like supervillians and mysteries leftover from their grandparents' past. As a story, it uses the conventions of all eras of comics from the 1940s on, ranging from serious to silly. If you're hoping for a grim and gritty story, this isn't it. The Legion of Nothing first debuted on my website legionofnothing.com in 2007. In that period it's updated more than 900 times, is still running, and has had millions of pageviews. The first two years have been released as an ebook, receiving good reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. I hope you'll enjoy it, and that you'll review it and comment. You can also vote for it on Top Web Fiction and rate it on Web Fiction Guide. Member of The Order of Phantasmal Architects.

Ghostified City
‘Ghostified City’ is a post-dystopian sci-fi tale, set in a fading world that might be a future version of ours, running out on autopilot into oblivion. Adaman Yimmand is a simple robofactory operator in The City who's working with robots and machines every day. He doesn’t even realise that he might not have met another actual human being in years. Everything begins when he breaks his routine for once and enters a bar where he meets Evelith. This pesky other person does not let him go after he has had his -rather terrible- beer, because according to her actual humans are much rarer than he’s aware of. And from then on ‘the genie is out of the bottle and won’t get back in’, to use her words: Adaman meets more people, and gradually he has no choice but to accept that the reality of The City is not what he always thought it was, and to face the darkness of a fading humanity on the brink of self-inflicted extinction.Is there any hope left for him, and for his species? I have selected 'sexual content' and 'traumatising content' to be on the safe side, because there is a stripclub-like venue in the background of the story, and an almost-extinct humanity that has institutionalised suicide which might be disturbing to some. Apart from that it's not really a heavy 'adult' story.('Ghostified City' is my first long story in English as opposed to my native language Dutch, and an earlier version was published on my fiction blog 'Oranderra' until I stopped updating. This is a slightly altered version of the first series.)
