Good Samaritan

Greg trailed them to a shaded alleyway where Hodder’s men were taking the agitator who had publicly condemned them. The Ebola checks in the lot were still ongoing, and it was business as usual. Now that the people had been alerted of his presence and warned about him, he had to be extra careful. Joel, the man who had been taken away, was clearly not a part of the corruption rampant on the base. He could have information about the location of the holding cells or something about Veronica’s whereabouts. It was also the perfect opportunity to get two of Hodder’s men alone to interrogate them.

Greg ran behind a Humvee parked next to the building adjacent to the alleyway. He had a nice vantage point and watched as the guards walked the man to the end of the alley, as far away from public view as possible. One of Hodder’s men, a lanky mustached man with shaggy hair, pushed Joel against the wall and ordered him to put his hands up against it. Joel complied as the other man, a heavyweight bald man with tattoos completely covering both arms, rammed the end of his buttstock into the back of Joel’s legs.

“Down you go, big mouth,” the man said, laughing.

Joel grunted and fell to the ground in pain. The lanky guard kicked him in the side, knocking Joel over, while the overweight man kicked Joel in the back. At first, they seemed to just be toying with him, with a few hits here and there, taunting him. Then their attack escalated into a full-fledged beating.

On his knees, Joel held his arms up to deflect the swift blows to his head and face. He was losing ground as fists rained down on him, hitting him on all sides. Joel fell to the ground, begging them to stop. The men paused and took a step back. Trembling, Joel lifted himself up and got on his knees, his face already bruised and bloodied. As soon as he found his balance, the two men went back to beating him, throwing punches left and right. Greg saw his moment and moved quickly down the alleyway, drawing his hunting knife.

The men were too busy beating Joel to take notice of Greg’s approach. They were armed, and Greg had to be careful not to reveal himself. If the men were to turn around, all would be lost. They continued to pummel Joel as he struggled to stay on his knees.

“See what happens when you make a scene!” the lanky man shouted. “You must feel pretty stupid now.” He then looked to his heavyset partner. “Hey, Bones, I don’t think we’re getting through to this genius.”

Bones looked back at the lanky man. “Guess we’re gonna hafta try harder, Jimmy.”

Greg kept his footsteps light and his movements swift. He chose the lanky man, Jimmy, to his left first and rushed toward him, knife poised and ready. As the man took another step back from his beaten victim, Greg came from behind and ran the blade across his neck, slitting his throat.
