Spy Mage System-Chapter 162

162 A Time in Hawaii

“Alright, everyone ready?” Mr. Drails asked, as I nodded. “Then let’s do this.” He opened up the portal that led to an alleyway between two apartments of some sort. I stepped through first, and Nikki followed, and then everyone else stepped through.

As we were about to step into the portal, it closed, leaving Malachi falling to the ground. “Of course, always with me,” he groaned.

I turned around, seeing Nikki standing there with her hands in her pockets. “What’s wrong?” I asked.

“Nothing,” she replied, looking down.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah, I’m fine,” she said with a smile.

“Good,” I said, turning back to the others. “Let’s go.”

“This is how it always happens,” September said with a chuckle. “The big guy falls first.”

“Hush would you?” Malachi hissed, before he grabbed himself and pulled himself up. “Okay,” Mr. Drails said through the radio, now I put you on the street where my decoy will arrive. When he comes, stay back until you see Marcello in sight, okay?”

.....

“Yeah,” we responded, and I walked towards the other end of the alleyway. The other end where there were a few people walking down it as they talked with each other in hushed tones. “So do we just look around or something?” Malachi asked, and I shrugged.

“Maybe try to look like you belong,” Nikki suggested.

“Yeah, like we’re lost,” I added.

“Exactly,” she said with a nod, and we both looked at Malachi before he frowned and looked at the ground. “Can we eat some food?” I asked as Nikki nodded in agreement. “That would be the best way.” Tisiah nodded and Malachi exceptionally nodded in agreement, making him look at us as we nodded back. “Then it’s settled.”

“You’re really enjoying this aren’t you,” I said with a laugh as I saw Malachi’s eyes narrow. “We just got here, but it is a good start,” he said, as I shrugged and turned my attention to the alleyway again. We walked towards the other end, seeing that there were many people coming and going from the buildings, but there were only two people walking down the other end of the alleyway as they talked with each other and glanced around every so often.

Soon enough, we arrived on the street and it was pretty crowded with people walking by. I was able to see a few people in suits and ties, and a couple of women dressed in business casuals. There were a lot of people, and quite a lot of people who could be targets.

“See that food vendor up there?” September suddenly said, and I turned my head towards her voice as I looked at her. “The one with the bright blue shirt?” She was pointing towards the direction she was facing.

I nodded as I saw him walking around the cart he was setting up and setting a board of sausages on the stand. I nodded, feeling a bit excited, as Nikki did too as she looked at me with a smirk on her face. “Yes, yes I see him,” I said as she laughed softly to herself before she took off running towards the stand.

“Whoa, wait up!” Malachi protested as he ran after her, while I followed along with Nikki, and we both made our way towards the stand where the sausage stand was being set up. The stand had the smell of cooking meat coming from it, and it was deliciously smelling to me as I could hear Nikki’s excited tone.

I looked behind me, seeing that Mr. Drails had given us a good spot for this to work out the best. We were surrounded by people who were walking around or walking their dogs down the streets of the city. It was the perfect but worst place at the same time, seeing as there were so many targets here. I wasn’t worried though, since my team was ready and prepared for anything to happen.

“Two sausages,” Nikki said happily as she stood there with her hand outstretched waiting for the man to give her those two. But as I looked around, I felt something wrong, seeing as this wasn’t normal for us at all. There were too many people here, and there was something else too that made me feel something was off here as I looked at Nikki’s happy expression as she waited for the man to give her those two sausages.

And then I caught it. It was such a split second, but it was enough for me to notice it all. There were only two people who were walking down the streets, and both of them were carrying briefcases as they talked with each other and looked around every so often to check their surroundings.

Those were the fake targets, but where were the assassins? And that was when I saw one of them standing in the crowd watching Nikki and me waiting for our order. They were about five meters away from me, and they seemed to be looking around with curiosity as they seemed to be looking at Nikki more than anyone else in this area.

“Guys...” I muttered, as an uneasy feeling rained upon me, but then Malachi tapped my shoulder to get my attention. “Huh?” I asked him as I turned around, seeing him staring at something in the air before he pointed at something behind me. “I think they’re here,” Malachi said, as my eyes widened in shock.

There were two motorcycles going for those two guys at a high speed, and as soon as they passed by them they turned their heads back and stared at them. They were dressed in black leather jackets and pants as they both wore dark sunglasses, and both of them wore black helmets as well. Their faces were covered in tattoos, and as I looked closer, I could see that one of them was holding a pistol.

“Get down!” I yelled, and as I did so, I heard Nikki yell the same thing.

“What the!” Nikki yelled. The targets covered their heads, as me and Malachi ran towards them, as everyone else turned their heads to see what was going on.

The motorcycle riders stopped in front of those two targets and jumped off their motorcycles and started to approach them quickly. But then, they immediately noticed us, and their expressions turned to confusion.

“What’s going on?” The one who was carrying the gun shouted as he raised his weapon and pointed it at us, but before he could pull the trigger I ran towards him and grabbed his wrist to stop him from firing. Quickly I kicked him in his knee, making him fall to the ground in pain.

I felt Malachi running towards me, as I turned around to see Nikki running towards him as well. The other rider was taking his time to draw his gun out from his jacket before he aimed at us as well. “Duck!” September shouted, ramming into Malachi before a shot was even fired, pushing him back a few feet.

Malachi got back up onto his feet with a grunt and grabbed the bike rider who was aiming his gun at him before he slammed the bike rider into a car which crashed against the wall nearby, making a loud bang. The gunshot had been loud too, as I looked around me and saw that some of the bystanders had stopped what they were doing to look at us in curiosity.

Soon enough, more motorcycles began to arrive at the scene, and as the riders stopped their vehicles and got off, they immediately drew their guns out and aimed them at us.

This was getting bad. But then as I turned my head, I found myself dodging an overhead punch, before I slammed into the person who threw it before I landed a kick right on the chin of the other person. They fell down like a sack of potatoes as I stood up and looked at the two men who were fighting me while they both held their pistols out. 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢

One of them tried to swing, but I ducked underneath it and slammed my fist into his face before I grabbed his arm and twisted it around before I slammed my knee into his stomach. He groaned in pain and fell to the ground while his partner stared down at me as he aimed his weapon at me again.

“I got you now you!” He shouted as he aimed his gun right at me. “I’m gonna kill you!” He shouted again before I dodged to the side, avoiding the bullet that was fired by the gun he was holding.

They didn’t seem very experienced, being they are good assassins, so I figured I should take this chance to defeat them if I could. My eyes narrowed in anger as I approached them quickly to get in their face so they couldn’t aim at me.

But then I noticed, as I looked behind me and saw a van that took our two targets.

It was a distraction, but one that worked.
