The 1^st chapter

“Come on Jim, hurry!”

My lad called, he was concerned we’d get caught. Who in their right mind, would try to capture any of us, like look at us. We’re a bunch of twats. We rarely ever got caught doing something bad, yet we always did something bad.

“Lad, if you don’t hurry your flumsy bum to the boat, we’ll be caught!” Said Mark quietly but strong.

“Yes yes” I answered.

I quickly started moving across the dirty, sand filled brick floor. It wasn’t completely quiet. You could easily hear my quick feet on the sand, shushing away on the ground. Suddenly out of nowhere, two guards walked the building we was in.

“Shh, they’re right outside” Mark whispered.

I put my hand on his shoulder, as sign that I heard him. We sat quietly, in an uncomfortable position, but we mustered. The guards talked a little but later walked away from the door, leaving us a chance to escape. We took it, which was a risky move.

“Run!” Shouted Mark.

We had just gotten outside, and then we got spotted. Turned out, one of the guards had dropped a little metal mark. The second Mark shouted, was the second the guard laid eyes on us, it was also in that second, I picked up the mark, and ran as fast as I could.

“Hold!” The guard shouted. “Catch these thieves!”.

We ran to the limit of ours legs. At first it was only the guard and his mate, but after he shouted, there was like 8 guards who all ran after us. Because of their heavy armor, we easily made to the boat, before they could catch us. The problem wasn’t the guards who was following us, it was the men in the towers. The bomb towers.

Guarded with three men. These towers had both two men with rifles and one man with a cannon. The rifle men caught sight on us, and started firing after us. Luckily, I only got flinched, never hurt badly. Mark on the other hand, he got shot in both the leg and the shoulder. Because of that, our speed got halted by the half, and the guards was still running towards us.

“Go my friend, live, I’ll hold them” Mark said jokingly but serious.

He pulled a paper from his pocket and gave it to me, then he took my gun and shot one of the rifle men, which led to the other 3 starting to shoot at us again. I let go of Mark and started running towards the boat. While running I looked over the shoulder and saw Mark getting shot multiple times, though he was dying quickly, he managed to kill two rifle men, and 3 guards.

I managed to set sail and be out of the dock, quicker than the rifle men and the guards could ready their weapon and deal major damage.
