A Preview to The Wandering Statue.

The fall had taken its toll on me. My back hurt so badly. I woke up just a minute before my watch started beeping for 5:30.
I didn’t really sleep though. After a while, you learn to call lying on the ground with one eye open and one hand on your gun “sleeping.”
She was still asleep, rusty was curled up beside her. The basement room was quite dark, no windows or anything, that’s why it was quite warm to sleep in. the room was in a shape of a rectangle, abandoned and dark. I could see that this room was being used just before us. There was a working table in the right corner beside the door, positioned in a way that if the door opened, there was no way that they could see me. I had the element of surprise.
I got my gun on out and started stripping off the pieces, getting it polished and clean. The weather could fuck up any mechanical device in a day, so I had to clean and maintain my gear every day.
It didn’t take long until she woke up, I looked at the watch and it was 6:30.
“Morning.” She said after she yawned.
“Get ready. We need to go.” I said, as I wrapped things up.
As I got off the chair, the door opened, two bandits walked in without a clue that we were here.  Roshan screamed and with her scream rusty woke up and started barking, I banged the door with all the strength I had on the first one’s head. His gun dropped and slid across the room. Second one shot his gun out of instinct, and I was lucky that the bullet just grazed my arm. He looked at my eyes a moment before I knocked him unconscious with a strong punch.
I turned back and I saw Roshan, holding the gun to me with her hands shaking and scared out of her mind.
“Calm down, it’s done.”
“Oh my gosh!”
I turned back, and another bandit was there. He hit me with a baseball bat. I lost balance and fell on the ground. My vision pretty much got dark, I couldn’t see anything. He sat on me and started bashing my head with his bat. But After a few seconds, I heard a gunshot and the ass whooping was over.
I felt like I should get some sleep. I closed my eyes.
“Deon….?”
“Deon?!!!”
“Wake up!”
