Brian bolted back at the sound of gunshots. But by the time he got back, there was only a girl lying on the ground, she was “dead”.
The girl waited for him to get closer, wrapping her arms around his legs and bursting into tears, "That woman scared the living daylights out of me!"
"It's not a real gun, what's the big deal?" Brian tried to soothe her.
"No, no, in that split second, I thought she really killed me!" she said fearfully, her face gone white as a sheet.
She'd been in plenty of real-life CS games before, but this was the first time she'd ever been so terrified.
Brian tried to comfort his girlfriend again, his competitive spirit fired up. He was a pro shooter, so taking on a few amateurs should be a piece of cake, right?
If he couldn't protect his own girlfriend, what kind of man would he be!
He told the girl to rest up on the side, gripping his gun tightly, his face a mask of cold determination, "Wait for me to get back at them!"
Ryan and his team had scattered, quickly rallying his own team not to besiege Estelle anymore, but instead to rush to the blue team's flag fortress as soon as possible.
However, when they arrived, everyone was stunned to find the fortress flagless.
No wonder they had had such an easy ride!
But how in the world did the three red team members manage to break their siege and take their flag so quickly?
It was beyond belief!
Brian seemed to realize something, his face changing slightly, "They must've taken the flag themselves, we need to get back on defense, pronto!"
......
As Henson looked on in surprise, Estelle slowly emerged from the shadows of the trees. She smiled at Henson, "You're quite alert!"
Henson said, "Why didn't you make a sound, I almost 'killed' you!"
Jonathan handed his gun back to him, smiling faintly, "She deliberately made a noise to test you. If she wasn't your teammate, you'd be 'dead', and you wanted to 'kill' her?"
Henson felt thoroughly looked down upon and Jonathan's protectiveness towards Estelle. Jonathan saying he wasn't playing favorites?
He was about to blow his top!
Estelle smiled and said: "The red team will rush back to defend as soon as they see our flag is gone. We need to get moving, pronto!"
With that, she took the lead and left, just like before.

Dear author Lucy, may we please have updates. Thank you....
There's a song currently playing via YouTube and TikToc by LowDii "Touch Me Softly" that makes me think of Norah and Xavier (Gonzalez). Please, I'm looking forward to updates. Thank you for your writing....
May we please have updates. Thank you....
As the plot thicken. Adrian is done for and he can't try to control Norah, so he'd probably tattle to Janice who's gone for two weeks. Thank you soooo much for the updates....
These updates were too funny. Thank you so much for the updates....
I forgot to add Amy to the group of pregnant women,since she was the first. Emily and Sylvia better be careful since pregnancy is in the air....
Wow! This is great, both Estelle and Magdalen are pregnant at the same time and I hope that Xavier is Norah neighbor. Thank you for the updates....
