Breaking and Entering

   Eddie 

   Everything was fine when we woke up. As planned the kid went ahead. He was to stay at the portside cafe and wait an hour there. We wanted to draw as little suspicion as possible hence the hour wait there.

   I on the other hand had my own mission to carry out. I didn't tell the kid what I planned to do  because if he knew he wouldn't like it one bit. 

   From what I saw when we first arrived and from when I went out to the convenience store, there two guards at the front door, a bunch doormen as well that assist with the  bags. There was also a guard that inspects the cars that enter the parking lot of the hotel. 

   Amongst these guards, two had hand guns on them while the other one was carrying a baton. If they were they only ones I need to take out I could do that no problem. But I have to cause a distraction big enough for me to draw a considerable amount of attention.

   I needed them to radio in the police. It was the only way the kid was getting in one of these ships without getting caught.

   I waited for about thirty minutes before I headed down. As I walked around the hotel lobby, I kept eyeing the guards that were carrying guns. My eyes were darting back and forth between the guards, the people around the lobby, and the luggage that were being moved.

   It was showtime baby!

   I walked towards the direction of the guards. Before they could even react, I had already grabbed one of the guards pistol. I fired two shots at the ceiling. The guard that had the other pistol began shooting at me. I just kept hitting different parts of the ceiling.

   I was trying to cause as much panic as much as possible. Since the kid left and checked out already an hour ago, even if I were arrested he wouldn't be suspected of being an accomplice to this. This was what I had decided.

   I hear one of them start to call in the cops. Meanwhile back inside the hotel lobby, it was complete pandemonium. People were screaming and s**t, they were ducking behind counters and some were running for their lives. 

   Once I heard the sound of police sirens, I quickly beat up the guards and the doormen. Two cop cars arrived so I started shooting at the cop cars tires when they stopped their car. 

   With their tires now busted, I booked it. I used "Stockpile First form: Swift Release" and I just started running. While I ran I zig zagged between civilians and I pushed some of them of the road. I was trying to pretend to get them of my trail, while being barely seen in the amount of people walking down the side walk. 

   From my peripheral vision I saw that the cops that were chasing me shouting in the radio. They were probably calling for backup. I headed to  an intersection and soon enough two more police cars blocked the road. 

   I was barely using my "Stockpile First form: Swift Release". Once I saw the the two other cop cars pull up, I decided to go full throttle. I started zooming down the street. The cop cars were barely keeping up with my speed. 

   I started doing a routine so I could constantly somewhat replenish my Stockpile. Whenever the cop cars would start to lag behind me by a lot. I would let them catch up and try to shoot at me. While they're doing this I'm just doing a bunch of different s**t to cause people to panic. 

   Once I wasted their time for a bit, I start using "Stockpile First form: Swift Release" again. I was doing a pretty good job at drawing attention to myself and distracting them. Whenever they get to far I use "Stockpile First form: Swift Release", and once they try to stop me I switch to "Stockpile Third form: Achilles" and just tank all their bullets. 

   I was vaguely aware of where I was going. I kind of knew the layout of the streets here and I've been leading them around in circles. All most close to the pier but not quite. 

   I wonder how the kid was doing. By now he should be already entering the main ship that we talked about.

   My thoughts were interrupted as I get punched so hard that it sent me flying back.

   Geez, and I thought you guys were only sight seeing when you came here. It's a shame, guess I'll just have to stop you both before you even get to the boss" it sounded like a dude's voice. Either way, he sounded like an asshole.

   It's been some time since I was actually hurt by an attack. I look up to see who my opponent was.

    He was pretty tall. Well built. He looked like he was around his late twenties or so. Dark hair that was in a mullet. He had that f*****g smug look on his face and I couldn't wait to wipe that smug grin off it.

   "I'm one of the guys running our operation here in port harbor" the guy said. "They call me Herc around here, because of the name of my ability. Let's dance old man!"

He had an extremely heavy punch. His first punch earlier hurt a lot because I was surprised but now I could somewhat tank his hits. I was in "Stockpile Third form: Achilles". I'll just go blow for blow with him.

   He'll lose in a battle of endurance. Since I'm using "Stockpile Third form: Achilles", this was my best defensive technique which will just absorb all his attacks and I can just keep using them for my Stockpile. 

I thought he was just a brawler. There was no skill or technique to his punches. No strategy or whatsoever so I thought he just managed with his sheer strength. But I was wrong, I blocked his fist directed to my face. 

   In that moment, he grabbed my waist and immediately got me in to a head lock. 

   "I'm called Herc because of my ability Hercules Beetle. I got the strength of a Hercules Beetle and I got the best grip in the damn world" Herc said.

   I don't think my Stockpile covered grappling and such because as he constricted me more I was losing consciousness. Next thing I knew, I was already in mid air because Herc threw my at one of the buildings.
