Jack In The Box Ep 5

     Jack checked his HUD to see if any other agents were nearby, the closest one was approximately 50 meters away. That was far enough away. He glanced over his shoulder and up along the sides of the buildings. Jack knew from experience that you couldn't always trust technology. It broke to easily. After he was sure no one was close by he slowed his breathing and tensed, he new as soon as he cut the link between him and the tracking unit they would know something was wrong and storm over to his position.
     Jack opened the side panel of the helmet and quickly cut two wires, effectively severing all communications between him and the GSO agents. He quickly dawned the helmet once more and began to run. Jack may not look it, being as pale as he was, but he could jog a mile or two without breaking a sweat. He was in full sprint running and darting through the alleyways, he had the advantage of knowing the area. But the agents were faster, they had special training and genetically enhanced muscles. At full sprint they traveled at around 30 mph. Jack could only manage around 20 mph, for a short time, so they were on him pretty soon.
     Jack took a furtive glance back to see the first of the agents cutting around the corner he had just turned. They had finally found him, there were only three but they had probably communicated his position to the others. They would be there soon. Jack pulled out his tranquillizer gun and did a switchback. They hesitated, he had been counting on this since he was dressed as one of them.
     He shot two of them but missed the third. The first two fell to the ground clutching at the darts protruding from their chests, it was to late though. The poison had seeped into their blood stream. They wouldn't be able to move so he did not have to worry about them, hopefully one of them had the antidote. The third agent however began pulling out his machine pistol and opened fire on Jack.  Jack cursed and did a rolling dodge behind a large industrial incinerator. Bullets pinged off he side of the giant metal box. It seemed it was shoot to kill now
     Jack had to think of something fast before the other agents arrived. He looked around and saw nothing. The only useful thing he had was the helmet on his head. He would have to make due, he tore off the helmet with regret. It would have gone for quite a lot on the black market. He swallowed his regret and tossed it out behind his cover. He had been hoping the agent was jumpy. He was. Bullets hit the helmet like a million angry wasps. Before the agent realized he had been duped Jack made a break for it and turned a corner. The agent would not be happy. He would most likely be demoted.
     Jack ran faster than ever before. He was finally coming upon the spot which he needed to be, the marketplace. It was the only actually nice looking place in Old New York. It even attracted tourists. There were bound to be plenty of people there, and that meant plenty of cover. Jack burst into the marketplace at full speed. When he glanced back to see if he had been followed, he ran smack into a silver haired girl.
