Liang Jian Amal waited until the gunfire turned away from him and started to run towards the building. He managed to eliminate more of the distance before throwing himself to the ground narrowly avoiding getting riddled with holes.
He lay there panting for a minute, before rolling over and preparing to go again. One of the other men tried to repeat what he had just done, but didn't make it for than a few steps before he was gunned down. Liang Jian Amal grimaced at the sight, and decided to wait a minute more as the enemy was taking a "spray and pray" action, making it harder to get any closer.
The men on the hillside left one man on the high ground to cover them, and to keep the man operating the machine gun blind. The rest started to work their way down to the doorway that faced them their AKMs held up and at the ready.
Liang Jian Amal lay on his belly holding his weapon in two hands watching the men make their way to the doorway, grouping up before rushing in. Strangled cries came out of the room; and the gun that had been going after the remaining truck, and the three men trying to advance by foot, went silent.
The men took advantage of the break and, started to rush all together to the small building.
The three that went inside dragged out a struggling man who shouted curses at them and their mother's. They shoved him to the ground as he was encircled him. One of the men that had been in the truck with Liang Jian Amal ran up and punched the kneeling man in the jaw, causing him to spit blood on the dirt.
"You killed Altan! You fucker!" The young man screamed as he lay another punch on him before being pulled back.
"Erol, calm yourself, we need information for now, you can beat him to death later. We need to find our countrywomen and what these dogs have done with them." One of the older men in the group held onto the younger man firmly and tried to talk some sense into him.
Fire burned in the younger man's eyes as he looked down at the man wiping his mouth on the ground, before walking to the dead man who had been driving the truck they were in. He layed him gently on the ground, closing his eyes, as he kneeled beside him, performing last rights over his corpse.
A chuckle started to come from the man surrounded on the ground, the chuckle started to grow to a laugh before it was cut off into coughing. The older man kicked the man on the ground in the chest, silencing him.
"Dog, you just killed several good men one of them being that man's older brother. You will tell us everything we want to know."
"Or else?" the man on the ground scoffed up at the man.
"Or else nothing, you will talk sooner or later, though I hope for later. You see we like to start small take it just one bit at a time. We'll start with one hand, one finger at a time until you feel like talking. We like to remove the nail first, then take it one knuckle at a time." The older man smiled maliciously down at the man who started to pale on the ground.
"Do your worst, I will not tell you shit."
Liang Jian Amal glared down at the man before going inside with a couple of the men. He was eager to find Chang, everything else, as far as he was concerned, could wait until later.
Strangled screams started to come from outside as the men tried to pry answers from locked lips. There was a small doorway, the machine gun planted at the window, unmanned, as well as a two-way radio sitting on a small table in the center of the room.
Liang Jian Amal turned the radio on, testing it, the sound of static answered him. Not hearing anything, he turned his attention to the doorway and away from the radio.
Liang Jian Amal walked to the doorway, turning the handle he found that it was locked. Bracing himself, he took a step back before landing a heavy kick on it, breaking it open. Several women shrieked and screamed from inside the room as the door swung inwards violently.
Inside the dark room over a dozen women were huddled together on the ground, as far from the door as possible. Some of the women carried obvious marks of abuse on their face and were in various states of dress and undress, a couple clutched rags to their bodies trying to cover themselves. Every one of the women were in a state of disarray and stared at him, terrified, like rabbits caught in a cage staring at the hunter.
To his relief and distress, the face he was looking for was not in there. There was another in there that he recognized though, and his eyes lit up slightly.
Liang Jian Amal recognized the girl as the one pictured in the he received photo from elderly couple. She was in the middle of the group not looking as worse for wear as some of the women. She sported only a cut lip and tearing on her clothes, the young woman clutched the front of her clothes together as she stared up at him.
Liang Jian Amal stepped into the room headed to the girl and the women all cried out a little, visibly shirking away from him.
"Don't be afraid, we are here to help you. Please be reassured." He held his hands up showing his palms to the women. The men who had come inside with him stepped into the room behind him. One of the men ran back outside and came back with another man.
One of the women cried out at the sight of the man and he rushed forward to take her into his arms.
"Asha, I'm here, you're safe now, my love." the man comforted her asking her questions as he stroked her hair. The woman sobbed loudly clutching tightly to him.
Liang Jian Amal felt a lump rise into his throat seeing the scene. He turned his head back towards the woman. A few more men came in with blankets and an emergency medical kit, for field dressings and they tended to the women.
"Miss Tülay, when you were taken were you taken with another woman by chance?" Kneeling in front of the woman, he softly questioned the young woman, hopeful for news on Chang.
"How did you know my name?" The young woman stared at him in shock, her bright green eyes wide.
"Your parents asked me to find you, and gave me your picture, as well as your name. This is really important, please tell me were you taken with another?"
"No, I was taken by myself and was put in a sack with something in it that made me feel sick and sleep for a long time."
Liang Jian Amal felt as if a stone hit him in the chest hearing that.
'Chang..'
"But when I was taken here there was another woman with me on the truck. I did not get a good look at her but she seemed to be really pretty, kind of young as well."
"Can you give me any more details about this woman." Liang Jian Amal felt like he was grasping at straws, but he couldn't help but try.
"She had long dark curly hair, she looked young, about marrieageable age.. Oh one of the men called her by her name, I can't quite remember I'm sorry."
It sounded like her but he couldn't be sure from the scant amount of information.
"No wait I remember he said something like 'you were warned Miss Dumon and now comes the consequences."'
"Where did they take her! ? Did they do anything to her?!" Liang Jian Amal couldn't help raising his voice hearing that last bit.
The woman cowered a bit under his forceful tone and looked at him with large fearful eyes.
"I'm sorry I don't know, they brought me in here last night and left with her. We were tied to a truck together but we couldn't talk or anything. That's all I know I swear!" As the woman shook, her wrists were exposed, showing ugly red chafing marks.
'Did they do this to her too?' He stared at them for a moment or two, feeling his heart burn before looking up, controlling himself.
Liang Jian Amal looked up at all the shocked eyes that looked at him and stood. He headed back into the first room a grabbed the radio pressing the transmission button and growled into the machine.
"Whoever you are, if you hurt one hair on her head, I will make you pay tenfold! I am coming for my wife!" He released the button formulating what else to say to receive a reaction. He hoped that he could maybe receive some information with an exchange. Or maybe whoever it was would even be interested in ransoming her. Just something, anything.
He stood there running a hand through his hair in agitation holding the radio staring at it. The screen lit up and he received an answer in the firm of a long chilling laugh.
"Hahaha! You waste your time boy. How amusing, you won't find anything, no matter what. But try if you wish, entertain us a little! Hah!" the rough voice gave one last barking laugh and then silenced leaving only static behind.
Liang Jian Amal stood, shell shocked, before roaring into the transmitting end and kicked the wooden table to the wall, smashing it. Ignoring the looks he got he walked outside to where Erol and the older man were interrogating the man. The other men were holding him down restraining him. Three of the fingers from his right hand were gone already and the man's face was pale; and covered in a sheen of sweat.
"Why did you take these women? Huh? What were you planning on doing?" Erol screamed in the man's face. The man sneered and spat a mixture of blood and spittle in his face. Erol roared and punched him before wiping his face disgustedly.
Liang Jian Amal strode right to the man and pulled his pistol from the back of his belt. He cocked it and aimed for the man's kneecaps, destroying them. The man screamed and threw him a hateful glare.
"Where did they take the other woman last night? The men on the other side of your radio? Who are they?" He roared at the man, it felt like he was losing his mind.
The man chuckled weakly. His head hung low.
"I will never tell you anything, the people I work for are much, much, worse.. Hehe he." Blood started to pool out of his mouth and he slumped further before starting to covulse.
Shocked the older man and Erol bent down and checked the man.
"Fucker bit his tongue." Erol spat in disgust before kicking him. Liang Jian Amal felt like he had just ran face first into a brick wall.
"Damn it all!" He screamed out to the sky and noticed a black dot in the sky quickly approaching them. The black dot soon showed itself to be a large helicopter with Hao Jin Ying piloting it. Liang Jian Amal and the other men shielded their eyes against the dust as she landed, killing the power to the rotors.
Hao Jin Ying dismounted feeling triumphant at having found them so quickly after everything. Seeing the look on his face and the dead bodies that lay on the ground she knew something was terribly wrong, her triumph was quickly snuffed.
"Sir, did you not find her?" She asked cautiously afraid of the other alternative.
"No, but we found the other women, it has come at a great cost though.." He scanned his eyes across the fallen men, the ground around them stained with the remnants of their lives.
"Take the women and the men back to the hospital for treatment. Tell the men who are heading as back up to head back and investigate this "Naz'r," we may find something through him. I am going to keep heading on there may still be tracks or some clues left out there." Liang Jian Amal issued his orders before heading to the closest truck, his attention focused on one need.
Erol followed after him and hopped into the vehicle beside him.
"I'm coming with you. I want revenge on whoever these people's boss is."
"Fine with me. Hao Jin Ying, come follow after us again after you're done." He started the engine of the vehicle storing his weapon in the back, before taking off.
