As I turned to the Camera feed I could see my dad quickly look out the front door.

Not seeing anything wrong, I looked out the back window and clearly saw something as he had go around to the back door quickly, and went out into the yard and instantly looked to the left and took off running in that direction.

I had been hearing gunshots for a while now, and it only increased when I saw my father run.

Time just seemed crawl along. I saw in my eyes that it was now 9 at night, I had gotten done with securing my daemon at around 8:40ish, just around 20 minutes and all of this had happened.

It seemed to start settling down after a while. When I noticed a bright light coming from the window that showed the front of the house.

So carefully walking over to it, and slightly parted the curtain enough to look.

What I saw was a lot of the houses on the block were no on fire, and people were running everywhere.

Thankfully I didn't see anyone injured, they just seemed to be scared and running.

From what I found out moments later, a group of borged up scavs was walking down the road behind the people leading them down the road leading to the gate.

I did notice that none of the children were there, and thought it was old.

Only now realizing, they would be coming here, I quickly turned around and grabbed a Knife and a pistol from the small closet before closing the closet.

I don't want these scavs having access to all of these guns if I have to leave the room.

So I watched the feed, and to my surprise, no one approached, at least from the front.

But two men, a Large man clearly having gorrilla hands, and the skinny man had a face like you would see on a Maelstrom, where they removed their eyes and nose, and replaced it with Highly accurate Sensors, but there only seemed to be one dot active in the middle.

I actually knew these type of eyes as I was considering getting them with "Real skin" and Fake eyes to cover them. with just the center one being active, he had stopped the other feeds so he wouldn't be overwhelmed but the information with all the fires and light in the night time.

So if I was lucky, he would have normal sight or night vision active currently and not heat vision.

With there being two of them, I knew the gun wouldn't work well as if the group that passed the house was to hear a gunshot and their people didn't report that it was them, they would come back to investigate.

So I put the pistol into the back of my belt. And held the knife as I got under the couch.

I had a plan, if they split to search the house, I should be able to take them.

The big one would be an issue although, I don't know if he will have sub dermal implants and be resistant to stabs.

I was watching the feed of the 2 inside cameras from under the couch.

I could see they made it in the back door and were searching around with the large one heading on the west part of the house and the skinny one heading toward my side on the east part of the house.

Unluckily, the study was the second door in this hallway and after he had checked the small closet that was the first door in the hallway, he entered the study.

Instantly seeing the camera feed and going over to it. Thankfully there was no external port so he couldn't hack in to do a ping.

So I hacked the radio on the desk, and while he was distracted, I came up behind him with the knife in hand.

The knife, no speeding forward in a stabbing motion was caught with my hand in hands that didn't looked to be as strong as they were.

"Ahah I knew there would be one here! Glad we didn't torch the place yet!"

I tried to struggle away but the man simply pinned the arms together, holding them together with the sleeves of my long sleeve shirt.

He then reached around his back and pulled out zipcuffs and went to applying them to me.

I felt helpless as I tried and tried to struggle but it was all in vain.

The man grabbed me and threw me over his shoulder walking out of the room and tossing me on the sofa as he stood in front of me.

"Now I want you to calm down and listen to me. We are being paid to move you, they didn't specify a condition you needed to be in. So unless you want to be in a lot of pain and cuffed, best be good and answer my questions."

I looked at him with outward Disgust, but nodded.

"Ok. Hey mark, found one, you find any?"

"Nah, nothing. Only one here?"

"About to find that out." At this, all 5 lights in his head lit up and he looked at me.

"Now, I want you to tell me, were there any other people in this house right now? And don't bother lying, as with my sensors I will be able to tell, and you don't want to know what will happen if you lie."

I thought for a moment about what I would say.

If I lied, he may be able to tell, but me being from another world, I knew the tells for lying. Would I be able to fool him?

Doubtful, but I could try. But then I may be in much worse shape.

Deciding on trying to stall, I ask "Haven't seen eyes like those since the Maelstrom I met, you with them?"

Slightly confused, the skinny man simple shook his head and walked over to me.

As he did, he reached out and grasped my pointer finger on my left hand and snapped it back.

I yelled in pain before gritting my teeth, and clenching my jaw to stop me from yelling something that could have worse done to me.

The skinny man just Grinned "Stronger than you look, but I did warn you. Now are there any other people in this house?"

He asked again and with the pain I couldn't hold myself back.

"Oh, you know, just as many people as I saw at your mothers house when I visited for some late night f...."

He interrupted me, as he stood, walked to me and backhanded me very hard.

My head was swimming, I felt blood running down my face and I felt a stinging pain in my cheek and forehead.

He stepped back "Cheeky one! Thats what you get, now last chance, tell me how many other people are in this house."

Spitting to momentarily clear the blood from my mouth "I just told you.." He stood again.

"Wait, think about it. You could tell I was lying about going to your mothers, but I did say how many people there were. To be more specific for you, none."

It looked like he wanted to backhand me again, but he didn't he just grabbed me and throw me over his shoulder as he motioned for the large guy to the front door.

We all walked to the front door and the skinny man, with me on his shoulder arrived first with him opening the door and walking out.

"That should be the last house. Torch it and lets go"

"No, please. That's my parents and my house!"

"To bad kid, all the houses have to go, and I hate to tell ya, but I doubt your parent will miss it."

I was stunned when I saw the large mans Wrist open to reveal a short pipe, and out of the pipe burst hot and bright flames, engulfing the house.

I watched in horror as the our house was beginning to catch fire completely, when a shitty little beater car pulled up and the skinny man threw me in the back seat.

"I don't normally have passengers in my car so behave and you won't get slapped again."
