Chapter 27 by Mattahouen Mattahouen

Am I just paranoid?

Very paranoid

Something just didn't seem right. "Yes thanks, I am, it's always good to be around those you love" I reply to the lady. Immediately, I lean down to kiss Lena, who stands on her tiptoes receptively. Instead of kissing her however, I lean all the way down to her ear and whisper "I think we've fallen into a trap." Lena's eyes widen and she looks around, spotting an elderly lady with an eye patch in the next aisle over, watching us intently, a robotic face, disguised under a chefs hat behind the counter in the coffee shop across the path, a huge man with grey hair keeping an eye on us from the hardware shop next to that, with a gigantic hammer. Not to mention the TV screens all flickering every few seconds.

As I'm packing the groceries into the trolley to take them back to Mike, I 'accidently' drop a can of pasta sauce from the last bag. When I bend down to pick it up, I look up at Lena, who's waiting for me to make the first move. In a split second I pick up the can and throw it at the eye patch lady as hard as I can. By the time the can is out of my hand, Lena had already picked up all the groceries. The can hit the woman right in the face and she was stunned. Almost instantly, a yellow ball appeared floating over her head, as well as a purple one above my head. Lena and I ran for our lives.

As soon as we had started running, every single alarm in the shopping complex went off. The robot chef began lobbing orbs with deadly speed in the direction of Lena, who was dodging and ducking expertly, even with her hands full of grocery bags. The huge man from the hardware store threw a wave of fire in our general direction and began running at us, hammer in hand.

Thankfully, Ana was too disorientated from the can and missed her sleep dart by a mile. Thanks to Lena's training, I was able to keep up with her, and make it out of the shopping centre before Reinhardt could make it to us. Although, Zenyatta, Ana and Reinhardt were not far behind.

To Mike?
