The Hunt

The sound of high heels could be heard as a woman entered a boardroom, file folders in hand.

"Here you are" said the woman, as she placed the folders in the middle of the table where a group of men were sitting.

"Thank you Kim!" said a man sitting at the head of the table. As Kim the secretary left, the men began talking.

"So who's working on what?" asked one of the men.

"Well," said another man "From our last meeting, Paul was going to do Survivor 74. I think Frank had Temptation Island 69 and Josh, Big Brother 25."

"So now that that's settled" said a man at the head of the table, "who's got an idea for a new reality show?"

"I do!" said a man, his face concealed by the shadows

"Ah yes!" said the man at the head of the table "Your idea, are you ready to put it on the air?"

"Almost" said the man "first I'm gonna try it out with some test subjects!"

"That's great!" said the man "But who?"

"The people in these folders" said the man, as he pointed at the file folders on the table. "All their info is in here!" The man at the head of the table took the first file folder and opened it, inside was various pieces of paper with various data. On the top of this pile of paper, was a picture of Jabo, Laura, James, and Gordon.

"Shit!" said James as they were running after someone "we're not in this city five minutes, and we're already chasing someone!" As the group continued to pursue the man, he ran into a warehouse.

"Wonder why he ran in here?" asked Gordon

"Probably to hide" said Jabo, as he loaded a clip into

his handgun. "In the end it's gonna be useless!" With Jabo leading, the group slowly made their way into the warehouse. As they looked around they could see no sign of him, as they entered the center of the warehouse the doors slammed shut.

"What the fuck?" said Jabo as he looked back at the doors "Gordon try to get those doors opened!" Gordon ran over to the doors, and attempted to open them. As Gordon struggled to open the doors, the warehouse began filling up with a coloured gas.

"It's a trap!" yelled Jabo as he ran over, and tried to help Gordon open the doors. As Jabo looked over his shoulder, he saw James and Laura loose consciousness from the gas. After a few minutes of struggle trying to open the doors, the gas got to Jabo and Gordon and they both lost

consciousness.

***

"Ah, my fucking head!" said Jabo as he regained consciousness. He stood up, and noticed that he was no longer in the warehouse. He looked around and among the grass, sand, and palm trees. He saw the group laying on the ground. Jabo walked over and shook Laura awake.

"What...What's going on?" asked Laura as she stood up, and looked around "Where the fuck are we?"

"I don't know!" said Jabo "I'm just wondering how we ended up from the warehouse to here."

"Well first thing's first," said Laura as she pointed at James and Gordon "let's wake these guys up!" As Jabo and Laura were walking up James and Gordon, they heard a voice coming from a loudspeaker.

"Greetings!" came the voice from the loudspeaker "I assume by now everyone has regained consciousness, so I'll start with the introductions. I am David, and I am pleased to announce that you five groups have been chosen to try out a little game of mine!"

"Five!?" said James "Is he saying there are four other groups of people in this fucking place?"

"Guess so!" said Jabo

"My game is called The Hunt" said David through the loudspeaker "the object is very simple...survival! Of course the only chance for survival, is to kill. If you want to win, you simply have to be the last surviving group. Of course if everyone dies, there will be no winner. Well all I can say is good luck and have fun!"

"That is one sick, crazy fucker!" said James

"Yeah, you ain't kidding!" said Jabo

"So what are we going to do?" asked Laura

"I have a plan" said Jabo "the only way we're going to get out of this alive, is to find where that broadcast is coming from."

"Then what?" asked James

"We try to find a way off this goddamn island!"

"What about David?" asked Laura

"Very simple," said Jabo "We kill that sick fucker, because he doesn't deserve to live!" As Jabo looked off into the distance, he saw the sun was setting. "Well you guys better get some sleep" said Jabo

"What about you?" asked Gordon

"I'll stay up and keep watch" said Jabo "it's no problem, I had to do it all the time in the war."

"Ok" said Laura "goodnight Jabo!"

***

As the sun began to rise, Jabo could hear splashing water off in the distance. As he came closer to the source of the noise, he saw clothes laying on the shoreline. As he remained hidden behind bushes, he saw a figure come out of the water. Jabo watched as the figure came into view,

revealing it to be a woman. As the woman stepped out of the water, she shook the water out of her bright orange hair. Jabo continued to stare watching the water glisten off her breasts and pubic hair. As the woman began to put on her clothes, she looked up to see Jabo watching from the

bushes. A smile came across her face as she placed her hand inside her clothes, and pulled out a handgun. The woman aimed the gun at Jabo, and fired a couple of shots. The shots narrowly missed Jabo, as he jumped out of the way. He pulled out his handgun, and began to fire shots back at the

woman. The woman fired the last out of her clip, then started to run.

"You haven't seen the last of me!" said the woman as she ran off.

"No" said Jabo as he put away his gun "but I saw enough of you!"

As Jabo made his way back to where the group, he found them all up and moving.

"What was that noise?" asked Laura "I thought I heard shots!"

"You did" said Jabo "I just saw a member of one of the other groups!"

"What did they look like?" asked Laura

"She looked strong" said Jabo, he looked over at Gordon and James and whispered, "and not half bad naked!"

"What was that?" asked Laura

"Oh nothing!" said Jabo, a smile on his face visible to James and Gordon.

***

That afternoon, the group decided to go through the jungle. They were determined to find David and dispose of him. As they walked on, Jabo heard a twig snap. He quickly turned in the distance of the sound, and fired from his M16. The group stood in silence as Jabo looked in the direction he had just fired, the barrel of the M16 still smoking. From either side of the group, five people stepped out from behind the trees.

"What the fuck's this?" yelled James

"We're called Brain Damage, and you've just stepped into our turf!" said the group leader

"Why are you called Brain Damage?" demanded Jabo

"Because!" said the group leader "We have a tendency to shoot people in the dead, those that don't die are left with brain damage!"

"Oh real fucking cute!" said Jabo "Now get the hell out

of our way!"

"I don't think so!" said the leader as he placed his hand up on a tree, blocking Jabos path. As Jabo looked around him he saw Brain Damage closing in on the group.

"So you don't think so?" said Jabo "Oh well, if you put it that way I..." Jabo then quickly brought the butt of his M16 up and hit the leader in the face, bringing him down. This act by Jabo caused Brain Damage to start an assault on the group. A woman ran at Laura, Laura quickly

threw the woman over her shoulder. As the woman reached for her gun, Laura placed her own gun on the womans right temple.

"Well," said Laura as her finger wiggled on the trigger "guess we'll get to find out if you get to live up to your group name or not!"

"NO!" yelled the woman as Laura pulled the trigger. A shot was heard, and blood splattered on a nearby tree. Laura let go of the womans body, and stood up. As Laura looked at the group, she saw James firing at another member of Brain Damage at close range. As Laura looked at the man James was killing, she noticed from all the shots James had taken, the face was indistinguishable. Lauras sights moved over to Gordon, who was holding two members of Brain Damage by their necks. She watched as Gordon brought his hands together, the heads colliding and cracking open. Laura felt a little nauseous, as she could see in plain view the brains seeping

out of their heads. Quickly, her attention turned to Jabo who had his M16 aimed right at the leaders head.

"Wake up you son of a bitch!" said Jabo angrily. The Brain Damage leader opened his eyes, and saw a barrel of an M16 pointed right at his face.

"What...What the fuck is this?" said the leader nervously.

"I gave you a chance!" said Jabo "You could have just let us walk on by, but no! Now look around, your group's dead and you will soon join them!"

"NO!" yelled the leader as Jabo fired his M16, causing blood to shoot into the air. The group walked over to Jabo, they left the area and continued walking.

***

That night, Jabo once again decided to keep watch. As Jabo looked around, he could hear nor see anything. He looked down at his watch, it was one a.m.

"Few more hours," Jabo thought to himself "then we can continue on our way!" As Jabo knelt, weapon in high ready he heard a noise coming from the distance. Jabo pointed the M16 in the direction of the noise, he was ready to fire as he heard the noise coming closer. As the noise began to sound very close, it suddenly stopped. "What the fuck?" Jabo said to himself. As he listened again, he could hear the clicking sound of a lighter. As Jabo looked in the direction

of the noise, he could see an object flying through the air. As the object came fully into view, Jabo could see that it was a Molotov Cocktail.

"Holy Shit!" yelled Jabo as he jumped out of the way. Jabo began firing from his M16, the shooting waking up the other members of the group. Without even knowing the situation, the group began firing in the same direction as Jabo. As Jabo looked into the distance, he saw people with

orange hair running from the scene. Jabo watched as the woman from the shore ran with the rest of them, she looked back temporarily before she continued to run.

"What the fuck was that?!" asked James

"Was probably one of the other groups." said Gordon

"Damn right!" said Jabo as he pointed at Gordon "After something like this, we're gonna have to be on our guard at all times!"

"Did you see who did it?" asked Laura

"Yeah I did!" said Jabo

"Well, who were they?" asked Laura

"Not important right now!" said Jabo "Our main priority is to find David, and get the fuck out of here! Let's go!"

***

"What the fuck was that about?" asked James, as the group walked away from a group they had killed.

"They were Otakus!" said Jabo as he looked at his watch, it was one in the afternoon the next day.

"And what in the fuck are Otakus?" asked James

"It's a term given to anime fans" said Gordon

"Oh!" said James "That would explain the chick wearing what appeared to be a sailor outfit, those two guys calling themselves Super-Saiyans, and that guy saying he was a devil man. But how the fuck do you guys know so much about this shit!"

"We've all watched anime!" said Laura "These guys just took it to the extreme!"

"You're telling me!" said James "The one guy wanted to fucking be called Goku, what the fuck's with that?"

"They just loved anime way too much!" said Laura "You can't tell me you've never watched anime."

"Well..." said James

"When he came to the bar!" said Gordon "He was always telling me about scenes in Twin Angels, La Blue Girl, and Urotsukidoji!"

"Eww!" said Laura "You mean to tell me you only watched hentai?" An embarrassed smile came across James face as he shrugged his shoulders. As the group walked on, a figure watched from the bushes. It was the woman from the water.

"It will be soon!" said the orange haired woman.

***

"Damn nigga!" said a black man wearing a bandanna "When are we gonna see some fuckin' action?"

"Soon man, soon" said another black man "Someone's sure to come this way." As a group of five black men were talking, footsteps could be hear from the distance. The leader of this group pulled out a 9 millimeter handgun, and held it in the direction of the footsteps.

"Show yourself motherfucker!" said the leader angrily "Or I'm gonna bust a fuckin' cap in yo' ass!" The men watched as a figure came into view, it was Laura.

"Hey baby!" said the leader as he put down his gun, and put his arm around Lauras shoulder. "What's a nice looking white girl like you, doing here?"

"Think she got a little jungle fever!" said one of the group members.

"Maybe!" said the leader "Is that what your looking for baby? You wouldn't be entering the Thugs territory alone if you weren't!"

"Well actually," said Laura as she rubbed the leaders hand "I'm...NOT!" Quickly, Laura grabbed the mans hand and twisted it. This brought him down to his knees, which caused the other group members to come closer. Laura quickly pulled out her handgun, and stuck it in the mans mouth. "Any of you make a move," said Laura angrily "I'll blow his fucking brains out!"

"So what if you do bitch?" said one of the members "You can't very well take us all on by yourself!"

"Ya know, you're right!" said Laura. A shot was heard, blood came out of the gang members head, as he fell to the ground. "But I didn't saw I was alone!" From out of the bushes came Jabo, Gordon, and James. They began fighting the other three members of The Thugs, meanwhile Laura still had her gun in the leaders mouth.

"Here's the situation," said Laura "You're just gonna sit here and watch your teammates die. You make a move, and I pull the trigger!" Jabo and one of the members were engaged in a fist fight, when all of a sudden Jabo saw him reach for his gun.

"You ready to die motherfucker?" said the gang member, as he pulled out his gun.

"No but you are!" said Jabo as he quickly pulled out his Samurai sword, cutting off the guys hand. The man let out a painful yell as he fell to his knees, holding onto his bloody stump.

"You're dead motherfucker!" said the guy, as a small puddle of blood formed around him.

"Sorry," said Jabo "You are!" Jabo quickly took his Samurai sword, and stabbed it through the guys neck, coming out the other side. As Jabo pulled the blade out, the man gurgled and fell forward blood seeping out of his neck. Laura took the gang leaders head, and moved it in the

direction of Gordon. As they watched, Gordon had another gang member on his knees with his hands behind his head.

"Please man, don't do this!" pleaded the gang member with tears in his eyes.

"I'm sorry!" said Gordon "But I feel no remorse for you, because I've seen what quote 'thugs' do, it fucking makes me sick!" Gordon pumped his shotgun, aimed it at the back of the guys head, and pulled the trigger. The gang members head went forward, then fell back, brains falling out the newly formed hole. As attention turned towards James, he was seen firing shots, at another gang member he had tied between two trees. With each shot, the gang members body convulsed. The group began walking towards Laura, who still had her gun in the gang leaders mouth.

"Let's go Laura." said Jabo

"Alright!" said Laura

"So you're gonna let me go?" asked the leader, his words not completely clear because of the gun in his mouth.

"No!" said Laura, she pulled the trigger. Blood shot out of the back of the leaders neck, he then fell face fist while on his knees. As the group left the scene, four people walked up to the bodies of the Thugs. A man with orange hair, knelt down in front of the Thug leaders body.

"Nice work!" said the man, as he examined the hole in the back of the bodys neck.

"Come see this!" said the woman with the orange hair

"What is it Mary?" asked the man, as he and two other members walked to where Mary was standing.

"This!" said Mary, she pointed at the gang member Gordon had killed, the brains seeping out the hole.

"I see we're up for an interesting challenge!" said the man.

"Well let's take care of them!" said another man with orange hair.

"Ok let's go!" said the first man. They began running ahead hoping to catch Jabo and his group by surprise.

"Holy Shit!" said Jabo as they came out of a dense area of the jungle.

"What is it?" asked Laura

"Look!" said Jabo as he pointed into the distance at a large building with satellites, and what appeared to be a monorail rail. Excitedly, James began running ahead of the group. A shot was heard, and James fell to the ground. The group quickly ran over to James.

"James, you okay?" asked Jabo

"Yeah!" said James "Just got shot in the shoulder, nothing serious!"

"But from where?" asked Gordon. In the distance Jabo could see four figures, as they came closer Jabo could make out one of the figures, it was the woman from the water.

"So we meet again!" said Mary "Didn't think you'd survive our little cocktail party.

"Yeah real funny bitch!" said Jabo

"Bitch!?" said Mary "Why I'm surprised! When you first saw me you didn't say anything, of course I was naked at the time!" Jabo looked over at Laura, who gave him a very dirty look.

"Just who the hell are you?" asked Gordon.

"Well by the fact that we're all redheads," said the man "you can assume that we're going to have a name with a theme. Well, you're right!"

"So what do you call yourselves?" asked Gordon

"We are called The Flames!" said the man "We incinerate anyone who gets in our way!"

"Give me a fucking break!" said Jabo, a smile across his face.

"You dare to mock us!?" said the man. He looked at the other members in his group, "ATTACK!" he yelled. As one of the members ran at Gordon, gun in hand. Gordon quickly brought the butt of his shotgun up, and smashed it across the face of the group member. The collision had broken the

guys nose, he looked up as he held onto his nose and saw the barrel of Gordons shotgun. The last thing the group member heard, was the shotgun being fired.

"Your time on this earth ends now!" said one of the group members, as he stood over James, gun pointed at James face.

"Oh really?!" said James, as very slowly he pulled out a combat knife. "Well you see, I think you're wrong."

"And why do you say that?" asked the group member

"Well," said James "because of this!" Very quickly, James brought his arm up and stabbed the combat knife into the guys crotch. The guy let out a painful yell, as he fell to his knees. James pulled out his handgun, aimed it at the group members temple and pulled the trigger. The shot caused the group members head to move to the side, before falling forward into a puddle of his own blood.

"So what are you going to shoot me?" asked the gang leader as Laura had her arm around his neck, a gun aimed at his head.

"You know what?" said Laura "You're right!" Laura put her gun away and pulled out a knife. She brought the blade to his left ear, and sliced across. The gang leader made a gagging sound as he fell forward, blood running from his neck.

"You can't hurt me!" said Mary as Jabo had his handgun pointed at her. "I saw the way you were looking at me!" Mary began moving seductively towards Jabo, Jabo still holding up his gun. Mary walked right in front of Jabo, and began running a finger down his hand. "C'mon baby, put the gun down!" After killing the group leader, Laura stood up and looked over seeing what was going on with Jabo. She watched as Jabo slowly brought down his hand which held the gun.

"That's good!" said Mary. She turned around and looked at Laura, an evil smile across her face. Slowly Jabo brought his gun up, and aimed it at the back of Marys head. Jabo pulled the trigger and Mary fell forward, blood coming from the hole in the back of her head. Laura ran up to Jabo and wrapped her arms around him, as they held each other James and Gordon walked up beside them.

"Now let's take care of David!" said Jabo as they walked, heading towards the building.

***

"Alright David!" yelled Jabo as he kicked open the door marked control room, M16 in hand. "This ends now!"

"You're right, it does!" said David, as he got out of his chair, and walked up to them. "Congratulations, you've won!" Other figures sitting in chairs walked up to the group, they were all wearing suits. They walked up and shook each of the group members hands.

"Look what the fuck is this about?" demanded Jabo

"I'm sorry, let me explain!" said David "You see I'm introducing a new reality show on television. I already explained that the game was called The Hunt!"

"What," said Laura "you're saying everything that went on was being televised?"

"No, No!" said David "I needed to do a trial run off television, so I used you and the four other groups! From all you making it here alive, I see that it is going to be a success. I'm planning on starting the first episode in a few weeks, could you please come back and be one of the groups?"

"You're fucking sick!" said Jabo

"So...you'll think about it?" asked David. Jabo and the group walked past him. "Well, I'll let you think about it then! I will now allow you freedom, follow me!" The group followed David to a monorail, he led them all inside and they sat down. "Is there anything else you need?" asked

David.

"Fuck you!" said Jabo

"Hmmm" said David as he walked off the monorail. As he walked off, Jabo pulled out a grenade. As Jabo looked out the window, he saw all the guys standing and talking in front of the control room. As the monorail left the station, Jabo pulled the pin from the grenade and threw it.

"SHIT!" yelled David as the grenade landed in the control room, and exploded. As the monorail moved down the line, Jabo looked back to see the building blow up, a smile came across his face as he placed his head on Lauras chest, and she rubbed his hair.
