The 6 men jogged silently towards the medium sized housed. Not saying a word to each other, they pulled out their pistols, all silenced. Slowly, 1 man stepped forwards to the door and peeped inside the tiny keyhole. All lights were out. He gave the signal, and stepped to the left side of the door. Another of the men went to the right, and one man took a run at the door, stuck his leg out, and kicked it open.

The 4 of the 6 men ran quickly inside the house, while 2 stood outside, watching the door.

The 4 inside the house knew they wouldn't have much time, they quickly split, and searched the rooms of the house. Suddenly a shot was fired from the hallway. It flew passed all the intruders, and smashed a glass cabinet, holding various trophies and picture frames. The intruders wasted no time, one raised his gun to the mans leg and fired it once. He fell to the ground in agony, but didnt let go of his shotgun. As the intruder who shot the man advanced to him, the man pulled his gun one last time. It connected this time, with the intruders head. There was no screaming, the body just dropped, as the clean white walls of the house were now covered with blood and brain.

The other 3 intruders quickly ran up to the man, and 2 pinned him down while the other stood over him, pointing his pistol at the mans face, and said,

'You spoke ill of President Hundga earlier today.'
"Well its all true!" Spat back the man, "Are you going to say that he is not a weak man? Look, he has to send you to do his dirty work! I hate that dictator, and I hate this place!"
"Wrong thing to say." Replied the intruder cooly. With that, he pulled the trigger, and watched as the bullet pierced through his skull, and out of side.

"Find his family" Commanded the man who had just pulled the trigger. The other 2 nodded, and walked up the hallway the man had come down from. It wasnt hard to find the dead mans family, as there was sobbing coming from one of the rooms. The 2 intruders entered the room, and came out a few seconds later, dragging a woman and a young boy, around 5 years. The intruder who shot the man walked up to the young boy.
"Your daddy was a very naughty man, and now you will also have to pay for his crimes."
"Dont listen to him Ruban, your dad was a national hero -" The wife began, but she was cut short, as the apparent leader of the intruders slapped her.
"President Hungda is a hero, your husband, was a scumbag."

With that, the intruders carried the screaming family members out of the house. One man was still standing watch at the door, while the other had gone and got the large black van the intruders came in. They flung the family members into the back ruffly, and then 3 intruders joined them, while the other 2 went to sit at the front of the van and drive it.

The van geared up, and then drove off out of sight.

And just like that, another family dissapeared in the middle of the night, not to be seen agian. What would happen to them? The wife, most likely raped and beaten sensless when not locked away in her cell. The son? Well, President Hungda doesn't snoop in on his prison guards private lifes, their likes and dislikes...

Would any questions be asked? Probarly not, people knew better. It was just another case of a family 'Moving houses in the middle of the night, because they didnt want to upset their freinds and family.'
