Prologue: The Storm

I ran fast as I ran from the men coming at me with machine guns. I ran past a few villagers and they looked at me funny as I ran screaming with three guys chasing me with guns.

"Sammie! Where are you?" I cried. I ran around the corner and I hopped on the motorcycle that came up behind me. I threw my arms around the girls waist, and held on tight as she swerved around houses and people expertly. I hopped off as she slowed, and threw my bag to Angie who was waiting on the plane. She caught it and brought it up to her lab on the plane. Clara stood with her gun pointed at the guys running towards us. She fired three shots at them and all three of them fell to their knees, holding their foot. They cried out some inappropriate names, and she smiled.

"Thanks for playing boys." She smiled as we hopped on the plane.

"Okay, go fly the plane, Angie." I said out of breath.

"Yes, ma'am," She saluted. I went back to the cockpit with her, and put on my headphones, and she did the same. Everyone was on the plane, and I flipped a few switches and the plane started rolling. I pulled the joystick up, and the plane went up.

"Attention passengers, this is your Captain speaking. He, he, get it? 'Cuz my rank is Captain?" I laughed at my own rank joke. They all groaned. I looked away hurt. "Anyway, now leaving China, and going to California baby!"

They all cheered.

We are a military covert team that works for a very, very, very low profile government agency. The agency doesn't have a name other than the Agency. We were initiated after the attacks on September 11. We were based in San Diego, California, and the other bases are in Chicago, New York, Washington D.C., and Houston. Only a few teams are assigned to each city. And those were only the bases in the U.S. And, they aren't even bases. They're teams stationed in the city with each individual member of the team given an apartment, and the leader's apartment being the HQ of the team. If we were placed in a different city, then we were given the address of the team leader. The old leader of the team being moved would be second command then.

But why were we in China? We were grabbing a computer file filled with top secret government files leaked to some Opium Drug Lords who were looking to sell it. We stole it, and ran. I didn't have an exact plan, but I still got it.

So who were these crazy people who were following me? That would be my team.

Lieutenant Angelina (Angie) Luna is second in command in our team of four. She's the corpsman/scientist/mechanic in our team, and knows how to lead when I'm out at the moment. She keeps her black hair in a bun at all times, and wears glasses or contacts depending on what we're doing. She knows how to fly a plane, as do I. Hey blue eyes were lighter than mine, and she was pale just like me. She's my cousin, and doesn't like telling people that.

Staff Sergeant Clara Black is third in command, she's our ammunitions expert. She knows her way around every and any weapon that we need her to fire at people. She has long brown hair that she keeps parted to the side, usually wears sunglasses, and biker boots and a leather jacket. Her brown eyes show that she likes to have fun when her glasses are off.

Private First Class Sam Nickelette is the youngest out of all of us. She's learning how to fit into the group and is our getaway expert. She has this crazy blond spring-curly hair that looks perfect at all times. Her eyes are an icy blue, and are so full of love and happiness, but hide the evil and manipulative mind when she needs it while we're working with the enemy. She knows her way around pretty much any vehicle, and isn't afraid to use force if the time is right.

Then there's me. Captain Sally Storm as I'm called by my director. I long straight blond hair with raggedy side bangs that cover my left eye. I've got cobalt blue eyes that know hurt but see happiness. I'm the leader and combat trainer/petty thief in our group. I know how to fight off a whole army with just my bare hands, and can steal from any high-end con artist. I've had a difficult past, but never showed any of that to carry over.

We're a high end covert team, and this is our story.
