CHAPTER 1
*****Bandit's PoV*****
"It was supposed to be a routine job. We grabbed the package, secured the area, and prepared for hostiles inbound. We had done this a million times before, why would this go any different?"
*****2 days ago*****
*****Neutral PoV*****
In a suburban home, team Rainbow was preparing for an enemy assault. Bandit, Rook, Castle, Tchanka, and Mute were assigned to protect the asset, a defector from the white masks. They set up in the 2nd floor master bedroom and barricaded themselves off, leaving Rook. Castle, and Tchanka in the room with the asset while Bandit and Mute roamed the house. They had turned the one room into an unbreachable fortress, and thought they were untouchable.
How wrong they were.
Castle was watching the camera feeds being sent in from outside and saw the first hostiles. A small recon squad of 3 white mask foot soldiers. "Three hostiles, street side." He called out on his radio. "Roger, moving to eliminate." replied Bandit. He drew his smg and punched out a board in one of the windows. Leaning out, he saw straight to the backs of their heads as they prepared to breach the front door. 'Not today' thought Bandit as three bursts rang from his gun, stopping the breach before it could even start.
"Threat eliminated" He radioed in, awaiting for the next call out. He continued his patrol of the house, checking every inch for signs of possible entry, all while worrying why no one responded to his earlier elimination. He pulled out his radio again. "This is Bandit, calling for a coms check. Report."...
Silence.
Meanwhile in the hostage room, they were all having similar problems. Rook was on the coms, calling out for a response from Mute or Bandit, but getting no response. Next to him was Castle, their temporary leader, flipping through all the camera feeds, looking for anything suspicious. He was beginning to get worried, seeing that there was no one approaching. "Hey Rook, any luck on the radio yet?" He called out. "None. It's like the just decided to go dark. You don't think something could have happened to them, do you?" replied Rook. "It's possible, but not likely. Their the best of the best. They wouldn't go down easy, and I haven't seen anything on the cameras since the first three came by. I think there might be something bigger going on here." said Castle. "Tchanka, you seen anything strange yet?" "Not yet. I haven't seen anything since Mute passed by ten minutes ago." was all Tchanka had to respond with. "Alright, I'm going out there to check. Something is definitely off here." said Castle as he approached the doorway. "Rook, cover the cameras while I'm gone. If you see anything, report it in." "Copy that." was the last thing said before Castle ripped down the barricade, opening up the room to the rest of the house.
