Raiding Indian Hill
Chapter One. Arrival
Arkham Asylum/Indian Hill
Forty-five minutes after Gordon, Alfred, Bruce, and Selina left
Officer Hamilton ran up to Captain Bullock who was standing near his car.
"Excuse me sir, but the bus that escaped has been located,"
"Where is it?" Bullock asked as he turned to the map on the hood.
"Six miles south of here on Metz Street. We have two squad cars on site, but the bus is empty."
"Oh dammit, those monsters escaped," Bullock grumbled then grabbed his radio. "All strike teams in Arkham and Indian Hill, listen up. The bus has been found six miles south of here on Metz Street, I need all of you to stop what you're doing and head there now."
"Copy that," a strike team member replied.
Bullock put down his radio and turned back just in time to see more than several black Chevy Tahoes make their way onto the premises.
"Oh no, not these guys," Bullock muttered.
The occupants of the vehicles soon revealed themselves. Some were wearing blue jackets with three yellow letters on them while the others were dressed in full tactical gear and packing M4s.
"You there, are you one in charge?" a man asked as he approached Bullock with his partner.
"As a matter of fact, I am. Captain Harvey Bullock, GCPD."
The man responded by pulling out his badge and flashing it to him.
"Agent Anthony Baldwin, FBI. This is my partner, Agent Ashley Hayes and we need you and your people to vacate the area immediately.
"You feds are so self-righteous, but fine. Enjoy the freak show," Bullock replied then after making another call into his radio and grabbing the map, he got into his car and drove off."
"Pushing cops around is easier than taking candy from babies. Wouldn't you say, Ashley?"
"Yes sir," Ashley replied with a chuckle.
Shortly after the rest of the cops left, a convoy of flatbed trucks pulled up outside the gates.
"Ah, the boys in grey have arrived," Baldwin commented referring to the soldiers onboard. Four UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters arrived overhead and began circling around as one the of troops approached Anthony and Ashley.
"Agent Baldwin?"
"Yes,"
"First Lieutenant Patrick Cruz, 42nd Infantry Division. We are here to help secure the area and sweep both facilities for hostiles."
"My tactical teams will join you in that effort. And this is my partner, Agent Ashley Hayes."
"Ma'am."
"Lieutenant."
After shaking her hand, Baldwin asked him if anyone else was joining the party.
"We brought along a NEST team to get rid of that nuke for us and some guys from USAMRIID too. If you guys happen to find anything pertaining to viruses and or chemical and biological weapons, you are to turn it over to them."
"Got it," Baldwin replied then Cruz turned to his troops. There were well over a hundred present.
"Alright guys, before our friends can do their jobs, we have to do ours. First Platoon, your objective will be to secure the interior of Arkham and make sure all inmates are in their cells. If anyone of them refuse to play ball, shoot'em. The same goes for any Indian Hill monstrosities. Second platoon, you'll be with me clearing Indian Hill. If you see any and I mean any of Strange's creeps running loose, the same rule applies. Shoot'em. This city was almost nuked today and I am not in the fucking mood for games. Are any of you?"
"No sir," the tac team members and soldiers replied in thunderous unison.
"Excellent. Safeties off, let's go."
"Baldwin and Hayes watched as their tactical teams accompanied the troops into the building.
The ones heading for Indian Hill were circling around to the back to enter VIA the garage.
Note. NEST stands for Nuclear Emergency Support Team and USAMRIID stands for United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases.
