Author's Note: This will be the other story I will be writing alongside You're my Brother. I will be making chapters one after the other (You're my Brother gets a new chapter next.)
Mute couldn't believe what happened. The last thing he remembered was being affected by a flashbang. Now he was in a whole new place under the mercy of the White Masks. He expected to be killed. Mute knew very well that he was extremely valuable. Since he just came back to full consciousness, he knew he wasn't interrogated yet and hoped it wouldn't be anytime soon. He was surprised that he wasn't dirty but he was bloodied. Mute was eager to feel his body but his hands were tied behind the base splat of the chair. He was clearly stripped of his gear however, there seemed to be one thing left, his boots. Mute was the type of guy that had a secondary knife. In fact most of the operators that wore boots had them. A good as the moment seemed to be, there was still one problem. Mute needed to somehow take out the knife and get it too his hands. The knife was hidden well which meant it would take some effort to take it out.
Well now I'm definitely fucked. I hope my buddies at Rainbow can save my ass.
Mute realized that he never studied the room he was in yet. There was one door and no windows but it was well lighted. There was another chair and a table on his right. On his left there was another table that apparently had his gear. He heard footsteps in the hallway and the table was far enough to force him to make noise, he couldn't take any chances just yet. It was time to wait.
Meanwhile at Hereford Rainbow Six Complex
The miserable four man squad hopped out of their vehicle. Sledge had been shot seven times. Smoke wasn't as severely injured but was filled with grazes and many cuts which ripped his combat uniform all over. Blitz too was shot but his armor seemed to take more of the damage, leaving him in fair condition. Fuze was shot up just as much as Sledge while armor did what it could.
The rest of the team was waiting inside, hoping for news of a successful operation. A happy crowd turned into a grim and concerned one after looking at the squad. Doc tended to duty immediately but knew tossing Fuze and Sledge to the field hospital would be much better.
"Dominic, Keith, anyone, these people shouldn't even be walking right now," said Doc. Fuze and Sledge were heavy which called for strong operators, like Doc could drag them alone. Blackbeard and the Werewolf carried Fuze while Bandit and Castle carried the forty pounds heavier Sledge. They preferred to carry Fuze but the two SEALs zoomed ahead. Doc tended to Smoke while Blitz was in a good condition. Thatcher was the first to notice that someone was missing, he couldn't find Mute.
"Someone get my stuff," said Doc. Twitch went off to Doc's lab. Smoke noticed that Thatcher was staring at him. The older man was slowly moving towards him.
"Where is he?" asked Thatcher.
"He's gone."
"What do you mean he's gone?"
"They were prepared, they were waiting for us, they knew what to do, they fucking knew who was coming, and they got what they wanted."
"How?"
"I don't know, if I did that boy would be here."
"Don't tell me he's dead."
"I can't guarantee that he's alive." Buck who was known for being highly pragmatic, stepped into the conversation.
"They won't kill him Mike, they need him, and sometimes the younger ones are the easiest to extract information from."
"You'll be lucky if he's still at the site," said Smoke.
"Someone notify the director," said Buck. Jäger took the order and head off to the other building.
"I'm not going back to that hellhole even though I want him back," said Smoke.
"Marius flying there would give more time to save him," said Buck.
"That's one guy down," said Doc.
"He's only the pilot Gustave. I have a strong feeling a five man squad isn't enough while they're expecting us," replied Buck.
"Any suggestions?" asked Thatcher.
"I think it's best to give the new guys a chance," said Buck.
"I like wolves (Keith), I love the ginger boy (Greg), grenades will be necessary (Jacks), and not all blades are knives (Shelly)," said Smoke.
"That's four people not including Marius," said Doc.
"How about Dominic and Monika?" asked Thatcher.
"She's always ready," said Buck. The four guys spotted the partially hooded figure who stood by a few team mates. Smoke waved at the slightly older girl and saw her come towards him.
"If she's going, you better let me go," said Smoke.
"Save your feelings for later, lover boy. You also said you weren't going back," said Doc.
"But Monika's going, and I never get to go when she does," said Smoke.
"Go where?" asked IQ.
"On a date," said Smoke.
"Looks like the grazes really knocked the sense out of him," said Doc.
"I have Dominic you know, and he gives me a lot more than that," said IQ.
"Sounds like every night," joked Doc.
"Shut up Gustave, I'm sure we know how hard you try for Emma," replied IQ.
"Just shut up with the romance already. I'm sure Dominic can sense the problem from outside," said Buck.
"Only if I was," said a voice. Everyone turned back to see as Smoke sat up and found Bandit with his arms crossed.
"Looks like you're screwed James," said Thatcher. Bandit looked at his hands which had blood from Sledge.
"It's too bad these hands aren't covered in your blood James. They would be, but you're lucky due to your condition. Feel better Bond," said Bandit who gave a gentle pat on the boy's hair. Bandit was now walking away, assuming his duties were complete.
"Get back here Dom," said Buck.
"Do I have to carry James too?" asked Bandit.
"That would be nice actually," said Doc.
"Don't worry Dom, I hate you too," said Smoke.
"You're in the rescue op team, same for you Keith," said Buck who saw the man nearby.
"It better be a good squad," said Keith.
"Is Greg good enough for you?" asked Thatcher.
"I want Toby too, I don't hangout with him enough," said Keith.
"Where is he anyway?" asked IQ.
"GINGER!" yelled Keith.
"SHUT UP KEITH!" Greg yelled back.
"Get over here Greg," said Keith.
"That's better," approved Greg.
"Go fetch Tobias. If he doesn't come here, he's getting fucked," said Keith.
"I'll tell him you had enough respect not to walk in with bloody hands," said Greg.
"Just go already," said Keith who made sure to push him off with a fist.
"Why Keith? Just why?" asked Thatcher who was completely weirded out.
"Hey, I slept with Julien once," said Doc.
"I slept with Greg for a week," added Keith.
"I think Keith knows about Marius and I," said Bandit.
"I'm Mark all the way, well you know what I mean," said Smoke.
"Back up your buddies Sebastien," said IQ.
"Timur and I were too tired from brainstorming face paint ideas one night so, we ended up sleeping together. I swear he was so close that I felt his nose brush against my beard," confessed Buck.
"Let's clean our bloody hands Dom," said Keith who gave the blonde the eye. Bandit nodded and followed Keith off.
Upstairs, two floors up in fact, Greg found Toby asleep. He wanted to see hazel eyes awake but clearly it would take effort. So far, sitting on him didn't do the job so he referred to other ways of touch. There were a lot of dirty things he could do to Toby but it was probably best to steer clear of his bad side. Greg felt his dog tag which felt pretty cold while Toby's was warm. He noticed that Toby was sleeping without a blanket and perhaps a drastic change in temperature would serve him right. Toby Barker was just about unknowingly face the ice bucket. Since he was already on the third floor, he had easy access to the freezer room which did have it's share of ice. So the ginger fetched a bucket from his room and then invaded the freezer room. He didn't want to add water because it seemed a bit too evil to soak one's bed.
Toby was still asleep when Greg arrived with the bucket. Greg was wondering if he show throw it from distance and see what would hit or pile it right on top of his bare body.
Good luck Toby. You'll have to kill me another time of you're angry. I gave you chances and you took none, brace yourself. Oh wait, you can't hear what I'm saying right now.
Greg threw out the bucket's components from distance onto Tobias. An angry Tobias woke up to ice but also the sound of an alarm. It looked like Toby was going to kill him. Greg needed a moment to reflect.
He's probably going to kill me. Why the hell did I forget about his phone. Wait, I don't know the password. Damn it Greg, you're a hacker, you hack stuff, and now you failed.
Greg took his only option an ran away to the safety of the first floor. As angry as he seemed to be, Toby wasn't thinking exactly about Greg.
Great. Now I'll never know how that dream was supposed to end. Who put an alarm on my phone? I don't remember placing one. At least he didn't throw water onto me.
Toby got dressed into combat uniform, assuming that ice was punishment for not being ready for duty, something he did take seriously for his job at intel. Intel was a job that made him sleep whenever he got the chance although he did get satisfying breaks. He was the only operator on the team that was seen and used dual wield pistols, something he found necessary during some ops. Toby made sure there wasn't any ice on his bed and reluctantly let it melt on the floor, wishing it wasn't there at all.
Toby made it down to the main floor in which the hallway was filled with most of the team. He saw the director talking to Buck. Usually when the director came into team quarters, he had a good reason to, so it encouraged Toby to hear what he was saying.
"I trust you Cote, I know you'll get the job done, Captain," said Liam.
"Sir?" questioned Buck.
"Well you've just been promoted, I suggest you make good use of that, will you now?" asked Liam.
"Of course director," replied Buck. He was cheered by the rest of the team except for Blitz and Smoke who were moved to the field hospital while Fuze and Sledge were already there. Doc, using the doctor's eye had noticed that Blitz was hiding a leg wound and forced him off. He told him that it was "brave but foolish" for avoiding treatment. Although he didn't know it, the director had his phone under his possession. In front of Buck, Liam typed in Teddy's number.
"Call him if you need anything, I might be busy, and when it's over, tell him that too," said Liam.
"I don't know how you did it but you're good director," said Buck.
"Let's just say I took an opportunity. Now if you don't mind, Matt and I are off the London," said Liam. Liam walked out and sat in the back of a jet black Rolls Royce Wraith Black Badge. Matt and two others also got in and the car quickly drove off. Buck fell in love with the sight.
I wish I had a car like that.
Keith and Bandit came back and found Buck staring at a closed door. Keith deliberately slapped the Canadian in the back of the head.
"Ow," said Buck.
"I don't know what's so interesting about a door but I think it's a good time to get going. It's already 3pm," said Keith.
"Alright. Gather all the kids we need and take them to the armory," said Buck.
"Hey, only I can say that," argued Bandit.
"Well he is older than you as well as your crew," said Keith.
"Whatever," said Buck.
