CHAPTER 2: ASSAULT ON FLOOR 8
Geoff
Geoff climbed down the ladder in the non-functional elevator shafts. He entered the ventilation at the bottom, and got into the lobby. He overheard talking;
"-now. Yeah, hurry it up, people might see!" Said one of the commandos.
"All windows locked and secured. Awaiting arrival of John!" One of the men walked up and said to another.
"Okay, lets get him" He replied. The walked up.
In Geoff's vision, there were about 7 guards, plus some dressed up as maintenance, locking the doors, and boarding them up.
Some men dressed in all black, with body armor, walked up, carrying black boxes. There were about 70 pounds of explosives. They set the bombs up all over the lobby. With 70 pounds at key locations, this building would fall fast, and easily.
Geoff needed a weapon. He climbed back up the elevator shaft, to floor 5.
CJ
CJ was one of the many, many people held hostage. There wasn't anything he could do. The has to be about 15 guards on the level, full of people, plus some had explosives, who would commit suicide, and take all of the hostages with them. Only a head shot would take them down, or they would blow themselves up. CJ was on floor 36. The guards were patrolling the area, around the hostages, each with MP5's and M4's.
Geoff
Floor 5 consisted of offices, he would have to stay low, to stay out of sight. With the lights out, it made it easier to hide. Geoff glanced at his watch, it was 8:03 a.m.
He climbed out of the vent. He was in a dark room. He opened the door, no one in the corridor, he walked slowly, and listened. No footsteps. He continued into the middle of the office walls, someone was around the corner, he could hear him. Geoff quickly hid in of the offices, a man in green walked around the corner, past him, wielding a pistol.
Geoff came up behind him, smashing his fist into the back of his neck, nearly killing him, he then grabbed his head, and cracked his neck. He took his 9mm, and a combat knife. To hide the body, he quietly moved it into a dark office, out of sight. He was now armed. He headed for the vent.
He reentered the elevator shaft, and went up another level. Now on floor 6, he got out of the vent, no one was around. He walked foreword, a knife in his left hand, the pistol in his other, he was holding them in a way, so he could easily switch between gunfire, to his knife.
As he walked down the corridor, another person walked in front of him, a stab in the neck silenced him, but someone heard the body fall to the ground, who responded by saying "What was that?"
As he headed towards the noise, he spotted the body. "We've got one casualty! And intruder, on level si-" His words were cut short, but a stab to the neck.
"Come in?" The guy on the radio responded.
The Roof
It was 8:21 a.m. A Chopper approached the buildings top. It landed, a man named John Ennered, got out.
"Nice to see you again." On of the commando's greeted him.
"You too. Let's get started, shall we?" John answered. These people weren't Russian.
They continued into the building. The chopper unloaded a lot of equipment. They went down to level 25, and set everything up.
"We've got one casualty! And intruder, on level si-" a soldier said on the radio.
"Com in?" The commando responded. "Are you there? Answer me?" He pointed to a soldier, "You, get some on level six, see what's going on!"
Geoff
Geoff heard people coming. He ran down a hallway. The lights came on, with everyone in the building on a few levels, and the security systems disabled, it was safe for the power to be turned back on.
This was a danger for Geoff, he was visible now. In no time, the guards that were coming spotted him. He dove down, dodging the gunfire.
"We have the intruder! He's on level six!" A soldier reported, over gunfire.
"Block him off! Kill him!" The commando answered.
As three more men entered the room, Geoff was up against 5 of them. He ran with his head down, as the bullets flew over him, he periodically shot at them, one of their men fell. He came to a wall, so he headed towards the men, then hid behind a wall. From here, he shot back, crossfire between them tore the environment up.
The floor was covered in bullet holes, office papers, and a few bodies. After some more fire was exchanged, Geoff took out 2 more, while they were reloading.
As the other two reloaded, he ran closer to them. Then, he hid, until they emptied their clips, and had to reload. During that time, he ran up to them, and grabbed his arm, twisted it, then grabbed his head, he was now being used as a hostage, the other soldier hesitated to shoot, so Geoff took him out, then snapped his hostage's head.
Footsteps were heard as a group of soldiers came down the stairs, Geoff quickly grabbed the MP5's and got into the vent.
He climbed up to floor 8. He could see a group of them around a table, looking over maps, this floor was ths size of two, with a catwalk over the middle, and along the sides, with big windows at the back, next to a staircase, and 4 pillars on the floor. There were a lot of guards, at the main stairway. He climbed up another level.
"We can't find the cock sucker!" A man over the radio said.
There were 5 commandos in the room, on replied "what do you mean? Find him and kill him!"
"He took out seven men!"
"How could that happen?"
Up on floor 25, John was listening to the conversation. He looked at the commando's leader. "I though you said your men were good?"
"They are⦠That man has to be specially trained, no normal person could take out seven of my million dollar mercenaries." He responded.
Geoff was now on the top catwalk, one guard was walking in the opposite direction. With two MP5's, Geoff fired and took him out, he fell of, landing on some men.
Geoff fired, and dove for cover, as the group of 13 men on that level started to fire back. 4 fell to the floor, in a bloody fall.
"HE'S HERE! ON FLOOR 8!" One shouted over the radio.
"KILL HIM!" The lead commando shouted. "GET SOME MEN DOWN THERE!"
Some headed up stairs, Geoff, laying down, took them out on their way up, two of the four that died while coming up fell out the giant window, which was shattered by the gunfire.
There were five men left, and more on the way. "Eat this!" A grenade flew towards Geoff. He jumped off the catwalk, down to the men, taking cover by flipping over a table. They exchanged fire, until two more men fell, three to go.
There was a body in a pool of shiny red blood next to Geoff, he took his ammo, a grenade, and a smoke grenade. He chucked the smoke grenade, followed by the grenade. A gray cloud filled the room. The grenade started a fire, and killed the three men.
One of the elevators opened, three men came into the smoke. They all blindly fired into the gray blob of smoke, Geoff fired back, then snuck into the ventilation while they weren't looking.
The smoke cleared. "Where the hell is he?" On yelled.
"That prick better not have escaped, if he get to the hostages, we're screwed!" Another responded.
Geoff climbed up the elevator shaft. He needed to find out where the hostages were.
