Hiya! So sorry this took so long but I have the worse case of writers block surrounding this entire fandom so this is going to be short but I figured I should put something up and see if you guys are still interested.
9 months later
General Hawk was in his officer filling out reports when Duke and Flint entered the room. Hawk looked up at them and put his paperwork away.
"Take a seat gentlemen," he instructed. The 2 officers did as they were told sitting in the seats in front of Hawks desk. He saw the troubled looks in there eyes. "Another security breach?" he asked though he already knew the answer.
"The 5th one this month." Duke replied grimly.
"I don't get it." Flint stated, "How is cobra getting their hands on our information?"
"Computer hacker?" The general offered, but Duke shook his head.
"Mainframe and Firewall already went over the whole system," he explained. "Its solid." Hawk sighed he'd been afraid of this.
"Then I guess we just have to face facts." Flint said sadly. "Someone's selling our information to cobra." Hawk nodded grimly.
"I'll call a meting of Joe high command we'll see if they've noticed anything and decide a course of action, no matter what this traitor must be brought to justice." Flint and Duke saluted the general before turning on there heals and exiting the room together.
"WHAT!" Sergeant Slaughter exclaimed, "Who is it? I'll make 'em wish they were never born!"
"At ease sergeant. We don't know who the traitor is." Hawk explained, "That's one of the reasons I called this meeting." He looked around the table the other officers to there credit looked relatively calm. "Has anyone noticed anything out of place? Someone acting strangely, sneaking around?" No one said a word even Beachhead who always seemed to have something to say was silent. Hawk turned to address the sergeant major directly. "Have any of the green shirts been behaving strangely?" he asked.
It was a simple enough question Beachhead knew. And it was logical one. It would be much easier for a cobra operative to infiltrate the Joes support troops than the Joes themselves. But Beachhead still felt anger rise up in his chest.
Hawk noticed the small patch of visible skin around the ranger's eyes turn bright red. For reasons Hawk couldn't understand Beachhead always took it personally when someone insulted his green shirts. Then again maybe Hawk could understand it. After all he knew how mad he got when someone said something bad about his Joes. And Beachhead wasn't exactly known for his level head. After several minutes of silence Beachhead finally spoke.
"Ther' aint no green 'irts capable o' this." his Alabama accent was a great deal thicker than usual, telling the others at the table they were swimming in dangerous waters.
Hawk decided pressing the issue would be a bad idea. Especially considering the fact that the sergeant major looked like he would love nothing more than to hit something. Mainframe who was sitting next to the ranger noticed and scooted his chair away hastily. Hawk pinched the bridge of his nose trying to fight the oncoming headache.
"All right." he sighed finally. "I want you all on high alert keep your eyes pealed for anyone or any group of people acting odd. No one is above suspicion." The soldiers nodded solemnly.
"Sir." Mainframe said speaking up. "I managed to pick up on the last transmission sent to Cobra. I couldn't trace were it was coming from on base but I did get the location of the Cobra bass it was transmitted to."
"So lets hit em hard." Slaughter said slamming his fist on the table.
"Sir if I may." Scarlet said speaking up. "It might be more effective to conduct a infiltration method before attacking."
"What did you have in mind Scarlet?" Duke asked frowning.
"I can go in before hand and hack their systems." She explained. "I should be able to find out who this traitor is." Hawk nodded.
"It sounds good. We'll begin preparations immediately. The rest of you are dismissed." The officers stood to go. "And remember this conversation cant leave this room." They all nodded. Hawk didn't have to tell them that.
So ya shorter than usual. Writers block is the worst! Please leave a review on your way out. If I don't get at least one review for this chapter there will be no more so it's up to you if this story continues or not.
