Thermite sighed as he looked at his fellow operators that were in the common room. Sledge had the genius idea of how no one could be able to take on a hostage situation alone and complete it in under two minutes. Unfortunately, Ash immediately had said that she knew someone who could do it. Sledge immediately questioned her claim, prompting her to show him the person who she claimed to be able to complete such a feat.

"Right then, follow me." Ash said as she rose from her seat, Sledge standing and following her, soon followed by Thermite as he shook his head back and forth. Ash soon stopped in front of one of the doors at the dorm-like bunkers, her fist knocking against the wooden door.

"Yeah?" Called a voice from inside the room, Ash stopping her knocking after the voice sounded.

"Can me and some friends come in?" Ash shouted, ignoring Thermite as he corrected her sentence. Soon a loud thud sounded from behind the door, followed by what sounded like a gun being fired. After a short period of time after the gun shot sounded, the person he was in the room opened the door, revealing Fuze, fully dressed in his combat armour except for his headgear.

"Sorry bout that, picked up my gun instead of my breakfast." Fuze said as he held a banana, eating the piece of fruit after his explanation.

"How is that your breakfast? It's past midday." Sledge asked, confused to why the man in front of him was eating breakfast at lunch time.

"It's past midday? Must've forgotten to set my alarm." Fuze said sheepishly as he finished his banana.

"Sledge here has a bet for you Pun-Tang." Thermite said as he pointed to Sledge, making Ash and Sledge look to him.

"What did you call him?" Sledge asked, confused about the man's nickname.

"Pun-Tang? It's after his drill thingy's. They make a Pun-Tang sound." Thermite explained as he walked into the room and picked up one of the devices in question.

"Cool." Sledge said.

"So, what's this about a bet?" Asked Fuze as they all started to walk to the common room.

"Sledge thinks that no one will be able to complete a hostage situation alone and under two minutes." Ash said as they walked into the common room, Castle, Mute, Pulse, Doc and I.Q. already in the common room.

"That's all? Not much of a bet." Fuze said as he sat on the couch next to Doc and Pulse.

"What's this about a bet?" I.Q. said from her standing position at the small bench in the room, her hand spinning a spoon in a mug.

"The bet is to get you into my bed." Ash said seductively as she walked over to I.Q. and put a hand on the German's rear, giving a light squeeze. I.Q. turned around almost instantly and slapped Ash across the face. Anyone would have thought it was meant to hurt Ash, but if they looked close they would notice they smile gracing I.Q.'s face.

"What is it really?" Castle asked as he cleaned his pistol on the small table in the room.

"Sledge bet that no one can complete a hostage situation alone and under two minutes." Thermite said as he sat down across from castle. Thermite pulled out his pistol and started to pull it apart, cleaning it like Castle.

"Sounds easy." Pulse said.

"That's what I said." Fuze replied.

"So what are they stakes?" Doc asked.

"He gets too use all of his stuff, but only the stuff that he is accustomed to, nothing else." Sledge said, getting a nod from everyone in the room.

"Okay, I'll get ready." Fuze said as he left the room and walked out.

"He's fucked." Castle said as he tested the sight on his gun.

"I think he might have it." I.Q. said as she slapped Ash again, the FBI operative having had another feeling of her ass, Mute nodding in agreement.

The next two days was quiet, Everybody had heard of the bet, and half of the teams were either betting for or against him. Soon there was an alert showing that there was another situation for them to take care of, everyone gathering in the briefing room to see what type of situation it was.

"Could we start?" Castle said over the noise of the crowd that had formed when all of the operators had gathered into the small room.

"Okay, It seems that we have a hostage situation at a boating club." The person who worked in the briefing room said, looking up to see everyone turn to Fuze.

"I'll go get my stuff." Fuze said as he turned around and left the room.

"What was that about?" The person asked, confused about what Fuze said.

"You not heard about the bet?" I.Q. said as she slapped Ash.

"Bet?"

I.Q., Mute, Castle and Sledge gathered around the screen that showed the camera feed of the drone that was following Fuze as he ran to the front door.

"He's screwed." Sledge said as Fuze pulled out his cluster charge and put it against the door, pulling the pin and waiting. The charge went off and inserted the grenades into the room, the drone detecting two kills.

"Two hostiles down." The operator said, Fuze having heard there shouts of alarm. Fuze then quickly broke the wooden cover on the door, walking in and freezing when he came face to face with a man that had a bomb strapped on his back. Fuze quickly raised his AK-12 and fired at the bomber, the man falling to the ground with only three bullets hitting him.

"Hostile down." Fuze said over the radio as he continued walking, till he found a wall that was reinforced from the other side.

"Found the hostage." Fuze said over the channel as he moved to a covered door that lead into the room.

"How does he know the hostage is in there?" Castle asked, confused at the man's leap in logic. Fuze broke the door down and entered the room, raising his gun and shooting at three terrorists that were guarding the hostage, a young woman.

"Ma'am, I'm here to get you out of here, okay?" Fuze said as he pulled her off the ground and held her close to his body in case anyone found them and shot at them.

"O-Okay." The woman said as Fuze started to walk to the extraction point, the point being where he started.

"You only got fifty seconds left bud." Sledge said over the radio as he looked at the little stopwatch that he had.

"Ma'am, we need to run to the extraction point, okay?" Fuze said to the woman. Fuze felt her hold onto him tighter as she nodded her head. Fuze called out now and they started to sprint to the extraction point, not stopping once. When the reached the point, Fuze put the woman behind a car that would stop her from getting shot.

"Ma'am, stay here." Fuze said as he pulled out his primary weapon and started to shoot at the hostiles that were swarming them.

"Well, he did it." I.Q. said as she looked at the stopwatch that Mute had put in front of her.

"With ten seconds to spare. I'll admit, he's good." Castle said.

"He's back!" Ash shouted into the common room as she walked in with Fuze.

"You did me proud. Sledge has finally shut up." Thermite said as he shook Fuze's hand.

"Like I said, no problem."
