I come to the door where the sniper was and know that in order to take him down we have to carefully go through the door without getting blown up. "Boss we made it to the door. How should we proceed?" I asked.
"Carefully?" Jaques said in the other building.
I turn to Laila, "Do you have a mirror that can fit underneath the door?"
She nodded and brought it out. She slides it underneath the door and looked what was there and found a thin wire that could be triggered if the door would open. "Let's cut this thing." Laila demanded in whisper.
"Cutting the trigger." I spoke into the com, we proceeded to cut the string.
In the building across the street, Machine managed to get the door open, but found a fridge and an oven full of bombs inside. "We need to clear the building there's enough bombs here to take this entire building down." Machine yelled.
"Is there a timer on it?" Jaques asked.
"Yeah, less than thirty-five minutes."
"Merde." Jaques whispered. "Do you think you can disable it before it goes boom?"
"This bomb is highly complicated and much of the wire are identical it would take me an hour minimum boss we got to evacuate." Machine explained, "Oh no."
"What is it?" Cooper asked.
"There is a trigger on here it can be blown remotely." Machine reported.
"Merde." Jaques swore. "We need to evacuate the building immediately."
"Already on it." Cooper said. "We need evac to evacuate our current address."
Suddenly a cackle was heard on their radio. "Do you really think that you can outwit me?" The room was dead silent except for bomb ticker. "I have already acquired my first kill, say good to your team because I know that each of you will be within my sights sooner or later."
"Alright cellphones only, the subject is intercepting our radio conversations."
"Roger that." Lala replied.
"Figures you would try that." Cole said through the radio.
Copper checked his phone and saw that there was no signet. "What the hell."
"A little device I managed to find, comes in handy when you have an opponent who uses cell phones in order to communicate." Cole said as he chuckled.
Sadie's P.O.V.
I could hear everything that was going on. We both knew instantly that the next trap moving forward would target one of us. I knew what I had to do. "Lala I will scout to find where the subject is."
Lala just looked at me like I was crazy. "How do you suppose we do that without you getting shot?"
"I don't know? But what else can we do?" I asked in response. "There is a bomb where our team are as well as civilians and we don't have the element of surprise as he is a sniper."
Thankfully we keep our voices low enough, so no one can hear us After a few moments, Lala finally agrees and I look at the mirror and see that the mirror was at a slight angle. I found the bullet in the floor. Using my knowledge of bullet trajectory, I know the bullet came from the upper left. I slowly crouch and I practically crawl to the window to find my hunch correct and see that the sniper is ready to fire at us. I take out the bag I have been carrying on my back and take out its contents, my sniper rifle. I assemble it and went towards Lala whispered a message to her.
"Are you sure about this?" she asked.
"It's the only plan we have." I said. "The subject has set up a bomb that will go off in 30 minutes."
Lala looked down. "Ok, our plan is in motion."
Lala then exited the room heading towards the floor where the sniper was. Sadie set up her sniper rifle up at the best possible spot. Even though it's the best spot, I couldn't get a good shot because the angles favor the person on higher ground, and since I am facing up , he is most likely to win.
Third person p.o.v.
Jaques, Cooper and Machine were still in the same positions they were in when Simon was murdered. "Boss I have located the subject and am in position for a scorpio, what are you orders?" Sadie asked.
"What there is no way you could be in position to take me down." Cole shouted in the radio.
"I see him sir still trying to get a clear shot." Sadie said in response.
"Get him and keep him in your sights." Jaques ordered.
"Yes sir." Sadie responded.
"From where you are there shouldn't be any way that you can spot me."
"I see the subject as well I am calling for the building to be evacuated." Cooper said as he went to his radio. "We need an immediate evacuation of the building and the surrounding buildings as well."
"Your forgetting that I still have the advantage."
"Boss I have a clear shot." Sadie says.
"Your bluffing." Cole bragged.
"Braddock, Scorpio." Jacques said through the radio.
"She de-…" Cole started but didn't finish, as a bullet from Sadie's Sniper.
"Subject has been contained." Sadie said through the coms.
"We need immediate evacuation" Cooper requested.
Sadie's P.O.V.
I see what looks like a brown blur, but I knew somethings up. So I go back to the brown blur and focus on it and it clears to show that it's a head. The face I recognize as Cole's and I have him in my sights with a clear shot. "Boss I have a clear shot."
I don't hear anything until "…Scorpio." I pull the trigger.
I watch as the bullet hits Cole on the head. "Subject has been contained." I said.
After about 20 minutes we hear something that makes us cheer. The bomb has been disabled. So we met back together and handing over my sniper to Internal Affairs. After about two hours of interviews and paperwork the team and I went to a bar to have some drinks. We spent about two hours doing that and talking before went home. My home is a tiny apartment not too far from the station, and I can easily walk there and back. I check my phone for any missed calls and voice mails. I find a voice mail that my dad had left and deleted it. I have with my dad ever since I was 16, and it hasn't gotten any better. I could tell that dad did not want me to join the military so more the bridge between is burning down. Over the years I just got so busy that we stopped talking to each other. I'll listen to his voicemails once in a while, but I don't know. Tomorrow someone is coming in to evaluate me. Being the new person on the SRU probably has something to do with it, and now I'm on the top squad, so it's not unreasonable that I should be put under more scrutiny to make sure I'm the most qualified. I take a shower, put on some sleep clothes and go to bed.
