Chapter 4
Boom, Head Shot
"Seras, do you have a visual on the hostage takers?" I asked over the radio. "Affirmative." She replied. "Take out the leader, we'll rush at the report of the bullet." I sat down my radio and took my position next to the front entrance. "Boom, Head shot." I heard Seras whisper into her radio as I watched the freak inside crystallize. "GO GO GO!" I yelled as I burst through the door. "Contact." I fired. "Tango down." The team Integra had assigned me for this op took down the rest. "Clear. Get these hostages out of here." I told my team and walked out. This operation took a total of three hours before we could get the go ahead from London PD to take down the freaks.
I walked over to the APC (Armored Personnel Carrier) that Seras was perched on top of cradling an m21 sniper rifle. I grabbed a bottle of water out of the cooler inside. "Well, another job done right." I looked up at Seras. "Oh don't give me that look. It's Sunday, we can't drink tonight!" I gave her a questioning look as I lit up my usual 'after op' cigarette. "Fair enough." I said and sat down. "TANGO! TANGO!" Someone yelled from inside as a freak ran out the front door. I immediately stood up and took aim. I squeezed the trigger and the freak dropped. "Who missed this one?" I yelled into the building. A fresh recruit walked up and hung his head. "I..I did, sir. He was in the back room, hiding under a desk." He explained. "Fine, go finish helping with the clean up process. You'll be fine." I said and sat back down.
Ten minutes later I was back in my room at the Hellsing mansion. I found a bag of transfusion blood sitting on my desk next to my laptop. I tore it open and guzzled ever drop as fast as I could. This insatiable thirst I'd been feeling was nearly quenched by this one bag, but I craved more! What had I allowed Alucard to do to me. "That's natural." I demonic voice whispered from behind me. "Jesus, Alucard! Don't sneak up on me like that!" I nearly jumped high enough to hit my head on the ceiling. "He he." He chuckled. "I've been meaning to ask you, am I immortal now?" I looked at him with as serious as a look as I could muster in the face of evil himself. "You tell me. Boom Head shot." He put a lead round into my forehead and I collapsed, two minutes later I recovered. "OW!" I yelled at him. "Until next time." Alucard said then faded through the wall.
I laid down to ponder the day and was soon passed out until the alarm rang out through the building. My radio buzzed, "Mr. Talin, report to the conference room immediately!" I sat up and put my boots on. "I'll be right there, Sir Integra." I ran upstairs to find all the high-level members of Hellsing gathered at the table. "Former SAS members who've been turned into freaks are attacking the London Tower!" A man in a brown suit whom I didn't recognize announced. "We need Hellsing to enter the facility and eliminate them." He finished. "I'll alert my team. Have a chopper team and two APCs standing by in ten minutes we'll roll and defuse the situation." I said and turned to leave.
Ten minutes later I was seated in the quick-jump seat of a stealth chopper. "Pilot, ETA?" I radioed to the cockpit. The crackley reply stated "Thirty Seconds." Seras and I would be first responders with the two APC teams following shortly. "Be ready to jump, now!" I said and leapt from the chopper to the deck thirty feet below. "Breach charge." I said to Seras as she began digging in her pack. We planted the charge. "On Zulu." I wiped my brow. "ZULU!" The door blew and we entered, a two man team, ready for anything.
