Chapter 09
Evasion
While the mission was a success, it came with a problem while trying to get out Reese saw a cop in danger of getting hit and took action, but now the cops were chasing squad 16 and Whitley down the road.
"Any ideas?" Kathrin asks.
"I'm working on it. Crystal don't stop for anything." Reese says.
"Why?" Crystal asks.
"Because we are a bunch of seventeen year olds with military grade weapons with us, and officially we don't exist nor does the Predator program." Reese says back.
"Radios are still jammed." Jack says.
"No they are not Jack look at the cops they are communicating with each other." Reese says.
"So?" Jack asks.
"So that means find a frequency that we can use to call back to home base." Reese says back.
"Right." Jack said.
"Cops are closing in." Kathrin says.
Reese then looks in the rear view mirror to see that there are five cop cars chasing them, and from the looks of it the lead car is going to PIT them.
"That's not good." Reese groans.
"What?" Crystal asks.
"Well they are going to PIT us and well we can't get caught." Reese says as he unholsters his handgun.
"What are you doing?" Crystal asks.
"Buying Jack some time so we can get out of here." Reese says as he takes aim at the tires and fires.
BANG! BANG!
That made the lead car swerve and get back a good distance.
"Well what you did make them back off but now they are calling for more back up." Kathrin says.
"How do you know that?" Reese asks.
"I found the radio frequency that they are using." Kathrin says back.
"Good stay on it and inform Crystal of their movements so we don't get boxed in." Reese says back.
"Got it, Crystal take a right they have a spike trap up ahead." Kathrin says.
Crystal then nods and swerves to the right.
"Jack how are we doing?" Reese says.
"I can't seem to find the emergency frequency that Atlas forces use to call for help." Jack says back.
"Umm give me a second." Reese says as he thinks.
"Car." Kathrin says.
"For the love of augh." Reese says as he shoots at the tires.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"I CANT THINK WITH ALL OF THE NOISE YOU GUYS ARE MAKING!" Reese shouts at the cops.
BANG! BANG!
Was the response that Reese got back.
"Looks like they are going to shoot back now. Um try frequency 656.76" Reese says to Jack.
After a little bit Jack started to talk on the radio.
"This is squad 16 we are getting chased by law enforcement and we need assistance ASAP!" Jack says on the radio.
Meanwhile at the Threat Assessment room.
"Scan all radio frequencies and get them patched through to this room." Winter says to everyone in the room.
"I can't seem to get the police off of squad 16 tail, they want them." Ironwood says to Winter.
"Um hate to break in but I think I found a frequency they are using." The intern said.
"Well get on it." Winter says.
After a few minutes something came thru.
"This is squad 16 requesting assistance we are being pursued." Jack said over the radio.
"General Ironwood here squad 16 what is your situation?" Ironwood asks.
"Currently all teammates accounted for plus the VIP, the only bad thing is that we are being chased by the police." Jack says in one breath.
"Command copies all, stand by for further instructions." Ironwood says as he takes off his head set.
"Give me options." Winter says to everyone in the room.
Then the room was alive with rapid typing that was being inputted into the smart computer and hopefully it can give them an solution.
Then after some time it gave them something to work with and it didn't look good.
Solution go to the bridge at 26th street and jump.
"Your kidding me right?" Winter asks Ironwood.
"Recompute." Ironwood says to the intern.
Calculating…. jump off the bridge.
"Oh boy they are not going to be happy." Winter says.
"Winter to squad 16." Winter says over the radio.
"Go for Jack of squad 16." Jack replied back.
"Um go to the 26th street and find the bridge and wait for further instructions." Winter says.
"Got will relay to commander." Jack says back then something else was heard.
BANG! BANG!
"Shit that was close. Look out for that technical keep your eyes on it Kathrin." That was Reese the radio picked up his shots.
Back at Reese.
"What do we have Jack?" Reese asks.
"We are to proceed to the 26th street and go to the bridge." Jack says back.
"That's it? Well let's get to it." Reese says to everyone.
"What about me?" Whitley asks.
"Keep your head down, and if I need you to do something else I'll be sure to inform you ahead of time." Reese says.
Whitley then got his head down and not to soon ether a dust round just entered through the back window and penetrated Reese,and made the front windshield a light shade of red.
"AUGGGGGG! IV'E BEEN HIT." Reese shouts.
"Where?" Kathrin asks.
"Left side under the lung." Reese says back.
Kathrin then put herself on the center seat of the car, and started to treat Reese.
"I'm going to give you 50cc of a anesthetic so you won't be in pain." Kathrin says.
Reese just nodded while in pain.
Kathrin then administered the drug and Reese then felt better.
"Man I'm so mad right now." Reese says.
"Sir hate so give bad news." Jack says.
"What is worst we are on a bridge about to get out of here." Reese says.
"The police blocked off the other end and are now closing in on us now." Jack says.
"Fuck! Crystal stop the car." Reese says.
"Are you crazy?" Crystal asks.
"JUST DO IT!" Reese orders back.
The car then came to a full stop and now everything is now at a stand still.
"What do we do now?" Jack asks.
"Get out of the car." Reese ordered.
Then everyone silently got out with Whitley in the center of them.
Now there was nowhere to run squad 16 back against the guard rail with the cops closing in.
"Unknown persons put your weapons on the ground and step away from the hostage." The police captain said over the intercom.
"Not a chance." Reese whispered.
Reese's mind was now racing trying to figure a way out of this problem with the hopes of evac coming.
"Reese." Crystal says.
"Yeah." Reese says back.
"I don't think evac is coming." Crystal says.
Reese was about to say something but then realized she was right there is no evac.
Reese then looks over the edge.
"Looks like we don't have another option." Reese says.
"What do you mean?" Whitley asks.
"Whitley jump." Reese says.
"What? I'm not doing that!" Whitley says in shock.
"Jump!" Reese says again.
Whitley then groans and climbed the guard rail and jumps.
"WAIT! STOP!" Shouted the police captain but to late Whitley was gone.
"Jack, Kathrin you next." Reese says.
They jumped without hesitation, but now the cops were now moving.
"Crystal let's go!" Reese grabbed Crystal hand but not before hearing more gunshots.
WAP! WAP!
Reese then felt a round enter his right shoulder and saw at the same time Crystal get hit in the abdomen area.
Then the next thing they both hit was water.
30 seconds earlier at the Threat Assessment room.
"Winter squad 16 are now cornered." The intern said.
"I can see that thank you." Winter said back while sweating.
"They got to jump it's their only chance." Ironwood said.
Then the thermal imaging then showed them jumping, and at the same time seeing the last two get shot.
"NO!" Winter shouted.
Back at Reese.
It was both cold and hot at the same time, cold because of the water, hot because of the dust rounds that are in him.
Then he surfaced from the water and just in time to see Crystal screaming in agony from getting shot.
"AUGH SHIT! THAT HURTS LIKE HELL!" Crystal shouted while Reese made his way to her.
"It's ok I got you." Reese says as he wraps his arms around her so that he can swim both of them to safety.
Then Reese saw Jack, Kathrin, and Whitley waiting for them further down the river.
"Guys help me with her, she is is great pain Kathrin administer drugs." Reese says.
"Got it and what are we going to do after I'm done here?" Kathrin asks.
"We keep moving the police force is probably searching or us." Reese says.
Then after a few minutes Jack then grabbed Crystal from off the ground and started to move with Reese.
"Squad 16 come in." Winter said on the radio.
"16 here." Reese says back.
"Status?" Winter asks.
"Well 2 teammates wounded one got hit twice, the other two unharmed, and VIP is cold but unharmed." Reese says back.
"Who got hit twice?" Winter asks.
"Me. Send me the location for pick up." Reese says.
"Pick up is located one mile north of your position, someone will pick you up out." Winter says as she hangs up the radio.
Reese then puts in the passcode into the radio where it will overheat and detonate to keep the program a secret.
Sometime later at Jacques house.
"Where is my son, your team is incompetent I should have never have hired them!" Jacques shouted at Ironwood.
"Sir as I told you team 16 has the situation under control." Ironwood responds back.
"Well they are in deep trouble when you get your hands on them they will….." Jacques was about to say but was interrupted.
BANG!
That was the main door to his office got kicked open.
In the doorway stood squad 16 in their suits all ragged and torn in some places dirt and some other stains on their outfits,and two squadmates shot and bleeding.
Reese then limped over to Jacques and looked him straight in the eye.
"Mission accomplished." Reese said before he passed out from the days events.
