Hey guys here's another chapter! Not much to say so let's get to it!
Humphrey tried on his new clothes. The trench coat fit perfectly, and his boots were just right, the hat was a little big, so he put some paper towels on the inside and it fit like a glove. He grabbed his mare's leg and strapped it to his leg, and put his double barreled colt 45 under his arm on his side. Humphrey looked into a mirror and smiled. All of a sudden an alarm went off.
"Humphrey report to main building immediately in full battle gear for briefing!" Said a female voice. Humphrey just about jumped out of his skin, but he ran towards the door and took the elevator down to his garage. He hopped in the challenger and fired it up. He tore out of the garage and headed for the main building, squealing his tires as he went.
He saw Kate's red Camaro parked out front of the building so he pulled in and killed the engine. He jumped out and saw Kate entering the door. He ran and caught the door and entered the large building.
"Hey Kate! Where do we go for briefing?" Humphrey asked as he caught up with her.
"Oh, they must have assigned you too, follow me." She said. Humphrey followed her into a door that said 'briefing.'
"Typical." Humphrey said. They went inside and there was Zane, Raven, Garth, and Lily waiting for them in front of a large projection screen. Winston was standing in front of the screen. They both sat down next to the other four elites.
"Alright, we have confirmed dealings and movement in metropolis city. They are offering money and drugs to multiple thugs, thieves, and gangs around the inside of the square for the location and assassination of anyone from our group. This will be a several day mission, and you are not to stop until these thugs and gangs are eliminated, but the best way to do this is to find the wolf doing the dealings. Keep to the shadows, and don't get captured, because if you do, there is very slim to none chance we can get you back." Winston explained their mission. He waved his hand and everyone dispersed out the door.
"Okay rookie, follow our lead and help as much as you can otherwise hold back." Garth said as they walked outside
"Alright." Humphrey said. He jumped in his car and Kate jumped into the camaro, Garth and Lily into the dodge, and Zane into his mustang. Raven silently went to the roof. Everyone pulled out and took off towards the gate, Kate leading. The gate was open, and they flew out with ease. They had been driving for a short while when suddenly a flying vehicle blew past them. It turned sideways and stopped.
"Glad you could make it Raven." Zane said. The gunship hovered over them as they flew across the desert. The gunship had quiet jet engines that made it hover, and there were two miniguns mounted on the front. Hanging from the wings that held the engines were rockets, and above the cockpit were two artillery guns. On the sides were door guns that were rigged to shoot forward.
They drove for some time until Kate slowed to a stop. The others stopped as well. Raven landed the gunship and got out, as well as everyone else.
"OK let's get HQ set up and hidden, then we'll proceed into town the back way. We don't need any unwanted attention." Kate said. They all got to work setting up the HQ by extending canvas to the sides of the gunship. They covered the guns with cans and covered it with sand. Everything was set up, and the only way in was through a hatch in the top of the gunship.
"Alright let's move, we have a lot of work to do." Kate said. They all got inside their cars and followed Kate. Raven got in with Zane and they tore off with the others. It was near impossible to see the gunship. They circled around a large sand dune and there was a luminous city, with destroyed buildings and rubble everywhere. Streets covered I sand and buildings fallen. They circled around the back of the city and then they proceeded. They found a large garage and they parked their cars in the middle section of the building.
"It's a good couple miles to where the settlers are at so let's get walking." Kate said. So they took the stairs down and began walking silently on one of the streets. Straight towards the city square.
"Raven, go scout the next few blocks ahead, something feels odd." Kate said. Raven took the sniper rifle from her back and quickly disappeared into the rubble of a destroyed building. Everyone sat tight for a moment. Raven jumped and ducked past concrete blocks and rubble. She made it to a good vantage point. It was in the dark and high. Only she could find a place this good. She talked into an earpiece as she peered through the scope at the next several blocks.
"Alright I'm in place." She was heard through everyone's earpiece.
"What's it look like? Kate asked.
"Looks clear. Proceed. Installing surpressor." She said. Kate made a motion with her paw walked for about a minute or two.
"Wait, there's someone down there. Yeah there's a guy hiding in that Ally way." She said
"Does he look like he could be a threat?" Kate asked.
"If grenades count as threats then yes." Raven chuckled.
"Is there a way we can silently take him out?" Kate asked.
"No, he knows your there. I'll take him out." Raven said. She moved the crosshairs to the wolf's head, and squeezed the trigger. The only sound was the trigger moving. There was a loud 'flop,' and they saw a paw fall around the corner.
"Coast is clear the rest of the way, I'll meet back up with you on the next block." She said through the earpiece. The group continued forward and Kate drew a glock. She popped around the corner and pointed it at the dead wolf. She put it away and grabbed the belt of genades.
"Ever used one of these before?" She asked, handing Humphrey one and then dispersing them to everyone else.
"Once, but I know how they work." Humphrey said, stowing it away in his coat.
Hey guys that wraps it up for tonight, and I will see you guys later this week!
