During the six days Ben was Unconscious
The snow fell hard as footsteps and heavy breathing echoed in the streets. Glaz followed the runner with his scope as he jolted sending the man sprawling to the ground, exhaling his breath Glaz turned back to the group as he saw Fuze slowly descend to the window with his cluster charge at the ready. "Glaz do you have visual on the room and hostage?"
"Da, the idiots forgot to shut the window I have a perfect line of sight on the girl." Blitz wedged himself of the conversation still going on.
"remember we cant harm the target, me, Buck and IQ go in and grab the hostage, Glaz clear the way coming out and Fuze cover our tracks and make sure nobody is coming" copy Buck, waiting for your go ahead and ill cover the exits and wait" Fuze spoke up after Glaz
"I copy Buck" Buck readied himself on the opposite side of a wall and pulled up his rifle as he moved his left hand from the barrel to the trigger of his skeleton key and counted off.
"going in it three… two… one" Buck pulled the trigger as fast as he could, creating a man-sized hole in a matter of seconds. Blitz sat outside of a barricaded doorway, quickly Blitz took a charge and slapped it against the barricade and moved to the side almost immediately after he attached it and blew the trigger.
IQ sat behind Blitz as he blew the trigger sending splinters in both directions, "we have an opening go, go, go" Buck shouted as Glaz trained the man on the right of the hostage, Blitz blew the door and rushed in behind his shield. Buck rushed inside no with his hand on the trigger ready to blow a hole into anyone he saw. Glaz let off the shot on the man on the right as the left looked around for the sniper. Buck rushed in front of Blitz onto the stairs to get to the second floor when IQ Shouted
"HOLD UP" Buck looked back at her
"what's the problem?"
"the stairs are giving off pings from IED's" "shit" IQ moved up with her face glued to her screen and pulled out her pistol, Carefully, IQ counted and scaled the stairs firing off shots wherever a ping was on her screen. Buck and blitz followed but made sure not to rush her till they cleared the stairs.
IQ closed her screen after scanning the area around them and ushered for Buck and Blitz to go ahead. They closed in on the room stopping at the doorway when a shotgun blew the bottom half of the door away "on step further and she dies!"
"you do that and you go down anyways"
"fuck off and tell me something I don't know"
"well we got a sniper outside"
"No shit why do you think I'm away from the window" Buck dropped a drone and took control to look around the room,
"well what do you want?"
"what do I want?"
"yeah for giving her up" buck kept looking at the screen as he peered left and right with his drone.
"there's nothing you could offer me"
"well most people ask for money"
"have you looked around? New York is a damn war zone"
"even in war zones people want things"
"you know what I changed my mind, bring me my daughter"
"we can do that where is she?"
"well see there's the challenge… she's in central park" buck looked at blitz and pulled out a flashbang
"well I'm sorry to hear that but it looks like negotiations have failed" "so they have" Buck tossed the flash bang through the hole as Blitz rushed inside charging off a flashbang himself before finishing him off with a bullet to the head. Buck followed as he made a line for the hostage.
Buck walked over and took the bag off of her head and the tape off her mouth " Thank you"
"no worries but we need you to come with us, we need to debrief you about what you saw at the event center"
"I'll tell you anything you wanna know just get me out of here" Buck brought his hand to his ear
"Glaz pack it up were Oscar mike"
"over and out Buck"
Two Days Later…
"I've told you everything I know why am I still here?" Buck sat on the opposite end of a table in the security wing with the hostage at the other end.
"listen I believe you, I do"
"than why can't I go home?"
"my boss needs to have words with you" The door slowly opened as Harris stood in the door smoking a cigarette
"hello miss?"
"Kate" Harris smiled stepping into the room
"well Kate, here's the situation two days ago you and three other people were taken by some looters or rioters whoever the fuck they are, apparently they took you for no reason right" Kate nodded as Harris got closer to the table "as well as the other two people were tortured, beaten and there throats slit yes?" Kate just looked at the table.
"now my question is why did they do that? I couldn't have been that they knew something" Buck stood up and walked out of the room closing the door in the process. "Kate look at me" Kate looked up at Harris with a scowl on her face "I'm not a nice guy ill admit that the only way I got where I'm at right now is by being good at what I do" Kate kept looking at him now with concern "now I know your not who you say you are, just like those "looters" were really men belonging to some group so I need to know right now, who you are and what you know" Kate looked down now in a sort of guilt and fear when Harris took his index and middle finger and brought them to her chin, bringing her gaze back to him. "you have one chance" Kate freed herself from Harris before she looked back at him again
"I knew em" Harris took a seat as a big smile shined across his face
"and who were they to you?"
"I used to role with them"
"in what sense Kate?"
"I was an agent, I burned my records dropped everything and joined up with this group called the last man battalion" Harris leaned back and took another cigarette out and lit it.
"who is that?" Harris took the cigarette and extended it to Kate who took it.
"a group of agents who went rouge and crazy fucks who think they can save the city"
"whyd you leave?"
"I was with a squad who were tracking some rikers when we came across a man and his son asking for help when my CO shot them both in cold blood, three hours later we're taking out first wave agents I don't remember there names though… after that I left in the middle of the night and I've been hiding ever since" Harris stood up
"ill look into this "last man battalion" you've been a great help" Kate blew smoke out of her mouth as Harris went for the door
"does this mean I can go?" Harris looked back as he opened the door "oh hell no, you're a defector the worst you'll get is a court martial and prison time, have fun. She's all yours" as Harris walked out of the room Kate watched as Faye limped in and closed the door.
Buck sat at a desk in the tech wing when he felt the presence of someone behind him "hey, I was gonna go check upon Ben, you wanna come?" Buck turned around as he saw IQ in civi clothes.
"hey mon im gonna try to get some rest, this whole hostage isn't really a hostage thing has me beat" Monika smiled
"alright well im just gonna go see if he's awake and go get some food" Monika left as Buck took his jacket gloves off
"thank fuck I don't have my jacket on" Buck stood up an walked down the steps and into the civilian area, passing by a couple fighting about god knows what Buck saw an open cot and made a B line for it. The smell of a cigarette stopped him in his tracks. "yeah Harris?"
"is that really how you greet me?"
"well seeing as how ive been running on 2 hours sleep, your lucky I gave you that"
"im hurt kid"
"what do you want Harris?" Harris took a puff before taking out a cylinder and dropping the cigarette inside, "I need you to see how a couple new operators do in the field"
"why now?"
"what?"
"I said why right now Harris?"
"well I noticed its daylight still, I thought maybe id catch you in a good mood and oh yeah, Cause its your fucking job to listen to me Seb, I want you to do this" Buck scratched his head as he gave Harris a frustrated look.
"im running on two hours Harris, I need sleep" Harris smiled as he walked off back to the security wing
"youll meet them tomorrow" Buck smiled as he turned back around and dropped his head in disappointment as the cot he was eyeing had a teenager laying down on it.
Monika stepped into the room as she saw Gwen reading something as she was curled in the only chair in the room. "how's he doing any progress?" Gwen looked up at Monika and closed her book.
"not yet he's stable but hasn't woken up yet"
"well that's good and bad, I'm sorry I'm Monika" Gwen opened her book
"Gwen" Monika sat on the bed "what's wrong Gwen?"
"nothing really" "I know when someone's got something on their mind, c'mon what's up?" Gwen closed her book again
"I guess im worried"
"Why's that?"
"cause he's saved my ass three times now and now he's hurt because of me"
"c'mon it's not your fault, it's the job he signed up for"
"I guess"
"hey" Gwen looked as Monika made eye contact with her "He knew what he signed up for, your not at fault for this" Gwen shrugged it off "lets go get some food you look like you need it" Gwen nodded as she got up and followed Monika over the to the refugee area.
