I know. I know. It's been too long since I updated. I was on vacation. I mistakenly though I'd get time to write. I'm sorry.
The highway was mostly clear as the group drove out of the city heading west on the 401. Everyone (except Rapunzel who was driving) was in the back of the truck, looking over the schematics of the building.
"Tink can you get high signals for us?" Elsa asked.
"I'm insulted you even had to ask," Tinkerbell said.
On the screen the colouring of the map changed and they were looking at blue masses with blips of red and yellow scattered throughout the compound.
"As usual Hans' has a small army with him." Merida said.
"There's a lot of persons here," Hiccup said pointing to a room near the center of the facility. "Think this is where Hans is?"
"That, or it could be where he's keeping whatever goods he's selling and wants to make sure it's properly protected." Jamie suggested.
"Anna what do you think?" Elsa asked.
"If I know Hans, and unfortunately, I do he wouldn't want to be localized to a room in the centre like that. He'd want somewhere he can observe as much as possible at once. Make sure he know's what's going on. Also somewhere high up if possible. He likes being above overs, metaphorically and physically.
"Here," Jack pointed to the top floor of a building, "It looks like the top level of a factory floor. Open and high up, everything he likes, according to you. And there are a few men up here."
"And what about this Gengis Kong?" Jamie asked, "He may be there."
"If he is, then all the better for us."
"Let's talk about how we're approaching the building." Elsa said. She leaned over the schematics, her brow creased slightly. "I think it will be best if we split into groups of two. And we'll come from the four sides. Here," She drew a circle on each side and lines moving inwards towards the main buildings. "The west side seems like it will have the most resistance so I'll go in from there."
"Whoa, hold up." Anna cut across, "Why do you have to be the one to go in from the west side?"
"It makes sense. Merida is best sniping which will best done from here," Elsa indicated to a point in the south, "You're small so it's best if you use the tunnel system in the east here and Rapunzel should come in from the north because that way is the road. It's too exposed for anyone to sneak in so she'll come in with the vehicle. She's the best at evasive driving out of the four of us. So that leaves me with the west."
"Uh…what about us?" Jamie asked. "The plans' good and everything but you didn't include us."
Elsa straighten up, "I know my team and where we'll each work best. I don't you so I'm hoping you'll tell me where you'll be best situated."
Jack started speaking, "If the tunnels are going to a tight fit then Tooth should go with Anna. If you want a kickass drive to take the north, then Hiccup is the man for you. He's the best driver I know. Jamie…you could go with Elsa, so that means I'm with Merida."
"Actually if Merida is going to be sniping I'd like to go with her. Personally I think I'm better at sniping than infiltration."
"You can tag along if you want kid. But when it comes to sniping I don't need help." Merida said.
"Then maybe I can learn something."
"Then the teams are settled then. Let's talk about the execution…"
"Okay I think that's the last guy outside the fence," Jack said as the guy he had in a choke hold fell still in his hands. Ten feet away Elsa was dusting off her pants, a motionless guard at her feet. She checked her watch and smiled.
"We're three minutes ahead."
"Let's get over that fence." Jack released his hold on the guy and he fell limp to the ground. Elsa skidded down the hill to get closer to the fence.
"It's electrified," She said.
"But no barbwire at the top," Jack said.
"Must have been easier for Hans to electrify the fence and set that up right around." Elsa tugged on her gloves, "Well, let's go." She took a running start at the fence, jumping up she grabbed onto the fencing just three feet from the top. There were sparks but the current couldn't get through the rubber of her gloves. She pulled herself up quickly, pulling up on her arms as she gripped the very top and flipped over, landing lightly in crouch.
Jack took a running start from the top of the small incline grabbing on the very top of the fence and vaulting over. He dropped next to Elsa. Elsa lifted a hand to her ear.
"Jack and I are over the fence." She said. Jack heard the response of the others in his own ear piece.
"We're in position and waiting the signal," Hiccup said.
"Anna and I are almost in. Just one last grate to weld through."
"The kid and I are in position, really to back you up when shit goes down."
"Why do always assume something bad will happen?" Rapunzel asked.
"Because with us something always goes wrong." Merida replied.
"Not always," Anna said.
"Always." Merida confirmed guys.
"Alright guys, let's not get too side tracked." Elsa said, smirking.
Merida laughed, "Try not to get shot."
"Try not to get punched."
"Let's go," Elsa motioned to Jack. They crept forward, using the bushes as cover. When the foliage ended they were at the edge of a parking lot. They backed up behind a truck. Jack got flat on the ground, looking under the truck.
"Two guys patrolling. The closest is roughly one hundred meters away, at two o'clock. The other is two fifty…maybe two seventy at one o'clock."
"Can we sneak around them?"
"I don't think so. There isn't much cover for us to get past. It might be best to knock them out."
"I take the one at two?" Elsa asked.
Jack nodded getting to his feet against. He held up three fingers and pulled them down, one at a time. As the pulled down the last one he and Elsa moved together, ambushing their respective targets and taking them out quickly. They dragged them back to the bushes and hide them before sprinting across the parking lot. They got to a door and Elsa crouched down to pick it.
"There'll be a lot more men inside." Jack said.
"You aren't scare are you?" Elsa smirked as she worked.
"Eh, me scared? Yeah right."
The door clicked open, "We're in."
They slipped inside, and found themselves in a storage room. There were more men in here, just as expected, but they decided sneak past these. Using hand signals and sign language only to communicate they got a stair case and moved up quickly. They used a ventilation shaft to get past more guards. As they were crawling through it Elsa's head hit Jack's booth when he suddenly stopped moving.
"Ow, hey. Is there a red light in front of you? Why'd you stop?"
He didn't answer for a second, then started crawling forward, "Please tell me you don't see what I see." He said.
Elsa moved forward, releasing he's stopped by a vent grate. She moved until she could look through it and Jack moved to the next one in the vent. Elsa gulped. They were above the factory floor. The room where'd they seen the large heat mass on the scan.
"If you're asking me if I see dozens people being kept in the room like prisoners…unfortunately I do."
"Damn it, what's he's planning to do with them?"
Elsa contacted the others, "We have a change in the situation here. There's a hostage situation."
