Illusion 12

Sarah rolled her eyes and swam away from was ignoring her so she swam over to talk to Monica and a sullen violet. Just as she was about to open her mouth to say something, the loud speaker came on. "All teams to ready room stat" said the man on the intercom. Sarah sighed and followed the girls out of the pool. Caleb swam over to the side when he saw them leaving.

"what's going on?" said Caleb "got to work someone will escort you back" said Sarah "then I'll see you tonight?" said Caleb. Sarah smiled at him."I look forward to it" said Sarah "see you later gorgeous" said Monica .Caleb blushed and didn't wave back but Reid did. Caleb smacked his arm when he watched Sarah's rear end a little too long while she left.

Pogue swam over to Caleb and Tyler promptly followed. "where are they going?" said pogue "something about working" said Caleb. He looked worried despite what he knew about Sarah's abilities. "she'll be ok man don't sweat it" said Tyler "thanks baby boy" said Caleb "So what gives with that violet chick?" said pogue "aw she's in to baby boy" said Reid "yeah but she's a bit psycho for my tastes" said Tyler. "what do you think their doing?" said Reid. "Who knows?" said pogue. he sounded like he didn't really care and the others glared at him.

Sarah waked into the briefing room followed by the rest of her team. The director, Agent Thomas was waiting for them to begin his speech. "ok what we have here is a hostage situation" said Thomas "we have twelve counted hostiles all noted terrorists so they don't care if they buy it" said Thomas. They passed out files while he was talking and Sarah perused hers while he laid out the purposed battle plan.

"offense 1 will take this route eliminate any obstacles and secure the premises" said Thomas "support 1 will provide cover, since its in san Francisco it's optimum conditions for ground cover" said the director. Sarah raised her hand as a team leader she was in charge of making sure they went over the details. "what about local law enforcement and the FBI?" said Sarah "they are being asked to stand down were handling this one" said Thomas "what's our designation?' said Sarah "homeland security, please make sure you wear your badge until we are inside" said Thomas "clean up we need you to handle suppression and neutralization you know the drill" said Thomas "all right dismissed, saddle up" said Thomas.

They headed towards the choppers. Sarah watched as the different groups put on Kevlar vests and donned uniforms to look like government agents. Sarah straitened her collar and slid a gun into the holster. Not that she would really use it but who knew. She looked at her girls; they all wore their game faces. Sarah smiled she actually missed this she realized.

"what's with the grin?" said Selene. Sarah chuckled "just relising how much I missed this" said Sarah "well welcome back to the game sis" said Monica they headed for the chopper pads. Mounted up in one of the choppers and sat back to enjoy the few minutes of peace before all hell broke loose. They flew over the city and Sarah got one glimpse of the golden gate bridge before fog obliterated it from view.

"so it begins" said Sarah to herself. They let the support teams off in one location about half a block from the action. Her team rappelled to the roof of the building and went in from the roof. Thomas was on the ground with support talking to swat commandeer, the police chief and the agent in charge of the FBI. Support was spreading out to do their jobs on the ground.

News cameras suddenly stopped working or had to get shots of the command center just as Sarah's team went in. they made there way down the stairs to the floor above where the hostages were being held. Sarah motioned for Selene to move ahead. Then for the rest as soon and Selene signaled that it was clear."Ok going ghost see you downstairs" said Sarah she vanished before there eyes and walked down the stairs.

The rest of the team hid while Sarah tapped on the door to get the guards attention. He looked through the window, he turned to walk away and Sarah tapped again. This time he opened the door. Sarah grabbed him and pulled him through the door. She blocked the door from closing and pushed the guard over the side rail. Sarah walked ahead of them and made sure no one would sneak up on them. They made their way to the office building where the hostages were being held. Sarah peered in and the unphased her hand out of view to the door but so her team could see it. She held up four fingers indicting there were four guys in the room.

Sarah tried her tapping trick again and one of the men opened the door to check. "what the heck?" he said. then something hit him and knocked him back into the room. The other three raised there weapons and pointed it at the door. Sarah moved towards the other three and knocked one out with a swift blow to the back of the neck. The remaining two pointed there guns at her location but didn't fire since they saw no one there.

Sarah moved around behind them and kept herself between them and the door. One of the men was nervous and his eyes kept glancing around trying to find her. Sarah hit him in the back of the knee. He turned and fired, that's when the girls came in. Selene came in flinging electric bolts. The remaining two gunmen hit the floor. One of the ones Sarah had knocked out came too and reached for his gun. Violet fried his hand and then him when he tried to grab a hostage and escape.

They started untying people. "Monica lead them to the roof" said Sarah. Monica led the frightened people down the hall and up the stairs. They were picked up by helicopter off the roof. Sarah and the others checked the rest of the building. They found two more groups of hostages and some bombs.

They evacuated those hostages too and Sarah called in the bomb team. They did one last through search of the building. Then called it in, the job was done. They were ordered to evacuate and let clean up take care of the rest.
