Rescue Wolf: I'm glad that you like the new tech for Cody. Your question about tom might be answered here.
STR2D3PO: I have to agree he is an underrated badass.
drmatt542: If you like the last chapters these chapters might just be a little crazier.
Amelia154: just wait, it gets even more interesting.
Well, I think that was everyone in the reviews. So without wasting any more time, let's get back to the story everybody.
Zuma's POV:
As we drove away from the base, Tracker and I headed off to the country to follow a lead given to us from interrogations. We were told of a farm that the gang dogs use and we were assigned to check it out. We drove for about half an hour until we got to the edge of the property. We stopped at the start of the road leading into the property.
The road was covered by a forest on either side of the dirt road. The trees towered above us and as I peered into the dense forest, the darkness inside was ominous and waited like a predator hungry and wanting to swallow you whole. I pushed down my nerves and got out of the truck to put on my gear.
I opened the back of the truck and grabbed my SWAT bulletproof vest, I grabbed my gear belt with my taser, handcuffs, extra ammo of both lethal and nonlethal, my P226 Sig pistol, my Glock 19 both with attachments for nonlethal shells, my MK16 Scar, and my MP5 folded and attached to my pack which is outfitted for battle.
Just then I heard trucks pulling up from the other side of the road.
"Tracker, take cover!" I said diving behind my truck
Tracker did the same and we both got out our rifles and prepared to fight. A black Ford F150 pulled up and stopped on the other side of the dirt road opening. The doors opened and I took aim, but I lowered my gun as I saw Cooper get out and Lance follow up behind him.
"Are you two trying to give us heart attacks?" Tracker asked "en serio chicos" he added in Spanish
"Sorry boys, we came as backup, we got word out of one of the officers back at base that this place is packed with gang dogs who are loaded on weapons. We rushed over with our gear as fast as we could" Lance said
"Good thing we got here when we did, otherwise you two could be in firefight instead of getting your gear on." Cooper said with a smirk
"Well thank you for coming, now we have a better chance of taking this place for ourselves. This actually a back road we found, thanks to tracker" I said gesturing to him
"I may be all ears, but I have many other talents too" he said, and everyone laughed but it quickly passed as we all stood in our special operations gear realizing the gravity of what was about to happen.
"Well, are you two ready to raise some hell?" I asked the 3 dogs before me
"Hell ya" they all said as the stood there in full gear.
"Alright, let's move in then" I said grabbing my scar rifle. Tracker grabbed the same gun although he had a few things different than my loadout. Cooper pulled out an M27 rifle and cooper pulled out a MK 14 rifle. Then we hopped an old Wooden fence edging around a forest and disappeared into the dark curtain that was the forest.
Once we were in the trees the temperature around us dropped greatly and I could see my breath in the darkness. I looked through the trees as we pressed forward through the trees. No one said a word, I looked to my right to see Cooper walking calmly with lance behind us and walking about halfway between us. I looked to my left to see Tracker walking a few feet next to me using his ears to listen up ahead. We walked for about 10 minutes before we saw the edge of the forest. We slowed our walking and stopped about 6 feet from the edge of the forest so we could still stay hidden and took a knee.
"Tracker, anything to report?" I asked
"They have been busy; it seems they heard about a different base being infiltrated by one of our teams. So now they are preparing for an attack, however, they are nowhere near prepared. They are in more of a panic." Tracker reported
"Perfect we can take them down in their state of panic" Cooper said getting out a pair of binoculars and looking through the tree line in front of us
"Holy shit, that is one huge farm" Cooper said "it Looks industrial" he added
The rest of us grabbed ours and looked as well. Cooper was not making it up, there were at least 6 houses, 2 big warehouses, and 2 big red barns. The facility seemed to be set up in each row had 3 houses, a warehouse, and a barn. the order seemed to go house, barn, house, warehouse, and ending with a house. The other row switched the order a little bit, it went house, warehouse, house, barn, and house. The second row also was facing away with us. The middle area was surrounded by the backs of the buildings. All around the buildings, there were buggies, carts, and dogs running around in a crazy manner.
I sighed as the binoculars lowered and went behind me but not back in my pack.
"Well this just got complicated" I said
"It looks like they have it set up so a barn is in front of a warehouse. They might connect in the middle row." Lance said looking at me
"They may be holding some supply's or something" Cooper said looking at me as well
"I can hear them, they are moving something, but I haven't heard what that is." Tracker said his ears changing directions as he listened
"Ok, I've got a plan. We are going to split into two groups, Tracker and Lance you will head to that barn on the right side of the campus, while Cooper and I head to the warehouse on the left. Let's tee to keep this a stealth operation, suppressed shots, and stay in the shadows whenever possible. Look for any information that you can ding and either get a picture of it or just take it. We will work our way through the buildings to the other side and we will meet at the ridge on the other side. Radio silence unless exposed and need help. Everybody got it?" I asked
"Got it" Tracker said
"Understood" Lance said
"Copy that" Cooper said
"Alright, let's get moving then" I said grabbing my gun and putting in my earpiece for communication. The other three did the same.
I pointed to Tracker and lance then at the barn to the right. They both nodded and disappeared into the tall grass in front of us. Then I pointed at Cooper and gestured to follow me, we dove into the tall grass.
I pressed my comm piece "comm check, sound off" I said
"Copy that" Lance whispered
"Loud and clear" Tracker whispered
"I got you" Cooper said behind me quietly
"Here on out, not a sound. Proceed when ready" I ordered
Cooper and I waited as an ATV drove by, once it was gone, I crawled on my stomach to the edge and stuck my nose out slowly and looked, I saw no one there. I lashed my tail, cooper and I dashed out of the grass and sprinted to the warehouse. I could feel my heart thumping as I raced to the metal structure. I saw a garage dumpster and headed there. Cooper hard on my heels as we dice behind it as we heard another vehicle coming. I peeked around the corner to see a golf cart rounding the corner. I waited until they passed us, then I looked at the wall of the warehouse, no door in sight.
Then I felt a tap and turned around to see Cooper pointing down. I looked to where he was pointing and smiled. There was a small semi-circle hole with a ladder leading down to a small window. I grabbed a stick and pressed a button on it and out of the top came a camera, then a small screen came out of my collar and I could see the camera feed. I stuck the camera down the hole and looked to see through the window. I saw a room that was dark and empty, I switched on night vision and saw no one in there. I turned it off and the screen shrunk into my collar as I put the stick away. I then nodded to cooper and he headed down. I looked around to make sure it was safe and followed him down.
…
Lance's POV:
We waited in the grass until an ATV passed by us then Tracker nodded signaling that it's safe and we sprinted out of the grass to the barn. There was a blue recycling dumpster that we saw and dove behind it as we heard another vehicle coming. I looked out to see a golf cart rounding the corner of the warehouse and a garbage dumpster. There I saw that Zuma and Cooper were hiding behind it.
We waited until the golf cart passed then I looked at the door to the barn. It was too big to open. I growled inwardly and the Tracker tapped my shoulder. I turned around to see tracker had found a small door right beside the dumpster. I smiled and looked back at the garbage dumpster to see Zuma's head going down into the ground. I turned to Tracker and nodded, he then peered around the other side of the dumpster and then moved quickly to the door and went in I looked quickly to see it was clear and followed him in.
It was pitch black in the barn. I pressed a button on my collar and a pair of sunglasses were then put on my face, I pressed a button on the sunglasses that activated night vision.
I flicked my tail and tracker followed me out into the hallway. There we stood in a t-shaped intersection of hallways. Tracker's ears shot up and for a few moments changed directions listening down each hallway. Then he pointed down the hallway to the left.
"Something is happening that way; I think we should check it out" Tracker whispered
"Ok" I said looking around, I saw no real cover, I looked up and saw a vent. I smiled and turned to Tracker.
"You still got those cables?" I asked
He smiled and two arms popped off the sides of his pack. He then looked up and shot them up at the vent. I climbed on his back and his cables carried us up to the vent, I lifted it up and pushed it into the vent and climbed in. Tracker followed me in and I placed the vent cover back on.
I motion for him to turn around and crawl forward. As quietly as we could, we crawl through the ventilation system looking down each opening to see where we were. After about 30 feet Tracker stopped and I bumped into his rear. I looked up to see the outline of his ears moving. Then he started forward and I saw the vent open into a four-way intersection. I followed him forward through the intersection. We crawled for another 10 feet before he stopped on the other side of a vent opening and turned around, pointing down through the vent. I looked down and saw some dogs sitting around a big table
"A report came in that the paw patrol pup Chase had entered the decoy warehouse with their leader Ryder. We have received orders to pack up our operations here and return to the main base. We got word from our secret informative that those pups may come here. So, I want those packages moved soon, we need to move out in the next couple of hours. That's all I got, now let's get back to work" one of the dogs said and about 6 dogs left the room. I looked on the table and I saw pictures of Buildings, a map with locations and a route, as well as pictures of two pups. Tracker tapped me, I looked up and I saw his eyes as big as bowling balls. He then mouthed three words "those are the girls".
I looked down to see his back was turned, I looked at Tracker and nodded pointing down. He connected his cables and I slowly lifted the vent opening. Just as we were about to go down the door to the room opened,
"Sir, we have a problem" a voice said
"What is it?" The dog in the room said
"Someone stacked some crates unevenly and they fell on some of the guys" the voice said
"Dammit, those idiots, take me there now. We don't have time for this" the dog said quickly rounding the table and leaving the room.
We waited a moment and then Tracker started to lower into the room. I jumped on his back and rode down on him, once we got close to the ground I jumped off. I quickly looked at the door to make sure no one else was coming to the door. I then walked over to the table and pulled out my camera and started to snap pictures.
"Where could they be going?" Tracker whispered
"I don't know, I'd like to know what they have here." I whispered back
"Well it looks like all of the paths meet here then they all go to this point" tracker observed pointing Along some of the lines of string.
"Well the girls seem to be here" I said pointing at a point near the city.
"Well they may have moved already" tracker muttered
"Most likely" I said as I finished up "ok let's get out of here" I said
I saw tracker leaving a couple of devices under the table and he nodded. He shot up his cables to the vent, I hopped on his back and he lifted us up to the vent opening. I crawled in and he lifted himself in after me and I put the cover back on after.
I pressed my collar and a small screen came out. It blinked and a circle came up and a line started spinning in the circle and the vent system appeared on the screen. I then mapped out a route on my radar and I pointed at Tracker then behind him, he turned around and we crawled forward.
We came up to an intersection, I tapped his right hip twice and he turned right. We went forward for about 40 feet, through two intersections, we came upon a third and I tapped his left hip twice and he turned left. Then we came upon a vent opening on the left that was slanted pointing down and I could hear voices.
"Boss, what do we do with the special packages?" A voice asked and both tracker and I stopped to listen
"We have to move those two to the main base. Are they ready to travel?" A different voice asked
"They may put up a fight, Waxier but they will be ready" I saw trackers ears twitch to match his surprised look on his face.
"Get those two on the truck, within the hour. We need to move now" Waxier said
Tracker looked at me with pleading eyes, I shook my head. Then he glared at me, I leaned back as his eyes shown a killer intent. I nodded and we followed the dog that this Waxier was talking to. We took an immediate right and followed him through the vents. We came to a darkened hallway, we both had to turn on night vision because it got so dark. We watched the dog approach a large metal door guarded by two other dogs. He nodded and the door opened and there was growling in the room.
"Hello there, now how about we do this the easy way. That way no one will get hurt" the dog said as he walked in
"Like hell we'd make it easy for you" a voice answered, and the other two dogs entered the room holding burlap sacks.
"Don't you dare come any closer" a different voice screamed.
Tracker was starring in shock and disbelief at the door when I looked up. I looked back to hear a commotion happening followed by two distinctive thuds. The sound made me cringe, there was a slight rustling in the room than the one dog emerged out of the room.
"Come on boy let's get these two out of here." The dog said. Then to our shock, they walked out with two pups.
I watched as Tracker bared his teeth and started to lean forward. I stuck my paw out and I looked back holding tracker back. I looked at the pups and they looked like the same size and the same fur color as Skye and Everest.
Then both of them were dropped and the bags were removed only for a moment, it was not Skye or Everest but all the same they were pups, then they put the bags back on their heads. I felt Tracker stop pushing against my arm and then he tapped me. I looked back and he was holding his gun. I looked at him in shock but all he showed was stone-cold determination. I sighed grabbing my gun and nodded.
"Let's get these two out of here, they have caused enough trouble" the lead dog growled as the other two forcefully picked them up.
Tracker used his cables to grab the vent cover and push it off. Then we took aim and fired at the two dogs holding the pups and they dropped. The lead dog looked up, but I took him out before he could even move. We then crawled out and dropped to the floor.
"What's going on?!" one of the pups asked wildly looking around with a bag over its head
"Be quiet and stay still" I said
"Who the hell are you? The other pup asked confused
"We are here to get you out, now be quiet and still" Tracker said with an edge to his whispered voice
He looked at me and I nodded I pressed the earpiece I had on "Zuma, it's Lance. If you can hear me don't answer. We engaged the enemy and now are in the process of a rescue. We'll have to fight our way out, if you found anything get out now and we will meet up soon. Good luck" I said and ended the transmission. I grabbed the pup and put him on my back. I pressed a button and a vest formed around the pup.
"I'm glad this setting was created, I thought it would be useless. Glad I was wrong." I said as Tracker did the same
"Agreed. You ready Lance?" Tracker asked
I grabbed my gun and switched off the safety and nodded. We then charged down the hallway and around the corner.
Oh Crap! They are in trouble now! Will they get out alive? What about Zuma and Cooper? What will happen to them? All will be answered in the following chapter.
