Chapter 2: Georgia Street

Logan was checking his equipment one last time as they came up to the drop-off point. He had his silenced 9mm, his sniper rifle, a few grenades, his taser, and a flashlight. After he finished he looked out the window through a pair of binoculars. He could see the CBDC trading fire with the terrorist at the Subway entrance and at the National Bank. He wondered what they were doing over there. He decided to check that place out first.

Lian turned towards him and gave the low down on the mission operations. "While you find and eliminate terrorist, I will monitor your progress and the terrorists movements." He nodded in approvement. "I will have I.D matches for you in a few moments on where they are," she told him. When they came to the spot he turned back to Lian, "I'm going down. Call me as soon as you have a location on the terrorist." After she nodded he strapped the rope to his belt and lowered himself down to the street. When he landed on the road, he unhooked the rope and the helicopter lifted off.

As he got ready to move out Lian came on his radio, "I've got an I.D. match for Rhoemer on level 1. Girdeaux is on level 2. No location, yet, for Kravitch, and I don't see any sign of Aramov." "Copy. I'm on my way," Gabe replied. He looked down at his watch. It read 8/23/99; 10:45. He was right on time. He turned left to go see what was happening at the bank. Along the way he had to dodge sniper fire. With his sniper rifle he was able to take them all down.

As he arrived at the bank, he saw some CBDC agents taking fire. He came up behind the terrorist and took them down. The agents came out from their hiding place, "thanks." "No problem." Then Lian came in on the radio, "CBDC have a few more agents pinned down in your location. Think that you can lend a hand?" "Copy that. Out."

With the other agents, Logan ran into the bank. When they came in, the terrorist inside began to open fire. The agent in the bank was waving a hand. Logan saw that there was a viral bomb behind. When he reached him the agent turned his attention to the bomb. "Cover me!" he shouted. As he disarmed the bomb, Logan and the other CBDC agents took out the terrorist. When the agent finished, he took out his gun and joined in. "Bomb disarmed," he yelled. A few seconds later they had taken out the terrorist. Lian came in on the radio, "all clear, Gabe." He left the agents there to take care of the bomb and headed toward the Subway entrance.

When he arrived at the entrance he saw CBDC agents battling with terrorist. He helped them take them out. One of the agents walked up to him after the battle was over. He took off the hood and Logan broke out a grin. It was Lt. Jason Chance. Chance is one of his best friends.

"Great to see you, Chance."

"Great to see you too."

"What's the situation?"

"Rhoemer has the Subway entrance locked down. We can't get in."

"I'll see what I can do." Logan spoke into his radio, "Lian, Rhoemer's men have locked down all of the Subway security gates." "You will have to find the bypass switch. See if you can find a service elevator," she replied. "Copy," he said. He turned back to Chance, "Chance, can I get a M16 and a couple of clips?" "Sure." He gave Logan a M16 rifle with five clips.

He couldn't find the elevator near the Subway entrance, so he went to the next building. It was a pool hall. As he went down the back hallways, he shot a guard hiding in a small room. As he went on Lian came back on the radio, "Gabe, I'm getting some interference. You must be near their communications array." "Kravitch." He must be near by.

Soon, he came to the end of the hallway. As he peered around the corner, he could see Kravitch working at a table. Kravitvh must have spotted him, because he suddenly shot up, started firing, and shouting in Russian. He could hear him mention his name during the battle. Logan ran out from the entrance and started firing. For a few moments they ran from hiding place to hiding place, firing at each other. Logan took out the M16 he got from Chance and waited behind a wall. When he saw Kravitch run from his hiding place, he ran out too. When Kravitch took a shot at him, Logan went into a roll and started firing. He emptied four bullets into Kravitch. He stumbled back from the impact and fell down. He didn't get up.

Towards the back of the room, Gabe spotted the communications array. He shot a few bullets into it, and it exploded. He radioed Lian, "I've taken out Kravitch and destroyed the Comm equipment, but I don't see their uplink dish." "I'll trace it," she replied.

As Gabriel started to leave, he wondered what the guard was doing in that room. When he went back there he saw a window. He had an idea. He shot the window and climbed out the other side. When he looked to his right, he saw an elevator. He shot off the lock and went down the elevator.

As he reached the bottom he turned on his flashlight and radioed Lian. "Lian, can you tell me where I am?" "This must be where the Subway security bypass switch is located. Find it and shut it down."

"Copy. See if you can find a copy of the Subway system security protocols." "Got it." He went to work, looking for the switch. It didn't take him long to find it. When he pulled the switch, Lian came back on the radio. "You bypassed the Subway security. The ramp in the first terminal should be clear, now."

Logan headed back to the Subway entrance. When he got there, terrorist were flooding out of the entrance. He got behind a car and started to help the CBDC take down the terrorist. When they finished, Chance walked up to him. "Did you do something? One minute there was peace and quiet. The next moment, terrorist come flooding out of the entrance." "I found the bypass switch. Now we can get in the Subway."

"I'll gather up some men."

"No. Not yet, Chance. I want to check out the place first."

"I don't like this, but have fun."

"Thanks. And can you get me a shotgun?"

"Yes, I can."

He gave him a fully loaded shotgun with extra rounds.

Logan crept up to the entrance. He peeked around the corner, but saw no one. As he was walking slowly down the ramp, Lian radioed him, "Rhoemer's men have set a viral bomb on level 1. If you find it, tag it. I'll give its location to CBDC."

"Copy. Where's Rhoemer?"

"Level 2"

"I'm on my way."

He continued down the ramp. As he reached the bottom, he spotted a guard off to the side. He took him out without trouble. As he continued to sneak through the Subway, taking out terrorist when he found them.

When he looked across the tracks he saw the bomb. A few seconds after he crossed them a train came by. Good. The train will block me while I work. After he finished attaching the beacon on the bomb, he radioed Lian. "Beacon set. Tell CBDC to get its guys down here." "Copy."

He continued to the end of level 1. He went into on of the side rooms and found the elevator to the next floor. He called it up, and rode it down to the next level. A few seconds after he exited the elevator, Lian radioed him, "I've located Rhoemer. He's on the lower level arming another bomb." "I'm moving." This is it. He is so close. Logan knows that this is his chance to get revenge for Ellis' death.

He started walked out from the room into the Subway and started towards the front. He flipped out from behind corners, dodged gunfire, and took down terrorist left and right with his shotgun and M16. Nothing was going to keep him from taking down Rhoemer. Soon he reached the other end of the Subway level. There was no sign of Rhoemer, yet. He would find him. Here he found another viral bomb.

Soon Lian radioed him, "Gabe, what's happening?" "Lian, I found another bomb. I'm setting a beacon." He was about to set it, when he found a few differences from the viral bombs. "Wait. Lian, this one's different from the others. It has a shorter timer and it looks like-." "Gabe, that's not viral. It's-" "TOO LATE!" Logan stood up and ran away from the bomb. A few seconds after that, the bomb went off. Trains flipped over, tunnels started to collapse, and the ceiling started to come down. As all this was going on Gabe was trying to find shelter. But it was looking pretty grim. Well Gabriel Logan. Lets see if you can get out of this one.
