Cursing he locked his other foot in and jumped after her. He flew towards her and finally got as near as he dared. Both of them continued to free fall until they neared the set altitude to pull. Xander popped his parachute a few seconds before Samine did as she fell a few more feet before pulling her putting a good distance between the two of them. Nearing the mountain top Samine pulled the release string and fell the last few feet to hit the snow with a slight puff of snow with Xander quickly following her. Samine let Xander take the lead seeing how there were only a few places that were actually safe to board on the mountain and most were very tight areas. She kept his black ski jacket in sight but allowed the space to grow between them as they boarded down the mountain. She saw the edge of a small cliff looming in front of Xander and wasn't surprised when he crouched deeper over the board and aimed for the tip of the cliff. He sailed out with Samine coming right after him with nothing but the still air to catch them. She looked down and saw the landing a good fifteen feet down as her arms arched out to balance her landing. Xander looked over his shoulder at her before looking back to the fast approaching ground. They both hit the ground and Xander motioned for them to split directions. Samine turned sharply as she leaned over the snow and drug her fingers across the snow to balance herself. Zig zagging back-and-forth along the snow she eventually stopped herself on a little over hang and looked over the small valley. Reaching into her bag she pulled out a pair of binoculars and focused it on the elaborate log cabin at the bottom of the valley. There were several guards walking around the cabin and next to the cabin was something big covered in a huge dark green tarp.

            "Well there's the missile," she grimly said and stuffed the binoculars back into her bag.

            Sighing she jumped a bit and started to slide down the mountain gaining speed as she boarded into the forest. With a smile she reached up and grabbed a low hanging branch and felt her body arch up in the air. Before swinging back down her fingers slipped on the bit of ice on the tree branch and her body fell flat on the snow with a soft puff of snow.

            "Boy am I glad Xander wasn't here to see that," she said and sat up as she unlocked her feet from the board.

            Hiding the board she activated her small headset and pulled out her Sauer and screwed on the silencer. The forest was silent as she moved from tree to tree to stay hidden and moved towards the cabin.

            "Xander are you there?" she whispered stopping behind a pine tree and looked at the cabin.

            "Yeah I'm on the outskirts of the clearing, towards the back on the cabin."

            She scanned the woods behind the cabin and saw the dark shadow of Xander behind another pine tree. Leaning against a small tree she steadied her gun hand and watched all the guards walking around the clearing.

            "How many guards do you have on your side?" he asked and she did a quick count.

            "I've got about six. You?"

            "I've got three over here, guess I'm the one that's going to be going in," he said and she smiled to herself before replying.

            "Hell yeah, I'm the one that was catapulted into the river it's only fair that you go for the gun fire. Don't worry I'll cover you."

            "That's what I'm worried about."

            "Prick."

            "Bitch."

            "Go on Xander and I'll cover you. Stay low to the ground and listen for me," she said as she checked the clip in her Sauer before pointing it towards the cabin again.

            After a moment of pause she watched as he moved away from the pine tree and towards the guard closest to him. A minute later Xander was dragging the body behind the tree and reappeared moving closer to the house nearing another guard. Samine watched as the last guard on that side started to turn to look towards Xander and she squeezed the trigger on her Sauer. The soft pop was barely audible as the guard went down from the fatal shot. Xander nodded to her before he drug both bodies behind the wood pile and tossed a tarp over the bodies before starting to move down the wall towards the corner of the building.

            "Xander stop right where you are," Samine said softly and saw Xander freeze in his steps.

            "What is it?"

            "There's a guard coming down the other side of the building towards you. He doesn't know you're there and he's going to be there in three, two, and one."

            She heard a faint pop from Xander's gun and saw the guard slowly be drug behind the house. Xander moved around the corner and paused beside the door before disappearing inside it and Samine pressed the ear piece tighter in her ear. She heard a bit of a scuffle and some muffled words. Then she heard and felt something that sent a chill down her spine.

            "It's a trap. It's a trap Samine."

Okay everyone there is the new chapter, I'm so sorry that it took so long getting posted. I hit a bad writer's block with this chapter and then once I did get it written I did a totally idiotic move and completely cleared out the entire chapter. Really long story so I won't get into it but I had to rewrite the entire chapter and that was not fun because it pissed me off so much that I did that but oh well what are you to do? So here you go and hopefully I'll get the new chapter up soon. Peace out and R/R.
