World's Strongest (part 2)
Arrival
Compared to Japan, it was a rather short plane ride to Spain. They boarded a small boat to take into the Mediterranean Sea. Night came and they slowly made their way to the coast. The coastline was hardly visible when they slowly sank into the water. The black wetsuits couldn't keep the cold out of their skin. They each latched onto a large, torpedo-shaped metal tube, which began to propel them forward toward the coast. None of them had anything, excluding George, who had a laptop at his side. For a while, they could see nothing but the pitch-black water. It was rather fortunate that Rolento underestimated and forces which would be sent, for there were no sentries within the immediate area. They climbed out of the water and slipped out of their wetsuits. They had their camouflage underneath. Wolfman whispered out orders.
"Matthew, stay here with George and provide us with some beach backup. It will be easier if you stay here and help with our escape. George, make sure we have multiple ways in or out. Matthew will provide you backup if you are in trouble. And if all else fails, get yourselves to safety. Cammy, Luwanda, come with me." They slowly snuck into the city while George and Matthew found a place where they would try to avoid conflict.
They were all pretty anxious. It was their first mission in a while and they had been under constant scrutiny after the last mix-up. They had to do this mission right, otherwise, their futures would be at stake.
Unlike the beachhead a little ways from the town, the royal residence was far from open. They came up to the large brick building on one of it's sides. There was a massive metal gate which two sentries were patrolling. There were two others standing at the lighted corners. There were bushes surrounding the area outside the estate. They hid in them while they waited for the sentries to pass. No one could risk speaking yet. The two guards routinely passed the area. They waited till the guards had gone away a little. Wolfman picked up a small stone and hit one of the sentries. The sentry turned and walked toward the bush. He looked around, but couldn't find anything. As he turned his back Wolfman sprang on him. He snapped his neck and took his gun. The other three sentries were running toward them. Cammy's foot smashed into one of the guard's jaw, which sent him into the chain fence. Luwanda rammed a different soldier into the fence. She reached for the blade on her back, but soon realized that she didn't take it on this mission. Wolfman lunged at the final guard. He flipped him over his back and twisted at his neck until he heard the bone snap. Cammy and Luwanda soon repeated him. Wolfman motioned to them and they quickly put on their uniforms. Their entire faces were covered except for their mouths. The uniforms for the guards were not too much unlike the wetsuits. They contained night vision goggles and a rifle. After the uniforms were on, he motioned for them to step out. He fired a few shots at one of the fallen soldiers before he stepped out. There was a single guard running toward them.
"What happened here?" He yelled at Wolfman.
Wolfman tried his best to disguise his voice. "Would be intruder, we took care of him."
The man looked at him suspiciously. "Where are the bodies?"
Wolfman immediately responded. "Over in the bushes. It got quite gruesome. One had a knife we had to apprehend. It's not a pretty sight."
The guard quickly responded. "What's wrong with your voice?"
He stood, unwavering. "He got a cheap shot in, knocked the wind out of me."
The guard didn't really want to see the bodies. And they were the best soldiers in the world, so one soldier could not conceivably kill three of them. "Well, you know the rules, you still have to report it to Rolento."
Wolfman had to suppress his smile. The soldier signaled for them to follow, and they entered the large, squeaky gate. The residence was very large. There was a large wooden door which led into a long, dark hallway. At the end of the hallway there was another door. They stepped into a large, well-lit room. They followed closely behind the soldier, and when he turned a corner into an adjacent room they made their move. Wolfman lunged at him, snapping his neck just beyond the glimpse of the cameras. They were in.
Discovery
George's laptop provided a great map of the place to help Wolfman, Luwanda, and Cammy navigate through. But while they were looking through the large residence, the dead soldier's body was found.
Rolento was up and quite active, even though it was late at night. He let out an frowned when Gado appeared. "What news could be so important that you disturb me?"
Gado was a former member of Mad Gear. After the group disbanded, he went his own way in crime. He eventually did end up in Rolento's forces, but he was never more than a lowly grunt. He walked up to Rolento and stood straight. "Sir, it appears that you may have been wrong. Intruders have been sent into our base."
Rolento frowned at him. "Our soldiers are the best trained in the world. The intruders are a simple fluke, find and eliminate them. Get extra security around the holding area." Rolento started to pace around the large room as Gado left. He hadn't expected an attempt at them so quickly. His plan was going too well for it to be compromised by intruders. He started to talk to himself. "Gado doesn't know what he's doing. This is much to serious. I should attend to matters myself."
Within minutes soldiers were running throughout the building. They crouched up in the shadows until all the soldiers had run past. "Fan bloody tastic." Wolfman sighed. "George, any idea where the hostages are being held?"
A voice in his earpiece answered. "There is a large room just to your left. There are several small rooms near there. But stay clear of the area further down the hallway. It appears the main office is there."
Wolfman nodded. "Thanks, Pidge." He signaled to Luwanda and Cammy and they slowly snuck down the hall. They were making their way to the large room when they heard more footsteps coming. They each dived into one of the smaller rooms to the side. Each of the rooms were completely blacked out. They waited in the rooms for any more soldiers to run across.
Wolfman lay on his back for a few minutes. It felt good to take a rest. His eyes opened widely when they felt a cold liquid touching the tips of his fingers. He turned around and saw a dead body hanging on the wall. He stared at it blankly, not expecting to see it there.
Luwanda and Cammy slowly walked back into the hallway. Luwanda broke the dead silence. "Yo, Colonel. We need to go."
Wolfman still sat there, staring at the body. His eyes were full adjusted to the dark, and he could see every feature of the body.
Cammy spoke this time. "Colonel, what's going on? We need to go. We have a mission to complete."
Wolfman responded with a raspy voice. "No, we don't. The mission has been compromised."
Luwanda responded in a whispered yell. "What are you talking? What compromised our mission?"
Wolfman pointed forward and said in the same tone. "That."
Cammy and Luwanda has to squint to see the body. But a look of horror spread to their faces once they did. Cammy swallowed as she spoke. "Is that?"
Wolfman lowered his head. "Yes, that is Ambassador Chombers. He is dead."
They were all disappointed by the news. But before they could report the news to George, a cough from the darkness caught their attention. Wolfman slowly stood up from the pool of blood which was starting to surround him and walked toward the sound.
"Who's there?" His voice chimed with revived vigor.
The voice didn't respond. It was as if the speaker was pondering some dark truth. After Wolfman asked the same question again, the voice spoke in a raspy tone. "Wolfman?"
Reunion
Wolfman almost jumped back. "Who the hell are you? And how do you know my name?"
The voice didn't respond. Cammy and Luwanda walked slowly up behind Wolfman. Their eyes were trying to focus on the figure. Luwanda was the first to comment on they were thinking. "Oh my God, that's the ambassador!"
The man had nearly the exact same appearance as the ambassador did. He didn't respond to her. He just kept repeating himself over and over again. "Oh my God. They are actually here. They are here. Oh my God, they are here."
Cammy took a step back. "No, it's not the ambassador." They both looked at her, then at the figure. She walked up to him and knelt down. "Are you alright, Vega?"
Luwanda and Wolfman stood in a silent shock. He looked almost exactly like the ambassador, apart from the scar on the forehead, and his Spanish accent. They looked at each as if they had the same idea.
"Do you think it would work?" Luwanda asked Wolfman.
Wolfman responded. "If we can get a fake scar on that forehead and a change in accent, no one would be able to tell the difference."
Cammy looked at them in a questioning tone. "What are you two planning?"
Luwanda responded to Wolfman, oblivious to Cammy's question. "But can he play the part? What does he know about British-Moroccan interests?"
Wolfman spoke quickly. "I don't know what he knows. But I do know that we cannot afford to fail this mission. He may be our only hope."
Cammy wouldn't be ignored. "What is going on here?" Cammy said as she stepped between them.
Luwanda responded with a smile. "Cammy, we need Vega. He looks almost exactly like Nigel Chombers. If he can play the part, this may yet be a successful mission."
Cammy stared at her in a stunned silence. She had to force herself to ask a question. "But if they see through the disguise? Not only will he pay, but we will be nothing short of tried for letting a murderer go free. And he is facing death for spreading Shadaloo influence through Europe."
They looked at each other. They hadn't thought of that. Wolfman broke the silence. "We may have no other choice, Cammy. It may be risky, but if we don't, this will be our last failure. Besides, we cannot leave him here, not in the state he is in. Perhaps we should take him along, at least until the end of the mission. Then we can decide what our next course of action will be."
She responded solemnly. "Yeah, I guess you're right."
Wolfman smacked the blunt end of his gun on the chains and they broke open. Cammy caught him when he fell. "Are you okay?" She asked quietly.
Vega could barely keep his exhausted eyes open. "I am now."
