World Domination
Ch. 10
From a small, private airport in southeastern Baltimore, 2 jeeps drove along the back roads up to the coastline. Here was the loading docks, half of which was empty at this time of night. It was about 2 o'clock in the morning, and the sea breeze. Logan said there would be a deserted warehouse in the area that lead to the underground base.
The two jeeps parked in an alleyway between two management buildings, clearly abandoned for the night. The jeeps unloaded, and the armed soldiers, in full gear of a vest, helmet, and rifle, trudged their way through the winds coming off the sea.
The first building they approached was not the one they were looking for. It was full of cocaine dealers and buyers, all armed, all nearly lost control of their bowls when the marines marched in.
The second building was a mistake to come head on. It was obviously the building they were looking for, and the golem soldiers were ready for them. They stood on the roof top firing down at the marines with sniper rifles, modified for massively to enable them to use each weapon. The rifle hooked snug to their shoulders, and their functioning hand aimed and fired the gun.
Two marines dropped in the initial firing. Everyone else scrambled either behind a building or behind some old, useless crates. The bullets weren't making it to the squad, so the fire was seized. Aya was along side 2 other marines behind a crate full of expired candy. She was with Private Harding, and another person with his dog tags reading "Paulson." Aya looked down to her right, and saw Lopez behind another box of crates, with Corporal Heston. Lopez motioned for Aya not to worry, and to be calm. Aya nodded and took a deep breath.
The crate Lopez was hiding behind exploded in a cloud of splinters. The dust settled, and Heston had his back pressed against the crate, and Lopez was down, missing a large portion of his neck, while blood flowed all over. Aya's first thought was of a grenade launcher, then remembered the large gun the Leader of the Golem soldiers carried, the way it blew a hole directly in the chest of a golem.
Harding and Paulson got up from their crouch and began firing at the roof top with their rifles, causing the golems to pull back behind some cover. This gave Heston a chance to move, and he didn't hesitate. He made it over to Aya's crate, then the entire group moved away to an area behind the building where the dozen remaining troops were waiting.
"Everyone here?" a man named Hillman asked the Corporal.
"We've lost Jenson, Thomas, and the FBI Agent." Heston holstered his rifle for the time being. "We need to figure out how we'll get in."
Aya didn't pay attention. She couldn't look away from the huge grin spread across Samuel Logan's face. "You're really enjoying yourself, aren't you?" Aya stared Logan down.
"I love to see idiotic strategies fail." Samuel chuckled to himself.
Heston pressed a pistol under Samuel's chin. "You are laughing about the death of 3 fine men. I should kill you now, and nobody will ask any questions when I say you were killed in the line of duty."
"If you kill me, you'll never survive." He smiled bigger, showing his teeth, which used to be pearly white, but with lack of brushing they grew slightly yellow.
"We found this place, now you have to reveal the other base locations to us."
Logan sighed. "There is one up in Maine, check somewhere near the border line. The other in Arizona. I can't give you the name of the high school, but there is one in Phoenix that leads to the base."
Private Benjamin, one of only 2 marines carrying a radio, instantly linked up to the people on stand by back at the airport. He didn't give a report that casualties had already taken place, cause it wasn't asked, and it would only discourage those heading to the other places.
"We are gonna have to force our way into the building, ready to fight our way through this mission. I take it everyone in there is breaking the law somehow, and we will feel no guilt for killing them."
Logan keeled over laughing. It was the most ridiculous plan he ever heard. He slowed his laughing to speak. "If you are gonna do that, I want a weapon. I will not go when I'm defenseless."
"Don't give him a damn thing." Aya sternly objected. "He is dangerous."
"I'm the last thing you guys need to worry about. Trust me on this."
Harding handed him her pistol. Nobody objected, but Aya refused to turn her back on Logan now. She drew her own pistol, and moved around behind Logan. They moved around the building, pointing their weapons up at the warehouse rooftop. There was nobody up there. The area was deserted, in just a simple moment. Nobody let their guard down as they moved in one big group towards the warehouse entrance. They were almost their, when they became surrounded by explosions. The ground beneath them crumbled, and collapsed, sending everyone into a free fall.
