A treacherous Escape and A Fight at HQ
Sly and Carmelita ran through the trees until they came upon a small shack. Carmelita pulled a car buzzer gadget out of her shirt and pressed a button. The shack's front door opened like a garage and out rolled a shiny, titanium armored V-12.
"There it is. She's a beaut, ain't she?" Carmelita bragged.
"You are, but the cars nice too." Sly teased.
"Thanks, but if you don't get in, those snowmobiles will be here any second and tear us to pieces!" Carmelita scolded.
"Got it. I'll drive. You help." Sly stated as he handed Carmelita the suitcase and jumped into the drivers side. They took off just as 10 armored snowmobiles came into the view of the shack. Sly drove down the mountain veering around trees. Unfortunately, ahead of them was a guard tower. In the tower, two guards opened fire, pouring machine gun fire toward Sly and Carmelita's V-12. Luckily, it was titanium armored and had bullet proof glass. Sly pressed a button and a hatch opened on top of car. It had 15 heat seeking stinger missiles in it. He fired two missiles at the tower. Both hit and took the whole tower out in a huge explosion.
"Nice shot Sly, but what about the 10 snowmobiles behind us?" Carmelita questioned hysterically.
"I'm gettin' to it!" Sly replied. He saw a cave. He turned hard left. A hail of 50 caliber bullets hit the ground where the car would have been if he hadn't turned. He went into a very small cave opening, dodging two large stalactites on the way in. 2 of the 10 snowmobiles turned toward each other in an attempt to avoid the stalactites and collided. They blew up, blocking the way for the remaining 8 snowmobiles.
"I know a way around. We'll head 'em off." One driver said to the others.
"Were right behind ya. Gunners, get your gun ready." Another replied.
Sly through the cave for about 10 minutes and saw a light at the end of the dark tunnel.
"Hey look, the end! We made it." Carmelita cried excitedly as she pointed toward the light.
"I see it. But the onboard topographic maps says there's a ravine that separates two caves. Hold on." Sly stated calmly. He opened a small hatch on top of the clutch and pressed a red button. The V-12 launched forward, pushing Carmelita and Sly back into their seats. The car came up to the ravine. Luckily, the rocks near the edge formed a natural ramp. As the V-12 hit the ramp, it jump over the ravine and landed in the other cave's entrance.
"Close one Sly." Carmelita commented.
"You know it." Sly replied.
"Sly, look out!" Carmelita cried as she pointed out the front window. At the end of the new cave, the remaining 8 armored snowmobiles were waiting. They had the exit blockaded.
"There they are. Fire!" one of the gunners cried. All the gunners opened fire. Luckily, it was dark so most missed. The ones that did hit, however, didn't do much damage thanks to the V-12's armor.
In the V-12, Sly pressed the same button that he'd pressed earlier to make the rockets fire. Once again, two rockets fired from the top of the car, they sped toward the snowmobiles.
"Lookout! Move! MOVE!!!" The enemy leader cried. All but two snowmobiles moved out of the way. The two remaining snowmobiles were blown up and out of the way of the exit.
"Nice shot Sly!" Carmelita said as she reached over and patted his shoulder.
"Yeah, but there's still 6 more out there." Sly replied.
Sly came out of the mountains and onto road. The road led to town.
"Better lose 'em fast." Sly thought to himself. He looked in the rear view mirror and saw the 6 snowmobiles after him. He pressed another button on the dashboard and a smoke screen came out of the rear of the vehicle. The 6 enemy's ran right into the thick cloud of black smoke.
"I can't see, dammit!" The leader cursed. Then, he and all his men turned a hard left in an attempt to get out of the smoke, and went careening over a cliff.
Carmelita looked back and saw them fall.
"Nice plan Sly. Good thing this roads along the edge of a ridge, huh?" Carmelita congratulated him.
"Convenient is more like it. I'm just making this up as I go." Sly replied.
"Wait, so you're saying you just got rid of them and all those others by luck!?!" Carmelita asked angrily.
"Don't worry. There gone ain't they?" Sly replied in a pleased, yet nervous tone. Later, they got to the airport. And got on a private plane that took them back to HQ.
Once they were back at the MI6 and FI6 HQ, they began to decipher the documents contained in the briefcase. As the meeting began, teams of black jumpsuit clad terrorists began breaking through the windows on all floors.
"What the hell's going on?" Sly cried as he pulled out his gun.
"It's Mitzurugi's me. Their after the "Raining Fire" documents." M replied.
"Sly, Carmelita, on the 3 floor there's a lock-down mechanism that will seal all the windows off and lock the building down." Q stated as he ducked his head to avoid some falling debris. The enemy was bringing in grenades and bombs too.
"Got it." Sly replied as he started for the door. Carmelita caught his arm.
"Sly, maybe this gun would be better against a small army, eh?" She said as she handed him an M-4 carbine.
"Thanks. Follow me." Sly replied. As he and Carmelita left the room, two terrorists in the hallway spotted them.
"Get 'em!" A terrorist commanded. Before he or his buddy could fire off any shot, Carmelita sent two bullets their direction. Each went right through their necks.
"Nice shot." Sly complimented.
"Don't have time to admire it. C'mon. We gotta go down 3 floors." Carmelita commanded.
"I got yer back." Sly assured her.
Sly and Carmelita fought their way to the stairwell. Along the way, they saved many security guards and office workers. Luckily, the terrorists weren't interested in the office workers, but in agents and guards. They did, of course, destroy every mechanical devise in sight.
"Guards, cover the top floor. We'll start the lock-down shortly." Carmelita told the security guards.
"Right away, Ms. Fox." The lead guard replied. Sly and Carmelita headed down the stairwell. They heard the glass at the top of the roof smash. Guards began shimming down ropes. One spotted the two 00 agents.
"Kill them!" He cried. Sly quickly shot him. He fell down the entire stairwell. 20 stories. More terrorists followed him. Sly and Carmelita fired at them as the slid down their ropes. They killed over 20 enemies but they ran out of ammo. They pulled out their pistols and ran down the stairs, that ran down along the four walls. Dodging gunfire along the way.
At the door marked 3rd floor, they ran inside as a hail of bullets hit the walk where they were standing. A minutes later, a large group of guards came onto the stairwell to cover it from terrorist. On the 3rd floor, Sly and Carmelita fought their way to the security room Carmelita and Sly quickly initiated the lock-down. The windows on all floors were covered with metal blockades. The doors were blocked with metal also.
"We did it." Sly said as he hugged Carmelita.
"Yeah we did." Carmelita sighed as she fell to her knees.
"Carmelita, what's wrong." Sly asked worriedly.
"I think a bullet hit my arm." She grunted in reply.
"Hold on. I'm gonna help clear out the building then I'll take you to medical." Sly assured her.
"Sir, we've managed to clear the building already. You can go ahead and take Ms. Fox to medical." a security guard stated as he entered the room.
"That was quick." Sly replied.
"Most were already dead, tanks to your efforts, 007." M said as she entered the room. "The problem is the medical was totaled by the terrorists."
"Great, what about Carmelita's arm." Sly asked impatiently.
"Sly, Just take me to back to the hotel." Carmelita told him.
"That's fine you two. We'll decipher the files and clean this place up. We'll send you a message when where ready." Bentley told them.
"Ok then." Sly said as he put Carmelita's hurt arm around his shoulders. He drove Carmelita back to the hotel. He took her to his room and laid her on the bed. He examined the wound and saw no bullet. He wrapped a small strip of bandages around the small wound on her arm. When he finished, he escorted her to the door. At the door. She turned around to face him.
"Sly, thank you." Carmelita said.
" No problem." Sly replied.
"I'll see ya later. Carmelita stated.
"Yeah, sure." Sly replied.
Carmelita started to walk to her room. Sly smiled and went to bed. A few minutes later, Carmelita was knocking at his door.
"You didn't tuck me in." She said romantically.
"Sorry. Can I still make up for it?" Sly replied as he drew her in close. He swung her close to the bed. He pulled her outer clothes off and both crawled under the covers in each others arms.
"Oh Sly." Carmelita said as a gust of wind from a nearby open window pushed the door to the romantically lit room closed.
