Chapter 8: Stealth Recon Operation
Mac-11 CQB: New chapter here it is. Thank you for all the reviews you reviewers gave me.
The clan returned to the ship and Reco'de and Netak told them what happened. "A Predalien Queen," said Merc'rk. "It was probably made when a Queen's embryo gets implanted into one of our own kind," said Essra. "But how did it get here?" asked Shou'nk. Unlike the others Netak was smirking. "Who cares?! The more honor and glory for us. Let's go hunt this new kind of beast," he said before heading to the exit. "No, not yet. We must first find the terrorists and interrogate them," Merc'rk said. Netak stopped and sat back down. "Reco'de, were the drugs and weapons still there in the warehouse," asked Essra. "Yes, It was just like I left it," he answered. "I think I know a way to find the terrorists," said the huntress.
At the top of a building sat Reco'de. He was cloaked and staring down at the cars that drove by. There was a certain car he was looking at that was heading to the warehouse. The car was a black diesel truck. It reached the warehouse and drove inside. They were terrorists that came to get the supplies they left behind for the druglord. Reco'de looked down at the car and saw six thermal energy scans in it. He pushed the button on his mask that activated the walkie-talkie. "They're here," he said in the speaker. Then he disappeared.
The car drove into the warehouse and six armed men came out looking at the goods they had left behind. Two began packing it into the car while the other four stood guard. They began to quicken their pace. "Whoa! This one's heavy," said one of them trying to get it into the trunk. Another man came and opened it. He saw several drugs that filled the box to the max. "Good haul," he simply put it. They lifted it into the trunk and drove off. As they were leaving the building a cloaked figure jumped off the edge of the roof of the warehouse and landed on the diesel truck.
The truck kept driving for half an hour and stopped at a large compound. The driver made a signal to the two guards infront of the doors. They made a signal to the man at the controls to the mechanical door. The door opened and the drivers drove in unaware of the predator they were taking in with them.
It stopped in a large garage filled to the brink with boxes that were probably loaded with weapons and drugs. The garage was covered with stacks of them that almost touched the roof. The stacks were packed tightly together and the only way the truck could get through was a narrow trail between the boxes that was just barely big enough. The trail lead to the center of the garage and there is where the huntress jumped off.
Essra sneaked to the top of the boxes and saw that it was like a maze between the boxes. The ends of the maze were connected to the doors of the room. She headed to the closest one and jumped down. The Predator had landed right behind one of the guards. She pulled out her wrist blades, but not at full length. The huntress moved toward him until they were only inches away. Then she put her hand over his mouth and pulled his head back, exposing his neck. Essra silently slit his throat and dropped him. She dragged his dead body and threw it behind some boxes to hide it. She stealthily went into the door and left the garage.
She entered a corridor and went down to the door at the end. The female Yautja pulled out her spear gun and loaded it. She silently opened the door and entered a working room full of computers with men working on them. She looked at the computers and saw they were actually making plans to take over buildings and places to get and take hostages. The huntress headed to the other end of the room and left through a door. She went into another room full of boxes and saw an armed terrorist turn to her. He saw her and was about to yell for help. That is until a spear hit him in the neck, shredding his vocal cords. Instead of a yell a gasp came out and then he fell. Essra took his body and hid it in a half empty box.
She jumped to the top of the boxes and saw another maze. The predator headed to the door in the door in the middle. As she went there she heard some voices. The huntress looked over the boxes and below her stood four guys with machine guns and several aliens crawling around. "Okay, it's lunch time. Get the bugs out of here," said terrorist one. The second terrorist pulled out a small black box with a switch on it. He held it up high above himself and flipped the switch. It made some sort of Xenomorph call that was probably a call for them to follow it. He walked out of the room and the aliens followed him. "Why do we need to get rid of the bugs to eat?" asked terrorist three. "You're a newbie aren't you? Well, bugs share their food and since we're disguised as them if we eat they'll eat our food too," explain terrorist four.
Essra couldn't believe her luck. A terrorist fresh meat. Newbies get all the basic stuff taught to them on their first day. Now all that Essra needed to do was follow the newbie to get all her information. They pulled out their lunches and began to eat. The smell of their food was so good it made Essra want to jump down and kill them just so she could eat the food, but she resisted. "Is there anything else I need to know about?" asked terrorist three. 'Perfect question' thought Essra. "Well, we keep the big guns and weapons in room number 168 on the third level of the building. So if we get under attack go there for some serious firepower. We get eggs from the queen's nest at midnight, because that's when she goes to get food," explained terrorist four. "Where does she get food?" asked terrorist three. "The sewer workers got a mess to clean up down the tunnel to her right. As they're cleaning she kills them and while she's killing them we take some of her eggs for business," he explained.
Terrorist one was silently eating and pulled out a cup of coffee. The coffee was right under her so she felt the full force of the aroma. This made Essra really want to jump down, but again she resisted. "So when do we attack and destroy buildings?" asked terrorist three. "We attack to divert attention else where when we trade," he answered.
Suddenly an alarm went off. Terrorist three stood up with his weapon at the ready. "Relax, it's just the meeting ring. We're going to plan another attack," said terrorist one. 'Another perfect chance' Essra thought. They got up and left their meals. Terrorist one went to the room with the computers and men planning the attacks. Terrorist three went to the meeting room and Essra followed him. Terrorist four was just getting up when Terrorist one called out to him. "Hey! Joe tell Jeff to clean up the meals," he said. "Okay," he replied.
This would slow down the way to the meeting and it would take longer for Essra to learn what they were doing. She was on a limited time. The huntress headed to the door and went inside before he saw her. Terrorist four walked to the door and went out of sight of the other terrorist behind some boxes. Just as he opened the door a spear nailed him in the head. It went all the way through his head and one end stuck out the other side. Just then terrorist one turned around and yelled to him. "Hey, Joe, don't forget it's your shift tonight," he said. Essra tried to think quickly. A thought came to her and she pushed a button on her mask. A recording of the terrorist four's voice played and said "Okay," in the exact same tone as he did before. Terrorist one heard his comrade's voice and left.
Essra was about to continue following terrorist three until she remembered something. The female predator ran to the table and drank the rest of the terrorist's coffee. Then she continued down the corridor, which terrorist three went down.
The huntress opened the door and saw a large crowd filled with seats like that of a school play. She looked up and saw a rail with spotlights on it that was pointed to the center of the front room. A man with in a Middle Eastern uniform was talking through a microphone talking to them telling them the plan. The plan was to attack the tallest and most populated building in LA. Essra was recording each word with her mask. When the speech was over everyone left.
Essra was going to leave back to the ship. She got all her information she needed and some extra. The information being where the queen was, how they got the eggs, what they do with them, where they kept all their precious weaponry, how they controlled the aliens, and the extra being what the next target they were going to attack was.
She was looking for an exit when the worst possible thing could happen. The doors opened. The terrorists brought in the aliens and they spotted her.
Mac-11: That was a fun to wright chapter. I won't update until I get more reviews.
