Chapter 23: Three Spectres of Death

Ghost led his two men deeper into the cavern, about a hundred paces before he turned.

" Nighthawk, do your thing." Growled Ghost as he stepped aside.

Nighthawk smiled behind his mask and nightvision goggled as he obeyed his leader. As he slinked closer to where Ghost was standing, he could see what Ghost meant. There before them was a series of black cords that led deeper into the cave. These black cords were the main powerlines to the underground layer. While Nighthawk was busy examining the wires, Ghost pressed a button for the comm-link.

" Hey Miki, do you read me?" He growled.

" Loud and clear Ghost." Came the light, female voice.

" You ready with the exits?" Asked Ghost.

" All four doors are secure, and we'll be ready when the bullets start flying." Answered Mikaila.

" Good to know, Nighthawk's gonna be cutting the main powerlines shortly, Be ready when things go dark." Said Ghost.

" Affirmative. over and out." Said Mikaila before the link was severed.

" I love that girl." Grinned Mojave, naturally impeeding on the conversation because they were all on the same frequency.

" Don't we all." Grumbled Ghost as he watched as Nighthawk pulled out a huge army daggar. Ghost and Mojave felt eager anticipation as Nighthawk picked up the first thick cable and sliced through it like butter. The results were instantaneous as the sound of startled and alarmed voices echoed through the cave.

" That takes out one floor, now the other two." Smirked Nighthawk as he quickly made that task done. Now there was a plethora of alarmed voices as the underground layer was consumed by darkness.

" Alright you guys, lets do this. Nighthawk, you take the first floor, blow it to bits if it suites you. Mojave, you take the second floor and obtain all computer data that you can from the main computer, which runs on a fourth powerline inside the lair. Asfor me, I take the third floor and secure the warheads for disarmorment." Said Ghost, through his Night-vision goggles, he saw his fellow operatives nodded in agreement.

Then Ghost turned and ran deeper into the cave, Nighthawk and Mojave right behind him.

" P.S.We use the element of surprise to our advantage, use silencers on your guns once everything goes boom. Kill eveything that moves." Growled Ghost into his comm-link as he and his team decended like the spectres of death ontheir new victims.

After about fifty paces, the Big Three unite split up into three seperate directions. Nightahwk leaped into the air and caught the metal ladder step jutting from a hole in theceiling, this would lead him to the first floor. Mojave veered harply to the right, down a tunnel that would lead him to the second floor, and the main computer. This left Ghost to run alone, growing closer and closer to his target, the third and most heavily guarded floor.

There were upwards of maybe a hundred men for that floor alone. No problem for Ghost, he'd start counting back from one hundred with each life he took.
