The Last Stand
A mercenary squad stood, guarding the river mall. Some illegal explosives had been dropped there and they were to guard it until someone came to pick it up. One or two mines had been placed on all the vent shafts. Jack was to guard the video games store.
The video game cases held the devise to destroy the bombs. Dan was placed outside the store and was supposed to be guarding Jack, but instead was looting the place. Bill had been placed in the control office, monitoring cameras and security lasers. Finally, Matt had been placed near the exit.
"How many more hours 'till the shift ends man?" Jack complained. "Stow it Jack, you know how important this mission is!" Bill yelled over the comm. "My couch is a little more important!" Just as Matt was going to yell at Jack, he heard a terrified scream.
He alerted the others and rushed over to where he heard it. Dan was leaned up against a wall. "Man down, man down!" Matt yelled over the comm. Matt grabbed Dan and brought him to Jack. Dan's neck was broken, gun taken. "We got us a spy in the mall." Jack said grimly.
"Bill, didn't you see anything on the cameras?" Jack said. "No, there was nothing. I don't know who killed him or where he is." Bill replied. A few seconds later, the lights were dead. "What the Ell?" Matt said. Jack turned on his helmet light. It was pitch black.
The mercs were worried. Jack hurried over to the phone. "HQ this is Jack of the mall squad. We need reinforcements!" Jack yelled. No response. The phone, lights, and cameras were dead. Everyone grabbed their gun. "Matt, get us to the exit now!" Bill yelled. "No, we need to get to the video game store and find the set off for the bombs."
"What for?" Matt asked. "Because, when we get out of this base, we need to make sure all of the spies die." Jack slammed a fresh clip into his gun. "First, we need weapons and ammo." Bill mentioned. "That's good thinking Bill." Jack said. The all took out their guns and headed towards the ammo center.
