Suicide Squad: Nothing Really Matters To Me- Chapter 5
I honestly couldn't believe how high tech all the computer screens were. It was like being right there. This time they were not in some island filled with anti-Americans, they were in Canada. A few miles away from the confluence of the Tanana River and the Yukon River. It was a very "hush, hush" military operation that only a select few knew about. Until recently.
It had been disturbed by an unknown force. A super human force. Waller said that she had only seen magic like this once before. Something to do with a woman called June Moon. She was married to Colonel Rick Flag before he was killed on the previous Task Force X mission and has 2 kids. One is 3 years old, the other is 11 months.
There was a raging storm at the military operation. Storm Khloe. It was wrecking the trees. I honestly thought that the trees were going to crush the military base. You are probably tired of me going 'Military Base' and 'Military Base'. It has some fancy pancy name to it. Granilia Base. Yep, whoever named that, jeez. A little on the nose.
Apparently, the local people around Granilia Base found out about it and they were not happy about it. Apparently, the experimented on people. On children. Which is just sick. And not the good kind of way. The we-are-evil-motherfuckers-who-will-steal-your-kids-in-the-middle-of-the-night kind of people.
And if you are going, "PROFANITY!" At what I just said, deal with it. There is a hell lot more where that came from. I know most of it because of, guess what? I work in a fucking shit hole prison. People in here don't talk about rainbows and puppies when they are in here. They talk about how they are going to get revenge on the bastard that put them in here.
I should probably put that in quotation marks. 'Going to get revenge on the bastard that put them in here.' There we go! All good now. Now, where the hell was I? Ahh, yes, 'Task force X' just arrived at breakfast cereal base. I mean Granilia Base. Sorry, but this person HAS it coming. I'm just giving it to them. Also, I'm not sexist or gender assuming.
This asshole might be a woman as well as it could be a man. Probably a man. 7 out of 10 of the people here are men. Behind bars and in front of bars. There are only 2 females on the Suicide Squad. Sorry Waller! I am not gonna call it 'Task Force X' all the time. So anyway. Now Granilia Base has two things wrong with it.
Number 1: it sounds like a fricking breakfast cereal.
Number 2: there is a superhuman force disturbing it. Number three: the local people think it is a menace to their society and are threating to take legal action against it. How can they sue something that technically DOESN'T EXIST?! They didn't think that one through.
Anyway, enough chit-chat. Time for action. Samuel Hunter Griggs went with the Suicide Squad. Eoghan Griggs stayed because Waller likes him more. They landed by the river.
It was quiet there. Call me superstitious but too quiet. Bloodsport went first. Then Peacemaker, then Ratcatcher II and then last, King Shark. Griggs stayed away from the shark. They were walking on the bank of the river. Something rustled in the trees. "Head North." Said Waller. They all headed different directions. "Oh for fucks sake! North is this way!" Said Bloodsport.
"Sebastian said that North is this way." Said Ratcatcher quietly. "Why the fuck would we trust the rat?" said Bloodsport. "Pecemaker went the right way." Said Waller. "Follow him." Peacemaker looked smug. "Wipe that fucking smug look off your face or I'll blow your head off. Again." Said Bloodsport. What is with them two arguing? "Just go the direction." Said Griggs. Waller sighed. On the screen, I could see the top corner of a grey building, peaking out from the trees.
They followed Pecemaker through the trees. Granilia Base looked old. Like it hadn't been used for a long time. There was a driveway that was grown over with weeds and the garage doors were completely covered with ivy. Nothing had gone in or out for a long time. "Are you sure we are in the right place?" asked Bloodsport. "Plant." Said King Shark. "Yes, it's a plant." Said Ratcatcher II.
Suddenly the signal on the screen buzzed. Like an old television.
Like it was breaking up.
"Bloodsport?" said Waller. "Peacemaker? God dammit, someone answer me!" Said Waller. The double doors at the back of the room flew open. I couldn't see how many, but a lot of men in black army gear came into the room, machine guns at the ready. "Everyone, down on the ground!" the front one shouted.
I stared at Waller.
She tilted her head towards one of the desks. Waller was very superstitious and kept guns under a lot of tables, all you had to do was free it from the masking tape. Easy to do if your life depended on it.
"ON THE GROUND. NOW." Shouted the man again. I darted forward and just as my hand slipped against the cold metal of the gun, the bullets started flying and it all went to shit.
