80 Wakefield Road, Annadale
Staten Island, NY
1845 Hours
Jameson and Emily arrived in Wakefield Road with Alison; they had managed to keep her hidden in the trunk of Jameson's car. Once they got inside the gate to Antonio's home.
Emily had shut the gate, before running alongside the car, Antonio was waiting.
Antonio was all ready, he had with him a M16, M1 Garand and an AK-47. Jameson then said, "Loaded up for bear?"
"Extra ammo in the living room, I set up some tripwires and a few motion sensors, anybody comes through, we'll know about it, no explosives though." Antonio said.
Jameson nodded, "Any idea with what we're facing?" "Hell, if I knew, I'd know." Antonio replied.

The three then walked into the house as Antonio whispered something to the Sarge who took off. Antonio explained, "Sarge is heading for the pool area, anybody comes through, he can take 'em."
Emily checked her weapon, only seeing 2 clips as she said, "I'll need more ammo."
Antonio pulled out several clips for the M9 as he said, "Here's ammo for the M9. I put some rope and a flare gun up in the master bedroom. That'll be the escape route, we shouldn't hafta use it, but it's there as a safety precaution."
Emily nodded as she pocketed her M9 ammo, she then said, "Where will you guys be?" "We'll cover the perimeter, the minute you hear a sensor go off, get ready to lock and load." Jameson said.
"I sent Hanna and Spencer with Aria to Natalia's place. They'll be safe there." Antonio said. Jameson nodded, "Appreciate the thought."
Jameson picked up the M1 and pulled the bolt back as he said, "I'll take the M1, ammo?"
"Bandoliers on the coffee table. Emily, take the M16, ammo on the island." Antonio instructed.
Antonio picked up the AK-47 and loaded it as he holstered it. He pulled out his MEU (SOC) Pistol as he prepped it and then holstered it, he then looked to the others with him as he said, "Failure's not an option, we do what it takes for our people."
The other 2 nodded as Jameson said, "Emily, watch the front, I'll patrol the back, Antonio get that escape route ready."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Antonio nodded as he took off for the master bedroom, he saw Alison as he said, "You alright?" "Little nervous. Just want this over with so we can get on with our life." Alison said.
"We all wish that, Alison. Guys like me and Jameson, all we have is each other, warriors like him and me, we're always going to be among the best in our field." Antonio said. Alison smiled, "Is it ever easy?"
"It isn't, not in our field. I wasn't made for anything else but being a protector of the greatest city on earth." Antonio said.
Antonio then prepared the rope as he said, "Unless you need to, don't put it over the side, just in case somebody decides to use it to get to you."
"Point noted, I'll keep it right here." Alison said.
Antonio nodded as he headed out of the room.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Downstairs, Jameson was patrolling the back of the house, he then saw Antonio join him who had said, "Escape route's ready, there's been no sign of anyone yet."
"Nothin' this side. Feel's like we're back in the warzone." Jameson said. Antonio chuckled, "After all the hell we've seen, surprised none of us have lost our minds yet."
"The operative word is 'yet' let's keep heads on a swivel." Jameson said. Antonio nodded, "Fingers on the trigger."
Antonio checked his watch as he said, "What time you got?"
"1950 Hours." Jameson said. Antonio said, "Too quiet, I don't like it." "Same here." Jameson said.
Soon the baby monitor on the garden table went off, Antonio went to it as he listened, he heard the rumbling of motors, then there was a voice, "Alright people, let's do this right. Target's Alison DiLaurentis, whoever pops her first, gets a bonus in their paycheque."
Antonio looked to Jameson as he said, "We've got company."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
They headed into the house as Emily joined them, "I counted multiple hostiles by the 2 trucks they came in, looks like the same PMC's from earlier."
"Head to where Alison is. Anybody comes around the side, you put lead in 'em." Jameson instructed. Emily nodded as she headed back up the stairs.
Antonio then said, "I'll cover the side." "Go." Jameson ordered as Antonio ran out the door.
Jameson took the M1 Garand and checked it as he headed up the stairs and took cover in Antonio's old bedroom which had covered the front, he watched as the PMCs approached. He knew that if he took a shot now, he would only reveal his position and it would result in the others coming after him.
He heard the door open as he heard voices enter the house. He put the M1 down as he pulled out his combat knife. The footsteps on the stairs indicated there were at least 3 men approaching.
He waited until they separated as he killed one before stashing the body in the room, he took out the others quickly. He entered the room as Emily raised her rifle on him, he then said, "It's me, there's 3 men dead, another 5 somewhere, stay in the room, set a timer for 15 minutes, if either me or Antonio don't come back in that time. Launch the flare and get Alison to the Capelli household."
"You got it." Emily nodded as she set a timer on her phone and pocketed the flare gun.
Jameson exited the room carrying the rifle as he headed downstairs. There he saw 2 men in the house, one was in the lounge, he then stabbed the mercenary putting his knife away.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Suddenly, Jameson was hit in the head with the butt of the rifle, he fell to the floor as one merc got the drop on him, the merc then said, "Hand over the girl and no one gets hurt."
"Over my dead body." Jameson growled as he got back up, the merc fired into the floor due to Jameson's wrestling of the weapon. The weapon was knocked to the floor and he began to fight close-quarters with the merc, the merc pulled out a knife and caught Jameson and stabbed Jameson through his hand causing intensive pain.
Jameson however tossed the man to the floor and pulled out his sidearm killing the mercenary.
He looked at his hand as he groaned pulling the knife out of his hand and wrapping it into a bandage to stop the bleeding.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Outside, Antonio was currently in a firefight with mercenaries, they were peppering the floor with constant fire as Antonio struggled to come out from cover to shoot.
When they took a minute to reload, Antonio came out and opened fire on the mercenaries as he killed 2 of them and kept the others in cover. He reloaded quickly and switched his weapon to semi-automatic; he began to fire again hoping to bottle the enemy up.
Jameson soon joined him as he said, "How bad?" "2 mercs got inside while they bottled me up, I'll tell ya, they are bad shots!" Antonio shouted.
Jameson then fired his M1-Garand as he killed one of the mercenaries as he got back into cover, he then said, "I'm doin' wonderful at the moment."

2100 Hours
In the master-bedroom, Emily listened to the sounds of gunfire. It reminded her of the bad days of the Afghanistan and Iraq, she heard the sounds of mercenaries outside her door as she took out her sidearm, she readied herself by standing by the door.
The door opened as she saw an MP5 peer through, she waited until the hands came into view, she bashed the door into the merc and fired off some shots killing the first soldier.
In a split-second, she pulled her M16 up as the 2nd merc came through the door, she fired on him and killed the man straight away.
The alarm went off as Emily said, "There's no sign of 'em, we gotta go."
Emily took the flare gun out and put the flare inside as she said, "That rope ready?" "Yes."
"I'll be right behind you." Emily said, she then pulled the hammer back on the flare and fired it upwards, the flare was bright red in the dark sky as Emily said, "Let's go!"
Alison did as Emily said and climbed down the rope, Emily covered Alison as several mercenaries followed behind, she killed them before roping down, the pair raced towards the beach as gunfire rippled into the sand, Emily fired on the advancing mercenaries that looked to have flanked Antonio and Jameson.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
They raced to the Capelli household as the mercs followed them, Emily tried to fire on them, but the gun jammed, she took out her M9 and killed one of them, but the other 3 were killed by Leo Capelli and Joe II as they held weapons of their own.
Joe II held his M1911A1, whilst Leo held a M16A2, Alison said, "Thank God."
"You guys okay?" Leo asked. Emily barely nodded, "Gun jammed. I had to switch to my M9."
"Alison, let's get inside." Joe II said as he took Alison in.
Leo walked over to Emily who cleared the jam and reloaded her M16, he then asked, "Where's Antonio?"
"He was covering the side, Jameson musta been with 'em. I think they broke through." Emily theorised. Leo nodded as he said, "Dan Rossi and Adam Zelinski are on the way, we'll go with 'em and we're gonna hit these bastards."
"Hoo-ah." Emily said.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The pair raced to the front of the house as Daniele and Adam pulled in the car that was used was Adam's black pickup truck, Adam then said, "Like a damn firework show over there."
"Was just in the thick of it." Emily said.
Leo then said, "Let's hustle, we gotta move!" they get into the truck as they drive off quickly for Wakefield Road, hoping to save Antonio and Jameson.
They reach the road through quick speed. The mercenaries turn their attention to Adam's truck, to which Daniele and Adam get out as Adam shouts out, "POLICE OFFICER! PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR OR GO OUT IN A BOX!"
Emily begins shooting at the enemy as she jumps off the truck and suppresses the enemy, she spots a nearby car as she moves to it, but she is suddenly shot in her arm.
She falls back as Leo shouts, "Emily's down!"
"Cover fire, I'm goin' for her." Adam shouted. Leo and Daniele lay down cover as Adam races for Emily, and pulls her into cover.
Emily asks, "Got hit in the arm."
"You'll be okay. Can you shoot?" Adam asks. Emily takes out her M9 as she cocks it back before saying, "I can hold my own."
"Atta-girl." Adam says.

3 Minutes Earlier
2107 Hours
Antonio and Jameson saw the truck pull in as they heard Adam identify himself as a police officer. The pair nod as they advance forward and take the mercenaries head on. Jameson shouts, "Changing!"
"Got you covered!" Antonio says. Antonio fires on three of the mercenaries behind cover and injures them. The Sarge races forward and latches onto the last mercenary and bites into his throat killing the merc.
The survivors that are injured, as Antonio and Jameson kick away the weapons as they get the survivors up against the car, Daniele, Leo and Adam advance as Emily clutches her sidearm, and the M16 holstered.
Leo then said, "You guys alright?" "Few bumps and bruises, nothin' to worry 'bout." Antonio said.
Jameson held his injured hand up and said, "Not sure how to explain this, though." "Jesus, you get stabbed?" Adam asked.
"Went clean through like a butter knife." Jameson said.
"I don't envy you one bit, buddy." Daniele said.
Leo smirked as he said, "I train you in hand-to-hand and you couldn't stop a knife goin' through your hand."
Antonio laughed as the Sarge said, "Aroo!"
Emily nodded as she said, "Good to see the Sarge is still a good fighter."
"He never stopped fightin'." Antonio said. Jameson, Daniele and Adam all smiled at the Marine dog.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The cavalry consisting of the NYPD, including John and Giuseppe, Thomas and Mike arrived as the survivors were hauled into custody, the weapons used in the assault were being vouchered by Adam, he noticed something about one of the M4's as he said, "John, come over a minute."
John walked over as he said, "What's on?" "Look at this rifle, repeat the serial number back." Adam requested.
John looked at the serial number and repeated the number back, Adam looked at the copy of the vouchered weapons list as he found out that 6 of the M4s had been used in the raid.
John noticed this as he asked, "How in the world, did 6 of these rifles end up out of evidence?"
"I don't know, I made sure those weapons were put there myself, I had done this myself. Even after I finished my shift, I made sure they were in their place." Adam replied.
John ran a hand through his hair as he said, "Let me get this right… somebody, right after you left came into the evidence locker, signed them out and put 'em back on the streets of New York to be picked up." "That's what it looks like, I think a cop walked in and put them back on the street." Adam said.
John covered Adam's mouth as soon as the words were spoken, he then said, "Are you out of your friggin' mind?" "No." Adam said muffled.
"You do not say those words out loud, especially round other cops. If you speak those words, things are gonna end in much worse circumstances, they will directly at you, because this was your case, your lead." John said. Adam nodded, "But what if it was, Johnny? What if there was another cop involved?"
"I'll make sure the weapons are put back in evidence with you, then we're gonna go home and try to forget this night. Just promise, you won't do anythin' reckless?" John said. Adam nodded, "I promise, soldier's word."
"Good enough." John said. He then turned to the officers carrying the weapons as he told them he'd go with them along with Detective Adam Zelinski.

2300 Hours
After the firefight at Wakefield Road, Antonio and Jameson were on guard duty of the house, Emily and Alison were sleeping together in the master bedroom.
Jameson was doing a round of patrolling as he saw Antonio in a garden chair as he said, "Helluva evenin', huh?"
"Definitely wasn't dull." Antonio said. Jameson nodded, "Some of those M4s that Adam took off the street found themselves back on the streets when they were stolen this evenin'."
"Dirty cops, I imagine, we're gonna have a helluva day tomorrow, come the trial, we need to have Alison under close watch, which means snipers, armed convoy, all of us armed." Antonio said.
Jameson nodded, "No argument there." "Let's do a few more patrols, we're not sleepin' tonight." Antonio said.
