Richmond, Rhode Island
After driving through the crack of dawn and into another night, Black Cerberus waits inside an abandoned house. Cody had left an hour ago. Telling them to wait there while he scoped out their mission location. They still had no idea what the job was.
"This is ridiculous." Dean moaned, punching the wall in the corner. He'd been drinking coffee and Red Bull. A combination that would put anyone else in a coma.
"Yeah man, all that traveling and we're stuck in a moldy shithole." Seth said in agreement. Looking at Roman. "What do you think big guy?"
Reigns had been quiet the entire drive there. All of his responses made up of mutters and nods. Only choosing to stare out the window while in the building. Staying silent, he only shrugs his shoulders.
"Jesus what's with you?" Dean asks Roman. "Are you slow? Huh? You too badass to use words with more than one syllable?'
"Leave him alone." Says Seth.
Dean walks over to Roman, getting in his face. Dean with a caffeine laced look. Glaring at Roman, eye to eye.
"SAY SOMETHING!" Yells Dean.
Roman only smiles, shrugging his shoulders. Dean shoves him in the chest, knocking Roman against the wall. The smile turns quickly to a frown, and he tackles Dean to the ground, prompting both of them to scrap. Seth stands back, only shaking his head. Cody returns, and tases Dean and Roman, breaking it up.
"Holy hell, so daddy can't leave without the kids starting a fight?" Says Cody.
"That asshole started it." Said Roman.
"Big talk from a guy with enough grease in his hair to fry a bucket of KFC!" Dean shouts back.
Roman jumps back to brawl but Cody and Seth hold each man back.
"Listen, you guys do what I say. And I say both of you cut the shit until this job is done. My record is clean, and you idiots aren't gonna mess that up." Cody tells them.
Cody brings out his phone and texts someone. He instructs Seth and Dean to walk half a mile down the road towards a local farm. Cody had been at the farm to verify some intel. Both of them need to sneak onto the farm and find a stash of nerve gas that was bought from a foreign trader. He and Roman will sit back from a vantage point and provide sniper support.
"Great, send me in with the loon." Seth said.
"You'll be fine, any problem with Ambrose, hit em with this." Cody told him, handing him his taser.
They all look at Ambrose who shrugs his shoulders and walks out with a non-caring look on his face. Everyone piles into the car, and they head down the road, dropping off Seth and Dean at their walking point. Cody and Roman drive down to a spot with some trees nearby. With pistols drawn, Seth and Dean make their way towards the farm, moving into a barn close by.
"Rollins, Ambrose, do you read me?" Asked Cody from an earpiece.
"Loud and clear." Rollins replied.
"Copy that Power Ranger." Said Ambrose.
Roman and Cody turn their attention to two guards outside the barn. Both let off shots simultaneously, taking out both men with bullets to the head. Cody gives the ok to Rollins and Ambrose to move forward to the house.
"Nice shot." Cody tells Roman. "I heard a lot of good things about you during your training."
"Yeah, I guess." Roman says keeping his eye in his scope.
"Seriously, you got a lot of potential, keep up the good work and I might have a spot for a guy like you on my team."
"Lets just focus on the mission, alright buddy." Said Reigns.
As Seth and Dean close in on the house, Cody comes back on the mic.
"From what I saw earlier, two guys were upstairs, and three were in the kitchen eating. Move wisely and we'll do what we can from up here."
Dean moves around to the back of the old home. Seth rolls to the side, looking up to the second story window. He spots a few loose boards and climbs up the side of the house. Rollins slowly peeks into the window, still balancing on the wall. Two men are in a room playing cards. Rollins pulls his silenced pistol to the window. Preparing to shoot, the board Rollins is standing on snaps and he falls to the ground.
"You alright?" Asks Roman.
"Yeah." Said Rollins groaning.
Back to the ground, Rollins looks up to see the two men aiming pistols out the window down at him. Rollins rolls to the side as they shoot. Cody and Roman pop off shots, killing one guard, and the other one ducking down. Rollins scrambles to his feet, running to the back of the house to find Ambrose. Instead finding two more guards coming out the back door. Rollins lets off a couple shots and quickly turns around. Cody shoots a guard in the shoulder.
"SNIPER!" Yells the other guard, pulling his shot ally into the house.
With Seth making his way back to the front, a body crashes out the window, landing on Rollins.
"What the hell!" Shouts Seth.
"Hahaha, get your head in the game pretty boy." Says Ambrose looking out the window.
"Dude come on, we're in a fight."
Ambrose keeps laughing before being tackled through the broken window. All men on the ground, Seth finally gets the body off him and kicks the guard in the face. Dean crawls over and shoots the guard through the eye.
"We got em pinned down, move in NOW!" Orders Cody while he and Roman keep shooting.
Seth and Dean charge in through the front, going through the kitchen into the dining room. Seth spots another guy coming down the staircase. He and Dean both pour shots into his chest, dropping him down the stairs. The guard with the bullet in his shoulder comes from behind in the kitchen with a pump shotgun, prompting Seth and Dean to head into the living room and duck behind a couch. The last guard reappears and joins his friend, firing more shots.
"Got any ideas? What are you doing?" Seth asked looking at Dean.
Dean had his eyes closed, counting the shots going off. The model of the guns, the speed of the shooter, the clicks of reloading, all running through his head. Like Rainman with firearms, he waited for the shooters to empty their clips. At the precise moment, Dean opens his eyes ready to strike.
"They're reloading!" Dean says popping up. The guards take cover as Ambrose dives over the couch, rushing over to the one with the pistol. Ambrose rams his head into the wall, and shoots him through the jaw with his own pistol. At the same time, Rollins grabs the shotgun off the other guard, and hits him with the taser Cody gave him earlier.
"Damn, that was intense." Said Rollins kneeling down and catching his breath.
"Rollins, Ambrose, are you there?" Asks Cody.
"Yeah we're good, everyone is down, you both can come on down." Seth Replies.
Dean walks over, extending his hand to Seth. He accepts, as Dean helps him up.
"That was sick what you did." Seth tells him. "I've seen people count cards, but not bullets."
"I may have a 5th grade education, but math was always my strongest asset." Dean retorts, smirking.
"Yeah, sorry about giving you shit before. I just needed to know someone had my back in situations like this." Seth Replied.
"Okay don't start getting all sweet on me, lets find this gas." Said Dean looking around.
"I think I saw a safe through the window." Said Seth.
Dean laughed at the thought of Rollins busting his ass, as he saw it from the first floor. Making their way upstairs, Seth led them into the room, finding the pass coded safe.
"Think we should blow it or find the code?" Asks Dean.
"I'm sure he knows something." Says Cody walking in. Roman behind him, dragging the guard with the bloody shoulder, who Rollins tased earlier.
"TALK!" Cody demanded.
With four men surrounding him, he pretty much had no choice.
"18756" he said.
"Thank you." Cody said before shooting him in the face with his custom pistol.
"That was uncalled for." Said Roman.
Cody rolled his eyes before opening the safe. Inside they found a few compressed canisters. All marked with serial numbers.
"Here's the stuff. We're cashing out on this one guys." Cody told them.
Looking around he told Black Cerberus to take whatever they could find. Just keep it to themselves. After looting to their content, they piled back into the car, ready to head home.
"So what's gonna happen with that gas?" Seth asks Cody.
"Don't any of you worry about that, just concentrate on that fat check you're getting. I'd say this mission was a success. However your execution was atrocious and sloppy, and I'm never working with you guys ever again. Agreed?"
Seth and Roman shake their head in agreement. Everyone looks at Dean for an answer, but he's sleeping in the backseat.
"I'll take that as a yes." Says Cody before pulling off.
