I leaned over the small bump of snow. In front of me was the enemy headquarters. Pinky and I were tasked with infiltrating it and taking out the general. The rest had the base surrounded. Although there were four guards, one on each corner of the base, we were nearly invisible with our Advanced Adaptation Camouflage System.
I spoke into my headset. "Set 1, execute." 'Sets' were basically stages of an operation. Although not used in common military terminology, it kept things organized. Instantly, all four guards fell from the Advanced Stabilized Silenced Sniper Rifle or the SR-89. You could see the shot literally take off half the skull as the guards fell.
"Set 2, execute." The soldiers near the weapons were taken out and dragged away while explosions were set. "Set 3, executing." That was my cue. Pinky and I silently dragged ourselves to the headquarters, the only thing exposing us were our shapes.
All of a sudden, a security officer came out. I pulled the trigger and silently gunned him down. He didn't go down quietly though, he went down screaming his lungs out. My senses suddenly became enhanced as fear struck through me. Five soldiers had come out to investigate and they had seen us. I fired five rounds, five fell. I stood up and ran.
The alarm blared. I screamed into my headset, "Save 3 execute!" That was our panic option. We would plant charges on the whole building and blow everything to hell while taking out as many of them as we could. I rushed towards the building and took out a pack of the primitive, yet effective C-4. All of us had done the same. Soldiers had come out, trying to delay us from coming in to take out the general. But that wasn't our goal. As soon as I had taken cover, we pressed the trigger. A massive explosion of C-4 occurred.
All
the soldiers that had come out either died from the explosion or were
crushed to death by the debris. We advanced cautiously. No enemies
popped up. I started digging through the rubble and found the
general. He was still alive. I shot him in the head but he fired
first.
He instantly died while I didn't. I was bleeding from a
hole just above my hipbone on the right. I staggered back and winced
at the pain. The snow around me turned red as I swung around. Pinky,
who was at my side the whole time, screamed for a medic.
As the medic ran across to me, I could tell he was worried. This was expected to be a quick operation, with no flaws. He had brought a minimum amount of equipment for this situation. The only thing he could do was bandage it. After the bleeding had stopped, he gave me a shot of morphine.
"You are one lucky guy, man. Just missed your gut. Tomorrow we're gonna do the real thing. We're gonna break through enemy lines with a few jarheads." With that, Pinky walked away.
