Darwin Waterson

Darwin's POV:

I looked out the window of the Hind. I was half looking for gumball's soldiers, and half thinking about what shadez would do if he found out who I really was.

Shadez:"I'm going to land here. This is as far as we can go before they here the chopper."

Shadez then landed the the helicopter and we got out.

Shadez:"The base is still about a mile away,will leg it from here. Turn on your night vision."

I then turned my night vision on and followed Shadez.

10 minuets later.

"Get down!" Shadez whispered.

There was a guard in front of us. He then turned around and started smoking.

Shadez:"Take him out quietly or wait for him to leave, your call.

I then got up quietly and grabbed my knife and walked up to him. I then put my hand over his mouth and slit his throat. Shadez then grabed him and carried him to some bushes. We then made our way to a metal wired fence with barbed wire on top.

Shadez:"Well we can't go over it, looks like were gonna have to go through it. Look for an opening."

We then proceeded to look for a hole in the fence.

"Found one, over here."

Shadez an I then went through the hole and hid behind an inter modal container. Shadez then peaked his head around the corner.

Shadez:"Get down now."

Two armored cars then drove past us. We were right next to a dirt road. The only thing keeping us out of sight was the container to the left of us. Shadez then got up and peeked out again.

Shadez:"Lets go."

The main building was right in front of us, we sprinted for it. Shadez then looked around the corner again.

Shadez:"No one saw us. Follow me."

I then followed Shadez up a flight of stairs on the side of the building that lead to the second flour. We then saw a door that lead to the inside of the base. Shadez opened it slowly and I followed him. We then proceeded down a few long hallways until Shadez saw a guy around the corner.

Shadez:"Hold up. I'll handle this."

Shadez then got out his knife and slit the guys throat.

Shadez:"No time to hide the body, we gotta move."

We then continued up a flight of stairs at the end of hall. At the end of the stairs there was another hall. We kept going down the hall until Shadez stopped at a door.

Shadez:"Hang on."

Shadez then pulled out a diagram of the main building.

Shadez:"Through this door is the command center. Put a kicker charge on the door."

I then put the charge on door and pushed the button. The door then exploded, we went through the door and killed everyone in the room. We checked the security monitors for the barracks and bedrooms. Gumball and Penny were no ware in sight.

Shadez:"There not here."

"They must of been in those armored cars."

Shadez:"Right. Lets get out of here before..."

Just then an alarm went off.

Shadez:"Damn, They know were hear. We gotta get the hell outta here. Grab what ever intel you can.

Shadez then placed a c4 charge on the wall that led to the vehicle garage, and blew it. There was a big explosion and a hole in the wall.

Shadez:"Come on lets go!"

We then jumped out of the hole and went strait tor-ed's the closest vehicle. We then began taking fire from the soldiers when we got in the jeep.

Shadez:" Damn i'll have to hot wire it, cover me."

I then laid down a line of covering fire for Shadez, shooting anything that moved. The car then stated.

Shadez:"Hang on."

Shadez then took off out of the garage making a hard left."Hold on to something."Shadez said as he was about ram through the fence. After Shadez rammed through the fence I turned around and started shooting back at the soldiers. Then I saw two more jeeps chasing after us.

"Shadez we got a problem."

Shadez:"What is it?"

"We got two jeeps on our six."

Shadez:"Shoot the drivers!"

I then shot the drivers and both cars went out of control, crashing into each other and exploding.

Shadez:"You got the files?

"Right here"

Shadez:"Alright look through them until you find out were they are."

3 minuets later

Shadez:"Were here. Lets get in the Hind."

"Ok"

As the helicopter took off I found something in the files about were gumball and penny were.

"Hey Shadez."

Shadez:"Yeah?"

"I know were their at."

Shadez:"Were?"

"Chogha Zanbil."

Shadez:"How are we gonna get to Chogha Zanbil? Our rout is blocked by United States Marines."

"That's just it. I know a general in charge of the marines who owes me a favor."

Shadez:"Who?"

"Major General, Tobias."
