As I lead my team to the upstairs level, we could hear several people whispering frantically. Whoever was up there, knew we were here. -
When we reached the top of the stairs, there was one door leading to the room that the sounds were coming from. Link murmured quietly, "Hey, what's the plan? Barge in there on three?" "No," I replied. "Anyone have a stun grenade?" In response to my question, Deuce quietly rummaged through his backpack pulling out a stun grenade, then carefully handed it to me. I hastily armed the stunner, flung open the door, then aggressively tossed it inside. In the following seconds, the room imploded with chaos. We heard heavy footsteps and screaming, "STUN GRENADE! NOOOO!" Silencing their pleas for mercy, the room flashed blue from the grenade and sent their bodies tumbling to the floor with a thud. Now speaking in a normal voice, I ordered, "Let's see if Jelkins is in there. Remember, we want him alive. Kill any other rebels that are stunned." I ripped open the door to the room and we marched in. When suddenly, out of nowhere, "BAM!" Deuce collapsed to the floor after being shot in the back. "THUD" Link hollered, "DEUCE! NOOOO!" "WHERE'S THE HOSTILE?!" I yelled while frantically aiming my E-11 around the room. Taking me by surprise, a unfamiliar voice spoke from behind me, "I'm right here." As I whipped around to face the voice, I was instantly stabbed in the stomach several times. I groaned as a collapsed to the floor, "GAFFH! LINK! HELP!" Link immediately charged the man engaging in hand to hand combat. They tussled angrily with each other, as I laid helpless on the floor clutching my bloodied stomach.
