Part 4: Time-Kill
Three years ago, when Sasuke was sixteen, before he was a special agent, before he received his orders from the head of the Federal Reserve, and before he received the facial scar, he was a freelance Federal Reserve Agent working for anyone in the Federal Reserve that would pay him.
On one mission, he was went with the J.P. Morgan Delta Force to find, and terminate a high-profile terrorist that had once threatened to destroy the United States.
They went down to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and found him hiding in the favela, and were instructed to track down and kill the terrorist.
"Ok," Forty-seven year old Lieutenant Colonel Joseph MacMillan as the Predator Drone's X-ray-vision scanned the house where their target was located, "They're inside."
Joseph looked over at Sasuke who was standing next to weapons crate, prepping a Beretta 92FS, after twisting a silencer onto the barrel, and loading a magazine, he pulled back on the slide.
"Hey," Joseph said as he walked up to Sasuke, "You ready for this?"
"Yes." Sasuke said.
"You ever kill anyone?" Joseph asked.
"A few," Sasuke said, "Might want to keep you weapon clean LC, otherwise it might end up like Sergeant Jason Alexander's gun."
"Sergeant Alexander's death was tragic," Joseph said, "But it had nothing to do with his weapon."
"It misfired," Sasuke said, "He'd still be alive if it hadn't exploded and blew-off his hand."
"A sniper destroyed the gun, and took of his hand," Joseph said, "That's that."
"I examined it LC," Sasuke said as he took a step closer to Joseph, "His gun exploded, and there were no powder-burns from a fifty-cal."
"That could and might very well be true," Joseph said, "But what happens if you're wrong?"
"I'm not," Sasuke said, "Now are we going to stand around and argue, or are we going to take someone down?"
"Though you'd never ask," Joseph said, "Are you ready?"
"As I'll ever be," Sasuke said as he picked up a suppressed HK MP5, "Let's do this."
The team leapt out the side of the 1995 GMC Vandura, dressed in their black and grey octagon-pattern camo, and carrying their guns, once they were all out, Sasuke shut the side of the Vandura, and banged on the side.
The van moved on, and disappeared from sight when it rounded the street.
"Clear," the Deltas all said simultaneously as they scanned the streets for threats.
"Let's move." Joseph said.
The Deltas moved up the street, "Keep quiet," Sasuke said, "We can't let them know we're coming."
"Copy that," Delta Force Lance Corporal Shino Aburame said as the team moved as quietly as they could.
The favela had been under constant threats of radical gang-violence, several shootings had been reported, and Rio's special police force, the B.O.P.E. had been called in to contain the violence, with some success.
As soon as they rounded a corner, they saw several gang members standing idol, having a smoke.
"Down," Joseph said as the squad dove into cover, right before the gang members spotted them.
Joseph then signaled the team to do a one-bullet-only-takedown, they nodded, activated the pin-point lasers on the side of their guns, popped out from behind cover, and took them all down with one shot each.
After disposing of the bodies, the team continued forward.
"We've had our first contact," Joseph said, "Take out the map, let's get a reading of where we are. Now it's your turn genius, find out where we are."
Shino pulled out the map, laid it across the ground, popped a glow-stick on his arm, and dropped it on the map.
"Alright," Sasuke said as the team formed a defensive-circle around them, and he pointed at where the van was parked on the map which was marked by a red circle, "The van was parked here," Sasuke moved his finger up the streets, "We went up about six streets, which would put us about here," his finger fell on an intersection of buildings that branched off in four different directions, "And our objective is here," Sasuke pointed at the top of the favela on a building that was marked by a red 'X', "If we split up into two teams we could take out their street-patrols as we go, and whoever gets there first could give us a layout of the building and the resistance."
"Ok," Joseph said as he rolled up the map, "You take Shino and Naruto, and take the rooftops. I'll divide the teams up as we proceed."
"Got that," Sasuke said as he gripped the primary grip on his MP5, "Naruto, Shino, let's move."
"Copy." Shino said.
As Sasuke, Shino, and Delta Force Sergeant and Sasuke's best friend Naruto Uzumaki climbed onto the rooftops, and walked, in formation toward their objective.
As they were moving, Sasuke saw that Joseph was moving his part of the team down a spot that the Operation's Commander designated as a no-enter-zone.
"Joseph," Sasuke said as he pressed two fingers to his ear-piece, "Joseph, you're going…," there was nothing but silence, and Joseph just kept going, "Joseph! God-Damn it answer me! Joseph!"
Within one minute, the entire team was surrounded, and captured.
"Shit," Shino said, "Joseph has the map."
"And he's the only one that knows where the extraction point is." Naruto said.
"Then we'll have to get them back before they can arrive at their dumping-zone," Sasuke said, "Let's move."
As they made their way across the city, they followed the team, and as they did, Sasuke noticed that LC Joseph's left cuff was way too loose.
"Keep an eye on Joseph," Sasuke said, "Something is going on, and I don't think it's good."
Sasuke was more right than he knew – when they arrived at the target location, their target, Marcus Miles released Joseph from the handcuffs.
"That son of a bitch," Shino said as the three of them dove into cover, "He's a double?"
"I knew there was a mole in the department," Sasuke said, "I just didn't know who it was."
"I'm going to kill that bastard," Naruto said as he readied his Remington XM2010.
"Wait," Sasuke said as he put his hand on top of the XM2010, "Let's make sure we kill him for good before we do anything like that."
Half an hour later, after stripping his team of their jackets and Kevlar, Joseph pulled out a Colt M1911 .45, and went in for the execution.
As he held the M1911 in the face of one of his soldiers, his shoulder exploded with blood.
As he knelt on the ground, Sasuke and Shino jumped down off of the top of the building, and started shooting at the hostiles, dropping sometimes several in one burst.
As they killed the hostiles, they slowly made their way toward the Delta Force members, and upon reaching them, Sasuke shot their cuffs free.
The Deltas picked up several Ak-47s and Mossberg 500s and started firing along with Sasuke, Shino, and Naruto.
As they were shooting, Marcus picked Joseph up, and they ran, escaping into a 2001 Range Rover.
Joseph and Marcus drove off as fast as they could, but before they could reach the street, Sasuke retrieved a small detonator from his pocket, and set off the c4 he planted in the back of the car.
The explosion set the back of the car on fire, flipped the car, killed Marcus, and left Joseph with two broken legs, and a cut-up face.
As Joseph crawled out the side of the car, and got stuck, the Deltas and Sasuke stood fifty feet away, watching him gag on his own blood, "Lend me that," Sasuke said as he turned toward Shino.
Shino handed the Mossberg to Sasuke who walked toward Joseph.
As he was walking toward Joseph, he gripped the shotgun by the grip, tossed it up, catching it by the pump, and then gave it a quick jolt, ejecting one of the shells, and loading a new one.
After the shell-casing hit the ground, Sasuke flipped the Mossberg around to hold the shotgun by the grip, and walked up to Joseph who was bleeding out of his mouth and nose.
"Not bad genius," Joseph said with a chuckle, "Not bad."
"You have a pretty smart mouth for someone in no position to speak," Sasuke said, "Goodbye."
Sasuke placed the barrel of the shotgun just hovering above Joseph's face, and pulled the trigger: the blood that coated the ground was like a pool.
As the team walked toward their extraction zone, they came under fire from enemy militia looking for revenge.
"We're taking fire," Sasuke exclaimed as he placed two fingers to his ear-piece, turned around with the Deltas, and fired at the hostiles, "Echo-one-Bravo, get your ass to that extraction-point now!"
"We read you Delta," the chopper-pilot said, "We're going as fast as we can."
"Well it's not fast enough," Sasuke said as the team dropped their weapons, and ran, "Get there on the double, we need to get out of here!"
"We're going as fast as we can Delta," the pilot said, "We go any faster, we'll end up breaking up before we can reach you."
The team eventually reached the extraction-point, and as they did, the Bell-Boeing Osprey touched down, and as they all crowded in, the hostiles started running toward them, just waving their guns around.
Right after the chopper took off, the team all cheered as Sasuke stood at the bullet-ridden back-gate, and watched as the favela got smaller in the back-ground.
Now Naruto comes in, he will come in again…
