Chapter 11
"Omega leader your objective is to hunt down the Shifter and bring it back to base dead or alive, failure is not an option understand" "yes commander Jackson we'll get it done" the leader of omega team codenamed snake nest said. "There is a homing beacon on the Shifter so you know where it is now go". The leader of snake nest exited the room and walked down to the barracks where his team waited.
Snake nest consisted of seven people, Alex codenamed King Cobra (class: leader), Ciara codenamed python (class: Stealth), John codenamed Anaconda (class: demolition), Jason codenamed cobra (class: assault), Jen codenamed viper (class: medic), Jane codenamed (class: field scientist), and Ron (pilot).
Alex's POV
I really don't want to go track down Aaron, we had somewhat of a good friendship. We normally watched him when he went out of the compound, I walked into the room where the others waited. "Well" Ciara asked "we have to bring him back dead or alive" I said causing most of them to sigh, "you know Jackson is probably the only person here at the compound that hates Aaron even the kids loved him" Jane said.
I nodded before we headed to the armory to suit up. After we had our armor and weapons we proceeded to a helicopter and climbed him before it took off, "anyone here hate this mission" Ron asked and we all said yes.
After thirty minutes we passed a destroyed bridge and a house, we landed in front of the house and climbed out.
"He's in there" Jason said and I walked to the door and knocked, it opened only to reveal a little girl. "Hi who are you guys" she asked a smile never leaving her face, "um… is Aaron home" I asked and she nodded before she called his name, a few seconds later he came down the stairs and froze as soon as he saw us.
"Anna go play with Sam I think I'll need to talk to them alone" she nodded and ran out the back, "what are you guys doing here" "Commander Jackass wants us to bring you back to the base but we'd rather not" "and you can't say no" "we did but no one else would take the offer so here we are" I said before I heard Jackson's voice.
"Have you located the Shifter yet" I picked up the radio and said "not yet but we're close the signal's getting stronger" "hurry up", I quickly grabbed Aaron's jacket and took it off of him before I reached in one of the pockets and pulled the tracker out. "This was how he could track you" I said before I put it in my pocket, "listen Miguel had told us about Jackson's grudge against you and begged us to help you out so what can we do" I said before I heard yelling on the other side of the comms channel.
"This isn't right Jackson and you know it" Miguel yelled "the Shifter will be dragged back here dead or alive no matter what you say Miguel it won't matter" I heard a gunshot before Jackson's voice spoke up "Omega team how dare you try to betray me I've already contacted beta team and now they will go over to where you are and kill all of you then they will take the Shifter and drag it back to me, you will regret crossing me King Cobra" he said before he turned off the radio.
"So much for getting paid" John said "well knowing beta they'll be screaming and shooting recklessly but from what I've seen they're a bunch of idiots" I said before I heard an explosion and our pilot ran in the room, "our helicopter just got blown up".
I sighed before I loaded my type 95 rifle and looked out the door and saw four people running towards the house, I tossed a flash and a frag and waited for the explosion before I looked out the door. "WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED" I heard the leader yell before I walked out and expected the damage, all of his team except for him were dead.
I lifted him up by the collar and punched him in the face knocking him down, "you think you're so special but you're just an idiot" I began kicking him before I shot him with my gun. "Ok got us a ride, now let's go have a talk with Jackson". I picked him up and threw him in before the others along with Aaron's group climbed in.
