Love Struck
Chapter 140 - Shadow's Problem, Archer's Mission
Archer's POV
"Our scouts in the field say Dreil and his boys are hiding somewhere in the city. Are best scout who is the closest says they are inside one of the hotels near Club Rocka. He said that Dreil has his men doing walking patrols around the interior and their mainly on the fifteenth floor. He had nothing on Dreil." Stated Hannon as I walked through the crowd of partiers.
"So I could be just doing this for nothing and Dreil isn't there?" I asked.
"We don't know but you have a photo so it may be best to look for him before you attack." Replied Hannon as I reached Club Rocka.
"Anything else?" I asked as I entered the music.
"Your evac will be waiting for you a few blocks away inside an alley across from the hotel." Informed Hannon as I cut through the dance floor.
"We will have a sniper covering you from across the hotel when the shit hit's the fan. I'm patching him in so good luck and come back safe." Ordered Hannon as I heard his mic go off.
I reached the back door to the club and walked out into the alley to find the hotel across the street.
"Charlie 2-9 this is Range 6-2 come in." Ordered my cover I'm guessing over the comm link.
"I'm here Range 6-2." I replied while stopping at the exit to the alley.
"I see you. Look up and to the left." He ordered as I looked to see his scope glaring.
"You got my back from there?" I asked as I waited.
"Don't worry your covered the whole way. Dreil and his boys are inside the suite on the fifteenth floor." Replied Range 6-2.
"What about civilians?" I asked as I looked up at the floor.
"Dreil rented out the floor so it should be clear." Replied Range 6-2.
"Anything else?" I asked as I began walking.
"You need to confirm Dreil's presents so I would check the check in list to see for his name." Replied Range 6-2.
"Which is?" I asked as I reached the entrance to the hotel.
"Ken Rogers." Replied Range 6-2 as I approached the check in counter.
"Alright am going in just be ready on that floor. I'll let you know when I'm going up." I stated as I shut down the comm link.
The woman at the counter smiled as I approached. I looked like a normal person. I stuck to wearing jeans and a short sleeve shirt, but I had my vest underneath. I wanted to look as civil as possible so it would be easy to sneak in.
"Hello sir, how may I help you?" Asked the lady as I stopped at the counter.
"Ahhh yes, I wanted to know if my brother was here today." I replied as she grabbed the check in list.
"What's his name?" She asked as I replied.
"Ken Rogers."
Slowly she scanned the list and replied.
"Yes sir he is but he doesn't have anyone up for visits, so I'm afraid you can't see him today."
"Is there any way I can get up to see him?" I asked as I got closer to her.
"I'm sorry sir, but no. I could call him if you want to see if it's ok for you to go up?" She replied as I rested my hands on the counter.
"It needs to be a surprise. I don't want him to know I'm coming." I replied as she looked into my eyes.
"I'm sorry sir, but it's something I can't do sorry." She replied as I stood up.
Slowly I reached for her and placed my hand on the side of her arm.
The lady looked at me in confusion as I said.
"I can make it worth your while."
"Ahhh sir?" She replied as I asked
"A beautiful woman like you has to have a boyfriend right?"
She blushed and replied.
"I'm afraid not sir."
"My name's John." I stated as she replied.
"I'm Ashley."
Quickly I smiled and took her hand.
"Well Ashley, how about we go "work" this out?" I asked her as she slowly came out from the desk.
"Ok." She replied as she lead me to the back room.
I followed holding her hand and as soon as we made it to the spot she locked the door and asked.
"How do you want to work this out?"
With a smile I pressed my lips against hers and began to kiss her as slowly and romantically as possible.
With shock she kissed back letting herself fall down on the small table that was back here.
To gain some time I stuck my tongue inside her soft human mouth and began to feel her thigh.
She moaned as she went for my pants and the second she grabbed my belt I went behind my back.
We stared at each other with red faces and slowly she said.
"Take me."
With a smile I replied.
"Gladly."
With speed I pulled out my knife and slammed it into her neck.
Her eyes widened in shock and pain as blood rolled onto my hand.
With a smile I began to kiss her letting her blood go in my mouth.
Slowly as I kissed her she died and with ease I retracted and ripped out my blade letting her drip onto the floor from the small table where her body laid.
With a deep breath I went into her skirt to pull out the keycard she had on her.
I quickly looked at it to see it was one of the elevator cards. I can use this to get onto Dreil's floor.
Quickly I let it rest on the table next to Ashley's body and began to look around.
To my happiness I found an employee outfit. I checked to make sure it was one I needed.
Noticing it was one of the servant's uniforms I got undressed.
After a few seconds I wore the uniform and went back to the dead girl.
I snatched up the keycard and made my way out into the lobby where people waited for service.
"Where is the help in this hotel!?" Asked one of the men as I came out.
"She went to the bathroom! She'll be back in a few seconds just wait sir!" I begged as I went for the elevator.
After that was solved I entered the elevator to see where the keycard went in.
Slowly I swept it and hit the fifteenth floor.
With ease I turned on my comm link.
"Range 6-2 I'm going up get ready, but only on my word." I ordered as he replied.
"Alright Charlie 2-9 I'm ready."
"Bing!"
The elevator opened and immediately I was approached by one of the guards.
"What are you doing here?" He asked as I stayed in the elevator.
I had no idea what to say.
"Ahhhhh…ahhhhh…room service?"
The guard looked at me in confusion as I pulled out my M9.
"Toof."
The silenced bullet drilled his head dropping him and as soon as he was still I dragged him into the elevator.
Quickly I shut the door and got the man undressed.
Ripping off the uniform I wore I took his suit and black sunglasses putting it all on. Quickly I shoved his body in the corner and reopened the door to find another guard looking at the blood on the wall.
He panicked as I came out and I shot too fast for him to react.
"Toof."
His head banged on the wall as I continued to walk down the hall as one of them.
I didn't see anyone else as Range 6-2 asked.
"You're the one walking right?"
I quickly looked out the window and waved my hand at him.
"Ok, I got it." He assured me as I continued to make my way through the floor.
The second I turned the corner I walked right into Dreil who quickly shouted.
"Get the fuck out of my way!"
Immediately I moved aside and began to follow with the rest of his guards.
Dreil was making his way to a room down the hall and as we walked he shouted.
"The rebellion already fucked me over once with their fucking Intel and now I will make sure I get revenge!"
As we walked I saw Range aiming at him.
Using my hand I gave a signal to hold fire.
"Got it." Replied Range 6-2 quietly as Dreil slammed open the door.
We all entered about ten of us and Dreil approached the couch grabbing one of the many suitcases.
"It took me too long to get all this and you better come through with your end of the deal!" Ordered Dreil as he pointed at a man who looked different then all us.
"I have the money don't threat. Let's see it to be sure." He ordered as Dreil popped open the cases.
My eyes widened behind my sunglasses as I saw each one was a large composite of C4.
The rest of the guards clapped as the buyer I'm guessing opened his case showing the money. It was a lot of cash.
Dreil smiled at the money and asked.
"How much!?"
"Five hundred thousand dollars." Replied the buyer as Dreil shook his hand.
I stared at the bombs as Dreil looked at me.
"Now what about the weapons?" Asked the buyer as Dreil took his eyes off me.
"Right here!" He stated as he pulled out another case to open up.
Everyone stared at the handgun as Dreil pulled it out.
"Custom B23R Rapid fire M9 handgun. Built in silencer and select fire setting. Also comes with turn off and turn on laser sight along with armor piercing rounds." Stated Dreil as he looked at me.
"Let's see." Ordered the buyer as Dreil replied.
"Fine!"
Instantly Dreil lifted the gun and pulled the trigger.
"Toof. Toof. Toof."
I moved aside to see that Dreil had been eyeing the guy next to me.
His blood rolled onto the floor and quickly he dropped dead as Dreil asked.
"Proof enough!?"
The buyer nodded and replied.
"We have a deal."
Dreil smiled as I looked at the dead guy.
"Get the cases loaded onto the truck! We're moving out!" Ordered Dreil as he took the money case from the buyer.
I had to do something and fast.
"What do we do?" Asked Range 6-2 as I stared at Dreil who held the money.
Not thinking I ran at him.
"AGHHHHHHH!" Dreil was caught off guard as I tackled him towards the glass window.
"SMASH!"
All of Dreil's guards and the buyer panicked as I fell with Dreil and the money case landed on the floor where Dreil once was standing.
"HOLY SHIT!" Screamed Range 6-2 as me and Dreil fell down the side of the hotel.
Dreil tried to look back to see where we were going but it was too late.
I saw what I was doing before I choose to do this stunt and thank god it worked.
"SMASH!"
Both Dreil and me landed on the roof of Club Rocka and it hurt like hell that had to have been ten floors of drop.
Dreil and me screamed as we rolled apart and I can guess I broke something but not as bad as him.
"Charlie 2-9 come in!" Ordered Range 6-2 as I looked at Dreil who tried to get up.
Both me and Dreil barely stood up and as soon as I could I charged him.
"AGHHHHH!" I screamed as Dreil countered my charge.
"FUCK YOU!" He screamed as he lifted me over his back slamming me back first on the roof.
"AGHHHH!" I screamed in pain as Dreil aimed the B23R at my head.
Flashback
"Oh fuck." I said to myself as I witness the bodies at the boarders.
I immediately went for the alarm and it was a shock once someone took my hand before I could hit the switch.
I slowly stared at the black grip glove and gently looked over into the dark black tinted helmet.
My heart pounded as he raised his left hand to his face.
"Shhhhhh." He whispered as he stared at me.
I immediate went for my gun and he was already one step ahead.
"Aghhhhh!"
I slowly looked down to find his blade sticking in my stomach.
Blood gently dripped up and out of my mouth as he ripped it out.
"Shhhhhh." He whispered again as I began to get on my knees.
The assassin helped me rest and gently he laid me back on onto the cold wood floor.
I held my vision open and on him as he let my head rest down gently.
Blood drooled down my face as he reached for his rifle.
I couldn't move. I was finished. I'm sorry Jason.
The soldier carefully aimed at my head and I slowly shut my eyes as I heard the incoming round.
"Toof!"
End Of Flashback
"Not going to happen this time!" I shouted at Dreil as he gripped the trigger.
Immediately I used my legs to trip him up sending him on the ground and the gun off the roof.
Dreil's face smacked the concrete of the roof as I rolled on top of him wrapping my arms around his neck.
"Ughhhhhhh!" He gagged for air as I choked him.
I saw his eyes lowering as I went for my knife.
As hard as I could I smashed it into his side
Blood squirted out onto my arms as he hit the ground hard.
As soon as he went still I pulled the blade out and stood up looking at the dead body.
"Charlie 2-9 come in please!"
"I'm here Range what's wrong!?" I asked as he replied.
"Dreil's men and the buyer are leaving the hotel using a large truck. They have the bombs and are heading for the base!"
My eyes widened as I ordered.
"Stop them!"
"I can't their coming your way!" Replied Range as I looked over the edge of the building to see the large truck turn the corner.
"You have to stop them or they will kill everyone at the base!" Screamed Range as I jumped onto the ground nearly hitting my face.
The clubbers panicked as they saw my knife and immediately I screamed.
"Move!"
They all backed up as I ran into the center of the street.
The truck came driving at me as fast as possible as I heard Range scream.
"What the fuck are you doing!?"
The second the truck was close enough to hitting me I jumped up slamming my body into the windshield.
My knife was sent out of my hand from the force of the hit.
The men inside panicked as I tried to recover.
My face dripped blood onto their view and as best as I could I climbed up onto the cargo of the truck.
"Kill him!" Ordered the buyer as I saw one of his men come out from the window.
"Toof. Toof."
I barely shot the guy and watched as he fell out of the truck.
His body was ran over by the car behind us and I watched as it rolled into a building.
As I tried to come up with something I saw another climb up from the truck.
"Toof. Toof. Toof."
He fell just like the last one and quickly I crawled my way to the back of the truck.
Being extra careful I climbed down to where the latch to the back was and aimed at the back tires.
"Toof. Toof."
The tires popped at the bullets and quickly the truck began to swirl to the right.
Using it I went to the next set of tires.
"Toof. Toof."
Sparks flew up as the truck began to lose control.
I had no protection from this crash.
I hung on as the truck rolled over on its side with me barely hanging on to the back.
"AGHHHHH!" Screamed civilians as we smashed into a building.
The gas from the truck began to leak creating a large flame and I had to get the bombs out before it reached them otherwise we all were die.
Blood rolled off my body as I found a piece of metal in my side from the edge of the truck.
I let it stay there as I opened the back of the truck to find five guards groaning in pain from the crash.
Quickly I aimed at them as they begged not to die.
"Toof. Toof. Toof. Toof. Toof."
Each died from a headshot as the flames got closer and closer.
The cases were all scattered and I grabbed as many as I could and went out of the truck.
Using all I had I tossed them as far as I could which was just enough so they wouldn't go off.
Quickly I went back to get the rest and the flames reached the tuck.
Just barely I managed to get the cases out and I had to back up because the flames were now coming inside the truck.
"Shit!" I shouted as I was now going to be burned alive.
My back hit the wall and I widened my eyes to see it lead to the drivers seat where the buyer rested dead.
Using my hand I broke the glass and climbed inside.
My eyes widened as I saw the money case and quickly I grabbed it and kicked open the passenger door for my way out.
People watched as I climbed out and landed on the ground.
The fire was dieing down due to enclosure and in massive pain I got up to where the suitcases were.
I quickly gathered them up and popped open each one to see they were the bombs.
All ten laid here and slowly I shut them all to fall on the ground in pain.
I took deep breaths full of blood as people approached me.
They didn't get close though.
As I laid there I heard someone running.
His legs entered my view to see it was a cat.
"I got you Charlie!" He stated as I saw it was Range. He lowered his sniper rifle and got me on my back.
Cuts and bruises covered me along with a large metal piece coming from my side.
"Your going to be ok!" He stated as I looked at the metal.
"I got all the bombs." I stated as he looked at the cases.
"I don't know how, but you should be dead! Thank god you did though otherwise we might have called this war a loss!" Replied Range as a few Humvees came up to us.
Men came out and ran to us.
"Medic!" Shouted one of the squad leaders as I continued to breath.
In no time a medic got me in his arms and began to go to work.
"What happened?" Asked the squad leader as Range replied.
"Dreil and his men where heading to the base with a large amount of C4. They were going to blow up the base."
The soldiers looked at me in shock as I added.
"I managed to stop them. The bombs are in the suitcases there and this one has the money used to by them with from the buyer."
Quickly the soldiers took the cases away and asked.
"Is Dreil dead?"
I nodded.
"You'll find his body on top of Club Rocka."
The squad leader nodded while looking at his men.
"Go get the body and bring it back to base!" He ordered as his men moved out.
"How the hell did you stop this from happening?" Asked the medic as he slowly pulled out the metal.
I flinched in pain and replied.
"I failed once from protecting Shadow and I wasn't about to let it happen again."
The soldiers nodded and as soon as the medic was done he ordered.
"Let's get him back to base."
The squad leader nodded as Range got me up.
Soon enough I was escorted to the Humvee for the ride back to base.
I can't believe I didn't die.
I added that flashback for a reason but I didn't explain it in detail. I will don't worry and the next chapter will be soon.
