Flight
The sound of gunshots could be heard across the beach. Several Templar gunmen were dead or wounded. They were firing inside the house to no avail. The two Assassins inside the house were like ghosts, they vanished behind covers and popped up at the most unexpected places. Even with their rifles, the Templars were finding it hard to find their marks.
The firefight was still ongoing until the Commanding Officer of the strike team called for his men to cease-fire. The remaining Templars moved to the back of their vans and huddled behind cover. The CO said to them,
"These men wont give up. They've got multiple hiding points and we are short of bodies to cover all points. We have rifles, they have handguns. We're gonna get inside the house and flush them out."
The CO quickly counted his men. Just 12 remaining. He split them in teams of four. Team 1 would infiltrate through the door, which was hanging on it's hinges. Team 2 would surround the house from 4 points. Team 3 would head father into the beach and cover the bare windows from which the assassins could fire back.
Team 2 and Team 3 headed to their designated points and took positions as Team 1 walked up the stairs. The first man shoved the hanging door and it fell apart. The four men rushed inside the house. Desmond jumped from the first floor as the men entered, rifles trained high. The men fired after Desmond, a mere blur as he landed on the floor and rolled over, taking cover behind a thick wooden beam. Bourne took opportunity of this distraction and flanked the 3 men closest to him. In a state of panic, the remaining Templar fumbled. Two shots brought him to a swift death.
When there was no reply from Team 1, the other teams contemplated their next move. Their discussion were cut short when the CO got a call. A high ranking Templar had ordered them to fall back. Amused and concerned, Desmond and Bourne watched as the remaining Templars retreated.
"We need to find Shaun and Rebecca." Bourne said quietly.
"I know where they went." Desmond replied.
They were on their way to a safe house within the hour. But they were far from safe.
