The Beginning Pt. II
The weather only got worse as the temperature was dropping even more and Quinton's men were on standby waiting in there designated locates, (SHRK-SHRK-SHRKKK) " Aye what the fuck are you doing Lieutenant!?! We freezing our ass off waiting for you to send the babies out of the nest and into this goddamn mission Son. Are y'all enjoying the hot chocolate up there if so send the newbies down here and bring us a cup IT's COLD AS FUCK MANE." Replied the Brolic African male over the walkie talkie. Quinton ignored the sly remark that was made and finally the objectives for the two boys was ready to commence.
Quinton readied the grappling hook for Jabari to climb down. "Remember Jabari The boss wants you to head for the main entrance gate of the building. Your Ace will tag anything that is an enemy target, if you are in the slightest of trouble i will signal HIM to shoot for your safety of back up after all that is what ACE'S are for they make sure the infiltrator is good on his 6." Jabari nodded his head in assurance of the instructions that were given to him. As Quinton walked him to the edge of building he strapped him on his harness and told him how to properly use the grappling device. He propped Jabari on the edge of building that would lead him to his location. " Remember hold on to the line and jump your way down; take your time let your feet feel the glass of the building and jump then repeat."
Before Jabari prepared for the leap of faith he looked down and he suddenly became stiff for the height of which he was about climb was a high and steep climb down and the hue in his eye would go from a brown to a greyish brown signalling he was afraid. Quinton knew that if Jabari were to make the even smallest mistake that the rope would shoot him down and he only had two outcomes. One if he uses the strength in his back and lift his head upright he would only suffer from a month's worth of muscles spasms in the back and neck area or the second option if the rope breaks due to the altitude he fall to his death, but that was an inside joke to himself for he knew that he would not let anything happen to the boys.
As Jabari's body began to respond without any thought or reaction he went ahead and began to slide down the building. he would have his feet pressed on the icy glass window while gripping on the rope to maintain his balance. As he continued to climb down to the middle level building his foot would suddenly lose its place causing him to slip and the wind only made it worse for it cause him to suddenly sway East of where the strong gust of wind was coming from.
(Fuwizzz) Quinton took a look the at grappling stand and noticed the line was sloping pretty fast, "Shit" replied Quinton as rushed to the grappling stand to press a button that would stop the rope from slinging Jabari down landing head first on the concrete. It did not take long for Quinton to stand on top of the building to check Jabari to see if he was ok, "Are you alright!" Replied Quinton in a concern manner. Jabari could be seen dangling with his arms out and legs bent, but he mustered up the strength to rise his head and with no expressions in his eye but just looking bored raised his right arm in the air and would give the lieutenant a thumbs up telling him he was ok.
It relieved The Lieutenant that the young teen was alright, but in the back of his mind he thought to himself, "Maybe I should not joke in that way or The Boss will have my head and serve it on a platter to a bunch of hungry dogs on the streets." He would put his left hand over his face to cover up his embarrassment that he caused from his thoughts. Jabari would finally get his bearings where it needed to be by replacing his footing back in the proper position and his hands back to gripping the rope and began to continue to climb down the tower with the cold air guiding him gently not letting him miss a single climb as he went further down the tower to reach the snowy grounds of the street.
He would finally touch the chilling floors of Mother Nature for he would then let go of the grappling hook and then he would begin to unsnap the harness that kept him secure and safe. As he looked up at the very top of the tower he could see a small Lieutenant Quinton standing on top of the building looking down at him with his right leg still bent and his foot on the edge of the building and his right arm would rest on his knee while his hand was relaxed with no support. "My God what an amazing kid maybe there might be some hope for him after all." Replied Quinton under his breath. Suddenly a quick twitch was brought on the lieutenant's face he would have his left hand feel the expression in the cold desert, "I...I am smiling at this kid...no way it's gotta be bit from the Frost." Thought Quinton.
(SHRK-SHRKK-SHRKKK) "Alright Lieutenant Quinton Sir, I have landed on the Quantum floors and now I am heading to the main entrance gate." Replied Jabari through the walkie talkie to report to Quinton. The Lieutenant quickly shook off the awe moment he grew and looked at the eagared young Italian ACE who was ready for his task at hand. Quinton would then step back from the tower of which he posted himself from to walk past the ACE and thus look back at him and with his right arm raised up and his elbow bent and he would have his thumb, pinky finger and ring finger closed together forming a circle when they touched and his pointer finger and middle finger were pointed in the air thus he would flick them toward his direction to signal the ACE to follow him back on the helicopter.
As the helicopter began to close the passenger door it began to rise back into the air with only the young ACE and Quinton inside. As they both began to take a seat across each other the Lieutenant would begin to look at the boy in a serious manner and began to explain to the ACE what he needed to know, "You and I are going to a different part of the playing field. For ACE's you must be able to see everything in your path; from where your partner is located and to also know who your targets are as well. Let's just say that ACE's are the reason why missions are complete.
Your Target is The leader of Quantum: Maxwell Cornelius he is a corrupt businessman who has sullied Levicus products for sometime now, we setup a Negotiation to exchange items but he only cared about the profit of what he gained from us without properly thanking us so we are taking back what's rightfully ours." Replied Quinton. After the debriefing was done the lieutenant would pull out a device from his pocket. Once he proceeded he would then press a button on the handheld that would show a picture of the Businessman Maxwell.
By the look of the projection of him he was a Caucasian male in his late 40s early 50s. He was approximately 6'5" and His hair color was that of a roasted chestnut brown that was slicked back with finger pressed lines that made it look spaced out, He had a 5 o'clock shadow that suited him well, His eyes were of a deep sea blue, with a pinstripe suit with 24 carat gold cufflinks on the sleeves, and to finish it off he would have a heavy bolt 24 carat gold watch as well. As The young ACE analized the target he took everything the lieutenant said to consideration and shook his head in understance of his mission.
At ground level of the mission, Jabari's neck would turn to the right side with his head facing towards the Evening sky to see the helicopter move further away from the vantage point tower and turn into a little speck until it was completely out of his sight. He would then proceed with his task by beginning to dash through the unknown outskirts causing every street light to flicker that he came across like a shadow lurking through the dark.
As he continued towards his destination he would notice that the snow was with him every step of the way for once he finally reached the main entrance of the gate his footprints were covered leaving no trace of his presence ever being known. He would begin to get caught in a trance as he lift his head up and closed his eye to let the snowflakes touch his face and for it also made his afro turn white as the snow continued to flurry in the night. It would not take long for him to open his eye and continue with his infiltration. (SHRKK-SHRKKK-SHRKKKK) "I have made it to the main entrance Sir." Replied Jabari to report to Quinton.
The lieutenant caught wind that he made it to his destination. He would continue to help the young ACE set up his rifle stand while the boy would ready his rifle. He would put together the components to his weapon by first attaching each material to there specific place then he would begin to place one long rifle bullet into the chamber and with a loud (Click-Clack) his weapon was ready for shooting. Quinton looked in the case and he would give the boy two last components his scope and his silencer to attach and thus he was all set ready for action. "I'm going to need you to take off your jacket and sweats for this one son." Said Quinton to the young ACE.
The boy looked at his commanding officer with an are you kidding me look, but the lieutenant was not kidding around and he give him a look that he meant every exact word that came from his mouth. The boy would shake his head to the silly request, but honored his wishes and thus he took off his warm jacket and sweats and was only down to his exoskeleton suit only. "I need you to now lay on the ground with your body flat and you in battle position." Demanded Quinton to the ACE. "Ah, C'mon it's freezing like hell I refuse to lie on the ground no way Sir!" Replied the ACE to Quinton. The lieutenant then grab the boy's left wrist and stretched his arm out thus he would go for the sweep under his legs and slammed him to the ground.
"Now give it about 30 seconds boy, there's no time to waste on such trivial games. Your partner's life is at stake if you want to be a little wimp then after this mission sign up for the cubicle." Responded Quinton. It fluster the Ace so much that he began to sigh but began to again honor his wishes. The boy started to notice that his body was disappearing and started to blend in with his environment. He was in such awe that he almost jumped up with excitement but he knew Quinton was not the one to play with when it comes to such a task like this.
"This is the latest Levicus Technology known as The Chameleon Tech. What this does is make you blend in with your surroundings the mini circular pixels on the suit acts like a camera so it can recognize its surroundings. Once you lay down or stand near an object it will turn you into the very thing that you are near." Replied Quinton.
While the young ACE was being occupied by the suit's ability that would turn him invisible, Quinton would pull his binoculars from out of the left side of his pocket to see how his recruits were doing. He would shift his gaze to his left to see how the Big Man's men were doing and then he would turn to his right to see how Jabari was doing.
Jabari would look at a 40 foot high heavy duty security gate with steel fence crossing in front of it. There would be a sign in the middle of the gate that read: NO TRESPASSING QUANTUM STAFF ONLY: VIOLATORS WILL BE DEALT WITH ACCORDING TO ANOR LAWS. He knew there was no proper way of actually climbing the gate, stuck and confused the young infiltrator would look around for a strong object that would hold his weight for when he prepare for an acrobatic jump that would at least bring him to the railing of gate for him to grab a hold of.
He would come across several Quantum own boxes in an alleyway to the left of gate, and he would then proceed. "This might be of some use to me. I just need about three boxes: Two heavy and one medium to light box that way I can pivot the jump and with the right amount of weight I should be able to use the force of my feet to run up on the gate and reach out with my hands to grab hold of the gate bar." Thought Jabari as he was strategizing his move. He began to concoct his plan by entering into the alleyway and he would start by examining the boxes.
He would start by brushing off the snow and would put both hands on the container and began to press firmly. "Hmph these boxes are made of plastic. This should be able to work if I can angle the position of the plastic box to capture my weight as I pivot with my body shifting to the right and one of my feet still planted to the platform, I can jump to the steel crossing and run for it the best way I can. Said Jabari to himself.
As he began to lift up one container he almost dropped it for it was too heavy for him and it only went up to his ankle when he did attempt to lift the object. Instead he would push the container until he aligned it with the gate thus he would do the same thing to the other heavy container and finally he would find a lightweight container thus he lift it up and put it on top of the other two containers which would meet his needs to perform his plan. He would then move himself to the right side of the security gate and create a great amount of distance thus he would run with a rush of velocity and acceleration and he would do a quick leap onto the first box and then jump the top box and at the right timing he would pivot to the right with one foot planted on the huge plastic container and with all of his weight still on the box he would jump to the steel crossing and with all of his might he would run up the steel crossing and he would stretch his arms out and grab the rail bar.
Jabari could be seen dangling from the railing and then he would pull himself up and prop his feet up and begin to lift his right leg up high so it could go over the rail thus having him sit in saddle position with his left leg still on the outer side of the security gate. His body would face the left where he went into the alley to obtain the containers that would help him get over to the other side. Jabari would then reach into his coat pocket to grab his walkie talkie to report to Lieutenant Quinton and report his status: (SHRK-SHRKK-SHRKKK) (SHRKKK-SHRKKKK-SHRKKKK) "Lieutenant I am about to head toward the main entrance what should I do next Sir?" Replied Jabari to Quinton.
Quinton would quickly pick up his binoculars to see where Jabari was positioned at the security gate. When he finally did the Lieutenant's jaw would drop to see how far the boy had come. His Adam's Apple would quiver as he tried to produce words to come through , "I...Impossible, H...How is this kid doing all of this!?! I...I mean sure The Boss did say throughout all of his training this boy was a genius no a Prodigy, but to see it live in the flesh for this young boy to possess such abilities…" Quinton's words would stop as he continued to gaze at the young Jabari and see the charisma which made him have a flashback of one soldier in particular who went through the same deprogramming as Jabari did would create an image of an Unknown Man. It would put the lieutenant in a state of paralysis. Only a few words could be received from his lips, "Old Friend". Said Quinton with a smile as he gazed up the snowy sky.
(SHRK-SHRKK) "Sir? Lieutenant...Sir?"
Said Jarbari to Quinton in a unconcern tone over the walkie talkie. Quinton would pick up his talking device and told him to wait at the gate on his demand. He would then lower his head at middle level to see the view of Quantum's tower made of glorious chrome metallic finishings with platinum trimming for the panels and support railings. Some of lighting in the building would flash a bright gold within certain facilities of the building. He would then lower his head to look at the young Ace with his arms crossed and his left eyebrow raised to see what potential skills he carries and also to see how well he could carry out the mission, but most importantly to see what kind of bond will the two boys have for the future to come for once an Ace and an Infiltrator is partnered up they are with each other till the very end of their careers.
