Now Let's Get Everything We Need!

After a few seconds have passed, a woman answers the phone, "Royal Insurance."

Jasmine then replies, "SAT 30. Agent Papa-653-Juliett. Requesting immediate extraction & resupply."

Whisper appears in the shadow room, in front of the man, & says, "Sir, there seems to be a call coming in from the Urgent Agent Distress Number. Should I answer it, sir?"

Valentino Mccullough replies, "Do you know who it is?"

Whisper replies, "Yes, it's Jasmine. Do you want me to put her through?"

Valentino thinks for a moment & then replies, "What is it that she needs?"

Whisper pulls up a hologram screen, looks at it, reads what it says on it & replies, "She is requesting resupply & extraction, sir. Do you want me to put her through, sir?"

Valentino thinks for a quick moment & then replies, "No, put her through the automated tactical system. It will help her more & we will get more information from her when she gets to the extraction site."

Whisper nods & says, "Will do, sir! Activating the ATS, now!"

Jasmine then hears the woman say in an automated voice, "Confirmed. Papa-653-Juliett. State site & supplies."

Jasmine then replies, "Rendezvous Alpha 113. Agent PAC & Survival Omega Quad. Clear."

The line is silent for a moment, then the woman replies, "Confirmed. Alpha 113, Agent PAC & Survival Omega Quad."

Jasmine hangs up the phone, looks at the group, hands Luke the phone back, & says, "Ok guys, let's go! We need to get to the place as soon as possible!"

Luke puts the phone back in the box, puts the box back in the ground & covers it back up with the dirt & gravel that was about it before he dug it up, then confusingly looks at Jasmine & asks her, "Why all the code to the person you called?"

Jasmine replies, "I didn't call a person. I called an automated system that'll help us out real soon if we can get to the place we need."

Luke nods his head once & then says, "Good enough for me! Let's go, guys! Jasmine, please lead the way!"

Jasmine starts walking towards the exit & then starts heading North.

After about 2 hours of walking, Jasmine leads them into an area of tall, dense trees. Then after about a few minutes of walking through the small, thick forest, they exit into a clearing. Then John asks, "How close are we to getting this place?"

Jasmine looks around for a moment, then replies, "We're here, actually! Now we need to wait for a moment so that they can get here, but watch out for anyone else who might want to attack us. We're still in danger."

Jasmine leans against one of the trees on the edge of the clearing. At the same time, everyone else leans against the trees not far from the clearing.

John walks over & leans against the same tree. He then asks her, "So why here? Why not somewhere else? What's so special about this place?"

Jasmine replies as she chuckles, "You will see soon, John. Just wait."

John slowly nods his head, then says, "Ok, well then, who is this 'Agent Pack'? Should I be jealous of them?" he says, lightly chuckling afterward.

Jasmine lets a small chuckle & replies, "No, it's nothing like that. That was a code phrase for something specific that we'll need. So even though it sounded like someone, it wasn't. ALSO, what do you need to be jealous of? We're not dating John." Jasmine lightly chuckles for a moment while slowly shaking her head.

Jasmine looks up & slightly to the right, then turns her head sideways with a curious yet confused look on her face. She then yells to the group, "Ok guys. Someone's coming. Get ready for anything terrible to POSSIBLY happen! Just in case it is trouble," she then says under her breath, "I hope it's them & not the group that attacked us. I don't think I have the energy to deal with them again. Kicking the gun out of Luke's hand earlier hurt to do. But I can't show any weakness around these guys, nor can anyone know how very little energy I have left to deal with any trouble."

Luke looks at the horizon in the same direction where Jasmine was looking before. Then, after a few seconds, he says, "How do you know? I don't see or hear anything."

Then everyone else in the group agrees that they don't hear or see anything to indicate anyone is close by or coming.

Jasmine then says, "I know because of my training. I FAINTLY hear a helicopter coming. Look! Get ready for a possible fight if it's not the people I called coming to help!"

Luke lets out a grunt & says, "Oh great! More fighting!" He says as he reloads his pistol he was still holding on to from his fight.

Jasmine hears Luke reload his pistol & thinks for a moment, then asks Luke, "Luke do you happen to have another pistol with you?"

Luke immediately replies, "No, sadly, I don't, sorry."

After around 10 seconds, everyone can hear the helicopter nearby. Luke then says, "Ok, I can make out the helicopter, I think. You were right, Jasmine. Nice job!"

Jasmine immediately replies, "I know, now shut up & get ready for everything to POSSIBLY go sideways!"

Alexia looks at Jasmine then asks her, "Jasmine, how are you going to help out if things go sideways? You have no weapon & look a bit tired. Are you ok to fight or whatever we need to do?"

Jasmine turns around to look at Alexia & replies, "Well, because of my training, I know how to fight hand-to-hand. I kinda excel at Close Quarters Combat. I was actually the 3rd best agent that was ever trained at Close Quarters Combat. I know I look tired, but I'll be fine. I have more than enough energy to deal with whatever happens. So don't worry about me." Jasmine then turns back to the clearing.

Alexia immediately replies, "Ok, just making sure. I don't want you to overdo yourself mid-fight & pass out or whatever, on us!"

Jasmine lets out a small chuckle, "I won't. The only way I'm going to pass out is if they kill me, & I have no plans on dying now, ESPECIALLY here!"

Alexia nods her head, "Ok, good!"

After another 30 seconds, the helicopter comes into view & starts to land on the ground & sees that there are 3 agents in the helicopter.

Jasmine turns to the group & yells over the loud noise of the helicopter, "We are ok. They're with me!"

Luke puts his pistol away behind his back in his pants & replies, "Oh, thank you! No more fighting!"

Jasmine walks up to the helicopter & tells the agent next to the side exit, "Did you bring my supplies agent?"

The agent looks at her & asks, "Are you agent," The agent looks down at his watch then replies, "Papa-653-Juliett?"

Jasmine sighs, rolls her eyes & asks him, "Are you new? What's your agent number?"

He nods his head, "Yes, I am, ma'am. My number is 8731."

Jasmine nods her head for a moment, then replies, "That would explain it. You're very new. Regardless, Yes, I am agent Papa-653-Juliett. So, I'll ask again, DID YOU BRING ME MY SUPPLIES?"

The agent turns around, grabs a bag, throws it on the ground in front of Jasmine & replies, "Yes ma'am, that should be your PAC & all the survival stuff for 4 people. Will there be anything else you need?"

Jasmine opens up the bag, looks around in the bag for everything she asked for, then she replies, "That seems to be everything! Thank you, agent!"

The agent looks at the pilot & signals to him to take off, then looks back at Jasmine, "No problem, ma'am!"

Jasmine grabs the bag & starts to walk back to the group. As she gets back to the group, she puts it down. Jasmine puts it down. She then goes through the pack, pulls out a small necklace with a pinkish-colored gem in the center & puts it on around her neck. Then she grabs one of the stacks of cash & puts it in her shirt, then says to the others, "Ok, everyone, take 2 stacks of the money & hide it somewhere on your body. We're going to need it, BADLY!"

Luke then asks in a confused voice, "Why will we need these stacks of money? What requires this much money? I could have gotten us some money from one of my backup servers if you just told me."

Jasmine shakes her head as she's putting another stack of money in the back of her pants & replies, "Remember what I said earlier, Luke, we let you find out & know what we want you to know. In turn, if we allow you to find it, then other people could see it too. So we can't risk people seeing us track us via some card or another way. So unless you had a massive stack of cash hiding around, then it would have been useless. Physical bills are harder to be tracked by our agents &, in turn, our enemies. They can still follow it by what we will need to buy, but it lets us have more time to do what we need to do before our enemies do. So we're going to use that to our advantage."

Luke nods his head & says, "Well, wouldn't you guys have marked the bills to be tracked?"

Jasmine sighs & replies, "YES! You're correct, but we don't start tracking the marked money until we call it in & ask for the money to start being followed. So unless for now, as long as we don't lose the money, we will be fine."

Luke thinks for a moment &, in a curious tone, asks, "Well, why don't you guys only let the agents know all of the stuff, but not our enemies?"

Jasmine immediately replies, "I don't know the specifics, but from what our data agent said, something about letting one party know something & make it look like they hacked it from us allows anyone else to find it too. Beyond that, I didn't understand what she said."

Luke thinks for a small moment, "Well, why not you guys ju-"

Jasmine interrupts him & says, "LOOK, LUKE! Are you going to keep asking all these questions & put us in danger, OR are you going to do what I said & help us?"

Luke nods his head & says, "Sorry, you're right," he then puts 2 stacks of cash in the back of his pants.

After everyone hides 2 stacks of cash on their bodies, John looks down & sees 1 pile of money left & asks, "Who's missing a stack of cash?"

Jasmine immediately replies, "Nope, that was me. We got 9 stacks & I'll carry it on MY body. Unless you want to take it & hide it, John?"

John shakes his head & says, "Nope! You go ahead. You're the one who knows what we'll need, so you're the best one to take it. Also, I can't fight, so if we start to get mugged & robbed, you can protect it more than me."

Jasmine replies, "Ok, so now we need to find a set of clothes to change into & then find a hotel or wherever to hide for the moment being,"

She looks at Luke & says, "Ok, Luke, where can we hide that's close to here? It can be a hotel or a secret, some that no one else knows about. Not your previous 'customers' nor anyone you're close with, outside of this group?"

Luke thinks for a moment & replies, "Yes, I know quite a few places. What exactly do you need at the hideout?"

Jasmine immediately replies, "Somewhere we can easily escape from. Also, something hard for anyone besides us can find & where there are a VERY LOW amount of cameras, of any type, around it."

Luke thinks for a moment, snaps his fingers & says, "YES! I know a PERFECT spot. Follow me!"

Luke starts walking outside the trees then keeps walking an hour in the same direction, onto a dirt road. He looks to the left, then to the right & points to the path to the right & says, "It should be this way! We will hit a small town called 'Pillstone,' then we'll be in the clear."
