Chapter Three

Since we had arrived at the location we spent about eight hours surveying the facility, by the end of it I had a whole page full of notes and a second page with a roughly drawn map of what I thought the building interior may be paid out like. however Max also had a rough map as well, this was basically useless information that wouldn't be brought up at all, simply a little bet between me and max. once we left the hill we made our way to a meeting point where the team of about eighteen men were waiting for us. this was the team we would be using to raid the facility, while it was risky to go in with so little information, we didn't really have a choice. we needed to put a stop to this now or something very bad could happen. when we arrived at the meeting point there was some gear and backpacks laid out on the ground, we didn't have much to give them as far as Intel so the briefing wouldn't require a lay out plan or any detailed notes. we were pretty much just going to be winging this, which was very dangaurus considering there were an unknown number of armed gaurds. but none the less, we needed to push on. "alright everyone gather up I wanna make this quick we are about give minutes from nightfall." i said as I watched the group of armed men gather around me and max. i didn't know half of these people, which made an operation like this even more dangaurus.

"alright, listen up because we don't have time for me to say this twice. we don't have any Intel on the layout of this building nor the amount of armed gaurds inside, the highest number we have seen is about six gaurds but we need to expect more then that. this isn't a cheap operation so I doubt we will be looking at a bunch of night gaurds, expect well trained mercenaries with good weapons and armor." Max chimed in at the end as he looked around at the men they would be working with. "in short don't underestimate these guys, because they won't underestimate you." i nodded. "well said, now on to the basic infiltration plan, since we don't know of any other entrances we will be heading through the main door, there are two gaurds that stand outside the door at all times, these gaurd have security keycards that we will need to gain access to the facility, there is also a camera that watchs the door at all times. first we will use a suppressed rifle to take out the camera and then subdue the gaurd and take his keycard. on the other side of the main door there is a hallway with four other doors on each side of the hallway leading into different rooms, at the end of the hall is a doorway that leads to what I assume to be a control room of some sort but I could be mistaken." i paused for a moment to look down at my notes before nodding to myself. "okay if possible after we get inside we need to try and locate the main power breaker and shut it off, that will give us an advantage over the gaurds. however the backup power will kick in if the power is shut off for an extended period of time, so don't become reliant on the dark. you'll have a minimum of two minutes, ten minutes tops and that's if the backup doesn't kick in emedatly." one of the men rolled his eyes and shook his head slightly "Jesus Christ this is a death trap." i nodded slightly at his comment without looking up from my notes "yes a death trap your being paid nearly twelve-hundred dollars an hour to walk into. now unless you have a question please do not inturupt me again." i said before shaking my head as I regained my train of thought. "oh yes I nearly forgot, there are civilians inside of the building, so you'll need to watch your fire should we be forced to engage, and no one other then this team is allowed out of the building. everyone and I mean everyone is to be detained, if you don't have enough cuffs talk to max he has plenty we will be distributing." i said before tucking away my not book and I taking a breath. "okay any quiestions?" everyoke just shook there head slightly. i nodded and stepped back a bit "alright everyone get your shit sorted again if you need cuffs talk to max. other then that chill out and prepare yourselves. you have an hour before we move out."

night fell, and it was time for the raid to begin. we were about one-hundred meters away from the facility in the cover of darkness, quietly advancing on the main entrance. this was the closest any of us had been to this facility, and it was clear that tensions were high. we split into two groups of ten and moved to either side of the building. taking up our positions and waiting for the right time to strike. just as I had said, there was a single gaurd at the front door with a rifle in his hands, I was point man for my team of ten so I was the one who would subdue the gaurd. i quietly snuck twarads the gaurd with my rifle trained on the gaurds head in case some thing went wrong. i looked to max who was positioned behind a car parked in the dark corner of the parking lot, we made eye contact and with a nod from each of us, his rifle went off with a quiet snap before hearing the round impact the camera disabling it. the sound of the round going off and hitting the camera startled the gaurd and caused him to raise his rifle, but before he could even slip his finger into the trigger gaurd I slapped the rifle down before pulling to me, his back against my chest as I wrap my arm around his throat and press the edge of my knife against his cheek. i quickly pulled him into the shadows before tightening my grip around his throat. "listen carefully or this knife goes through your throat, how many gaurds ar e currently defending this facility?" I whispered as I held the man firmly, giving him not chance to escape. "u-uh.. sixteen! there are only sixteen, but more transfer in at 0600." without another word I tightened my grip around his neck, he gasped and gripped at my arm before slowly passing out, I slowly laid him on the ground before putting flex cuffs around his wrists and ankles, as well as getting rid of any weapons or knives he had on him. by the time I had finished thag the rest of the team including Maxs team had stacked up on the door and broken the light that was shining on the door, I grabbed the key card and walked up to the door, unlocking it and opening it quickly, before the team quickly rushed inside, now the two teams of ten were split into four teams of five. once we made it inside we saw four doors on either side of the hall way, and if we didn't clear them all at once we could be caught off gaurd when we rendered the hallway. i stacked up with the men on the door closest to the entrance on the right, before we opened the door and threw a flash bag inside, the second it went off with the loud bang and the blinding white light, we quickly flooded into the room and found a group of screaming and shouting men and wemon dressed in lab coats. the room had a few tables and chairs as well as a kitchen area and a living space with a few coach's and a TV, this must be a break room. all of them surrendered, including the gaurd who was inside who seemed to be on her break, however it seemed the other teams didn't have it so easy. i could hear the sounds of gunshots and shouting coming from other rooms as well as the painful screaming of injured men. we quickly detained the men and wemon inside of the break room before moving back out into the hall. we briefly saw the insides of the other rooms but the chaos of the moment made it difficult to understand the purposes of the rooms. all I could gather was that the door on the far left, next to the control room door lead to a stair case which went to the second floor. but any extra information didn't matter right now, my team regrouped with a team that finished there room and we quickly burst into the control room instantly we were being shot at, the gaurds in this room had plenty of time to prepare so it was no surprise that a few of our guys were injured, but there were only three gaurds in this room so it wasn't long before the three gaurds were all shot at killed. two of them being killed by me.

as we secured the room it was clear the see that my assumption was correct, this was some sort of control room, the room itself was two stories tall. and on the top right hand side of the room, farthest from the door was a window into what seemed to be an office. the room itself had desks everywhere with computers and papers all over them, it was abundantly clear that a lot of work was done here. which was odd, why would a genetics lab need a room like this? as we finally secured the room one of the men comes into the room and walks over to me. "the building is secure sir." i nodded and slung my rifle over my chest and gave myself a moment to allow the adrenaline to leave my system. "okay, get four guys to go back and grab the trucks, bring them up here and park then in the front, until we have them I want two men outside on the door, I want them hidden until we have the trucks." he nodded and left the room before I turned on my radio which was linked to my commtacs. "actual this is emperor one we have the facility, we have injured. I'm gonna need a tech team and medical as soon as possible. and if you can either send us a geneticist or get me in contact with one thag would be great." i waited for a moment before hearing Amelias voice over the radio. "copy that emperor one, good work. i knew I made the right call putting you in charge, medical is inbound about five minutes so do what you can to get your wounded stable for now. as for the tech team and geneticist. i can get you the techies In about half an hour and I'll see what I can do about a geneticist but it'll be a while." i let out a sigh before clicking on my radio again. "copy that actual, keep me posted."
