Outside an abandoned warehouse, there is silence, there is darkness. Inside, there are men who are guarding a five year old boy who was kidnapped early this morning.
The parents and the child were on their way going to an exclusive school but before they could reach their destination, they were blocked by the kidnappers.
The men are busy playing cards and having nonsense conversations so they were not able to sense that something is already happening outside.
Not far from the warehouse, there are footsteps quietly surrounding the area. Two shadows finding a perfect place to put their respective rifles that will aim their targets and three we're finding a safe place to hide before attacking.
"Please, let me go." The child said while sobbing.
"Don't worry kid. After your parents give us your ransom tomorrow , you'll be free." The man said and continue playing cards.
"I'm hungry." The child said.
"Hey, get food for him." The man said to the other man who scratched his head and stood up.
"Where will I get food here? We are in the middle of nowhere." He said grumping.
"Alpha here, locked my target." The first shadow said over her earpiece.
"Same with me, Bravo at your service." The second shadow said. The rest of the team smiled hearing Bravo's words.
"Charlie, Delta, Echo?" Alpha asked.
"Standing by and waiting for your signal, Alpha." Charlie said.
"When will I get to hear my name whenever we have a mission like this." Bravo said faking his disappointment.
"In your dreams, Bravo. As long as Alpha is here, you can't hear your name." Delta teasing him.
"Ready." Alpha said that made the men become serious.
"Locked and loaded." Bravo said aiming his target.
"Two men down." Alpha said.
"Wow, you're really fast!" Charlie said grinning.
"Of course!" Bravo said proudly.
"Coming inside." Delta said while walking towards the door.
"Be careful. Bravo get down." Alpha said.
"Yes, let's rock and roll." Bravo said that made Alpha rolled her eyes.
Alpha returns her Barrett M82 on its case and go down hurriedly. Bravo did the same with his Steyr SSG 69. They met downstairs, nodded to each other, and place the cases on their motorcycles. Alpha gets her Glock 19 on her side pocket, as well as, Bravo with his CZ 75B SPO1. They follow the rest of the team.
Delta and Echo pulled the sleeping men beside the wall. "Sleep tight." Delta said while tapping the man's face.
Alpha and Bravo reached the entrance to the warehouse. Silently, Alpha signalled her team to go inside.
"Hands up!" Alpha said that made the two men startled. They weren't able to move because Bravo, Delta and Echo immediately grabbed them and pinned them down. Alpha and Charlie walked towards the child but because they were in full sniper gear, the child felt fear. Alpha noticed it and she removed her full face airsoft mask and smiled.
The child was dumbfounded because under the mask, he saw a beautiful angel.
"Come, let's go home." Alpha said smiling. The child nodded and hold Alpha's hand tightly. Charlie was behind them. Alpha wore again her mask.
"We're missing one." Bravo said. Before Alpha could answer, the door opened and a gun was shot. Alpha immediately covered the child. Charlie aimed her gun to the man at the door and fired. The man fell down and winced of pain. Charlie immediately moved towards the man she shot and put a handcuff on his hand.
"Shit!" Alpha said feeling the pain on her shoulder. The four on her team saw the blood coming from the wound caused by the bullet. The child also saw it and felt fear again.
"Are you ok?" The child asked. Alpha took off her mask and smiled.
"I'm ok, baby." Alpha said though she's feeling that her shoulder is becoming numb.
"Omega, this is Bravo of Epsilon. We need an ambulance here and send back up immediately. Mission complete. Over and out." Bravo said on the military radio.
Few minutes later, the police mobile and ambulance siren could be heard nearing the warehouse. Charlie have put a bandage on Alpha's shoulder to stop the bleeding for a while. The child didn't leave Alpha's side and still holding her arms.
"You will be going back to your mommy and daddy. Be a good boy, okay? And...can you keep this as a secret?" Alpha said making the child promise to hide her identity. The child was curious but nodded immediately. "Thank you." Alpha said and smiled. She wore again her airsoft mask.
The police officers saluted her and immediately get the kidnappers and put them on the car. The child's parents were outside waiting for their son and when they saw him, they hugged him tightly and cried.
"Get on the ambulance, Delta will drive your bike." Bravo said guiding Alpha going inside the car. "Charlie, go with her." Bravo continued. Because of the pain she's feeling, she didn't argue with her second in command.
"It's the first time, right?" Charlie said while they're inside the ambulance. "Yeah, and dad will be hysterical." Alpha said.
"You can't blame him. Atfer you're mom died, you're the only one left with him. You're just too hard headed, that's why Uncle let you built Epsilon." Charlie said.
"Yeah, and I'm still happy I have you guys." Alpha said smiling.
"Uncle will skin us alive." Charlie said faking her fear making Alpha giggled.
"I'm sleepy, wake me up when we get there." Alpha said closing her eyes.
"Okay, just don't dare to frighten me again just like before." Charlie said with a warning tone.
"Promise, I won't." Alpha said smiling and then, closed her eyes.
The ambulance reached the military hospital after thirty minutes. Charlie opened the car's door. Alpha got up and went down. She hesitated to lay on the hospital bed and just walked towards the entrance. The hospital staffs were already waiting for their arrival because Bravo called beforehand.
"Well, well, well, our Alpha just got hit. What happened?" The hospital director, Amari, said.
"Unlucky, I guess." Alpha said laying on the ER bed.
"Let me take a look." Amari said and cut off her sleeve. "Hhhmmm, the shot was deep, I have to cut your arm!" Amira said that made Alpha's team laughed.
"Dare!?" Alpha said smiling evilly.
"Hahaha, you know I won't. Your whole team is here and with their presence makes me sweat profusely." Amira said looking at the members of the Epsilon. "And of course, your dad will be here anytime so I won't dare. I'll save my breath on nagging you." Amira said winking at her.
"What!? You called him already?" Alpha said.
"Of course. I called him after Bravo relayed the message." Amira said.
"You really love me dear cousin." Alpha said.
"Aha, I can't wait." Amira said and Alpha rolled her eyes.
