After receiving the news, I've bee given a mission to locate and extract friendly spies. Reports said the spies manage to send sensitive intel out of the country but with the cost of their operation being found out by the counter-intelligence unit in Xadryae. It's the utmost importance that they should be safely extracted to avoid dangerous political firestorm or a declaration of war.
Sigh, this sounds hard as it already is, good thing Philip gave me forge identification papers and a plan to enter the country without the guards spotting me. Unless they haven't found out about it, I'm good to go. And its also a race against time so I better hurry.
After an hour of equipping myself in the basement, I took a final check.
Weapon/s: M9 Beretta and KA-BAR knife.
Equipment: Stab Proof Kevlar Vest, Flashlight, Binoculars, Tactical Backpack, A Pouch of Gold, Silencer, and 10 Extra Magazines.
Food and Water: 5 Days' worth.
When I finished checking my equipment, I went up the stairs. Four girls waited have been waiting to see me off for the mission. Their anxiousness etched on their face.
"I'll be going now."
"Felix, please come back home safely."
Karla places her hand to her chest to calm her worrying heart.
"That's the plan," I said with a reassuring smile.
"Will you truly come home safe!?" Lillian said worryingly.
"With the best of my abilities, I will come back home."
"Fe-Felix, before you go... can you promise me something?" Ruby nervously said.
"Yes."
She tightly wraps her arms around me.
"Felix, I won't ask you something unreasonable like don't go or abandon your mission when you're in danger. But, I'll ask you one thing..." She inhaled deeply and stared straight into my eyes with her own emerald green eyes, moist with tears. "Return and take me as your wife when you get back! You absolutely must fulfill that promise no matter what's the cost!"
I was taken aback by the surprising courage of Ruby's declaration. But, it made me truly happy when she said it. I gently part with her hug while still gazing at her teary, green eyes.
"I, Felix Dane, will do everything in my power to fulfill your promise!" After saying that she gave me a short, but heartful kiss.
"Wow! Out of all of us, Ruby's the boldest when it comes to Foxy! Give us a goodbye kiss too!" Ruby declares, following the approval from the Lillian and Karla. So, I gave each and one of them a heartful kiss, before leaving for the mission.
Speeding at an insane speed of 120-240 km/h with a top speed of 410 km/h nearly rivaling the Black Hawk's top speed is a matte black, Kawasaki Ninja H2R. Which I previously made using [Create]. Modified with wheels for off-road use and a muffler on its exhaust to reduce the sounds of the engine. To avoid being heard by the noisy engine.
I arrive at the position of the entrance of Xadryae after hours of traveling on my bike. The note said that it's a hidden tunnel, neglected for years. Before its disused, it was a smuggling route to escape or enter illegal goods in the country. When I checked the surroundings, I felt a draft coming behind the vines and shrubs on a hill.
Bingo, it's the tunnel. I look at the condition of the tunnel and it was fairly well built and in good condition. After checking the tunnel, I can safely assume that people rarely passed through due to the accumulation of dust, it's also wide and tall enough for me to ride the motorcycle through. But, I wonder how long it is. Well, you never know if you don't check.
3 minutes driving through the long, dark tunnel, I finally arrived in the end. I park in front of the exit to scout the area. After a short survey using binoculars, I saw a town three to four kilometers from my position. So I drove the bike 1 kilometer away to avoid being spotted on the bike and camouflage it after parking there. Then walk the rest of the way using the main roads to town.
As I enter, I ask for directions to the nearest inn. As I enter, people start eyeing me and gossiping. I guess that's naturally going to happen so I ignored them and went to the bar. I sat on the chairs placed in front of the bar.
"What do you want? Milk? This is no place for children, kid." He asks me in an irritated voice while wiping a wooden mug.
"I want info."
"Info? What does a kid like you want info anyway? Get lost." Scoffing at me.
Then I took out two silver coins on places it on the bar.
"Oh, you came prepared even for a kid huh." He grabs the coins and pockets them. "If you want info use the stairs behind the building. The password is Silence." I thank the bar/innkeeper, got up, and went outside.
As soon as Felix left the bar, a group of three men stood up and used the backdoor.
"Poor kid, he doesn't know what's coming." He sighs, knowing of the possibility of dumping another body.
As I went around the building, using the alleyway, three men armed with daggers blocks my way.
"Excuse me, I have to..." Before I could finish, he interrupted me with a threat.
"Listen here ya little shit! Cough yer stuff out if ya want to live another day with ya worthless life, ya might meet this pointy bastard down ya throat! Do ya!?" Speaking while nonchalantly tracing the blade on his neck.
"If you don't want us to hurt you, follow the boss's warning."
"If you don't, your worthless life will coat my steel with warm blood."
"What's up dipshits?" I sigh.
"What did ya call us ya fucker!?"
"Yeah, you three dipshits," I said while pointing at them. "I think your mom's asshole is worth more than you three?"
"Ya wanna play tough, huh!? Let's see how tough ya are when you're just a pile of dog shit!"
The boss of the group lunges at me with the dagger, which I unsheath my KA-BAR knife, parrying it in a reverse grip. He quickly backsteps away from me to gain distance.
"The fuck!? How did ya block me blade, ya little shit!? What are ya two waiting for!? Butcher him!"
The two lackeys charges at me with their somewhat decent skills, but having poor coordination made it easy for me to take advantage of the situation. The first lackey swung his dagger at my face, which I duck. Using this opportunity, I whacked his arm with my knife, making a deep cut.
"Fucking hell, that hurts!"
After dropping the dagger, due to his injury, I grab his injured arm making him yelp from the pain, then shove him into his charging ally. The enemy who was charging didn't have enough time to react, stabbing his bewildered ally in the chest. The blade pierces his heart and lungs.
"W-Why...?" With a short and bloody breath, he was able to utter a single word before succumbing to his fatal wounds.
After that, I quickly slice the neck of the guy who 'accidentally' killed his friend. The ground soaked by the blood of two corpses.
"Wha- who the fucking hell are ya!?"
"I don't want to do this, but since you left me with no choice." As I finished speaking, the enemy went into the defensive, so I quickly charge at him.
Instinctively, he extends his arm to block me while at the same time, trying to hit me during my offensive, but that gave me an opening. I quickly sidestep to avoid the blade, then slams my knife deep into his guts. Slowly but surely, I retract my knife and distance my self from the bleeding enemy, which is surprisingly standing while placing his hand on the puncture wound on his gut.
While vomiting blood, he finally got into his knees and stares at me in defiance, even in the face of death.
'I'm impressed, this guy is resilient.' As I thought to myself
So with a quick stab to the eye, he finally breathes his last. I wipe my bloody knife on his clothes, before sheathing it and examining myself. As expected, my coat is full of blood, which I discard close to the corpses. I then continue to the task at hand, getting info about the whereabouts of the spies.
