Chapter 9 - Chapter Nine

I went to the door on the far side of the barracks. There was light coming from the other side of the door and I could hear the pounding of boots and shouts on the side of the door. I listened for a moment before cleaning my blade and sheathing it as I drew my ruger back out and checked the number of clips I had for my guns as I prepared to kill everyone in the base as we needed to. If they gave up I wouldn't kill them but if they tried anything I wouldn't hesitate to end their life.

I nodded to the others and watt looked me in the eyes for a moment before he swung the door wide open and I stepped out into the open to the startled men around the base. I pulled my guns up faster than the enemy could turn to me to even try to shoot at me. I shot and killed the closet enemy before moving to the most immediate dangerous enemy who were turning their guns towards us. I then heard Togima join into the gunfight shooting men he could much slower than I as I emptied two clips in as many as thirty seconds. I then paused scanning the enemy as most fell to the ground dead or dieing.

I then saw a camera in one corner of the base and shot it a slight irritation running through my mind at having been on camera. I looked around and sighed as I saw the last enemy die with a bullet to the head from Togima's gun. I looked around before I went forward keeping an eye out for the enemy or any sign of movement. I glanced at Watt as I noticed him not following. I shrugged seeing he was in utter shock at the devastation that me and my half-brother had caused in just mere moments.

I saw a door leading into the main part of the tower and building in the center of the base. I made my way inside going room to room scanning for living men or women with weapons drawn. I got to the third door and found a man at a radio sending out a distress call to his allies. I moved quickly up to him and took the butt of my ruger to the man's temple knocking him out. I then took the radio and disconnected it from its power source before leaving the room and the man to Togami as I moved deeper inside the building. I could tell the building was older as it was built mostly from stone that was worn from age. I went down hallway after hallway til I had cleared the entire building. I found boxes in what seemed to be storage. I had opened a box and discovered weapons of almost any caliber and in another box I had opened had anti-tank weapons as well as grenade launchers. The weapons seemed to be older models but even then they would do damage.

I went back to the room where the radios were and found watt was messing with the radio and listening to the enemy. I put my weapons away and spoke "there's an area down the hallway and to the left filled with weapons. If they had used them before we got here we would have been on the fence instead of them being on the fence, and from what I can tell they recently got them. Did you find the screen on one of those computers for the camera that was out there in the yard?" I waited for a response. Togami spoke "No, but I'm going to ask this guy here when he wakes up. And did you have to hit him so hard?" I nodded "otherwise it wouldn't have been enough to knock him unconscious. "

Togami sighed before going back to the computer he was attempting to hack while Watt had simply ignored us after he had been sure it was just me that had entered the room while he worked on deciphering the enemies code. I walked over to the unconscious man who was now tied up in a corner of the room. I crouched down in front of him and lightly smacked his cheek. I frowned before standing and went over to the one other computer in the room and started to go through it's severs. I easily bypassed every locked or firewall code and file it had to keep others out.

I frowned as I found the video from the camera and scowled in irritance as I realized the video had been filmed live on an open webpage. I then searched through the webpage. Half of the site was in portuguese but the other half was in spanish. Which for me was easy to decipher. I continued to work easily reading through the pages and throughout the entire site.

I tensed as I read something about what seemed to be their next plans of attack. I narrowed my eyes and continued to read. I spoke "They plan on attacking the leadership; from the looks of it they plan on attacking the president and Howser during a meeting. It Clearly states here that their two top targets are the president and the secretary of the state but it also states that Howser is a target on their top ten targets." I growled as the entire computer started crashed with all the data along with it. I worked typing fast to stop it but as soon as I managed to get into the fight the person trying to destroy everything was working fast and managed to wipe the entire computer clean of any data.

I cursed and looked over to the man that was tied up. "The computer crashed." I looked over to Togami as he cursed and threw the keyboard "same" I looked over to watt who was frowning then he spoke "they changed the radio frequency as well. It seems they found out we had taken the base." I nodded and spoke "the camera outside was filming on a live site but I want to know who had the tech savvy to hack the computers and destroy them from the outside, when I was working against them. But I guess it has been awhile since I did any hacking or much with computers. But I did manage to get a glance at the hackers' style of hacking and I must say it is good."

Togami looked at me "high complements, but that would explain why any computer we manage to get a hold of is wiped clean." I nodded "well, looks like our friend is finally waking up" I turned to the man tied up as he groaned in pain as he woke.

I walked over to him and crouched "hello" I watched as the man jolted awake eyes wide looking at me. I smiled disarmingly "you awake now? Or can you even understand me?" I waited for a response but got none and I heard Watt speak. "I doubt he can understand you and we don't have a translator here so we'll have to wait for reinforcements." I shrugged at him and then asked him again if he could understand me but this time I asked in portuguese. Watt gasped and asked "you can speak Portuguese?" I just nodded while the man glared at me.

I heard Togami chuckle "let's go take inventory on what weapons these guys have and leave her to it." He then stood leaving the room and a moment later Watt followed with a frown cressing his brow. I looked at the man as he suddenly spoke once the others were gone speaking Portuguese "release me woman." I smirked while speaking Portuguese "I'm afraid I can't but you could answer my questions; like what is the numbers of your forces?" The man scowled and turned his head away ignoring me

I sighed shrugging and stood saying to the man "good luck surviving in here with no food or water." I had an evil smirk. I watched as the man glared at me for a moment before smirking and said "your leaders would never allow that so a bluff like that would never work." I smiled kindly and crouched down and gripped the man's chin looking him in the eye while I started with a dark coldness that was a stark contrast to my genuine child like smile "who said I have to listen to them? I could just as easily kill them as an infant." I let go of his chin as the color drained from the man's face as he stared at me wide eyed.

I then asked him as I stood "Would you like to know what kind of pain you'll be in from the lack of water and food before I leave you?" The man gulped, seeming to weigh his options. I then continued "at first you don't feel any pain but at your throat goes dry from lack of water your throat starts to convulse in need of water. You'll start to feel a dry pain in your throat and a pain in your stomach from the acids starting to eat away at your stomach lining. As the pain intensifies you'll start to hallucinate. Some people go so mad with the pain and they start to eat their own flesh just to try to end their pain..." I trailed off as the man started to shout out. "No more, I don't want to hear this! I'll answer your questions!"

I smirked with such joy that anyone would assume me a school girl. "Then how many men does your leader have under his control?" The man paused "I don't know but at least a million" I frowned "and where does he keep them?" The man hung his head in defeat "everywhere." I tilted my head crouching down "where is his main base of operations?" The man paused "Africa. I don't know the details but he works from africa." I smiled and patted his cheek "why thank you." I stood and walked away.

I stood on the edge of the helicopter as it flew headed across the land towards the one air strip that was large enough to have cargo planes land and take off. I had told Watt and my brother about what the man had said about where the enemies main base and leader was and since then four days had passed as we had been forced to prepare to move Togami's unit to africa. The officials had taken the man to get more information out of him while I had been placed in the middle of upgrading the firewalls on the bases computers as well as being a messenger of what I had learned from both the man and the computers before they had been hacked and wiped.

I breathed in the fresh air and caught the scent of the ocean. At the moment as I was hanging halfway out of the helicopter I felt like just jumping out and free falling to the ground, but I knew better. I looked across the horizon as I held onto the top of the lip of the door frame. I glanced over my shoulder at the others who were sitting in the helicopter watching me.

I then looked back out and spotted the runway up ahead of us and I looked to the controls and noted we were losing altitude. I watched as we neared the landing pad and as soon as we were only a few feet from the ground I jumped out and lightly hit the ground. I stepped away and looked around the base and mostly ignored the others around. I watched as the others followed me off the helicopter after it landed. I watched as Togami walked over to me "don't jump off the helicopter." I shrugged and looked over to a man as he came trotting up "the cargo plane is about ready to leave." I nodded and started to walk off.

Togami scowled "don't miss the flight" I shrugged and then vanished from their view as I moved behind a building and walked around. I walked around for a while before I headed to the cargo plane. As I reached the runway only a few feet from the plane I could see they were ready to take flight and I climbed into the back of it and found a seat and sat down "they got a nice base" Togami scoffed sitting across from me "I thought we would have to leave you" I looked at him "Aw, is that concern I hear in your voice?" Togami growled he was in a foul mood.

I looked to the back of the plane as they shut the doors and I could hear the engines as they roared to life. I sat back leaning against the wall closing my eyes as I listened to the others. One conversation caught my attention. It was about me and the man I had threatened to get the information out of. It seemed they were trying to figure out how I had gotten the man to talk when all attempts had failed before now.

I then heard Jamie ask "hey Kanami, How did you get that man to talk? The one you captured?" I looked over at her as I sat forward and shrugged "I threatened to leave him to die of thirst and hunger." I watched as several of the men started to talk all at once then Buck spoke up over the others "how the hell did you make it work? We have tried threatening them that way before but got nothing out of them." I shrugged feeling the plane take off "He thought I was bluffing and said that my leaders wouldn't allow that. I made my point that I would do as I please when it comes to getting information. But of course he did look me in the eyes so that is probably why."

Buck scoffed "that's not possible what did you really do?" I sighed "I did as I said and then I described the pain he would feel when the dehydration set in as well as the hunger. He started talking real quick after that." Charles spoke "I've never heard of anyone giving up intel that quickly before." I shrugged "like I said I only threatened him."

I then looked to Togami as he chuckled then spoke "I hell, as doubt you threatened him. I bet you made that a promise and not threatened him and when he realized that you were not kidding around he started to blab to save his own skin from the torment you would cause him. You never made empty threats even when we were children." I shrugged "true"
