* The door of the city hotel opened Slowly while revealing the silhouette of Olga and the leader of the hostage takers. Outside, all the police officers present were on the alert, snipers and helicopters. Liore found himself twenty yards from the completely exposed door. The leader of the hostage takers just had a magnum in his hand and was holding Olga by the arm. McMannus tried to be calm when he saw his girlfriend a few feet away *.
-Contain yourself. * Flynn whispered into the headset *.
-I know.
-LIORE MCMANNUS. * Announced the chief *. I finally found your friend Olga Sierra. She will have been an exemplary hostage. Don't you Olga ?
* She nodded in approval. we could feel the stress on his face. But as he was about to release her he retracted *.
-But in the end I changed my mind.
* Liore frowned in surprise at this abrupt change *.
- Miss Sierra here must be someone extremely important. For you anyway. If we follow your logic the building will be sprayed once she is out of danger. Am I all right?
-He is not that stupid. * Thought Flynn out loud with a smirk *.
-So I passed mademoiselle through the biometric scanner .... What a curious coincidence that you wanted to release ..... the .... only .... jaeger of the building ....
* Hearing this people who were watching the live scene started to wonder. The police were doing everything to recover a Jaeger and not ordinary civilians *.
-So I changed my mind I'm going ....
-Scorpion ... * ordered Flynn Flynn *.
* Coming out of nowhere a bullet crossed the whole of the city at an insane speed in direction of the hotel of city. No one could avoid it or deflect it. She passed right between Olga and the Chief to get lodged in Reder's railgun just behind, which shattered into pieces *.
-Olga Ruun. * Liore yelled *.
* Without even thinking and despite her arms tied she rushed towards Liore. Although she was not particularly athletic, she was running much faster than normal. In a few seconds she covered the distance that separated her from Liore and fell into his arms. Seeing this the sniper opened fire but shielded policemen intervened to protect them *.
-You saw that they protect the Jaeger. * Said a man who was following the action from his screen *.
- Privileged bands
- You want to play it like that, eh. * Said the sniper *.
* He changed the fire mode from anti-human to anti-tank and re-aimed them. But just before he could open fire a second bullet came out of nowhere, hitting him destroying the rifle and the satellite sighting software *.
-What the hell were those shots? * He wondered *.
-What does it matter get away from the windows?
* At the same time, 60 km away on an army training ground, a cannon species was attached to the back of an exosquellete to stabilize the aim *.
-What idea of fixing a railgun to make a sniper rifle.
-Captain Reuss has these ideas sometimes. Nice job Pike.
- *****
NDT: Spike don't talk. only sending code line with Bip. Only Liore and Flynn ca understand
-Yes, finally, I get nothing from you jerk.
* At the entrance to the city hotel *.
-All teams launch the operation. * Ordered Liore *.
* In a perfectly synchronized movement the special police forces moved towards the building. The head of the hostage takers had taken refuge inside with his team. The latter fixed the silencers on their weapons *.
-They arrive. * Said the boss *. We do as usual.
* However they had the unpleasant surprise to see only 8 people pass the front door. Ricker in the head helmet and goggles on the eyes. His gaze had totally changed and he moved forward without hesitation *.
-It's coming. * Said one of the soldiers watching him from his hiding place *.
* Ricker stopped dead as if he had an enlightenment *.
-About what ? * The guy wondered *.
* Right at his feet a black cable connected to a grenade. He stepped over it and walked a few meters before turning left. Then walk back to the stairs. Seen from the outside it looked like he was playing a labyrinth, but in the eyes of the soldiers *.
-How does he do it .... He avoids all the traps ....
* 15 minutes earlier in the meeting room *.
- We have to get them out of there or it will rage severe in the upper echelons. * Explained the chief of police *.
- Let them go scratch their balls, we'll do it our way. * Said Garza *.
-We have 15 minutes what's the plan? Bombs and the like are not on Olga's map. * Said Liore. *
-And we have no way to approach from the sides without being spotted. Especially that they can use hostages as a shield. * Said Chuck *.
-They won't. * Said Flynn *. Their goal is to make fun of Jaegers, not humans. They will do anything to keep public opinion.
-The Jaegers are humans too. * Liore recalled *.
-That's not the point of the discussion. * Garza said, putting the building map on the table *. When the door opens it will be necessary to neutralize their railgun is the most important. Then the sniper at the entrance.
-Wait You want to go through the entrance * Said the chief of police *.
-Bah yes we are not thieves. * Said Flynn sarcastically *. For the Snipers and the railgun I have already made the arrangements
-And for the intervention teams it will be necessary ...
-It will take a slab. * Ricker cut *. I'll go home and clean everything by myself. * He announced in a serious tone *.
* Reuss stared him straight in the eye then let out a sigh *.
-It's up to you. But it takes another officer to cut their voices through the sewers.
-Sulivan you will go with Shalon. * Said Ricker *.
-At your orders sir.
* 15 minutes later *.
* Inside the building it was chaos. The hostage-takers retaliated with heavy weapons. With a machine gun placed in a hallway, they caused a deluge of lead to fall on the assault team which remained hidden behind a wall *.
-Come bring back, I'm waiting for you. * Said the gunner who continued to fire *.
* Out Reuss had just received a call. A woman's voice screamed at him very quickly. *
-You can explain to me what you're doing. * She asked *.
-What the hell is Reuss? * A man yelled *. You were supposed to close this case ASAP ...
-Mr the prefect? * Said Reuss strangely relaxed *. Everything is under control don't worry.
-Of course not. * He yelled *. They took a Jaeger hostage that changes everything. You now have the right to intervene as the situation requires. Now that she is safe, raze the building and everything inside.
-Be careful, sir. * Said Reuss in an icy voice *. You are on speakerphone.
* Reuss had put his cell phone on the free table listening to everyone in the aunt in command *.
-Uh ... um ... well .....
- Don't worry, everything is under control I say.
-Who is the leader responsible for the attack I heard that there were only 8 men. * Asked the Woman *.
-Robben Ricker madam.
-Oh! .... In that case I'll leave the rest to you. * She said cutting the connection *.
* Reuss sighed and took a packet of cigarettes from his pocket *.
-So ? * He asked Garza *.
-The area is under military blockade. Our range of action is wider than that of the police. We control all the outputs.
- So much the better. Because you see. * He said with a shot *. Not a single one of these motherfuckers will ever make it out of here alive. * He said while his dark gaze *.
* Inside Ricker still blocked by the machine gun took a deep breath then threw a stun grenade. The noise silenced the machine gun then he left his hiding place by firing in a burst neutralizing his 3 enemies. Approaching their corpses he noticed lasers that he slowly avoided followed by his team *.
-They have mufflers, be careful.
-Yes sir.
-We separate into three groups. Two groups will go in pairs. One group in the control room, another deals with hostages and another pursues terrorists.
-Yes sir.
-I will lead the group of four.
* Everything was settled like on music paper. Reuss walked through the hallways as if nothing had happened when they were full of traps. From the cameras the others were still wondering how he was doing *.
-Not here. * He said sliding his hand on a door *. This way * he indicated before finding himself behind a group and strafing them *.
* He continued like this until the back of the building. But as he was about to join the exit one of his men almost got a foot in a laser beam. He stopped her dead. The first group arrived in the control room and deactivated the camera jammers. Chuck was finally able to access the network and deactivate all the electronic traps *.
-It's good sergeant, the voice is clear.
* The analyst then saw the crazy work that his superior had done *.
-How it is possible ?
-Said Chuck you know the 2 types of sergeants? * Asked Reuss who sat down next to him *. The first type is the one who takes care of his men and does his best to limit losses. The second, on the other hand, only focuses on the mission and will go to the end even if it means sacrificing its unity. What type do you think Ricker is?
-Baaah the first.
-Fault of the 3rd type. The one who brings his guys back alive ....
-Hey?
- Imagine that we had 3 types of leader in the 201st Brigade. Ricker was the one who always saw the least loss and for good reason ..... He was an exceptional soldier ... However ....
* While Reuss was discussing the group tasked with collecting the hostages was taken in reverse by the hostage takers. Within seconds the two officers were nailed to the ground and silently neutralized with a knife by another duo. Those in the meeting room caught a grenade that came out of nowhere. They ended up wounding but the assailant finished them off *.
-However, this type of sergeant is used to doing everything himself and so when he and his guys are separated they become vulnerable.
* In the sewers it was the same. Sulivan's group advanced with difficulty due to heavy fire but remained protected by shields *.
-The motherfuckers they have how many cartridges.
-It's not the end of the story.
* Inside, the soldiers had ended up surrounding Ricker's group *.
-Ricker they are getting closer you have to fall back. * Said Liore. *
-No there are still some ...
-You are only 4 left, it's useless, we can't .....
* A door exploded from outside. As smoke entered the building a new person appeared *.
-Game Start. * Said Shalon who was licking his lips *.
* The young girl entered the building at full speed, gun in hand. Taking advantage of her small size, she slipped through the corridors and strafed the lone soldiers *.
-Ricker was already an instinctive type on legs but his sister .... * Garza said surprised *.
* Shalon was not content with his instinct. All his senses were on the alert. His eyes, his ears, his nose all the small variations in the air reach him *.
-Hahaha too easy.
* She came face to face with a group but her gun jammed. She then swung it on her opponent's helmet and sliced his thigh with her knife. As he fell on top of her she grabbed her pistol and fired 4 bullets into the vest at close range. Then she chained it up and disappeared back into the halls with a sly smile *.
-Heheh
- Damn dirty kid.
* Liore watched the workflow with fingers crossed without saying a word *.
-It's a trap. * Said Liore *. This attack is used to save time. It's a huge diversion.
- I suspected it. * Said Flynn *. But in this case who is the real target?
* While it was panic in town a group of soldiers had just infiltrated the base with assault rifles. But even more so in the hangar at Stryker, Jeena's machine was making a funny noise *.
-What....
*To be continued*
