"Talon Three where are you?" I heard Hammer call through my headset. I looked out the side of the chopper I was in. "Right above target building. Talon One, Two, and Three are good to drop on your signal Gulf One." I answered back. I readied the rope for our drop as Keaton did the same. "Drop now!" Hammer yelled through the radio. I threw the rope out the side, and rappelled down as Keaton did the same. Luke followed me on my side, and the rope slowly went back up. "We're on the roof ground team. Talon Actual and Talon Four are RTB for the mission. Closest to eyes in the sky for mission is Watcher Actual." Keaton called out. "Copy that Talon One. Move through the building, and rally in the center. Non lethal tactics, arrowhead movement." Brooklyn said coming through the radio this time. "Copy that Gulf Actual." I answered through the radio. We moved to a door on the roof. I placed a charge on the door, and lined it. I looked at Keaton who nodded. I loaded rubber bullets into my gun, and hit the charge. I heard a mechanical start up sound as the door flew open. Keaton took point. I followed strafing to the right, and Luke strafed to the left. "Okay. We move fast, and efficiently. If you need to drop hostiles use flash grenades, and rubber rounds. Only use bullets if absolutely necessary." Keaton said. "Copy that Talon One." Me and Luke answered. We moved quietly through the building. I looked through offices as Luke did the same. We moved through floor by floor locking them down as we went on. Finally we got to a target floor. I love the peace and quiet, but the adrenaline was something different. We moved through the floor through cubicles. All of us checked our sides. I saw workers hiding under desk. Then I heard two shots, and a kick to my chest. I fell down losing all the air in my lungs. I gasped, and heard white noise in my ears. I saw a figure fall, and Keaton get above me. He pulled me to the side as Luke got close to us. I finally got my hearing back "-hey rookie! You good?" Keaton asked. I nodded I put a hand over my chest. "Fuck me…." I said quietly. "Maybe later. For now let's go." Keaton answered helping me up. We moved through the floor. I knelt down at the stairs, and breathed heavily wincing. My lungs burned, and the pain in my chest grew. It felt like I got my ribs broken one by one with a hammer. "You broken?" Keaton asked. Despite every part of my body telling me not to I stood up and shook my head. We moved to the next floor. "I got six hostiles on that floor Talon Team watch your six." Jacob said. "Copy that Watcher." I answered. We moved sweeping the floor, and then the power blacked out. We knelt down behind cover. I heard a loud shot. "Armed suspect cut the power, and is now down." Jacob said. "NVG's on. Count your shots." Keaton said. We all pulled our goggles down, and I was invited by all green surroundings. I saw six white figures in front of me. "Let loose." Keaton whispered. I fired a few shots with my team and watched the figures fall. "Going hands on!" I yelled. I started zip tying suspects. "Talon Two. Stay here with them. Next floor is rally point Talon Three." Keaton said. I nodded. Keaton took point, and I followed him. "I have ten hostiles, and five hostages." Jacob said. "Copy that Watcher." I said. We walked through the floor. I heard a metal clang followed by glass breaking. I heard gunfire and bullets flew a lot. "Down!" Keaton yelled. I got down and switched to my pistol. I pointed to the right, and Keaton nodded. I moved quickly, and fired some rounds. I saw two suspects drop before I got back into cover. Keaton moved quickly as well and took out a suspect too. I heard more gunfire as well as bullets ricocheting and glass breaking. I peaked up, and saw three suspects remaining. One grabbed a hostage, and moved away from the group. Immediately I heard a loud gunshot as blood misted around the suspect. His body fell, and the hostage dropped screaming. "You're all alone now! It doesn't have to go down like this! You two have a choice!" Brooklyn yelled. I saw one suspect stand up quickly, and fall immediately after taking two shots to the chest. The last suspect stood up slowly, hands up, and he dropped his gun. "Talon Three going hands on!" I yelled moving up. I kept my pistol aimed till I got to him. I slammed the suspect down and zip tied his hands behind his back. "All suspects down. Building is clear." Jacob said. "Copy that Watcher. Rounding up suspects now, and moving out." Brooklyn said. "Fucking shit show…." Keaton said looking around. "I'm gonna go wait for an ambulance outside." I said walking out. My chest still burned from pain. It felt that every heartbeat I had was bending my ribs. I got out, took my vest off, and waited for an ambulance to come. I leaned against our team van until it did.
