Hello, there! I'm here again with a new story, multi-chapters this time *yay*
The military language, descriptions of missions and all that stuff aren't my thing but I did my best so I hope it isn't that bad, lol.
Thank you again for all of your reviews for my previous stories, I don't usually answer them individually but knows that it goes right to my heart and light up my days!
Again, I apologize for any grammar or syntax mistakes. English isn't my mothertongue.
Enjoy the read!
The zodiac was heading at high speed towards the land, crossing the ocean and jumping against the waves. On board were the Lieutenant Cruz, Wolf, Green, Sacha and the Captain. Their mission was simple: a part of a village on an island had been abandoned several months ago, suggesting then that a part of Peng's army had elected home there to store their bombs. With the agreement of the President, the Captain decided to go there to confirm – or not – the suspicions.
After a good ten minutes, they finally reached the coast. Cruz wasn't part of the team, only mandated to drop them and join back the ship, so did he. The rest went down the zodiac, and walked with assurance on the sand, with their bulletproof vest on, arms in hand ready to plunge into the depths of the jungle.
The trails were narrow, Tom was leading the way followed by Sacha, Green and then Wolf. Each one of them was throwing looks around through the foliage, ready to fight at the slightest misstep. They were moving slowly and noiselessly, the only sound was branches crackling under their feet. The weather was hot and humid, which made the task slightly more difficult to bear for their organism.
After half an hour of walking, the part of the jungle they had crossed began to dissipate gradually, the trail then became larger as they moved forward. Two large buildings appeared then in front of them.
"The place seems deserted." Wolf noticed.
"Stay alert, can be a trap." Tom said with a low voice.
After a few meters, Tom raised his hand above his shoulder while staying focused on his gun and motioned for his team to separate into two groups: Sacha and he would take the left building, while Green and Wolf would take the right one. Once the duets were done, they quickened the pace and reached the doors. Tom looked at Green, they nodded to each other while the Captain made a three count with his hand before opening the doors simultaneously on their respective side. When they entered, the rooms were dark, the only light was coming from the sun through the small windows high on the walls.
''It looks like an ordinary abandoned factory. No sign of the bombs.'' Sacha informed them on the radio while the two kept moving.
The tables were dusty, materials strewn everywhere, the machines were shut down as if time had stopped and that everything had been abandoned in the blink of an eye. Sacha headed to the closets along the walls, and opened them one by one, searching for anything but in vain. They soon reached the end of the warehouse where another door was locked with a chain and a padlock.
''Green, there's a lock to break here.'' Tom spoke into his radio.
''Right away, Captain.''
Tom and Sacha waited while keeping an eye around them.
''I've a bad feeling.'' Sacha finally confessed. Tom waited for her to keep going. ''It's too easy.''
''Let's see what's inside first.'' He answered by pointing the door with a light nod.
"This is the only place on the island, for hundreds of kilometers around, which can store a full armament." She paused. "We both know that Peng would never let a site such as this one without supervision."
Suddenly the door opened, causing a crash that made them jump. Instinctively, they pointed their weapons at the noise but the adrenaline immediately went down at the sight of Green and Wolf.
"It's only us." The dark-haired man said.
Green rushed to the door and let his gun falling along his body to take the clip from his back.
"What about the other shed?" Tom asked.
"Nothing to report, similar to this one except there's no other doors." Wolf said, looking around.
The Lieutenant broke the chain in two, and threw it carelessly on the floor. Sacha and Tom gave a big kick in the doors to open them. As they moved forward, boxes were opened on the tables with the same marks as those they had found a few days earlier. Unfortunately, these were empty again. Tom banged his fist on the table, his face red from rage.
"How the hell do they always have a step ahead of us!" He said angrily.
"They knew." Green ended. Sasha looked into Tom's eyes, her face all worried. He then took his radio and tried to join the Nathan James, but the line was full of interference.
"Let's get out of here." He said moving to the exit. They walked quickly still on guard, not knowing what could wait for them outside. Once they had reached the door, they took position and Wolf slid the door forcefully before taking his gun back in hands. Nothing nor no one outside, at least they believed for a brief moment.
As soon as they were out of the warehouse, three vehicles came out of the large trails on either sides. Four armed men in each car, opening fire on them without letting them a chance to escape. They shot back while withdrawing to the back of the shed in a safer position as bullets managed to reach one of the driver and two men.
Two of the cars went around, trying to trap them from the other side. Arriving at the back of the hangar, they had no choice but crossing without any protections to the rubble mount at several meters away, this was their only chance to be safe. Wolf was taking charge of the men remaining in the vehicle while Green, Tom and Sasha were trying to neutralize the other two vehicles. They walked again and again until they reached a pile of pallets and hid behind it.
"Cover me!" Tom shouted to Green and Sasha, through the sounds of whistling bullets. They executed the orders, leaned their elbows on the pallets and relentlessly fired their enemies while Tom was racing towards the other pile a few meters away from their position. After reaching the target, the three of them crouched behind the shelter and reloaded their gun. The three Navy Seals looked at each other and nodded. Three seconds later, Green and tom got up and gave a new burst of gunfire while Sacha run towards the Captain, shooting too towards the vehicles.
Halfway there, three more shots rang out from above, all reached their target. Sacha collapsed in the ground and before anyone could react, Wolf arrived next to Green and shot the man who was on the roof of the second warehouse.
"Sacha!" Tom shouted. He fired several bursts toward Peng's men before rushing towards her body. Green and Wolf covered him as he grabbed the collar of her vest and pulled her as quickly as possible to his shelter.
She moaned as he pulled her in the last few centimeters. He crouched beside her, one knee on the ground. She was still alive, her face tensed because of the pain. He pushed his gun to his back to check her wounds superficially. Two bullets had been stopped by her bulletproof vest in the abdomen, but the last was over two centimeters off, right in the collarbone. Her jacket was immaculate in red, she was losing blood quickly and abundantly. Tom looked up at his men.
"We need to move, NOW!" He shouted with all his strength.
