**AGENT MICHAEL**"I do not care the amount of pain I'm in at this moment, if you don't shut up and do exactly what I tell you to, I will find a way to get up from this bed, head over there and slap you so hard you'll fall unconscious again."I threatened, squeezing my eyes further."Be useful and check this entire room for a first aid kit or anything, get me painkillers then after that I want you to go into the bathroom and get a bowl of water so I can try to "wash" my eyes if that's a thing. Hurry because as soon as they come back, they will try to ask questions and we have no clue what's happening. Then it's dead. Dead. Dead. Better step on it."I ordered. That seemed to get him back into gear. I heard his rushed footsteps scattered all over the room, I heard him drag cabinets in search of what I asked.It's too much to check if the door was left open then order him to go outside to see if there are any pain meds. That's too much, right?"Found it!""Holy Christ! Are you trying to
**AGENT MICHAEL**"You truly don't have a plan? All my bravery amounted to nothing?"I rolled my eyes since I could, it hurt a little but I had control of my eyes with the painkillers serving as it's supposed to."I didn't mean it that way, you can't expect things to just pop out unexpectedly, I will come up with a plan if you'll just give me time.""I recall you saying we didn't have time a few minutes ago, now you need time to think!""Yes. I need time to think."I snapped all too harshly."If I do not think about this carefully, we are going to end up with a huge mess on our hands. We might get shot as soon as we walk out of this place, I need a solid plan so if you would shut up for a second, maybe I can actually think then come up with something!"I raised a palm gritting my teeth in anger."Fine. I would just look around to see if there's anything in the room we can use to escape or aid us on the outside."Finally, He thinks.I breathed and Ethan scowled before standing up.I sh
**TRACY SCOTT** "Ma'am, I'm unable to hear you clearly due to the poor signal of your current location, but I can understand that you are in danger, could you please keep the line going as we attempt to trace your location with our equipment.""She said, I looked at Antony and he gave an approving nod.That doesn't seem like a normal response to a 911 call.They are dirty. They're also tracking our location meaning they will arrive soon.If they are making use of satellites as Antony predicted, then they will be caught by the F.B.I it would mean the plan hasn't gone up in flames just yet.Terrific."Could you confirm your name and provide any detail that might help us ascertain your current state. Nothing is too small as we'll be able to use anything you provide."She halted waiting for a reply.I cleared my throat within myself preparing to tearup again."I am not certain, but a bomb went off and because of that I got separated, I ran and I got here and
**DIRECTOR SINGH**"Sir, with all due respect, we are running out of time. If we don't act fast, we won't be left with much of an option."One of the men explained and it hurt to say that he was right. If I don't act quickly, I will lose all my cards at once.The Russian mob will disappear for another decade or more, a Father will lose his only daughter, this agency will lose one of its bestagents and a civilian who just came back from the dead will die again. Only this time it'll be real, there's no coming back"Sir."He pressured. I rubbed my temples considering every angle struggling to figure out the best solution."Alright. I need this place to be silent. Everyone needs to shut the hell up so I can think straight."I raised a hand motioning to all of them.Slowly the bickering and noise died down spreading through the command center.Finally, peace."We have a team of ten down there?"I asked no one in particular, they each took turns to nod their heads in response."I want them
**AGENT MICHAEL* **Each of us took a moment. A well deserved one since we've all been through shit in the last twenty four hours. Some more than others, I can't place myself above anyone else here but my back hurts like shit.Speaking of which, I popped two more pain killers straight in my throat while Ethan passed me a disapproving look.He can't judge when the pain is like this, I feel as though it's crushing me from inside and I just might crumble due to this pressure.One moment. We exhaled then sprang up.The battle won't finish unless there's a losing side, right now we seem to stay on it but we won't give up. Not until the scales are balanced then move straight to our favor.Until then we'll have the strength to fall flat and close our eyes.The bright side was that three men didn't lose their lives. Women didn't lose their husbands and children to their fathers. That's if not anything tipping the scales.It was meant to bring us down but we venturedthrough.I'm alive and so
**ANTONY SANTOS**. They halted on all shooting activities and since we were slightly closer to the wanna-bee door, I could hear the hurried footsteps as they struggled and scrambled around the house searching for a way in which does not involve harming Tracy."I have an idea that might, but I need you to trust me."I placed both palms over each side of her face.At those words, she shoved me again and the rejection stung."Trust? You're crazy. A psychopath even. I will never trust you again, I'll rather take my chances with the Russian mob than trust you withanything, especially something as precious as my life."She ground her teeth harshly, poking a finger in my chest.She's angry. With every damn right.I hurt her.I broke her trust.She's feeling used and drained, she could take all her anger out on me. Just not at this moment.I'll pick an angry Tracy just as long as she's a living angry Tracy.I just need her to sur
**AGENT MICHAEL**The chopper arrived and extracted us from that location. He looked excited to see me as well.Inside the plane, I could arch my back all the way, rubbing it against the texture of the seat, trying to relieve my body of the unnecessary pain it was in."Are you okay? If you aren't feeling good he could take you to the doctor. You might need a checkup after an explosion like that."Rick advised. From the corner of my eyes, I could see Ethan silently agreeing with that hypothesis."I will see a doctor, but first I'll see this mission through. I need to."I started firmly, grasping the edge of the seat.They couldn't force me to go back."Alright. This is as far as I can take you, you will have to cover the rest on foot. It's a two minute walk from here on out."The pilot yelled over the sound of the airplane.He let us down slowly, each of us jumping down once the plane was low enough."I will be waiting here since this seems like a good extraction point just in case the
**AGENT MICHAEL**We heard a loud boom up ahead.Exchanging a look amongst each other, I signaled everyone to move quickly.If I'm not wrong, that's either a low-level bomb or a grenade, either is not good."Wait."I gestured to everyone, standing in front of Rick where I got a clear view of the field.Five men lay lifeless on the ground. I gawked further and Antonov was standing right there, he had his men. That wasn't all.Antony and Tracy were as well.Tracy looked pale, clutching to him as her legs felt like rubber.They set off another Bomb. They killed those men. "My men!"Rick exclaimed, heaving his gun ready to storm in."Wait. We can't scramble into this or else we'll die as they did. Each of them will get peace after their killers are put to justice. That man in the middlewill suffer for all he's done. We have to act smart."I held his shoulder, shoving him backwards.His jaws were tightened, gazing at all of them in rage. This is ahead of the degree of anger.I can relate
