Chapter Nineteen

Ally and Squad Alpha take a glimpse at a wide range of police vehicles circling around Metx.

“ Seems like every cop from every nine yards is here.” Darick shouts holding his shotgun from behind his head while wearing the same dark camo combat uniform as the rest of the squad.

“Squad Alpha!” A male voice shouts with heavily armed men following behind him. “I’m squad leader of my Swat team, Creg Vein.” .

“I’m Ally “Violet” Miller, lead of Squad Alpha.” She said with a quick salute.

Creg said as he tapped the tip of his nose.“You look like hell itself will rip you a new one with that bandage on your nose.”

“Not the worst I've experienced.” Ally smiled smugly for a moment. “The status?” .

Creg sends info to Ally, Darick, and James’s lens interface for a second and says.“ You all should get a map layout .”

“We got it!” Ally responds .

Creg looks over to the Metx corporate building. "We believe that both the main building and the warehouse behind it may contain a great amount of hostages.” He advises. “ My plan is that we all work in union and scout out the buildings together.” .

Ally shakes her head sideways as she says. “ I feel that’ll take too long to navigate. The group's leader may be attempting to kidnap their ceo.” . Creg crosses his aims with mid frustration.

“So what's your plan?” He asks. “To split with that small squad of yours.”.

“ We can handle the main building.” Ally says. “As your squad goes through the warehouse section. Right now, we all have a common goal. Get these people out alive at any cost. ” .

Creg puts both of his hands on top of his buzz cut head. “ With what my head has told me about your organization.” He goes. “I shouldn't be too shocked. I went ahead and told my squad to equip non lethal shock rounds within our arsenal.” Greg holds out a large, black rifle with a transparent scope. “This baby is the AT-700. Can fire any rounds so quickly to penetrate through armor surfaces.” .

“I respect the following to our preferences.” Ally nods.

“Just following orders.” Creg said grimly. “My approach to this mission would have quite the difference. But, as squad lead, your group helped pushed this terrorist out of his rat hole. Only makes sense that we work together.” .

“Indeed” Ally responds. “Let's get going, now.” .

Creg presses the button on the collar of his armor. Suddenly his fleshy grit face transforms into a metallic dark structure with only a T shaped visor.

“Squad, ATTENTION!” He shouts through the helmet. “We are going to head right though the parking lot and towards the entrance of the warehouse department. Extract and rescue hostages caught. Stick together and move quickly.”

His squad of four went and shouted collectively. “YES, Sir!”.

“Then let's Move!” Creg commanded with his group’s weapons at hand.

Squad Alpha watched his group move as a collective.

Ally stares back at James and Darick and commands. “ We’ll go through the entrance and see if we can pick up any unarmed civilian we find as we make our way up.”.

“We don’t know how many of them are there.” James argued.

Ally sighs and goes “We are running low on time with Mr. Allaire’s life. We’ll have to make the best of what we got.” .

“Miller!” Celi snapped out of her silence. “ If you can. Get me footage of the nearest camera of the company you can. I got a quick idea that’ll help you all out but I need to make sure it works.” .

“ Noted!” Ally responds . “Now, enough chit chat. Weapons out, MOVE!” .

Squad Alpha make their ways towards the shred glass of the front door of the Corporate office. With three piles of shot up robots.

“I spot the camera on top of the shattered entrance.” Ally informs.

“ Got model number. Thanks, Chicka!” Celi cheers. “Now, just do a quick favor and if you are able to. Get to the nearest computer open. I need an Wireless protocol address so I can gain access across the company’s surveillance system.” .

“Walk across carefully.” Ally advises.

The squad walks slowly among the wreckage of robotic steel and glass.

“We made it inside, Mertez .” Ally whispers as the group walks up to an empty desk with a transparent screen. “I see a little laptop on Jenny’s desk. Got to make sure to find her and anyone else taken by those fiends.” .

“Get into that Computer!” Celi commands. Ally hops over the table and logs on with holographic keyboards.

“No password log in. That's a relief!” Ally thought. She clicks through the system for the password information. “Found the code, “Metxovereden”. ” .

“ Ok, My laptop is connected to the wi-fi server. The system seems to have the cam app on there according to your live feed. Check the computer for settings that should allow for remote control.” Celi advised. “I’m sending the code number for my connection. Once you log me on. I should be able to control that application on that laptop.” .

Stolen story; please report.

“ Inputting number seven, two, nine, three." Ally responds as she quickly types away.

“Checking up for any “brave” copper willing to die!” . a male voice shouted.

“ threat incoming!” James whispered.

Ally waves her right hand back. James and Darick hop across to the other side of the desk.

“They might be making a move. See a lot of cars.” The punk with a rifle shouts.

As the squad hides, Ally pulls out her pistol. She stands up and shoots out a dart to the back of the punk's head.

"Ugh!” the punk makes as he quickly falls down.

“ Both of you get his body and carefully put it behind the desk.” Ally commands.

The two men nod and rush over to the downed body as Ally continues to connect Celi’s laptop to the company’s computer.

“Should be set up, Mertez . tell me when.”.

“You nailed it!” Celi cheered. “ I have a solid connection. I can freely control the computer and now have access to the company’s camera application.” .

“It's like a ghost is controlling the system.” Ally thought.

“ As long as I have power.” Celi informed as she swifts though the office’s computer remotely. “I should have a lot of insight on every section of the building.”

Ally watches the screen as Celi inspects hundreds of live camera footage.

“I see you three in the entrance and the room next to you has three armed guards." Celi informing the group. "One is standing near the ledge of a large fountain, the other is sitting next to two hostages tied at what looks to be a social spot and one near the stairs on the right side at the end of the room . two hostages. Three armed men wearing vests, jeans, shoe wear, of some sort, and ski masks.”

“Got it!” Ally responds quietly. “We picked that up on our group call, Mertez .”

James said while he and Darick dropped the punk’s body behind the desk.

“Any hiding advantages?” Ally asked.

“Quite limited.” Celi admits. “ Looks like you guys are going to have to get crafty with your gear.” .

“I got my flashnade ready to go.” Derrick said as taps his nade .

“Solid!” Ally said, turning her attention to her squad. “ I’ll give you all a go and you throw it into the room.”

They nod in agreement and slowly walk towards the other room.

“Please!” the cries of women are heard. “We leave you be. Just don't kill us.” .

“that voice.” James thought. “Jenny! They better not harm her! ” .

Ally puts up her right hand while holding her pistol with the left. She puts her three fingers.

James inspects his G700 dart rifle’s scope he recently installed.

She puts down only two fingers.

Darick gets out his nade from the belt pocket.

Ally puts out only one finger.

Three take aim with their weapons as Darick throws out the nade to the room.

“Active your cyber lens's thermal mode!” Ally orders as they run right into a now brightly but temporarily lit room.

“ my eyes!” one of the thugs shouted.

“We got the feds here!” another one shouted.

Ally took a shot with the thug near the two hostages.

“I need backup!” shouted the thug guarding the stairs.

James , aiming down with his rifle, strikes at him. As the flash clears and smoke rises. The thug standing near the fountain regained his vision and saw the three agents.

“sneaky bastards !” He shouted with his hand on the trigger.

A blast of needles comes from Darick’s shotgun. A blast so strong it sent the thug hurdling into the waterfall life structure itself.

“Hostiles clear for now!” Darick shouted.

Ally turns to the tied women

“James, watch for the other guards.” She commands. “Darick, help me untie the two.”

He nods and rushes over to help one of the hostages.

“ Seeing quite the group bordering the elevator!” Celi informs.

Ally and Darick use their Needle blades to cut the rope off both the hands of the women.

“Sorry for the light but we’re in a hurry.” Ally says.

“Bless you.” an exhausted Jenny says while trying hard not to weep.

“ They're coming for the CEO!” the other woman shouts.

“Thank me later when I save him.” Ally says with a stern look. “ Right now, you too need to leave the building fast! Conner and Urgo make sure those two are out alive. I’m carrying onwards to the top floor.”. Ally rushes away shortly after.

“Guess we were scouting the other floors on our own.” James said to Darick. “Let's get these two out fast!” .

Ally runs up each step with such blaze. Her heart pounds slightly louder crossing each grueling floor. “Punarjanma at fifty percent.” she thought .

A flash of darkness blinds her sight with voices as she falls on one of the steps.

“I can’t stop here now.” she thought. “Need to ignore the noise.”

“You're killing yourself, Ally.” A familiar voice is heard.

“Steve?!” Ally's voice was shaken. “I won’t!”

“You are unfit for a leader!” Another close voice is heard!

“James, We’re co-leads that have been through thick and thin.” Her voice filled with desperation .

“Please, my dear.”

“No, that can’t be..Father!” Her voice quakes with overwhelming shock.

“Go home, Ally.” He said. “You don’t need to risk your life for these people.”

“What the hell is this!?” She shouted. “ This isn’t real!”

The rumblings grow louder. “Miller!” a voice shouts. “Get up, please!” it begs with mercy.

“Mertez, what happened?” Ally asks while leaning back up quickly from the multiple edges of the stairs.

“ Looking at the footage of the stair department. You got a crowd of thugs coming your way!”.

Ally looks down at the edge of the stairs.

“ What are you doing?” Celi questioning greatly.

“Hanging in there.” Ally responds as she jumps over the large rail of the stairs.

“Heard they're downstairs!” a random thug shouts.

Ally leans on the rails as a crowd of them just runs past by. Using every ounce of strength she pulls herself forward up as the rumbles lowered.

“Get it together, Miller.” She whispered to herself as she rested down the steps once more.

“Thank the stars.” Celi said with such grand relief. “I thought for a second about the corruption.”.

“ I don’t have what you think it is.” Ally interrupted. “Just a quick fall is all, love.” .

“I guess so.” Celi sighs. “ You’re only five floors from the top.” .

“Inform the rest of the squad that more backup is coming from the stairway.” Ally commands.

“Got it but please be safe.” Celi said before hanging up. Regaining more of her breath, Ally continues on up the remaining few floors.
