CARMEN

Angie and her team moved. It wasn’t so much her team, as she was leading this team. Her real team was either dead or screwing around over at the catwalk. Fortunately, everybody was moving like they had trained forever.

Angie and her battle buddy, iWinner from Team MYNdBendz- Southhaven’s team, would lay down supressing fire. Then Flanni and Jonezzz, one of Flanni’s squad, would move forward to cover. They would switch roles and Angie and her battle buddy would advance to cover while Flanni and Jenfle provided cover fire. Xxavier, team Southaven’s squadmate in Team MYNdBendz and Jenfle, Flanni’s medic, had tried to provide overwatch, but for whatever reason it wasn’t working out as well as it should have.

The leapfrog had worked well for most of the length of the processing plant. This time the move broke down. The rebels were waiting. When the rebels popped up to shoot, they didn’t pop up where Angie expected. Her and her battle buddy were shooting straight forward, The rebels popped up more to the side.

They nailed Flanni as he ran. His status bar immediately went red and started to flicker black. His battle buddy, Jonezzz, was flashing yellow and red. He was in serious trouble.

Angie and iWinner were able to react. A gout of blood from a headshot and the first rebel was down. iWinner, her battle buddy, wasn’t as quick to shoot, but his aim was almost as good as Angie’s. The second rebel was down.

On the minimap, Angie could see Jenfle, the medic, was moving to Flanni.

From the end of the processing plant, it wasn’t that far away, came the sound of gun shots and then a slamming metal door.

“North Assault this is Assault Six, be advised that Southern assault has the processing plant surrounded. Somebody just tried to go out the back door. Two rebels down and at least one ducked back inside. Do you want southern Assault to pursue into the processing plant?’

“Negative, assault six.” Angie responded. “We are too close. Will report back….”

“Marines!” A voice yelled out from the back of the processing plant. Woman’s voice, Hispanic accent- it was Carmen. “Stop shooting and we can talk.”

Angie transmitted to Captain Bukowski, “I will get back to you soonest, Northern Assault out.” Then she whispered over the unit comm channel, “be careful, this may be a diversion.” Finally, she yelled, “What do you want to talk about?”

“Angie, is that you? You are a tough, smartest of all,” Carmen shouted in her Spanish Accent. “Let’s talk, you and me.”
