Last Hope (14 page)

“
That’s just a myth, there
is no such thing.”

“
Commander. If truth serum
exist, how come fear gas does not? Also if jell bullets are real
then how come we can not put fear gas into the bullets to dissolve
once inside the target?” Sandra ask.

The commander said nothing for a while.
“Thank you for your report Sandra, that will be all.”

Mission 19 A Flower Has
Bloom

The Next day Commander was talking to
the council about the discovery. “That is correct Council. It
appears the terrorist has install fear gas and fear bullets into
their weapons. The chemical for this is called 3-Quinuclidinyl
benzilate otherwise known as BZ. This chemical has been use by the
military in security for a while.”

“
The thought of our best
going into fear like this is troublesome. However we don’t have
time to worry about that now. Russia is under heavy attack and
needs your help. Send in a squad over there and save those people
Commander!” With that being said the Council cancel
transmission.

“
Commander.” One of the
commander’s spoke. “Should I prepare our new top six
squad?”

“
No, After what Sandra went
through yesterday, I don’t think her mind is right to go into
another mission right now. I want Juan Soto, Sakuro Kato, Boris
Pavlov, Matzah Seashore, Andres Jensen and I still need a sniper so
lets have Katrina Chepurnova to keep an eye on things.”

“
Commander, Andres, Matzah,
and Boris had never been on the field before.”

“
Did I stutter?” Commander
ask as he look at his assistant dead in the eye.

Kato who was in the bathroom got choked
up and drop a piece of plastic on the ground. She got scared when
Katrina bang on her door. “Kato, your pager is going off in your
room. hurry up and get ready, we both have a mission to get
to.”

“
I’m coming!” Kato told her
as she pick up the piece of plastic that she drop so no one else
would find it.

When she arrived on the aircraft Soto
gave her a big hug and an even bigger smile. “Nice to see you being
able to make it sis.”

“
It’s nice to see you to.”
Kato told her brother with a shaky voice.

“
Say Kato, may I ask you
something?” Kato’s head quickly jump up to look at her brother.
“It’s none of my business but I would still like to know because I
am your brother, but are you and Gary, dating?”

“
I, we.” Kato had to think
about what to say next.

“
After our last mission not
to long ago, gary seem to only smile when he is able to get a small
glimpse of you. If you two are dating that is great and all but if
you are not, then I think you should let him know if he does not
already.” Kato just nod her head.

Katrina stood up before they reach
their destination to give her squad a little speech. “The last time
I was on a mission where I had to go rescue people, we found Sara.
That was all the way back on Mission seven. The enemy has gotten
stronger and so have we. There goal is going to be the same as last
time, kill everyone. Our goal is going to be the same as last time,
kill every Son that we see. Also be on the look out for Sons that
has swords, if you see them, run away and fire behind you. These
men are stronger than you, they can run faster than you, and there
blades can pierce through your heart with ease.” The aircraft
landed and the back door open behind Katrina. “I wish you all the
best of luck, I will be in the back looking through my high power
scope. I will give you cover so make sure you stay in my line of
sight but try not to get in my way when I pull the trigger.
Understood?” Her squad gave a brisk nod and they all head
out.

Three enemies appear, everyone shot at
one but miss. Katrina aim with her sniper, shot and hit her target,
not kill. Soto fire at same target, miss. Boris fire at his target,
kills it. Maizah fire at the target that Katrina hit, kills it. In
the mix of all the fire Kato was able to save a person. “Get out of
here.” Kato told the civilian. “There is a pathway over there that
you can take, keep your head down and you won’t get shot.” As soon
as Kato was able to save that person, she found another person
hiding in a box. “You’re free now, go.” She told the civilian. When
Kato save that person she found three swords guys out in the
distance. “SWORDS!” She shouts as she rush back to
cover.

Soto move up ahead a little bit, killed
the last regular Son. Boris shot at a sword Son, but miss. One
sword guy runs next to Boris, Katrina fire at it with pistol, hit,
but light damage. The other two swords killed two civilians.
Katrina was able to snipe the sword that ran next to Boris. “My
gosh.” Boris said out of breath. “You are not kidding Katrina,
these guy will stop at nothing.” Boris shot at another sword, but
miss again. ‘Fucking A, can’t get a shot on these guy!” Andres shot
at the same target that Boris shot at. He was able to hit the Sword
guy but not kill him. Maizah fire at another sword, but miss. Kato
fire at same sword that Maizah miss and was able to kill it. The
last sword retreats as two more Sons appear. One goes after Boris,
while the other goes for Maizah. Andres fire at the son near Boris,
hit but not kill. Maizah retreats, shot at her son, hit, not kill.
Kato retreats, try to kill the son near Boris, but miss. “Damit it,
guns empty!” Boris said out loud as he retreats to reload. Soto was
able to kill the son near Boris. “Much obliged mate. I owe you
one.” Boris said looking at Soto then over at Katrina. “I have not
forgot about you as well princess.”

“
Why don’t you fucking hit
your target next time?” Katrina told herself, as she saw the other
Son still making its way to Maizah. Katrina took aim with her rifle
and was able to kill it.

A tank and another son appear, Soto
fire at the Son but miss. The wounded sword comes back, Andres
fires at it, hits it, does not kill it. Two more Sons appear.
Andres fire again, and was able to kill the last Sword. “Last Sword
is down!” Andres told everyone.

Katrina moves ahead, shoots at one Son
with a pistol, hit but light damage. Soto fire at same Son, does
not kill it. Boris fire at same Son kills it. “Aha! Looks like I am
not going blind after all!” Boris said with laughter.

The tank moves forward, Kato fires but
miss. One Son kills a civilian. the tank fire at Katrina, she is
not doing so well. Katrina fires back at the tank despite being
really injure.”How you holding up Alpha?” Soto ask while he
reloads.

Boris fire at a son, does not kills it.
Andres has to reload. Maizah fire at same son, kills it. Kato fire
at the tank. Katrina fire at tank, with an exploding bullet and was
able to destroy the tank. Andres was able to kill the last Son. The
place was clear, 11 people was able to get away from the mess. It
wasn't bad since it was a first mission for three
soldiers.

Back home Katrina got put in Sic-Mad
for four days but with her actions, and no soldiers dying, she
became a Major. Kato becomes a sergeant, earns the nickname,
mustang. Soto got promoted to a corporal. Boris got sent over to
the heavy class. While Andres went to Sniper and Maizah went to
heavy.

Gary was in the men’s barracks Support
section, when his door open. “Ah Kato, nice to see you, I just had
a writers block so I wasn’t writing anything down in my book for
right now. How did the mission went?”

“
It went good, we lost no
soldiers and we had Katrina looking after us.” She said in a calm
voice as she sat next to him. “How far are you in the
book?”

Gary moan a bit. “Not that far, I just
finish one chapter and I don’t know what would keep the readers
reading for the next chapter since this one was such, a filler
really.”

“
I got an idea for a next
chapter.” She told Gary has she wrap her arm around his and gave
him a hug.

“
Kato?” Gary ask in a
confusion.

“
I’m pregnant.” Kato admits
to Gary.

Mission 20 Birthday Party

The entire place over at B.A.S.E was
getting ready for Sara’s birthday party. The main hall was being
filled up with banners and balloons, the place was looking real
nice. Commander even had a party hat on when the Council gave him a
call in the War Room. “Commander, it is the end of the month and we
are very please with your results. This is not a statement that the
Council gives lightly. However, don’t let it go to your head, or
your hat for that matter Commander.” The council cancel the
transmission and everyone in the War Room went back to work,
looking for any actives from the Sons.

Gary was outside the dorm with a
cigarette with Soto. “Do you think the Sons of Liberty throw
birthday parties?”

Soto gave Gary an awkward look. “Don’t
think about that now, and also get rid of that shit.” Soto said as
he grabs Garys cigarette and toss it away. “It’s Sara’s birthday,
dont be smocking today.”

“
Sorry about that, I forgot
who but I am sure a when I was new here. A soldier gave me a smoke,
told me that it calms my nerves. It does, but now I am fucking
addicted.”

“
You will break
it.”

“
Going have to.” Gary let
out a long pause before counting. “Say Soto, I know I should let
your sister tell you this first but. I just don’t want you to bash
my brains in later. You do know that Kato is pregnant
right?”

“
I know.” Soto said with a
sigh. “I don’t know whether I should say congratulations, or I’m
going to kill you. However I was never there for Kato as a brother,
and she is an adult now anyway. To be honest, I am more afraid what
is going to happen when Commander finds out. Can’t keep that thing
a secret in a place like this forever.”

Over at the girls barracks. Sandra was
busy dressing up Sara. “A seven year old girl, does not want to be
a princess like you read in a fairy tale. Instead she wants a ball
for her birthday. The funny part about this, is that the whole X is
pitching in.”

“
I love the last ball we
had, and I think being in a ball is more fun than going to a
regular party.” Sara told her.

Sandra just chuckle and shook her head.
“Don’t worry Sara, in a world full of death and fear you are full
of life and courage.”

“
The games that people have
been giving like Legend of Zelda taught me a lot of things, like
courage and how to be strong.”

Sandra just chuckles some more. “Most
ordinary girls who play video games won’t learn things like
that.”

“
I am not ordinary now am
I?” Sara said with a smirky smile.

Sandra pause and gave Sara a confuse
and surprise look on her face. Sara only let out a warm smile.
Sandra shook her head with a smile and with a chuckle she said. “No
Sara, no you are not normal.”

Over at the aircraft six new soldiers
all getting ready to leave for their mission. “Sara has to be the
Commander’s daughter for the whole base to be throwing her a
party.” Maxim Lebdev told everyone.

“
Just because she may be the
Commanders daughter does not mean that you should look down on a
seven year old.” Jay Wilson spoke for Sara’s defense.

“
I know that, but she is
going to be one of those girls that you have to do whatever she
wants. She tells you to do something, you have to do it.” Maxim
explains.

“
Don’t you have to do that
for every girl if you want to have sex with them?” Marie Leroy told
him with a wink and a smile.

Maxim just gave her a snob look. “I bet
you made lots of men cry before sex.”

“
I like to control my
victims.” She says with laughter.

The aircraft doors opens up and
everyone got inside. “Come on kids, let’s hurry up and close this
mission before we are late for the party.” Christian Tucker told
them.

As they board the airplane, to other
people did not speak. “What's your name?” Maxim ask looking at one
of the soldiers.

“
It’s, An, Andrea Moletta.”
Andrea said in shame.

“
It’s what?” Maxim said in
laughter. “Andrea, Moletta!” Maxim said back in heavy laughter.
“Thats the most girly name I had ever heard for a guy ever! Was
your penis so small that they thought you were a girl?”

The other soldier who have not spoken
yet interrupts Maxim. “A name is nothing more than a mask for
people to hide behind. A name does not tell us who we are, but what
we do instead.”

“
Who may you be, oh wise
one?” Maxim ask.

“
My name is Babatunde
Miambo, and I do not appreciate your behavior towards
Andrea.”

“
Ah cheer up old bud. Andrea
and I are just playing around. No hard feelings right kid?” Maxim
said looking at Andrea who only nods his head yes. he door opens
and all six of them got out of the aircraft. “Alright ladies, try
not to get yourself shot or killed on your first mission. That
means you two Andrea.” Maxim told everyone as they carry on their
mission.

Babatunde spots three heavies, I got
two heavy’s!” Andrea, goes next to the building, found two more
Sons. “I got a couple of Sons over here!” Maxim fire a pistol
inside the building, hitting one of the sons, not killing it.
Andrea fire at same son, kills it.
