"So, what is the plan now that we have extra people?" Matt asks
"Ummm. I say we go for the same approach but now we can have a buddy system." I state, "Pick your buddy. Choose between Meader or Brewer."
"Wait, why can one of us have Vadakin? Why do you get to have him?"
"Because I said so. Unless if he wants to go with one of you."
"Nah, I am cool with riding with you." Vadakin replies
"Alright then. Pick your poison you four."
"Uh, I will take Meader." Matt states
"Alright, I'll take Brewer then." Austin says
"Awesome, remember, same rules as before same check-in intervals. Vadakin, I will be back in just a second I need to check on someone."
I proceed to run upstairs to the room and knock on the door and I ask into the room, "Are you there Brooklyn?"
No Response.
"Brooklyn?"
Nothing.
"Zulu-2 are you there?" I call over the radio.
I unlock the door using the biometric scanner outside the room. The door unlocks and I rush in.
"Brooklyn?!?!?" I yell
No response. As I look in the room, I notice the open window and then I see that there is a note on the bed. It is from the clown; Well, maybe a fingerprint wasn't your best idea. Time for a new target. How about this one I found here? Remember your mother is still on the death clock.
"All Stations, All Stations we have an active fifty-five. Zulu-2 is MIA. Objective is also missing. Main Target is now S-O-S. Full Auto is allowed. Please keep using flashes to clear buildings." I say in the radio
"Roger that, what is a 55 again?" Meader asks
"Missing person." Brewer states
"Wilco. Out." Meader replies
I rush downstairs and resupply my ammunition for my M4. Vadakin also reloads his rifles ammunition.
"So, when are we gonna go and get this sumabich?" Vadakin Asks
"Soon, but dear god I hope we're in time to save her." I reply
Austin and Brewer are out patrolling, and they get to talking about life after this battle. You know, things like career options then a new subject is brought up.
"Hey, how long did you know that Berry has had a Girl bro?" Brewer asks
"Shit, I just heard about it like 3 to 5 hours ago." Austin replies
"Interesting, aren't y'all brothers? Like I'm a single child so I don't know a lot about how much siblings tell each other."
"Yeah, we all have our secrets that we tell each other and we're like 'Don't tell anyone else' and we keep the secrets but then there are Ones that we just keep to ourselves."
"Okay. I see what you-"
Just as Brewer starts to speak the two of them come up on the shed in the backyard. I know we call it a shed, but it is more like the size of a small barn. Naturally, Austin cracks open the door and then throws in a flashbang. He shuts the door and there is a small flash of light and the two of them swing the door open wide to find a random guy sitting on a chair with note by a severed hand. They walk closer to the body and see that on him he is wearing American flag short shorts, Hawaiian shirt, red, white, and blue pit vipers, OCP boonie, condor OCP plate carrier with ten grenade pouches, two ammo belts over shoulders, coyote brown combat boots and a backup pair of plaid boxer briefs. As they walk past the note without reading it, they proceed to search the rest of the shed and find a multitude of things. They find a M249 SAW, FN 45 tactical, Alice pack full of MREs, duct tape, and a box of hot Cheeto flavored trojan condoms. They walk back to the note and read it. Brewer then reads it out on the radio.
"All stations, new note found in the shed. It says, 'So you think calling in reinforcements will save you. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You are severely mistaken. There will only be more blood on your hands. I'm sure your mother is close to death by now and your little friend will be too!!! TICK TOCK YOU'RE ALMOST OUT OF TIME.' Well, off that what are priorities?"
"We will still find main objective first. Then we will go for Zulu-2. Understood?" I state
"Wilco. Out."
Matt and Meader continue in their search for our mom and Brooklyn. As they are walking, they come across a larger barn. Once again, Meader cracks open the door to find that it won't budge. Matt then tries and he can't get it open.
"Hey Meader, throw the flashbang through the window on the side, we'll enter through the window." Matt states
"Alright. FLASHBANG OUT!!!" Meader Yells
There is a flash and the two jump through the window to find the door they tried entering through blocked by what looked like a snake, a large One to boot. In the middle of the barn with about 30 other smaller snakes maybe 3 feet in length swirling around a woman who was slumped over.
Matt calls out to her, "Hey, Lady. Are you there?"
No response.
"Hey Matt, shoot the damn snakes so I can get over there to check her out and to see if she's dead or just unconscious."
"Alright."
CRACK, CRACK, CRACK, POP, POP, POP, POP
"Thanks."
Meader walks up to the woman and checks for a pulse, and she finds One. She proceeds to take out a collapsible stretcher from her bag and sets it up. As she does that, she tells Matt to shoot the damn snake in front of the door and then to move it.
"Alright the door is clear and open. Lemme come and help you transport her back." Matt states
"Awesome, thanks." Meader replies
"Wait, she looks familiar. Holy shit that's mom!" Matt exclaims
"Alpha-One this is Charlie-One, over" Matt calls
"Charlie-One this is Alpha-One What's going on?" I reply
"Well, we found main objective. They're unconscious. We are bringing them back to the CP. Over."
"Understood. Have Meader tend to any wounds once they are back at the medical tent at the CP. We will continue to look for the fifty-five. Over."
"Wilco. Charlie-One Out."
"Alpha-One Out."
