Rainbow Six: Operation Black Skies

Chapter 9 Part 2

"Guys relax, it was just a recruitment meeting, nothing really happened," I say trying to calm everyone down.

"But if you join you'll betray us," someone says and I get fed up with all the questions.

"Everyone out!" I roar loud enough that I'm sure that everyones ears popped. They all shut up looking at me surprised then they all start to file out of my dorm door. Hearing the door shut with a a firm bang I turn around and sigh.

"What the hell am I gonna do?" I ask myself walking into the bathroom and staring at myself in the mirror. I see the tub and smell myself and say, "what the hell? What do I have to lose?" I turn on the hot water and plug the drain then strip. I get in and slowly ease myself down into the tub.

Just then I hear a knock at the door. 'Goddamit, now who is it?' I think to myself and yell, "Go away I need some me time," but the knocking doesn't abait.

"Fuckin' hell, this better be good," I yell as I get out and wrap a towel around my waist while making my way to the door.

"What the fuck is it this ti-" I answer the door but stop in my tracks when I see it's Lucy.

"Hey..." she squeaks looking me up and down blushing while doing so.

"Hey?" I reply in a questioning tone letting go of the towel for a second making it fall a bit.

"I... uh... just wanted to see how you were doing..." she answers back her eyes locked on mine.

"You know you could've texted me, right?" I say looking around the hall for other operators that could've been with her or put her up to this.

"Yeah I know," she looks down at the ground and continues, "I just wanted to... apologize for the way I acted earlier about the video. I had no reason to act like that, especially since you were raped and... yeah,"

I'm momentarily speechless then say, "It's fine. Look I'm busy at the moment so if you could come back in..." I look at my watch, "thirty minutes to an hour that would be perfect so we can talk about this then," I look at her for a nod or a shake of her head or a verbal response.

She slowly nods her head and backs away then turns and heads down the hall. I shut the door and walk away, then there's another knock at the door. I throw my head back onto my shoulders and shove out a groan loud enough for them to hear. I hear a muffled laugh through the door.

I walk over to the door and swing it open and say, "Sabitini pizzeria and abortion clinic where last weeks loss is this weeks sauce how may I help you?"

Taina and Meghan who were at the door burst into gales of laughter, "What do you want?"

Taina is the first one to turn serious and asks, "We're having a dru- a little pow-wow with the Russians, Germans, and a couple of the FBI ops tonight if you wanna come?"

"Actually I'm kind of busy right now so- wait you said tonight right?" She nods a little too vigorously and I sigh and ask, "What time?"

By this time Meghan stopped laughing and answers my question with a question, "so that's a yes?"

"What. Time. Is. It?" I bite off the words one by one so they hear me clearly.

"It's at eleven forty-five in the mess hall," Taina answers me after a moment.

"I'll think about it,"

"Ok, see ya there," Meghan says before walking away with Taina beside her. I sigh and shut the door, walking over to the fridge I reach in and get a can of Pepsi and crack it open then take a swig.

Taking out my phone I scroll through the news until something catches my eye.

'New terrorist threat confirmed? With the uprising of this mysterious White Mask terrorist group more smaller groups have been rising mimicking the White Masks.'

"What the fuck? New terrorist threat? Why haven't we been informed of this?" I say to my empty room. As I say that I feel my phone start vibrating. Looking down I see the same familiar UKNOWN NUMBER pop up, sighing I answer.

"Yeah?" I ask.

"What's your answer?" A strange female voice asks me.

"My answer is no..." I hesitantly say thinking about the news headline.

"Ok, good-"

"Wait do y'all know about the new terrorist threat?" I ask quickly.

"I can neither confirm or deny that unless you join us." She says in the same monotonous tone that she had when I answered.

"Fuck. Fine I'll join, only on one condition that is my fiancé gets to come to live with me wherever I move," I reply with my demands.

There's a slight pause then she says, "Welcome to the Snakes Prey Mr. Sabitini." Then there's a click and all I here is a slight humming growing louder and louder.

"Fucking tenitus," I say as the door pops open and I see a concussion grenade and knock out gas grenade get thrown in my room. My eyes widen when I see them and run for the door, but it slams shut. I go for the gas mask I keep in my room the concussion nade explodes slowing my movements enough for the gas nade to fill up my room making me breath it in.

"Shit... caught... again..." I slur then fall on my face hearing a crunch.
