Playing With Fire (R6xOC)

Chapter 4

"You know that you're my brother, right Krystof?" That same voice that haunts my dreams said.

"Yeah. Fight together, die together, right Mason?" I said, as I held my fist up. He fist bumped me, before he turned on me.

"But that's not how it ends, is it, Krystof?" The fuck? This isn't how this happened. "You turn on us. You kill us, all for a few worthless hostages?"

No! This isn't how it goes! I had no choice but to kill you, they were children for Christ sake!

"You did much worse back in the day, Krystof. And to just up and gain a conscience? You betray us? Betray Al? Me? For some people you don't even know?" Mason had raised his pistol at me. I put my hands up, as he shook his head, clicking his tongue. Before I could do anything, he pulled the trigger, sending my world plummeting into blackness.

"Wake up, Krystof!" Elias kept shaking me, as I eventually opened my eyes.

"I'm awake, I'm awake." I batted him away, as I unbuckled myself and stood up with him. "What's going on?"

"Well, we're getting ready to jump." Shuhrat said nonchalantly. I did a double take.

"I'm sorry, to what?!"

"What, never done a LALO jump before?" Timur asked, as he strapped his rifle to his chest, putting on a parachute. I was handed a radio, so I put it in my ear, before putting my helmet on.

"No?!" Guess this is what I get for sleeping. Elias handed me a parachute, which I slipped on. Having no way to fasten my VC1-Incinerator to my person, I had to resort to holding it.

"Lowering ramp now. Good luck guys." Marius said, as I walked up to the edge, white knuckle gripping my weapon.

"Get ready to jump in 5.."

"Hey Elias?" I asked, as he looked over at me.

"4.."

"Yeah?"

"3.."

"Remind me to get a fireproof strap." He laughed.

"2.."

"Just don't drop it, bruder. (Brother)"

"1.."

I flipped him off, as we all walked to the very edge.

"Go, go, go!"

Simultaneously jumping out of the aircraft, I saw the target site below, surrounded by cordons and flashing lights.

"Isn't the view beautiful from up here, товарищ? (Comrade)" Glaz asked, as I bear hugged my VC1.

"Yeah, it is. Much better when you're on the ground though." I said, through comms. Glaz and Seamus laughed, as we rapidly approached the ground.

"And.. pull your chute now." Shuhrat said, as we all pulled our parachutes, before drastically slowing down.

"Alright, I'll set up an overwatch position on the adjacent building." Glaz said, as he veered away from us. We all landed on the roof, as I dropped down to the first floor roof by the entrance.

"Alright, send out drones, guys." Elias said, as we all deployed our surveillance tools. I went prime by a small little hole in the floor, as I sent my drone in there.

"Alright, the second floor bedroom has six, adjacent rooms hold seven." I reported, as I maneuvered the drone to the garage. "Garage seems clear.. wait, no. One on the railing and one in the corner."
