Little time spent Guardian Investigative Service volume 2

Chapter 7

    They pulled into a parking lot of an old mall and set up for the raid.
"Remember guys this is Kato Camden, he and his crew are armed to the teeth, trigger happy and very dangerous," Gibson told them.
"How do we do this?", Special Agent Matt guiden asked.
  Gibson glared at him for a moment;"bust in and watch each other's six, this could get bloody," Gibson replied cocking his pistol.
They spread out and got ready.
Gibson and his crew stepped back and let the rammer hit the door.
"Federal agents, freeze!", Gibson shouted as they entered.
   Guns began to blaze as they fanned out all over the place.
Matt and his people circle around behind them.
Matt watched as three men dashed through a door and down a loading dock hallway.
The men turned around to fire at Matt and saw that he'd disappeared from behind them.
"Feddy where you at?!", The leader shouted.
    Matt started taking the crew out one by one.
Finally the leader looked around for him.
"Guiden, bro come on out you son of a bitch!", He growled.
Matt continued to stayed hidden.
   Matt jumped the man to the ground as he tried to pass by him.
The man reached for his gun, Matt kicked it away.
Man got up and charged Matt into the wall behind him.
The man head butted Matt, throwing him to the ground.
   The man tried to kick Matt while he was down.
Matt rolled out of the way, kicking him in the hamstring.
The man growled in agony, falling to his knees.
Matt quickly cuffed him and helped him to his feet.
   Special Agents Brendan Heath and Trevon Bigbear looked at Matt as he walked out into the main area.
"Good God man, what happened to you?", Bigbear asked with a grin.
"Difference in opinion, he fought the law and the law won," Matt replied handing the man over to them.
   An explosion came from the west side of the mall.
Matt and six others drew their weapons and dashed towards the explosion.
They came up on a horrific scene, bodies of wounded and dying people laid on the ground around them.
  Matt found Harrison crouched behind a fountain his weapon still sheathed.
"You alright, what the heck happened, where's Gibson?", Matt asked.
"Damn security guy lobbed a grenade at us, Gibson and Angel darted after the guy," Harrison coughed pointing towards an old candy store.
   Matt helped Harrison up and they headed over to help them.
Matt headed for the back of the store and waited for a sign.
Harrison made the sign over to the barrel in the middle of the room.
   Matt nodded and crept over towards the barrel and kicked it over.
The man slid out of the barrel and ran into Harrison, knocking him to the ground.
Harrison grabbed his ankle and through the man to the ground and turned him over onto his stomach.
Harrison was cuffing the man as Gibson and the others walked up.
"This is man who lobbed the bobber at us," Harrison smirked.
"Killing federal agents, that's a death penalty offense," Gibson told him.
The man spat upon Gibson's shoe, smirking cockily.
   They walked out into the main area, looking around the place.
Matt shook his head;"I haven't seen anything like this since Iraq," he said.
"At least there were no civilians, no bystanders," Jake said.
"At least," Gibson agreed.
Gibson glared at Jake;"how many of us were hurt?", He asked.
"Four wounded, two dead," Jake returned.
     They finished up and headed back to headquarters.
Gibson called Matt into his office as they walked in.
"Are you okay, you seemed shaken back there," Gibson said as they sat down.
"Yeah, I haven't seen anything like that in a long time," Matt responded.
"This is a dirty job, are you sure you can hack it?", Gibson asked.
"Yes sir, I can," Matt replied.
"Don't let me see you like that again," Gibson replied.
   Gibson stepped outside and lit up.
Angel stepped out with him.
"I heard that crap with Matt, what was that about?", She asked.
"Old war wounds," Gibson replied letting out a drag.
"We all have them, just don't gripe people because of them," Angel replied.
"Okay but, I am sending him down for a physique eval," Gibson replied letting out a drag.
"He's already passed two weeks ago, let it go," she responded letting out a drag.
   They finished up and headed back in.
Gordon was sitting in Angel's office as they walked in.
"Grider just called," Gordon told them as they walked in and sat down.
"And," Gibson replied.
"Sholley's sending a strike crew to hit a Mallard warehouse tonight," Gordon replied.
"Which one?", Gibson asked.
"Whispering pines," Gordon answered.
      Gibson and Angel eased back.
"You mean that old mental health complex in Norman, how long have they been operating out of there?", Gibson asked.
"Mallard's been operating out of there for the past four years, it's been a perfect place for it," Gordon replied.
"Hasn't anyone tried to take it down?", Angel cut in.
"Couldn't get enough evidence," Gordon replied.
"So maybe we should hit them, take them before Sholley can," Gibson replied.
"That's gonna maybe blow Grider's cover, is it really worth the risk?", Angel asked.
"It's either we hit them, or they hit them," Gibson replied.
    Gibson walked into the coffee room and poured himself a cup.
Angel followed him in and did the same.
"Is this really worth getting a good man killed over?", She asked taking a sip.
"We've all gotta take risks," Gibson replied.
"This is true but, we're getting closer to getting Sholley," Angel said taking a sip.
   They finished up and headed into the main room to talk with everyone.
Gibson told them about Whispering pines.
"That's a huge place, which building?", Jake asked from the back.
"From what Grider says, it's the three main buildings," Angel replied.
"What do we do about Grider?", Shana asked.
"We've told him to pull back until we can get him out later," Gibson replied.
   A young man walked into the place after the meeting was over.
"I'm Special Agent Gentry with the DEA, we can't allow you to hit that place tonight," he told Gibson.
"We've got a man on the inside, we can't let you hit them," Gibson replied.
Gentry assure Gibson that no harm would come to their guy, as long as they could hit the place.
Gibson relented and told him to hold off if they'd hold off.
Gentry agreed and told him to be careful.
   Gibson told Gordon to contact Grider and tell him to make sure that nobody knows about him.
Grider agreed.
They finished up and headed out to the place to keep an eye on things.
