Brandy Creek (Book Two Completed)

Part 25

Anthony cuts a hole in the fence right behind the warehouse, once its open we go one by one through it to press up against the back of the building. I pull my gun around in the strap, keeping it aimed away from my team but high enough to snap up to a target in a split second. Everyone in our team had suppressors on, team A and B would add theirs once they had drawn enough people out. I follow right behind Nattie, she walks with her legs bent, making her a teeny tiny target, then me -the larger target- behind her.

Following close behind her, also semi crouched I try to keep my eyes out to the sides rather then straight in front of me. Her ass is a distraction I couldn't afford in this moment. She rounds the corner, and we head to the front of the building in the shadows. I could hear a generator inside the large warehouse, people talking, people freaking out. Nattie holds up her hand and slides down the side of the building before peaking around the corner.

When she stands she moves around the corner, hugging it. I follow and she immediately turns into the first door. I don't even get to process anything before I hear an unfamiliar mans voice say. "Who the fu.."

His sentence is cut short by way of a long black throwing knife sticking out of his neck. The rest of our team files in, Nattie goes and grabs her knife from the man. This looked to be a front office to the warehouse, the guy had a large gun and seemed to be the guard for this area. There's a double door that leads out into the back area, luckily the building only seemed to be one floor. Nattie motions and I step up beside her. Both crouched with guns ready, we open the double doors enough to just sneak in. My eyes jump from angle to angle as quick as my brain could process the room and I pop off a shot at the nearest target, one more shot follows and then another from behind. The silencers are doing some work, but with the generator noises coming from inside the room, I had some hope they would be covered up for the most part.

The back room is large, with big pieces of machinery breaking up the space. They had to be manufacturing something big, car parts maybe? I couldn't tell, I also had no experience in factory's. Two more shots go off and two more assholes in vests drop to the ground. There isn't any more noise besides the generator, no more yelling from at least the building we are in.

"Go as pairs, clear the building and bring body's back to this corner in a pile." Nattie instructs, I stick to her side as the others split off. One group heads left, one right and Nattie and I move straight to the opposite corner of the building. There are garage doors to our right, wide and open. We have to walk past them quickly, not wanting to close them and raise suspicion. They may leave them open all day, having them closed would make people pause more then people running around in all black with guns. Though dragging bodies around is risky, I get why she wanted them out of the middle of the floor.

We all gather at the doors, Nattie crouches down again and takes a peak around. I follow her and look out onto the street. There isn't much light, a few lanterns on posts here and there. It seems most people have moved somewhere else but there are a few guys at the gate near the warehouse. They are facing out onto the road, then there are two houses across the street from the warehouse, no lights on that I can see.

Moving back to hide inside I look to Natalie. She points to Anthony and Mato, points to where the guards stand then makes a cutting motion over her neck, then she points to the houses across the street. She motions for the rest of us and then points to the houses across the street. After meeting everyone's eyes to acknowledge they understood she looks back out to the street. Holding up a hand with three fingers she puts down one finger, another, then the last. Mato and Anthony run out first, then the last of us. They run up behind the two guards, knives out and drop them quickly. I grab the feet of the one Anthony took out and help him haul the body to the two houses. We dump the body's near the bushes next to one of the houses in a dark spot.
