Chris POV
The mission went a little different than planned. Several things didn't go according to plan.
Deacon, Tan and I we were sweeping a part of this warehouse where we were told that there was a large chance that this is where a suspect was hiding.
What we didn't know is that there would be explosives.
"Oh. Nobody move." Deacon said "Explosive devices."
Tan and I froze in our positions on the left and right of Deacon. I realize however I am ahead of them both by a few feet.
If things go wrong. I'm the closest to the blast. And that's a moment that we will have to cross when it gets to it
"We have to get help." I said "I count atleast three. Who knows what they're packing. I can't see a timer."
"Tan Radio Hondo. See if you get anything. As quiet at possible." Deacon said
"Twenty six David to twenty David. We have a situation here." Tan said as quiet as he could to the radio
"Whats that twenty six David?" Hondo asked
"Hondo there's bombs at our location." Tan said "Chris is the closest to the bombs. She said there's three of them. She can't see a timer."
"Were on our way!" Hondo said
"Deac what do we do?" Tan asked
"Hondo how far out are you?" Deac asked
"Three minutes out." Hondo said
"Alright. I have an idea. My only concern is your position Chris. You're closer to the bombs and furthest from the doors." Deacon said "So. Chris go back as slow as you can till you get closer to me. I'll guide you. Step backwards. Don't turn around."
I nod and start stepping back.
One
Two
Three
Four
Five
And we kept going till I was mere steps away from being back with them.
"Stop." Tan said interrupting Deacon and my next step back "Do you hear that?"
It sounded like a ticking sound. It was slow. Like slower than a clock tick.
"That's not good. Somethings happening with the bombs." I said
"Okay. That changes the plan. Okay. Run for it?" Deacon said
Tan and I both say nothing and just look at Deacon
"We don't know how much time we have. I'm open to suggestions." Deacon said
"Count of three?" Tan suggested
"Works for me." I said
"Alright. Turn around. Slowly." Deacon said
We followed his instructions.
"One. Two." Deacon counted off. Each of us looked at each other like this is either gonna work out great or work out really bad.
"Three!" Deacon said
We all took off like bats out of hell and ran for the open doors.
The closer we got to the doors. The faster the beeping went and then as we crossed the threshold to the outside
BOOM!!
the building went up in a fire ball.
The blast knocked me off my feet. It didn't knock me out because of the helmet.
After the explosion died down. I could hear Deacon and Tan get closer to me
"You good?" Tan asked
"Yeah. Help me up." I said
Deacon offered me a hand and I got up.
Right then Hondo and the rest of the team arrived.
"You guys good?" Luca asks hopping out of Betty
"Think so." I said "I got knocked off my feet by the explosion. But I'm fine."
"Yeah. We're good." Deac said
"Man. I wish I could have been here for that." Street mumbled to himself
"If you would have been there then this would be a different conversation man." Hondo said laughing shaking his head at him
"That's true." Luca said to Street
"We did manage to Save Hondo and Deac the paperwork." I said laughing
"Yeah man you would have made them spend hours filling out crap forms about you." Luca said laughing
"You guys are getting looked over at HQ just to be safe." Hondo said "If all is clear. Then Yes. We will have been spared."
"Let's get out of here." Deacon said "While we're all in one peice."
