~Chapter 3~

"Marcus, Jas. We're covering your position from the sky." Rita declares over the com.

"Still nothing. We're gonna keep moving. Let's go lil B." Marcus replies motioning for Jasmine to keep moving. But he looks behind himself to see she's no where to be found. He looks around the surrounding area to try and spot her, but it seems she's disappeared without a trace.

"Motherfuc-"

"She definitely doesn't know the plan." Rafe sighs watching her silhouette disappear into the building.

....

Jasmine quietly makes her way into the palace. On her way in she notices a man crouched over a balcony, gun poised below at Mike. She flips her pocket knife around in her hand and slits his throat. Quietly disposing of the man. She then begins hastily setting up her sniper rifle. Watching as Mike and Isabel discuss Armando, where she's shocked to find out that Armando is Mike's son.

"What a plot twist. Holy shitttt" she mumbles.

Then a shrill whistle echos through the vestibule. And Marcus emerges from a corridor at gun point, by none other than Armando. Jasmine and Mike sigh. It's always Marcus.

"My bad Uncle Marcus. I didn't know you needed my supervision" she laughs over their com. Preparing to do what she does best.

Jasmine's hands clench on her gun as she lines up the gun's cross heir with Isabel's heart. All the while Marcus begins to ramble.

"No Mike. It's the lack of communication that made this all go to shit." Marcus exclaims nervously, as Armando shoves the gun barrel into Marcus' head. Jasmine squints, hovering her finger over the trigger.

"He has to tell you something," Marcus starts urgently. Just as Jasmine starts her countdown.

"Three. Two. On-" Jasmine mumbles but as she pulls the trigger an explosion goes off sending the 4 people on the first floor flying. Jasmine quickly rises out of position looking for Isabel's body. Only to see Armando ushering her up a set of stairs, but she sees the older woman clutching her outer shoulder.

"Damn itttt," Jasmine groans noticing her shot didn't injure the witch fatally.

"Mike! Marcus, get up! They're headed for the top." Jasmine yells catching the 2 men's attention. She then opens fire on the men on her same floor, spraying them with a quick array of bullets. The rest of AMMO shows up and a full blown shoot out commences.

A man comes swinging behind Jasmine catching her hair in his fist, and she's yanked to the ground but the acts quickly. Cutting the tendon behind the man's knee. He drops to the ground with a yelp, while she quickly brings her knife into his abdomen and twists. He falls back and Jasmine goes back to shooting.

Kelly lets out a mangled scream as a bullet pierces through her knee. Rita is quick to let out cover fire and tries to drag her out of the open.

"Not on my fucking watch." Jasmine growls running towards the man on her floor, though Dorn beats her to it. As the floor under the man gives way. She clicks her tongue nodding in approval, just as a helicopter begins to lower towards the building. Where she hears Mike and Marcus yelling right above her.

"Aim at the rotor, you shoot the pilot-" Mike starts only for Marcus to shoot the pilot right in the head.

"Got 'em!" Marcus cheers. Letting out a victorious laugh. Then suddenly the helicopter begins descending rapidly. As the rotor blades are still spinning at a rapid pace. Going right through the glass ceiling and towards the team.

"Oh shitttt" Jasmine and Marcus curse. Along with everyone else who drops to the ground the avoid getting sliced to pieces. The chopper hits the ground with a massive explosion, sending everything up into flames. Including Jasmine's only exit. She feels the concrete beneath her start to give way.

"I'm killing this witch myself. Fuck." Jasmine snarls jumping on the banister railing. She quickly jumps and grabs the railing above her just as the floor she was just on gives way. She lets out a relieved breath as she begins trying to pull herself up to the next floor.

"I got you lil B, gimme your hand." Mike tells her. Extending a hand to pull her up. She accepts and is quickly pulled up to the next level with Marcus and Mike. She nods to them and loads a new clip into her gun, signaling she's ready. But the trio is interrupted by Rita telling them they needed to get out before the building blew up.

"Fuck that we're killing this bitch today." Jasmine says going deeper into the palace.

"You're officially my favorite person Briggs" Mike replied, following her immediately. Followed by Marcus who under his breath cries, "y'all people are some fucked up motherfuckas." Then suddenly Isabel emerges with her hands up from behind a curtain. The thunder and rain only adding to the atmosphere.

"On your knees Isabel. Get down!" Mike yells, aiming his gun at her.

"Yeah you stank ass witch." Jasmine adds. But suddenly Mike is grabbed through the floor and pulled down to the next floor. Jasmine groans as a piece of the floor bellow her gives way, as she hangs on to the floor. Trying not to drop to the next level.

"Mike! Jas!" Marcus yells looking at the two, Jasmine trying to pull herself up and Mike fighting Armando. Though he's quickly made aware of Isabel when she begins cutting him with a shard of glass. Marcus can only yell out as she continuously cuts him with the shard, giving him now room for recovery.

"Don't fucking touch him." Jasmine yells whipping Isabel across the face with her gun. Isabel shrinks back with a groan. Though Jasmine hits her again this time with her fist. Hitting Isabel square in the jaw. Marcus quickly picks up where she left off, slamming Isabel's head into a nearby bed post. Seemingly knocking her out.

"Let that be a lesson to yo witch ass," Marcus grimaces, kicking her for good measure.

"Good shit kid, let's finish this." Marcus mutters patting Jasmines head.
