Ghost Rauders

                    The Brotherhood

The Blacked out Mercedes sprinter slowed to a creep, the driver shut off all of the lights and pulled off of the road, after crawling a few hundred feet the van came to a stop.  Nothing was in the immediate vicinity but trees and foliage for miles surrounded by darkness.   Every passing second seemed like an eternity, the team anxiously waited inside the transport vehicle.  The anticipation and rush of the mission made Ray’s (Akio Steele) senses peak to the fullest extent humanly possible.  The aroma of freshly brewed coffee crept through the partially opened windows from the coffee house a few miles down the road triggering his taste buds, he caught himself begin to salivate as if he could actually taste it.  He could feel that the grip on his pistol seemed larger than it actually was in the palm of his hand to the tips of his fingers.  It was so deafly quiet the guys could probably hear their own heartbeats.  The adrenaline level in the van was to the max now Akio could see it all over their faces and body languages, he himself felt like a caged tiger ready to be released on his unsuspecting prey.  He was trying his best to keep his breathing at a controlled level not to boost his heart-rate any higher than his current bpm's. It took great effort to keep his head clear and his mind sharp to lead his team to the best of his abilities after that anonymous message he received earlier that made him think long and hard about moving forward with the raid. Ray ordered a equipment check and within seconds they gave the thumbs up.  lowered his head and motioned for the rest of them to do the same and he led them in the Rauder prayer, in turn they all followed in chorus,
"Ghost's of our past keep us safe, lead our path through the nights and days, let us stand together in the shadows for the Brotherhood we pray!" Immediately Ray raised his hands signaling the countdown.
"Ten"
....He exhaled...
”nine”
He gave his squad the nod, then...
"eight"
Ray set his watch...
"seven"
“six”
”five......four...three....two....one.....GO!-GO!-GO!-GO!-GO”!

Two by two by one they exited and moved in-sync, Ray led his team to the warehouse that was a front for a secret stash-house owned by a wanna-be mobster and shady politician that used his power to shake down small business owners.  In formation they swiftly moved under the cover of darkness like wolves on a late night hunt.  It was so quiet that every footstep seemed louder than life.  When they approached the building everything looked as it was described in the briefing.  The two guards at the entrance was quickly taken out by M-J (Gary) and 8-ball (Mark) using the very effective tranquilizer darts in-which the team became instant fans of.  The second the poor schmucks hit the ground  Ray crouched low and began to jog pumping his finger to the sky giving the signal that he was going to the roof to his entry point. He pulled out his rappel gun from his backpack, aimed to the opposite corner of the roofs exit door and fired.  On the first yank attempt it latched on and he quickly made his way up.  Shockingly the rooftop was abandoned, "these guys can't be professionals or they can't be getting paid very well at all, there has to be public schools with tighter security" he mumbled through a chuckle.  He pressed  his goggles to see a position check and was impressed as he watched K-G (Benny) & ZO (Bruce)  perform a quiet breach of the back door which was manned by two armed guards.  As soon as they gave the all Clear the roof door swung open, he quickly cancelled the optic shadow feature on his goggles and was taken that only one guard came out.  "This shit is too fucking easy!"  Ray almost said out loud but shook it off and mechanically raised his modified 9mm tranquilizer gun and with one shot he sent the unsuspecting guard into La-La Land.  Slowly he pulled the so called guard into the shadows that he previously occupied then cuffed him to a near-by drainpipe, taped his mouth for extra precaution before he made his way into the building...



Working as an unstoppable Tandem 8-BALL (Mark) and M-J (Gary) started through the Front entrance cautiously moving side by side, bringing an unwanted slumber to the patrolling security personnel, One bye one hiding them inside empty cargo containers and eighty-five gallon drums from anyone that may backtrack through that area.  As they advanced, Gary led the way with his eye fixed through the sight of his gun scanning the area from left to right as they swiftly made their way to the main stairway. They contacted a lone guard perched at the top of the stairs but were unable to get a clear shot at him so they fell back and found a spot and huddled to come up with a plan to get the guy to make himself a better target.  8-BALL say's eagerly,
"I’m gonna try to lure him out with a dog's growl while you hide behind a skid to ambush him while he looks for the K-9".
"Do you honestly think that'll work?" M-J questioned.
"I'm open to any other suggestions" 8-BALL replied sharply,
M-J shrugs his shoulders in lack of a good response or better plan then hurries behind one of many skids containing boxes of miscellaneous goods and readies himself for the ambush by loading a round into the chamber.  He squatted low and kept his right leg ready to pivot around the skid so he wouldn't expose his torso during his assault.  M-J stood there statuesque being as quiet and patient as possible.  "Grrrr" went 8-BALL as he backed away from the steps "Grrrr" this time even louder as he got further away from earshot of the guard hoping he had his attention and ultimately finding a hiding place of his own "Grrrr" this time more emphatically and on que the guard headed down the stairs with pistol raised at this point the plan was working but M-J hoped he doesn't use his radio to alert his comrades of the suspicious activity.  This time 8-BALL let out a light whimper which made the guard more eager to actually find out what was wrong with the animal.  As he crept closer M-J leaned around the skid and fired one round into the ass of the guard and M-J returned to his hiding position while the guard tried to figure what just happened and before he could reach around to feel the object protruding out of his butt he dropped to the floor, 8-BALL quickly ran over to the guard dragging him out of sight.  After the body was hidden the two made their way to the second level of the building in a hurry.     



The day started as normal as any other day in the Akio's household… He began his day by seeing the boys off to school, then making him and Desiree a quick breakfast in which he found himself eating alone.  He sat at the breakfast table scouring down two sunny side up eggs and a bagel with orange juice while reading the usual crap in the newspaper, Slightly disappointed with what he had read he dropped the paper and continued  with his morning by getting his ten minute workout on. He wondered what was keeping her from breakfast but after hearing the water as he got closer he decided to sneak up on her in the shower for a quickie!  She slightly turns her head around pretending she doesn't hear him then grins devilishly as she squeezes the soap out of her loofah down her breasts making a mesmerizing river flow all the way down to her vagina. She then reaches down to her clitoris and cups the soap and starts to caress it in a very seductive way working the lather back up to her breasts massaging them very gently, she turns around with loofah in hand smiling back at Akio who is trying to keep his eye's on her all the while taking his clothes off trying not to lose his balance in the process. She lathers up her loofah and squeezes it down her back working it down so seductively reaching around and grabbing her ass and caressing it spreading her cheeks finally she motioned for Akio to join her and she put her leg up on the side of the shower wall  and he grinned almost child-like and within no time he was inside of her  licking and sucking the water from her breasts and stroking they both ultimately came together they slid down the wall exasperated and looked over to the clock on the wall and Akio chuckled, “Well it was supposed to be a quickie Akio sits on the side of the shower trying to restore the strength in his legs and get his breathing back to some sort of normalcy.   “I had to get her started" Akio thought to himself.   It's your fault we're running late” she mumbled.  The look on Akio's face said it was well worth it!.

  After he was scolded for listening to his penis they left the house together.  They left in their  separate vehicles, Desiree in her royal blue Acura NSX and Akio in his silver Audi R8.  Desiree followed him to the end of their street where Akio made a left onto Minnesota Blvd and she kept straight. Akio called the office immediately to tell Kenya he was en-route after two rings she picked up;
"Hey ‘boss man' how can i help you this morning?"
"please have any leads or material receipts ready on my desk when i get there".
”As you wish” she replied,
  and they ended the call simultaneously.  Akio spent the next 6 miles keeping his driving skills sharpened by pretending that he was being followed by a particular colored vehicle and timing himself to put distance between himself and the other vehicle, which was by far one of his favorite personal games that he promised himself to share with his son's in the future.  Akio activates his automated Voice recognition in the car and prompted the call to be made to codename "widower" after a couple rings the line is answered,  "Yes" came through the speakers in surround sound,
  "It's me" Akio replies,
"is everything a go?"
and the voice replies;
"sure all the particulars have been faxed ahead and as of last night your intel specialist have sent confirmation that the information i sent is in good standing".
"Ok sir i'll be getting back to you at the conclusion of the Job and again thanks for your business", and they both hung up.  



When Akio finally reached the office, Kenya was at her desk looking as stunning as ever with her rose printed sundress that her voluptuous 157 pound 5'0" frame filled out in the right places with her very pleasant happy to be here look on her honey brown  face, which is the main reasons that the "All-Star Team" (Ghost-Rauders) enter with a boyish smile on their face.  Akio nods, then shoots Kenya a grin then heads down the hall towards his office and all of the sudden, Blam!  Startling him from the dining area, he watched a chair flip and tumble across the floor and as he stepped inside, Gary (MJ) & mark (8-ball) was about to go after each-other until Akio slammed the door shut as he entered.  Since the door had their attention he asked calmly,
“what's going on?”
As expected, they both started to emphatically explain, so Ray pointed to Gary and mark reluctantly stood down.  Gary started, "Mark doesn't think I’m good enough to be in this Faction".
  "Why?"
Akio asks And the Athletic  6'3" framed  Mark replies, "I didn't say not good enough I said "physically adequate" to be effective in close combat, maybe I’m the one with the complex but to me I think 5'7" and 130 pounds is a little light to quickly take out  a target".
  "Fuck You"! Gary screamed I'll make quick work of you!"
"you wish!" Mark barked,
then Ray jumps in, "both of you need to cool out & remember we're on the same team and if you can’t trust and respect your teammates then resigning to the black-list is the only option!...What's it gonna be guy's?"
Neither man not so much as breathed heavy,
"so this is the end?"
"Yes sir!" They said in harmony,
"by the way it’s a half an hour before the final briefing so you both should be early right?" "yes sir!" they both said,
  Ray sighed, then turned & walked away...


Ray made his way down the stairway to the third story of the building from the roof as quickly and as quietly as possible.  Listening for footsteps, voices, water running or a toilet flushing, anything that'll indicate if anyone was in the vicinity and their proximity but there was nothing!  He stepped to the left side out of view from any occupants that could be inside and slowly cracked open the door that was right across from the stairs, he entered cautiously scanning from right to left closing the door behind himself.  It wasn't hard to see that the room was empty, there was not even an ashtray or cup on the lonely table that rested at the far end of the room, so he turned and left, moving-on to the next room.   "Flush"....Ray paused! focusing on where the sound was coming from. There were a trio of doors directly in front of him, a good twenty feet or so away.  Each door identical, with no signs saying restroom, janitorial, storage room or anything what-so-ever.  Ray crouched as far left as he could becoming a very small target himself with his 9mm fixed in-between the three doors to minimize his sight adjustment so whenever the person reveals their position he'll have the drop on them and it's a wrap!

"CLICK"
A door slowly opened and it was the one to the far right Ray inhaled, holding his breath as the occupant exited in full view still rubbing his hands together to dry them.  Ray squeezed off two suppressed rounds into his torso dropping him while exhaling, he listened closely to see if anyone close enough heard the muffled firing, then moving quickly to gather his body and find a good place to hide him.  Ray pulled him by his feet back into the bathroom and over to an empty stall then hand cuffed him to the toilet and taped his mouth, locked the door and climbed out of the stall.  Ray slowly exited the bathroom with caution and continued the room to room search, and came to find out that both were empty.  Ray's watch vibrated simultaneously as he thought of his time limit to clear the floor and meet up with the others, “Excellent" Ray thought to himself as he made his way downstairs with urgency, Once he reached the 2nd floor he met with ZO (Bruce)  and K-G(Benny),
"ZO go to the far corner to cover our ass while we clear the remaining rooms and get a 20 on M-J and Big Baby!"
  "I'm on it"
"Good" Ray replies, then turns and say's,
"on my six K-G".
The first door was unlocked so Ray slowly twists the knob while listening very closely and as he did so....unexpectedly Someone pulled the door open but he couldn't see them until they leaned around to see who it was they were opening the door for, Ray Being experienced enough knew they were too close for arms so he kicked the door as hard as he could making it slam into the right side of the guy's face and body, then he rushed the occupant against the file cabinet directly behind him and as he did he notices out of his peripheral one of his buddies coming to his rescue...This guy looked at-least 6 foot 4 inches and two hundred fifty plus pounds sprinting towards him with knife in hand, the only thing Ray could do is turn his mate towards him to make it as difficult as possible to reach him, the guy must have read Ray's mind because he left his feet to come over the top of his rag-doll of a co-hort and K-G sent him 2 rounds making him do a perfect pirouette to end his rescue mission.
Once they had the guy alone in the room they focused on him making this job go as smooth as possible from here on out, One head butt to the Bridge of the Doorman's nose & he was willing to tell us if he danced in the mirror to Beyoncé’s songs!
"Please don't kill me i have a family" the henchman pleads,
KG gives the guy a hard look and says,
"If you keep your word there's a good chance i just might keep mine and let you see the sun in the morning,"
"Ok Ok No prob! let's go!"
The henchman points to the door and they let him lead the way down the hallway and to a closet, Ray and KG stepped to each side of the door as the henchman opened the door and gave him a second to pull the string for the light before they followed him inside.  Ray gripped the guy by the back of his neck and whispered in the guys ear,
"If you had us come in here to add a few more minutes to your existence you'll be regretting it in your after life."
The henchman never responded he just opened the safe on the first try and handed Ray all of the contents which was at-least a quarter million in cash and a heavy folder with a whole lot of Names, addresses, business account info and proprietary deeds.  The guy turned to KG and Ray with terror in his eyes,
"See See i told you i would come through for you! and and i have something else for you guys,"
"Why are you giving us all your bosses money?" KG questioned,
"In all honesty I’m not dying for that pricks money he wouldn't die for mine! man I’m here to earn a check!"
Both guys just gave a understanding nod and he kept talking, going on and on for another ten minutes about the lower-level storage room steps, and after he gave up all the relevant information Ray says turn around and raised his pistol to his back, it was time for this character to take a nap.  Ray urgently chimes over the T-E-A Earpiece
"Ray to MJ come-in"
"Mj here! wassup?"


"Go to the storage room and..."
"the storage room has been cleared! MJ Interrupted!"
"Just listen"! Ray said trying not to get irritated by MJ's jumping to the conclusion of the conversation, Listen!...Go to the lower-level storage room and from the bottom lift the second step up to the eighth".
  "Roger that!" MJ boasted, Then started looking for something to pry the steps with "Anyone bring a pry-bar?" MJ Radioed "No sir!" replied the team all at once. MJ was peering through boxes, on shelves, searching every corner of the room checking in-between the ceiling's beams which were exposed and behold! A mutha-Fuckin Masonry hammer! MJ raced back over to the steps and got to work, turning the hammer using it like a pick over-handing it, striking the steps grunting like a mad-man!  The first step caved in with the third hit, immediately sending a couple springs air-born and exposing a pressure plate and timer that read
"15 seconds"
MJ froze and Fear sent a sub-zero chill throughout his entire body instantly! He snapped out of it almost just as fast, Pressing his T-E-A with his left hand to his right ear in a commanding tone,
"8-BALL to the cellar ASAP!"
  Trying to make progress striking step two and three while watching the timer tick to 8 seconds... As Big baby reaches the steps MJ tosses the hammer to him and starts to disarm the timer, it was almost impossible to focus on the connections to the Bomb while 8-ball was going ballistic with the hammer destroying the top portions of the steps not wasting a single second he began grabbing tightly sealed packages of diamonds & grabbing stacks of random denominations of currency and tossing them to the landing at the top of the steps.  MJ say's "I did it"
"Did what?" Big baby questioned,
hoping he meant the bomb being deactivated.  They make eye contact and 8-ball smiled because his hopes of staying alive was restored by the smile on MJ's face.  8-ball took a moment to do a package count and radioed the rest of the team," BB to Ghosts" Package secured!  Ray chimes in on the T-E-A and orders,
"Neutralize all threats in your location and move to the lower level storage area to secure these packages & ready for extraction!" One by one they all responded, "COPY"!
