Through the scope, the sniper aimed to the center of the room's window in the building across the street. He pulled the trigger and a small round device wrapped in a gel-like liquid was shot at mid-speed thanks to a compressed air gun, and stuck to the window. The observer opened another communications channel.
- Attention Bravo 1, this is Alpha 2. The candy is in position, get ready for the fireworks. We've got 90 seconds, in and out. Remeber: fast, effective, no traces.
- This is Bravo 1, roger that, moving into position. Preparing the gear. Over and out.
Bravo 3 was in position at the electrical room of the hotel. His mission was to cut the power completely to hide the movement of his teammates Bravo 1 and 2, who were conveniently positioned in the service stairs of the fourth floor, where there were no security cameras.
A violent explosion blew up the window and a huge smoke screen filled the room. Immediately after, a blackout took over the hotel. Leo, who had not fallen asleep yet, jumped out of the bed, taking the sonic gun prototype with his right hand and pulling Jenny to the closet on the left wall of the room with his left hand. She had let out a small scream because of the explosion, and suffered a few cuts from the window. Leo took the Colt and handed it over to her.
- Honey, you know how to use one of these. If you see anyone, take the shot.
- But... But Leo! What the hell is going on?
- Shhh, now stay down and try not to breathe the smoke. It's probably some sleeping gas to take us out. If anyone crosses that door, shoot.
- But what if its you on the door?
- I'll let you know, honey.
To the left of the hallway, the service door was opened and two men with urban camo uniforms and dart rifles came in, heading towards the room.
- Alpha 2, this is Bravo 1. We're Oscar Mike, distance to target 5 meters. Low visibility, there's gas leaking out from the room.
- Roger that Bravo 1, the door is probably open. 78 seconds to go, tread carefully.
- Hold on, Alpha, I see movement. Damn it's the targ... Ahhhhhgh!!! - a huge scream almost deafened the rest of the team.
Leo came out of the room in a flash, covering his mouth and eyes to avoid contact with the gas. Trusting completely in his instincts and hearing, he had taken a shot with the sonic gun towards the hallway where the steps came from, neutralizing the first operative with a sonic wave that knocked him down and rendered him unconscious.
- Alpha 2, this is Bravo 2. Target's using a gun I can't recognize - said the man, checking Bravo 1's vitals - Bravo 1 is breathing, but down.
- We must complete the mission Bravo 2, Neutralize the target at once!
The operative walked slowly, aiming his rifle to the hallway in front of him. He couldn't see where the operative had gone to, but he knew the target was somewhere in the hallway. Leo had taken cover in one of the hallways decoration nooks. He took a deep breath and turned to the hallway again, aiming his gun. He could not see a thing, but he trusted that his next shot would hit whoever was there. The operative, seeing Leo turning around, shot a dart in his chest. Leo felt his muscles stiffening, and shot to the hallway. The operative dropped down to the ground the moment Leo used his gun, and shot two more darts, hitting the neck and abs. Leo fell to the ground unconsious thanks to the tranquilizing darts. The operative stood up and continued to the room.
- Attention Bravo 2, there are no signs of the woman. There are mixed heat signals, but the thermal view suggests she's on the left of the entrance.
