Assassin's Creed: Winter's Falling

Chapter 10

"OKAY GUYS! LISTEN UP!" Andy yelled over the sounds of the plane's engine.

The team had awoken that morning filled with determination. They knew this was their last chance to attack the Abstergo building in Montreal. After a week of constant attacks from the Assassins, the Templars had tripled their security force on the building. If the team failed now, it was game over.

Andy had selected his team carefully. Ann could hack the system if the information was on a computer. Lightning and Sol had, on multiple occasions, proven themselves great in a fight. And then there was Andy himself, because he would never let his team take this great of a risk without him. They had all boarded the plane without hesitation. Nerida agreed to lead the backup team, the ones in charge of helping the attack team escape.

"We believe the information we are looking for is in room 630 on the 60th floor." Andy explained. "The plan is simple. Our friends will fly us over the building. At the right spot, we will skydive out of the plane and break into the room through the window. We find the info, and then get out. I will signal Nerida at that point, and we will have to fight our way to safety. GOT IT?"

"Got it," nodded Lightning.

"Roger," Ann yelled.

"Alright," Sol shrugged.

"Alrighty," Nerida responded cheerfully though their earpieces.

"Okay, let's get ready," Any started handing out packs. "EVERYONE PUT ON A PARACHUTE!"

The girls each took a pack and strapped it firmly to their backs. None of them where master skydivers, but after the bit of training they had done the night before, they all felt they could make it. They also had little choice in the matter. The 60th floor was the most secure part of the building. The window was the only access point.

"READY," Sol called out once everyone had their packs on securely.

"Okay, Rodger," Andy called to the pilot. "On your signal we jump. Remember what we talked about yesterday: jump like a leap of faith, and pull the cord after five seconds."

"Understood," Ann nodded.

"Great," Andy opened the plane door. "Are all of you ready?"

"Ready," they chorused.

They watched as the Abstergo building came into sight far below them. The plane circled the building. Room 630 came into view just as Rodger gave them the green light.

"LET'S DO THIS," Andy shouted then jumped from the plane. "GERONIMOOOOOOOOOO!"

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Sol jumped after him.

"Weeeeeee..." Lightning's lack of excitement, or any other emotion, could be clearly heard in her voice.

"FOR NARNIA!" Ann screeched as she followed the others.

Andy pulled his parachute cord and glided towards to window. He swiftly kicked the window in. He detached his parachute before flying through the window. Sol and Lightning followed after him; their parachutes left to continue their flight to the ground bellow.

Their presence in the empty office room instantly tripped the alarm. Turrets hidden in the roof panels of the room revealed themselves. Andy's eyes grew wide as he noticed them.
