War Zone

Chapter 5

We walked out of our room with our new cloths on, and bags full of our belongings in our hands. "We are using our real names, they will work just fine they are normal and not suspicious. Does anyone need extra time to practice your part, because now is the time," Nick asked as we walked down the hall making sure noone would hear him cautiously peeking around corners and such.

"No, sir," we said cautiously following him, bags swung over our soldiers.

"Ok, we will get our earpieces when we leave and get more details on the mission, while we are on the buss to get there we will learn how to use them. Any questions that I can answer before leave?" Nick said as we made our way down the corridor to the office of the man who told us that we were going on a special mission.

"No," we all said.

"Ok hands in," Nick said holding out his hand. We all stard at him awkwardly for a second then put our hands on top of his as he was urging us to. And lifted them up saying "Let's go!" in a quiet voice. We stopped right in front of his office door. Gave each other reassuring and worried looks, then knocked.

"Come in soldiers!" the man said from inside the room. We walked into a room like the ones you see in movies. There was a desk with nothing on it but a pair of legs attached to a body leaning in a chair, it's face hiding behind a newspaper. A plant in the corner, a bookcase full of books on history philosophy, and law. The half closed blinds covering the window behind the desk, shown strips of light shining down on the desk. "Well come on in! Don't just leave the door open!" he said. turning his newspaper to read the next page, we caught a glimpse of his face when he did that. We walked in and just stood there for moment before finally put the newspaper down and took his legs down off of the desk. He put his arms on the table folding his hands together all business like. "So you will use these earpieces," he slid a small box over to use with its lid off. "To communicate with us anything of importance, like details on the weapons or if you get a within ear shot and happen to hear any of their plans then you will use these to tell us," we each took an earpiece from the box and fitted on our ears. "And as for more details on the mission, I am afraid that I have already told you everything that we know, this is why you are going in; to get more details. Are you ready for this mission soldiers?" he said.

"Yes sir!" we all said saluting.

"ok , we can test the EP's (earpieces) and give you directions which will work out perfectly, shooting down two helicopters with one bazuca. If you were wondering how we can communicate with you and tell you where you are going it's because there is a G.P.S. in your EP. ok you ready?" he asked as he put an EP in his own ear.

"Yes sir," we said saluting.... Again. After fumbling with our EPs a little bit we turned them on. We stepped out of the room after a good luck from the man, we figured out that his name was commander Grant.

"Ok go straight, then after the first corridor make a right," we followed the instructions.

"Ok now keep going straight until you reach the MH (main hall)" he said.

"Now go to the desk by the ME (main entrance) slide your card by the little white box on the side of the desk, it has the chip to exit and enter this building and the one where you are going," The instructions were very clear that the gave us.

"Once you are done doing that go through the ME and find a truck, show your cards to the driver and he will give you a lift to a bus stop and a map that will show which busses to take. Follow the fastest route to your destination. Once you arrive Nick you connect to me and describe in detail what you see or saw, just don't get caught. Ask to go to the bathroom or something you can figure it out."

"Yes sir," Nick said right after he slid his card around his neck against the box.

"Ok you all ready for this? Our first SM," Nick asked once we got on a truck.

"Sure am captain," I said as the others nodded their heads.
