War Zone

Chapter 7

"I have a plan. I can go and sneak up behind the man up there threaten him to do the shutting down code instead of the startup code. Haven't they already started the startup code, so we would need to start the shutdown code ASAP," Ellie suggested.

"It's worth a try. I don't have anything better in mind," Said Mason.

"Ok, just tell us what you need us to do Ellie, we are here for you," I said as Luke Nick and Bree joined us. They nodded in agreement.

"You lead us this time," Nick said. Ellie nodded at us with a smile and jumped off to the balcony so fast I would be surprised if anyone would see her, let alone her target.

"Wait, Ellie who is she?" Mason asked.

"Oh, that is her real name. She must have forgotten to tell you that, but yeah her name is Ellie, not Liz," I explained to him. Before we knew it Ellie was already behind her target up on the balcony holding knives to his throat. Beforehand Ellie had turned on her EP so that we could hear what he was saying.

"Start giving orders to press the code for shutting this thing down. Or else I will kill you and destroy this weapon, it would be gone for good and you would not be able to give orders to the code would be messed up regardless. Now if you value your life do what I say," Ellie said in a state that was completely blocked of from her emotions, it was dark state. Even though I had regained my memories, it still came as a shock to see her like this again.

"Wait, what is she doing, how did she get up there that fast? I did not even tell her where the staircase was," Mason said surprised.

"What did you not believe it when she that she would kill you if you betrayed us? She is a trained assassin.she kills people like this to many time to count. She jumped up to the balcony using the beams attached to the ceiling," I said.

"Wait, are all of you assassins?" Mason asked.

"No, I am a hacker, bree here is a healer, Nick is the team leader he has training in all of these subjects, and luke is well he is the muscle of us, and karate martial arts person," I said.

"Wait, so you like hack the pentagon?" Mason asked bewildered.

"Hm, that's a piece of cake. I do it every morning for an exercise. That does not mean that i disclose any of the things I happen to glimpse there. It is still classified. And you know what, we are all the lowest rank," I said with a smirk.

"Holy crap. Please don't kill me!" Mason said freaked out.

"Don't worry you are not our target. Unless you betray us that is," I said warning him. We were so busy wrapped up in our conversation that we forgot to listen to EP and see what was going on.

"Sam! You need to listen to us and Mason now. This man has agreed to go along with us in exchange for his life. Now hack into it listen to Mason and shut this thing down!" Ellie said.

"Right! Come on Mason," I said. I walked up to the weapon and started looking for the control panel. "Hey Mason do you know where the control panel on this thing is?" I asked.

"...It's inside of it," He said.

"Luke did you hear that?" i asked him.

"Sure did," He said running up to us. He smashed down on the pyramid with amazing force wearing protective gloves that he had just slipped on. He cracked it open steam seemed to pour out of it.

I immediately spotted the mother board ran to it dragin Mason by his collar. " thanks Luke," I said. "OK Mason what is the code. I can access all of the buttons from here, just tell me!" I urged him. He pulled something out of his pocket, and unfolded it. It was a piece of paper with numbers and letters on it. He started reading it, and I typed it in. slowly the lines of blue started turning purple and then red. The room became dark and filled up with red light. Finally after about five minutes of non stop typing I finished.

Looks like we have successfully completed this mission, I guess we are scouts now. "Good job scouts, you have successfully completed this mission," Commander Grant announced over the EP's. I was so shocked I could not even move, everyone else was hugging each other for joy, I was trapped in the middle of it.
