Caught In The Mission

One

*Disclaimer there is violence in this first scene read your own will*

The helicopter flew across the vast rainforest, the trees resembling small bushes from the height we were at. I looked out open door feeling the wind blow through my hair, a sensation I had grown accustomed to due to my lifestyle. I unbuckled my belt walking to the open door. Below me was the Genji river, it was a large river that flowed through the jungle of Hugandi Rainforest. There was my mark. It was simple, jump from the helicopter, land in the river, swim to shore and find their hide out. No matter how many times I had done these helicopter jumps I still felt butterflies in my stomach. Even spies get anxious every now and then.

"Were passing the waterfall." Pete my pilot spoke over the headphones. I raised my hand gesturing a thumbs up at him before looking back at the river, just as he had said the waterfall was approaching us. I sat back down, strapped my parachute on and took my headphones off, replacing them with my ear piece. With my pistols hoisted in my waist, my knifes tucked away into my boots and my small rucksack containing my phone, small computer, bullets and backup pistol strapped onto my back I was ready.

I walked up to the ledge of the helicopter as Pete shouted that we were over the waterfall. I switched on my ear piece, before closing my eyes. "You're ready to jump Julia." A voice spoke in my ear piece. It was the voice of my analyst Zoe. She was the voice that guided me through my missions, and most of the time it was thanks to her that I made it out alive.

"Thanks Zee." I shouted, through the loud propellers.

I looked down again seeing where I had to land. It was a simple jump, pull parachute and aim for the waterfall pool. I've done it millions of times. After taking a deep breath and saying a silent prayer I bent my knees and leapt forwards. The feel of the air around me as I lied flat in a star motion. My hair despite being in a pony tail flew in every direction. I brought my gaze down the waterfall getting bigger and bigger. I pulled the cord of my parachute and in seconds I was jolted up, my chest tightening from the sudden pull. My fall became slower as I slowly entered the rainforest. The trees that were once small hedges grew, my parachute became caught in one of the branches of the trees, I unclipped myself from it and fell into the pool beneath me.

I resurfaced, brushing my hair from my face. I quickly swam to the bank checking now one was watching me. I hide in a couple of bushes and laid on my back as I caught my breath. "Zee I'm on land." I spoke breathlessly.

"You make everything sound easy." She joked.

"It's harder than it looks, trust me." I answered sitting up and pulling my backpack off my shoulder and rummaging for my mini computer.

"The cabin is 0.5 miles north from where you are, the radio images are picking up some surveillance cameras and a couple of guards around the perimeter. So be on the look out. I'm transferring images to your computer now." Within seconds inferred images of the cabin popped up on my screen. Three bodies were detected, they looked armed and ready.

"Three isn't so bad." I smirked.

"Three armed guards outside, we don't know what's inside." Zoe reminded me.

"Well come to that when the moments right." I replied packing my computer away. I placed my rucksack over my shoulder and began walking north. I had to be attentive to my surroundings, the slightest sound of a twig breaking caught my attention. But most of the time it was a small creature lurking around. I kept my hand on my pistol as I walked, ready for any one. My body suit was luckily drying off due to the heat, but my hair stayed stuck to side of my face. "Hey Zoe."

"Julia." She answered.

"You never finished telling me about your date last night." I said, smiling but kept my attention on the rainforest around me. The only sound of birds and tree branches was heard above me.
