I woke up at midnight to my alarm and went into the bunker bathroom and showered quickly, slipping my hair into a ponytail and slipped on my clothes after I brushed my teeth. I had slipped on my black jeans with my black-t-shirt over it with my black boots with it. 

I brewed a fresh pot of coffee and poured myself some. I was waiting for the team to assemble, we all wore all black. 

"Let's run a few simulations. We'll do it intermediate mode to get some feel of military grade personnel coming at us." I said and they nodded, chugging their coffee's with me before we walked into the simulation room.

"Intermediate skills, intermediate bots, live feel for bullets." I said and they nodded as I set the bars. "How many people?" I asked and they looked at eachother. 

"Let's do 100?" Michael said and I nodded, going into the sim room with them. The system scanned us when I stepped in and closed the door. 

"Welcome. This simulation will be intermediate skill level with intermediate military grade bots with live bullet feel. If you get shot  it will feel real or stabbed, wounds will consist of bruises and broken bones. You have 100 bots and as a team you have to kill them all or be killed. If you are killed you will be moved out of the simulation and have 3 minutes to prepare for your fight." The operation system spoke as the walls converted to gun carriers. 

I slid two pistols into my waist band and took two for now. I slid some bullets onto the belt across my shoulder and grenades. I slid a knife in each of my boots and my waist band in the front. I readjusted my hair and smiled at Michael who cocked his guns. 

"I got your back you got mine?" He asked and I grinned. "Always." I shook his hand and slid a shot gun into the back of my gun holster. 

"10 seconds." The operation system reminded and we stepped onto the foot rests. The once white room dimmed significantly. 

We were in a dark warehouse of some sort the next second as it prepared the simulation. "Good luck." The system said and we all took cover behind large crates. I slipped on my night vision glasses with the rest of the team.

"Keep coms open." I said into my ear piece and they all repeated the same thing. 

"Ready?" I asked Michael who grinned. "This, is what we live for." He winked and I grinned, moving to the other crate as Michael shot the bots. 

The bots were human simulation. They were bots, yes but they could talk, understand and feel like any normal human. If you shoot them they die and blood spurs. If you cut them or shoot them they scream. It's great. 

"Ready team?" I repeated and they all smirked at me from behind different crates. 

"Ready boss." Mel said and I smirked. 

"Mel, go. We'll cover." I said and we all shot and let Mel leave to a different location as we covered her. "Michael." I said and he left too. "Seb." "Anthony." "Jessica." I said covering them and shot a dozen bots in the head. 

"Sniper!" Michael warned and I ducked as the bullet shot next to me. 

"Shoot the lights!" I said and began shooting the lights and they followed. The bots were fighting in utter darkness but we weren't. 

I walked up to one and shot him in the head, stepping over his body and did the same to his friends. 

"I need lights!" One of them yelled and I could see cars outside park and the headlights turn on. There goes our advantage. I ducked behind a crate and looked to my right to see Michael smirking at me. 

"Having fun yet old sport?" He asked and I chuckled. "Always." I chuckled and a bot ran next to me, coming at me but I dodged his punches and snapped his neck. 

"Take out the sniper. Anthony, get to the second floor after and snipe for me." "On my way." He said and I ran in the middle and began shooting various bots, killing them. I ran out of bullets as I disappeared to the far edge of the map. 

"Shit." I mumbled and before I could even reload a bot came over, knocking me down to the ground. "Lookie here. We got a little woman." He said behind a twisted smile and a loaded gun.

 I kicked him in his knee, causing him to double forward and I grabbed his hand, sticking my foot in his torso and threw him over my body so he landed flat on his back over me. I grabbed my knife and stabbed him in the neck. 

I heard gunfire a few feet away and rolled to the left, throwing my knife at the man and got him square in the heart. I loaded my gun and collected my knife and finished the job. 

"I got the sniper." Anthony said and I nodded. "I need cover to go upstairs." "Will do. Team." I said and we all checked in, coming around and began shooting at everyone we could. 

"I spot 6 more." Anthony said and I nodded. "Take them out." I heard sniper bullets falling to the ground and a bunch of grunts. 

"How many more?" I called out loud. "16." Operation system said and I sighed, seeing them. They were coming towards me. I threw two grenades out and jumped over the crate to the other aisle, landing ontop of a man, I wrapped my legs around his neck and took him to the floor with me, shooting his two teammates on my way down and snapped his neck. 

"I got eyes on 6 heading towards you Leslie." Anthony said and I sighed. "Let them come." I said standing up and watched 6 men circle me in the middle of the map. 

"Want to tango?" I asked them, twirling in a circle as they chuckled. "With you, any day sweetheart." One winked and I dodged his punch, grabbing his arm and kneed him in the face, kicking him to the side. 

"Feisty." He commented and I smirked at him. "Always." One came at me and I grabbed his arm, flipping him over my body and he landed on his back and I twisted his neck under my foot, grabbing my pistol and shot two in the head before ducking and felt a bullet hit my side making me scream in pain. I saw the guy I had kneed smirking. 

"Not so tough?" "Want to dance?" There was only 3 left. I put my fists up and they all laughed, coming at me at the same time. I began fist fighting them, punching them as hard as they punched me. Eventually I got bored and stabbed one in the heart, snapping another neck and shot one in the head. 

"Simulation terminated. File in for final kill count." The room flickered and then turned back to the white room. The bodies and blood on our hands evaporated into thin air, my knife clinking against the cool tile as it fell from the bots body. I took it and sighed, liming over to the rest of the group. 

"You good?" "Groovy." I smirked and they rolled their eyes.

"Sebastian, 36 kills. Jessica, 27. Mel, 36. Anthony, 27, Michael 24. Leslie, 50." The operation system recorded and Anthony screamed. 

"You're lying! I know I have more kills than my wife!" Anthony yelled but Mel only laughed, pressing a kiss to his lips. "Tough shit." She mumbled before we walked into the main room, gearing up for tonight. 

"What's the plan?" We sat at the table after putting armor under our suits. "Our plan is this. Two teams alright? I will be in vents with coms. Jessica." I began explaining the plan and we prepared for the biggest job of our careers. We've gone after empires, cartels and gangs but never entire countries. 

This, was going to be hard. I hope I make it home to my husband.
