The Watchers- end game (the watchers sequel)

chapter 17- A bold move

-meanwhile, at the HQ of the Shroud and his drug cartel, The golden triangle, somewhere in the Mojave dessert - (dawsons POV) *as i gear up for an assignment i listen to a briefing given by the Shroud on what the heist we're about to undertake has in store though i listen close to my part which is the getaway pilot and air support*"worlds most secure building" *i mutter and my eyes widen in realization if what im about to do *"fuck"*i mutter taking a swig from my flask of vodka which helps me keep my cool and backs my cover as a former Russian mob boss and i look to Alex whose my co-pilot and smirk and grab my faded leather coat and aviator shades standing from my chair and then walk to the heavily armed helicopter alex will be using for the mission as the five man crew takes off in a convoy of armored cars and as i inspect the helicopter alex will be flying and seeing everything looks fine i walk over to the C-130 cargo plane i will be flying and mutter to myself how stupid this plan is*"here we go"*i mutter climbing into the cockpit and starting to go through my checklist of stuff as alex takes off in the direct of the heist crew though i wait an hour before taking off myself, and on the way i open an encrypted radio channel and tip off the authorities though from this point on things just get worse as even at cruising altitude, ground to air SAM sites start trying to lock on which added with the extreme turbulence im feeling makes the rest of the flight difficult and then. And then alex gives me landing coradance and with the best of my abilities i land on the short runway as the armored cars rumble into the plane and alex runs to the cockpit to help me take off and with fast reaction time i get the plane going as MPs block the runway* "holy hell"*i mutter as we pick up speed though not as much as is normal due to the hunderds of tons of gold and truck in the cargo bay*"shit" i mutter realizing how close this is going to be and pull up hard on the yoke and manage tp get off the ground, the left side gear striking an MPs car on the way up and with a few adjustments we turn and gain altuide *-meanwhile back at the watchers command- (masons POV) *i look around at the tension filled faces in the room as the standoff contiues until a solider runs in, clearly a recruit and they step up to sky and whisper something which makes his eyes widen and his face turn pale his guns lowering* get me a goddamn plane! *he shouts as his comunicator lights up flashing "code 4- hero in distress "* oh..fuck *he mutters and looks to the members of his team then to me with a slight glare and lays his pistols on the table*"i'll be honest with you" he says bluntly, "i dont like you, because i see you as a two bit lier and a traiter, a scumbag with guns, a badge to back him up and a grudge" he pauses picking up a lever action rifle "but as the saying goes..united we stand, divided we fall..and we need to stand togther and focus on the real threat instead of bickering" he pauses again "and by god, we need to kick the shrouds ass because hes pissing me off" *he loads the rifle* "and he robbed the most protected place on earth and is after one of my people..plus collapsing the world economy but thats a story for anther day" *he picks up his guns * "mason, take your team and go investigate fort knox me and mine are going to save one ours and we'll meet up with you" *he says and then runs out the door with his team in tow and i look to my team and sigh and pick up my trusty M16 and head out myself ready to do what im best at. investigation
