A New Fight: A Rainbow Six Siege Fanfiction

Ch. 8 - Revelations

His stomach churned at the reality of his position. Several thousand feet in the air, 2IC held his hands tightly on the belts that strapped him into his seat. He had never actually rode in a helicopter before. He would be lying if he said he wasn't at least a bit anxious.

Ela, Smoke, and Lesion sat calmly. Lesion next to him, and Ela and Smoke across.

Of course he couldn't sit looking at Ela, Smoke sat before him. His eyes weren't seen as his mask concealed them, but 2IC could tell this guy was eyeing him, and it by now was beginning to finally get to the new blood. He disputed between looking at him, or the three thousand yard drop below, and both were unsettling to the stomach.

Ela was looking out across the vast city. They were moments from their mission area, then she herself would give another short briefing, and then decide on their positions.

The pilot brought the chopper to the rooftop of the building, slowly descending onto the helipad built on it. A few men stood waiting for them. A man in a formal suit, as well as a pair of security guards behind him. The team exited the chopper, Ela giving a thumbs up to the pilot. The chopper ascended, and Ela approached the man in the suit.

2IC, Lesion, and Smoke followed behind, letting their mission leader answer to him.

The man was short and a bit burly, he had a weak combover and there was already perspiration building on his forehead as the sun beamed down on that day;that and he knew why these operators were here.

Even the guards, armed with simple service pistols felt a bit intimidated by the team. A fit female with a beautiful Scorpion evo, and a trio of well armed men behind her like a pack of wolves.

The burly man cleared his throat, extending his hand out, "Hello, I am the security director here. I will show you the protective measures we take in protecting the bank and it's loyal cu-"

"Whatever asshole. Just get us inside and give us access to all your cams." Ela sighed irritably. She just wanted to get this over with.

The man adjusted his tie, and gulped. "Well then, right this way." He turned, and the group headed towards a door that lead to a descending flight of stairs.

"This is everything I have on 2IC as of now..." Six added as she set the file down.

Thatcher pulled his chair in, and he glanced at the file tab.

'2IC.'

He opened it slowly, and the first thing seen were huge red circles drawn on a physical map of Africa.

At the top of the page, written in bold red marker, "Confirmed Places of Action." Next to it, in deep blue, "Suspected Places of Action."

Thatcher looked it over, seeing large blue circles surrounding the countries of South Sudan, Uganda, and finally the Central African Republic.

In red, the entirety of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the Republic of the Congo.

Thatcher set the map down, seeing only a few papers left in the file.

What was left were doctors notes on his health, his averages in training sessions, and copies of any government IDs, and his birth certificate,

A picture of his unmasked face was clipped to the edge of one the doctors report. Thatcher looked at it, while Six clicked a few times on her computer.

'Riley Pierce Hakim'

Was the full name of this individual. Each part of his name was printed boldly in their respective sections of 'First' 'Middle' and 'Last'.
