Jericho 941

The elevator goes up one floor the doors hiss open and we all disembark
My glasses have an over lay I am directed to find my gear have 3 min to complete the task.

I realise that everyone scattered,im looking around its just an office space a large one about 150 identical cubicles.

Im directed left then right at the end of the hall I see a backpack with my ident number in neon orange.

I move towards it I hear a sound to my left and before I can register what it is im blindsided by a fist.

My jaw feels like its shattered I recover quickly its military or Sarah.
"That one you get for free,the next ones gonna cost you"

She smiles balls her fists and travels right before swinging her left fist into my temple.

Im going to kick this bitches ass,
I get in a few shots before I realise that she hasnt gotten her backpack I quit playing nice and get her in a choke hold.

Why are we fighting she gurgles,I let up on her throat and she says directed to take you out hand to hand.

I nod and sqeeze her neck till she passes out.
I wont kill anyone till I absolutely have too.

Im thinking i should tie her up but thats not my style.and I have about 26 seconds before I run out of time to get my back pack.

I get it with just 3 seconds to spare I loop it over my shoulders.
Get to the fire escape the route flashes on my glasses I follow cautiously.
I need to see what kind of gear ive been given.

So I slide into a cubicle and take off the back pack.
Inside is an assortment of things two kbar knives with thigh holster a utility belt for clips and a twin shoulder holster for a set of sweet  jerico 941 hand guns.

A kevlar vest in my size oh joy I strip off the tank put the body armour on slip the tank back on,strap on the thigh holster,check the guns both have full clips and two spares theres a grenade and a small tranq gun with enough ketamin to tranq a horse farm.

I load a dart in the tranq gun and push it into a loop on the utility belt.
I look over the guns sweet perfect grips matt black with a stone grey inlay.

I shrug on the holster tighten it and put both guns on they not too heavy just right.

I trained on them and a slightly heavier glock 9.45 so im proficient.
Inside is a bottle of water a set of throwing stars and a coms unit I pull it on and start checking chanels static almost all the way through then I hear something it sounds like freckle but its not.

The high pitched scream vibrates through me.
I pull a gun and start making my way to the fire escape.

Another scream this time I can hear it closer to me.
I cant get involved I need to stay on task but by the third scream im like fuck it.

I follow the screams its the asian dude hes tied to a chair thats suspended 10 feet in the air.

Cheese grater has him hes dripping something onto asian dudes head.
Everydrop makes him scream.
The container is plastic high grade judging from the opaque colour ,it has a small hole in the left hand corner its half full of acid.

"Motherfucker"
Sung screams
"Motherfucker"
Cheesegrater mimics its almost perfect.

Fuck me im going to either shoot him or create a diversion.
I look around I see the little black girl the dancer in the rafters.

She has two small knives, throwing knives.
When she sees me I shake my head at her she pauses.
I show her my gun and she shakes her head at me indicating I should use my eyes.
