The Hunter

Chapter 3: Operation Knock-Out

(Frost PoV)

This is my first mission after Fred's death, I've got Sebastien with me along with Y/n (Ghost) and Gustave. We are here to grab an assassin that's been targeting White Mask officials. We have been told that he may not be come quietly, and me and Seb don't know who he actually is, only what he looks like.

We moved on the house, being as quiet as possible. We moved into the living room where there was a note. "Hello team rainbow, leave now because I don't want to hurt you, so I would advise leaving. What I do to the white masks doesn't concern you, It's Personal." I read the note out. I could see Sebastien get a bit jumpy, Doc looked a bit worried. But Y/n (Ghost) looked determined.

"Y/N, WE ARE NOT HERE TO HURT YOU. COME OUT AND COME QUIETLY." He shouted, we all looked around checking corners, making sure that we wouldn't be caught off guard. And that's when we heard a grunt from behind us. This towering hulk figure had grabbed Doc by the throat.

"I warned you." He said before throwing Doc through a wall, we opened fire but it all bounced off his armour. The assassin grabbed Sebastien's rifle and ripped it out of his hands, he then quickly swiped his legs and punched him once in the face. Knocking him out. Y/n (Ghost) then get's dragged out of cover and thrown threw a wall. But the assassin hesitated before attacking me. And that was a fatal mistake because Doc came up from behind and Shot him in the neck, the tranquiliser bullet piercing his under suit and making him drop.

We grabbed him up from the floor, Doc checking up on Seb and Y/n (Ghost) helping me carry the assassin towards the Helicopter, where we tied him down and Flew off to Hereford base.

(Venator PoV)

I woke up in a chair, my hands cuffed to the table. My armour and mask was still on so I'm guessing Acerbus kept the security up. I cracked my neck, then my fingers. I then waited, for I had nothing better to do.

After about an hour of waiting some one walked in, an African American woman. Followed by Tina and another person I never thought I would see again. Sebastien. What was this woman doing.

"Hello Venator, I am-" I cut her off, "Director Six, I know. You've brought two JTF2 Bodyguards with you too." I finished, she nodded, "You know these two don't you?" she said, she wanted me to confess that I am....used to be their commander, but I don't deserve their respect.

"Maybe, maybe not. That's not why I am here though is it. you knew about my old White Mask activities, why bring an Ex-White Mask here where everyone hates and kills White masks, Director?" I asked. I quickly turned this interrogation around.

"It's because I know you were forced." Six replied, I was quite surprised, and so was Sebastien, "Bullshit, no-one is forced to kill innocents." He shouted. Six calmly held up her hand. "He was Buck. They has his family hostage, that was the only reason he worked with them." She answered for me, although she had one detail wrong.

"Had. They had my family. They are now dead, that's why I am here, not in one of their bases being forced to work like a fucking slave." I responded, my anger growing. Six could tell this.

Then Tina spoke up, "Why did you hesitate to attack me? You didn't with the others." She asked me, "I hesitated because I saw the fear in your eye's, that was not my intention. I was quite shocked with myself and had a moment of self-doubt before I blacked out." I answered.

"Well, Venator. I am here to offer you a job, here. Where you can get paid for killing White Masks. The only reason I am giving you this option is because you were forced. The other choice is to go to prison." She said, "Director, I am not going to prison. But I can't Join this little club you have. I don't deserve to be here. I don't deserve to be around these people who fight my last...... let's say 'Employers'." I answered, I was quite saddened.
