Special Force

Part 16

After I told the rest of the report of our missing case to the boys, we all remained quiet. "I hope my mom is okay..." Jay said. "I'm sure she will be okay," Jimmy said and patted his back. "I miss visiting her." He said. I nodded. "I know you do." "We'll try to contact her somehow." 

"I wouldn't try that if I were you." Mekayla Waterson said. "We blocked every way you could have a connection with the civilisation. Our radars are blind for the FBI or the CIA or whatever. They're out of our reach. Whatever we do is a secret to them, because there are still rats in their system. There are people who betray them and break into the system, they could destroy all the Special Forces." She said. "It's a risk for everyone to let anyone know where you are. Not only for you but for the whole world." 

Shit... What about the tracker I let go on, I thought it still worked even though it was destroyed. I don't know what they did with the tracker. Am I still in trouble? "Good to know. But sadly we can't talk to our friends and family above the surface..." Jimmy said. "I miss the girl from the grocery store. She didn't recognize me so I could finally have a normal conversation." I said. The boys all chuckled a bit. "Of course she misses me too, who wouldn't miss a handsome boy?" 

I wish I could take their sadness away but these jokes are the only thing I can do. I know they all love it. Waterson suddenly stopped walking. She held her hand on her ear. "What?! I'm on it, give me 5 minutes." She looked at us and pointed in a direction. "Follow this way and turn left. At the Centre of Health, there will be someone waiting for you. I need to go." She clearly had no time for a warning because she immediately ran away. 

"What are we going to do? Follow her or follow the directions?" I asked. "Directions," Jimmy said. "We don't have a choice, I guess," Jay said. "I want to follow her," Yamai said. "Some action will be good for us all." Yamai looked at Waterson who was still running away in the other direction. "Jimmy and I will walk to the Centre of Health and will make something up. We'll see you there if you know what she's up to. Get back here again if you know what she's up to, okay?" Jay ordered. Yamai and I nodded and ran after Waterson. 

"Finally! Some action!" Yamai said while smirking. "Calm down tiger, we can't get noticed. At least we're wearing normal clothes." I said. Yamai nodded and saw caps lying around a store close by. He grabbed them and pulled them on. "Cover yourself, Tariq, she's not dumb." I nodded and pulled the black cap on and made sure it hid my face a bit. "Good idea." 

We saw her using her handprint to get into a door, the door split in two after having electric blue light run from the centre to the sides. We ran after her and made it just in time before the doors closed again. No alarm went off while we sneaked in. We ended in a small hallway with two doors on both sides, the hallway was oval. Everything was white, the floor was barely a floor, it was more of an oval hallway without serious ground. 

I heard Thompson's voice but I didn't know what he said. "What's this?" Yamai whispered. "I don't know," I whispered back. We walked a bit further and saw a round room with no corners, the edges were higher than below. You could walk downstairs to a lot of computers and scanners at 3 tables. "Houston scan the area above! Waterson prepare squadron 3.5 and 7.5!" Thompson instructed while typing on a device. 

"How's the helicopter, is it prepared?" "Negative," Waterson answered on Thompson while calling someone. "Do we know what we're dealing with yet?" Tompson asked. "Negative, the scan has been turned off and our barriers are starting to tear down," Houston said. "Bring squadron 3.5 and 7.5 outside and lead them to secure the forest! I don't want anyone near the entrance, use as much talk as you can, less violence and don't kill anyone." Thompson ordered. "Won't you join us?" Waterson asked. "No, I'll help Houston with the computers. Dolan will be coming soon too." Thompson said and got behind a desk. 

Yamai and I still weren't noticed by anyone. Suddenly the door behind us beeped and Yamai quickly pushed me into one of the doors on the side. We heard people ran from the entrance to the other door. I sighed. "Thanks." "Ssh!" I nodded and looked around. This is a clothing room, there were guns and protective gear everywhere, helmets and full bodysuits. We can't stay here any longer. We need to do something. 

I looked at Yamai with hopeful eyes. He looked with a smirk to the bodysuits. I shook my head and whispered. "No! Don't!" He was still smirking and looked my way. "We need to get out of here!" I whispered. "We're breaking the rules!" "Nobody said we couldn't follow them. Nobody said this is a forbidden place." Yamai whispered. I sighed softly. 

I looked around. "We could climb on top of the lockers and climb our way out?" I said. Yamai nodded. "Alright. He helped me climb on top of the lockers and I broke into the ventilation shaft. I crawled in and Yamai followed. "We're too big for this shit," Yamai said. I nodded only and tried not to make any noise. 

I saw the room where Thompson and Houston were at now from above. "We're at the control room," I whispered. "What do you see?" Yamai asked. I looked down at them. "They're watching the entrance from green 3D lasers. They can see armed people walking around a field. They're the teams 3.5 and 7.5 Thompson was talking about." I explained and kept watching.
