Last one, your screen set still for a few seconds before your assigned squad started moving from a roof and on ground towards your apartment entrance and windows.

As the squad leader hanged from a grappling hook, seen in his main footage from 1st person prespective how his hands from each side of the screen were going to grab the window frame. The moment he pushed the window up the detonator went off, the camera on his chest showed an explosion, he flipping a few times in the air before hitting ground and the screen went black.

Back in the control room Travis jolted in his spot, looking close at the screen in a surprise face that turned angry as well. "What the hell is going on there?!" he roared, seeing how the footages of the screen were running around like ants. "Come in! Viper, come in!" he said to his shoulder where the transmitter was. No reply "...Dammit!"

The squad leader was down. Travis punched a near supply locker that made a resounding sound in return, he was mad obviously one of his fine soldiers were down and it riled him up.

"All units retrieve the target ALIVE! Get me that sonofabitch!" he yelled to the transmitter that followed by "Roger that" and "Copy"

The weirdest of it all was Herman Carter's reaction. Not only that he looked amused from the combat director outbursts at the event, he was excited. Never shifting his eyes from the screen at all times, something sparked in his eyes with menace. He put his hand under his chin and laid back in his chair, observing this move you just did.

He knew it. You were something special, he even felt it from your file. He watched with squinted eyes at your screen with built anticipation, what else would you bring upon this operation?

2 of the footages on screen were dragging the squad leader out of sight while the others continue with caution advancing towards your apartment. One unit entered through the destroyed window, sliding slowly through it and landing on his feet, he looked around and so did the camera on his chest. The apartment looked empty, a bed from his right side and a closet further down the room at the same side. He started walking as the other units were coming up the stairs.

The soldier, a little startled from the earlier window explosion turned quickly to a squeaking sound that came from the closet. He approached slowly, aiming his gun towards the closet doors, as he came closer about to open (Y\N) bursts outs, pushing the soldier back, stunning him for a few seconds as his back hit the opposite wall and then oddly you went back into the closet, closing the doors in front of you.

From the other side the units coming up the stairs heard the loud thud from inside the apartment and halted for a second, looking at each other in sort of confirming the noises that came from inside the door, one of them reached for the door knob to your apartment, starting to turn it.

It all happened in slow-motion, the door opened a little and a string pulled from above, igniting the small detonator, sending the other units back with a small explosion enough to throw them back to the building hallway .

The soldier from inside got knocked hard from the explosion, his unconscious body spreaded as  his head hit the floor. If this was going on like this you might have a chance to get the hell out of here! You left the closet with a burst and started running towards the building's hallway and down the stairs. Adrenaline  washing over you and the brass knuckles already set in your hand, ready to break any nose interfering with your escape.

As half way through the stairway you saw two more soldiers coming straight at you. You stepped back in the 2nd floor as they came up the stairs. You saw a vase in the hallway to your left, standing there on a small table for decoration, you grabbed the vase and dropped it on their head. They stumbled back as you leaped at one of them, punching him square in the face with your Knuckles.
