Reunion Under The Apple Tree -- A DDLC Fanfiction

Chapter 11 : The bold rescue

A13 and his squad set foot in David's mansion. Upon their entry, a few guards turned and tried to intercept them. However, this time the guards are being outnumbered by A13 and his men, and they are instantly killed.

They arrived at the lobby of the mansion. There are several corridors in front of them, each with several closed door that wold lead to various rooms.

'Okay guys,' I ordered. 'Stick to the plan. I want every single room in this mansion searched thoroughly. If you see someone that is not a girl, nor have brown hair and green eyes, kill on sight. Let's go!'

'Yes sir.' The squad shouted in unison.

'One more thing.' I added. 'Stay in touch with each other via comms. If you need reinforcement just call for help.'

I immediately paired with Gavin and we begin to advance towards the middle corridor. The rest of the men got into groups of two or three and began kicking down doors. Gunshots were heard occasionally as they defeat the remaining guards.

With the cover provided by Gavin's shield, I bursted through several rooms strategically. We encountered a handful of guards on our way but none of them were able to stand a chance against our simple yet effective formation.

'I need to reload. Cover!' I shouted as I pulled the mag off my P90. Gavin sticked closely by my side and used his shield to block any incoming bullets. He also provided some auxiliary firepower with his Glock.

Eventually the second last room at the end of the corridor is cleared. There are no sign of Monika's presence. We approached the final door, which appeared to be larger than those other doors.

'A13, Gavin. Be advised.' Jason's voice comes through the comms. 'David is located on the other side of the door you are standing in front of. He is accompanied by around a dozen guards.'

'How did you know this?' I asked.

'I have access to all of his security camera. That is David's living room.' Jason said. 'I'm a hacker, remember?'

'Jason. Why don't you tell me earlier? Do you know which room is Monika in?' I said. 'We are here to save Monika, not aimlessly barge into other's rooms.'

'Ummmm......' Jason hesitated. 'That is the weird part. I didn't see Monika anywhere from all the cameras I can access.'

My heart sank. Monika is not in the mansion? Did she escape on her own? Or did David hide her from us? Or worse, could she have killed herself out of despair? Any one of the above then our entire operation is pointless.

I urged myself not to think of this for now. I asked Gavin to be prepared as I forcefully kicked onto the door, only to experience sore on my leg while the door refused to open. I took out a pack of C4 and was about to install it onto the door.

'That is a metal door.' Jason spoke into the comms. 'You are not going to kick it open. You can't blast it with a C4 either.'

'Right. Can you open it?' I asked.

'Of course. Except by doing this I am going to unleash David and his guards. Can you two handle them?' Jason replied.

Gavin and I each stood behind the door. I took a stun grenade from my belt and pulled the pin. 'Jason, open now!' I instructed.

The metal door slides open slowly after my call. I tossed the stun grenade into the room after the opening is large enough for the grenade to pass through, but not large enough for us to be exposed under enemy fire. The grenade exploded with a dazzling white light, blinding them for a few seconds. Gavin and I used this opportunity to charge into the room, effectively killing those defenseless guards.
