"Jem, what are we doing here?" Jeth asked as he looked around the familiar surroundings around him.

"We have a Windwalker who have requested assistance against the North Coast Gangsters. He was pinned down really badly and the firefight team he was helping out were...dead." Jem replied.

"Let me guess, Lloyd?"

"Yeah. How'd you know?"

"He told me that he'll join us after his mission. He was a big JaDine fan."

"You came from these streets, right?" Eric asked.

"Yeah. In fact, Lloyd came from these streets too. He was a gangmate."

The van stopped in front of a battlezone. There, they saw six gangsters on the right and a pinned down Windwalker with dead PNP SWAT Members around him.

The team jumped out of the van. Equipped with SC-2010 Assault Rifles, the team opened fire at the unaware gangsters, already taking down four.

"Lloyd, get in here!!" Jeth screamed.

Lloyd immediately revealed himself from cover. He ran away as the bullets from the other side were flying over him. He let out a blind shot at the enemies, taking down one of them. Eric cooked a grenade and then tossed it at the lone gangster who was still alive, killing him.

The team immediately boarded the van. With a screech, the van did a left turn and then left the scene.

"Thanks for saving my arse back there." Lloyd says.

"What are you doing in a place like that?!" Jeth asked.

"Got stucked with a SWAT Team who hired me as an additional member to help them out on their raid that has gone wrong. Turns out to be a trap."

The van raced against the traffic.

"So, what are we gonna do now?" Lloyd asked.

"Well we have a contract from the Employer to play bodyguard and watch over these two celebrities. The Employer also told us via the Email that he'll send a Corp Security Specialist who was studying each merc teams because of something that I don't even know." Jeth says.

"Corporate Dogs." Lloyd muttered.

Master Legend Inn

"Room 204. That is where you'll find the SAT Computer." Blackshot remembered.

Blackshot nods at the girl on the reception desk whom have mistaken him from being attracted to her.

Blackshot whirled to corridor on his right and walked. He spotted Room 204 between 203 and 205.

He turned the knob open and walked inside.

There, he spied a wooden table, a bed and a TV, above a drawer, in front of it.

The laptop was sitting on the table's surface. He sat down, lift the upper part and worked on with the computer.

After a couple of minutes, he successfully taken down the system and crashed it.

Blackshot stood up and then turned to the door. He walked out of the room, only to find two Sohiko Corp Agents.

"You--"

Blackshot drew his pistol and then fired at the agent. The other agent tried to fought back by launching a fist at him. Blackshot blocked the attack using his left arm. He launched a right fist at the agent, stunning him. He then kicked him hard, sending him crashing on the floor.

The Receptionist saw what just happened. Blackshot gestured her to be quiet. The agent was about to draw his pistol when Blackshot kicked the pistol off from his hand. He then let out a shot at the agent's forehead.

Blackshot approached the girl on the receptionist. He aimed his pistol at her.

"Stand up." He says.

The receptionist stood up. He made her walk inside an empty room, which was the Maintenance Room.

Blackshot found a duct tape on one of the shelves inside the room. He grabbed it and then bound he hands behind her back. He also bound her feet and then gagged her.

Blackshot was planning to poison her. He knows that what he was doing is against the protocol but letting someone witness the 'operation' was also against the protocol as well.

Blackshot mixed the bleaching chemical and a bottle of chlorine. The girl was moaning as she struggles to escape.

"Sorry, I got to do this." Blackshot says as he poured the last drop.

The burning smell of the chemical started to hit in. Blackshot walked out of the room, locked it and left the building.

He rode the motorcycle and left the Inn.

"Alright, we are here." Jem says as the team boarded off the van.

Suddenly, security agent approached them. She was wearing a trench coat with a gun holstered on her belt.

"You must be the Windwalkers." She says.

The team knew she was the security specialist.

"I never expect that the security who'll be with us was a female." Jeth says.

"Follow me, I don't have time for your witty comments." The Security says as she left.

The four, armed with P90, followed the security specialist. She led them to the mall's backdoor and finally to the celebrities' dressing room.

"Wow!" Jeth exclaimed as he saw the two.

James nods at Jeth who was still staring at them. Nadine also smiled at Jeth.

"We hired you since we need a helping hand. Your objective was simple, protect the marks and wait until the show's over. You'll receive your payments after this." The Specialist says.

"Wait, what is your name?" Jem asked.

"You tell me."

"Jem."

"You can call me Higuit. Security Specialist Higuit."
