Part 2.
The sound of the small window opening attracts your attention, awakening you from your past events. You get to your knees, looking through your waist high window, eyeing the outside when a food tray slides in then closes. You stare at the tray with a sandwich, beans and a milk. Picking it up, you slide back down the door thinking of how much you hate beans.
"Milk? Really? Hold old do they think I am?" you say frustrated.
You look at the sandwich, lifting up one corner of the bread. Not knowing what it is, you lower your head down to sniff.
"OH MY GOD! Tuna?" You question. "
Taking another sniff to confirm that it is indeed tuna.
"EWW! This is F*cking tuna." You say with disgust.
You know just how much you hate tuna, just the smell alone makes you sick. You throw the tray against the wall and rest your head on your crossed arms on your knees. Your mind wonders on the reason you are here.
"I have done multiple jobs, some are high profile. Could they want some Intel? Could this be ransom? I have no family or friends, so ransom is out. What was in the briefcase that the General had?" You ask all these questions to yourself.
You remember the lady who hired you, was also the one who betrayed you. Betrayal is something you know too well, it is something that you have done time and time again to complete your mission and never thought twice about it.
"The waitress is the one that has me prisoner? She has different eye color, hair color but it is defiantly her. " You state.
You know it is the same voice. You had to change your appearance multiple times for missions but there is one thing that is almost impossible to change. Your voice.
"She has the same voice as the waitress." You then realize.
"Is she working alone? There is no way she could pull this off by herself. There has to be an inside man, or woman?" You ponder.
There are very few people who like to work alone but you are one of the few who prefer it that way. Less of a mess, no betrayals, no chance of getting caught because someone else assed up. Sometimes, you have to make an exception. Some jobs are just too risky to work alone, but the question is.
" So who would someone like me trust in a situation like this?" You ask yourself.
... There was something your father told you growing up. "The best way to keep a secret is to keep it to yourself. Second best is tell one other person, if you must."
You then have a flash back of a job you had that required another person. "Someone that you trusted."
Mexico City
"Zeus? Can you hear me?" You ask.
"ZEUS?!"
"Yeah yeah, I am here. Don't get your panties in a wad." He replied.
"Funny. You know I don't wear any?" You question.
"I always thought you were a thong girl?" He laughed.
"You should know me by now Z, I do not like things up my ass." You state.
"Is that why you do not have a boyfriend?" He stated but couldn't hold back the giggle.
"Who said I liked boys?" You say seductively.
"Touché." He grinned.
He closes his eyes, "I am having a mental picture."
"Can we just do this already?" You ask with a smile?
"Sure thing. You ear piece is working, GPS is working, and camera? Wait Ja-Z, cam is not functional.
"One sec..." You said.
"There we go. It is coming in loud and clear... Wait. Where are you? Are you upside down?" He said puzzled.
"Nothing gets past you does it?" Yes, I am upside down. I am in the elevator shaft, awaiting my ride." You state with a giggle.
"Wait... you are in the elevator already? You didn't wait for me? I thought this was a team effort?" You questioned.
"I didn't have time for you to put your makeup on Z." You reply.
"HaHa... cute. You afraid I will look better than you?" He laughs.
"Umm... sure." You say sarcastically while crossing your eyes.
"I have full access to all cams and making sure your exit is safe and secure J-Z and everything seems good... Oh this is not good." Z said nervously.
"What is it Z?" You asked.
"They know someone is here, they have doubled... NO... tripled the security. Not just any security. They brought in the Mexican Special Forces. I am sending the feed to your PDA." Z told you.
"Roger that." You say as you look on your arm at your PDA. "Feed is coming in... now. Wait, That is not the FES, those are Mercs Z. It looks like we have our hands full. Well, I do." You say with a sigh.
"Watch your 6 J-Z and come out safe." Z says worried.
"I watch my 3, 6 and 9. Z, I got this." You reinsure him. "Oh... my ride is here and It is coming up and I going down."
"That would be their protection detail and your headache." Zeus informed you.
"How many are there?" You ask.
"Not a lot. About 5 in the elevator but 30 total." He said nervously.
"That is more than I wanted to hear Z." You sigh.
The elevator dings and stops on the 25 floor.
"I guess this is my stop." You whisper. "I am on the move."
You reach up with both hands toward your feet and release the clamps that are holding your feet which is connected to the ceiling of the elevator shaft. You slowly lower yourself, head first, down to the top of the elevator. Once there, you open the vent and lower yourself down to press the 49th floor button then raise yourself back up, releasing the harness as you kneel from top the elevator as it starts to move up.
"J-Z, what you need is on the 50th floor, not the 49th." Zeus said puzzled.
"I am going in stealthy Z, So I crawling in the vents. I got this." You said.
"Of Course you are." Zeus said shaking his head.
You come to a stop on the 49th floor, you then remove the gate to the air duct and wiggle your way in. Being as quietly as possible.
After several minutes of crawling, you reach room Alpha 49 Delta. You remove the gate and place it inside the vent just in front of you. Grabbing the edge of the ventilation opening with both hands, You ease in head first and when you body is in. You flip over backwards with hands still holding tight, then you drop to the floor.
"Ok... I am in. Where is the Intel I am to retrieve?" You whisper.
"Try the north east corner. Look for terminal Alpha Foxtrot 21." He states.
"Roger that." You reply
Sneaking through the semi dark lab, you make your way to the terminal.
"Located the terminal but what am I looking for?" You asked.
"It is not on any disk of sort. You have to transfer files to a flash drive." He commands.
"Copy that Z. Inserting the drive now." You reply.
You insert the drive as the PC beeps.
"The drive is inserted, now what?" You question.
"Now it is time for me to do my job. I got this." He says. "I have to tap into the main frame computer, find the specific computers IP, by pass the security, blah blah blah and voila. Oh Shit."
"Oh shit?! What did you shit about?" You asked.
"J-Z? You got to get out of there. They are on to you." Zeus said nervously.
"What? What the hell happened?" You question.
"The security must have had some kind of secondary security system that would pick up when the other failed. GET OUT OF THERE NOW!"
"They have shut down the elevators once security alarms sounded. You have to find another exit and fast." Z commanded.
"I have a plan B or should I say plan Z." You giggle.
"This is no time for jokes J-Z, they are coming." Z stated.
Just then two individuals bust through the door with suppressed MP5's. You are standing behind the door awaiting their entrance, ready to pounce. As soon as the first weapon is in sight, you reach from behind the door and grab on to the barrel and wrist of the assailant and quickly aim his gun toward the second individual and fire 3 quick burst in his chest, just above the vest. You then turn your body away from the individual, your left side is to his right as you secure the weapon. You send an elbow into his face, not once but twice. Not hesitating, you raise your left leg, slamming it down into the assailants right knee. You hear a crunch and a scream as you broke his knee cap. He falls down to his knees while you still have a firm grasp to his arm. You place your right hand on his wrist and the left hand placed behind his right shoulder as you pull with your right and push with your left, dislocating his shoulder before pushing him to the floor face down. You place your left knee between his shoulder blades and wrap both hand around his forehead. Then with a switch, smooth motion, you pull back hard. Snapping his neck.
Peeking around the door frame, you map out your exit strategy. You reach down and grab the suppressed MP5, just in case. You make a break for the stairwell, located the end of the T shaped hall surrounded by glass windows that gives you a perfect view of the upcoming hall on both sides. As you make your way down the hall, you noticed several heavily armed mercs entering from both sides of the hall. They will soon be blocking your exit. You kneel out of sight as you think of what to do next. If you run out in front of them, you are good as dead.
You then notice the air vent placed level with the floor.
"If I can get in there I will be safe." You thought.
You stand up and start running for it, the assailants then notice you, as they start firing their weapons. You raise the MP5 and empty the clip into the vent cover. You toss the weapon aside and slide through the damaged vent cover.
Your surprise is, you put too much energy into the run and forgot about the elevator lock-down. You slide just a bit too far, and slip from the other side. Lucky you have cat like reflexes and grab the edge of the vent as your body slides off. As you slip off, the mercs look through but do not see anyone.
"The intruder has escaped through the ventilation system. I repeat, they have escaped through the ventilation system. We need a full building lock-down." He commands.
You exhale. "That was to close."
You pull your feet up at waist level and take a deep breath. You push off with your feet, throwing you back and grab onto the elevator cables.
"Z? Can you read me? You ask.
"ye... I... rea... ou. But you ar... breakin... up." Zeus tried explaining.
"Damn it, they are running radio interference. If you can hear me, I am making my way to the roof. I repeat, I am making my way to the roof. " You said.
You know they can't radio in, all they can do is break the signal. Zeus said it was hack proof. You start you way climbing to the roof by cables. You reach your destination where you left your harness upon entry.
You reach the door that leads to the roof in which you entered earlier. To your surprise, when you open it, you are met with a hard punch to the left cheek. You stagger through the door holding your cheek.
"Son of a bitch, that hurt!" You thought.
Holding your cheek, you look up at who hit you as the rain falls down upon you. You were surprised to see a female assailant standing there. She was dressed in full body armor with goggles and ski mask. You know it is a woman, because women with big breast have a hard time stuffing them behind chest armor. She has a gun pointed at you and is on the verge of pulling the trigger when out of nowhere comes Zeus tackling the woman. You rush toward the woman but in doing so she has pulled her secondary weapon and took aim at Zeus and fired a shot, hitting him in the lower stomach. You scream "NO!" and kicks the weapon from her hand, throwing yourself on top of her. You kneel with your right knee in her shoulder as you send one, two, three and four punches to the sides of her face. She uses her left arm and catches the fifth punch and turns her arm and lifts it, twisting your arm. She balls her fist and sends three or four punches to your kidney when you fall backwards, raising her to a sitting position. You wrap your legs around her arm and placed your ankles behind her head crossing them. You push with your legs and pull with your arms, trying to dislocate her shoulder. She groans and sends one, two, and three punches to your lower back.
"Oh Fuck!" you scream as you let go and roll out of the way.
You clutch your back as she raises her arms in a Krav maga type fighting stance. You roll your shoulders getting ready for a fight then jump up and down on your toes. She rushes you and sends an open round chop to the side of your head as you easily raise your left arm to block. She then sends a left round house fist to the other side your face as you block that with you forearm. She reaches both arms in and grabs you around the back of the neck, locking her fingers in place and tries pulling your head down while jumping trying to get you to meet her knee.
She pulls down on your neck as her right knee comes up in one swift motion. You extend both hands just below your face to block the knee. She tries to repeat the attack with her left knee which is blocked again. She repeats with the right, then left, then right again before releasing your neck trying to send and elbow down on your shoulder which hits hard, but before you could grab your shoulder. She sends an elbow to the side of your face. She connects with the first one, just the tip of her elbow on the chin but you manage to raise your right arm in an L position to block the next. She comes at you throwing elbows on both sides so you have to raise both arms in an L position to keep from being slaughtered. She tries several times before you catch both her arms and placed them under your arm pits. You put both your wrist under her elbows and raise up violently, hyper extending her elbows bringing a scream from her. You head butt her nose and send a hard knee catching her just below the belly button a couple time before releasing her arms and dropping her to a knee.
She on a knee holding to her stomach as you rush in. You scream and jump into the air, sending a knee trying to connect with her face but she is quick and turns to the side. She uses her speed and comes at you trying to get the upper hand. She tried to send a knee of her own into your lower back but you side step causing her to miss by inches. You are on one knee as she lands with body in an X formation. You have a leg between hers as you raise your elbow and drop it hard on the top of her thigh and then you elbow her in her lower back. When she groans holding her back in pain from the kidney shot, you do a leg sweep. You roll over on your back side and kick your legs in different directions causing her to do the splits. With the sudden kick of her legs in opposite directions, she lands hard and fast on the roof floor causing her to land crotch first. She groans, not used to having her legs and crotch stretched out in that way, her hands go to cover her injured crotch.
You Spring to your feet and move in to finish the job. You are on your feet and you move to the left side of her and send a hard kick to the back of her head and neck, knocking her face down clutching her neck. She is stunned as you stand above her placing a knee on the middle of her back. You grab onto her right arm and step your right leg in between her arm and her side. You turn a 360, (a wrestling move) wrapping her arm around your ankle as you kneel down on her back, pinning her wrist between your thigh and calve. You wrap your hands around her neck, inner locking your fingers, you pull back hard and start to chock her. She uses her free hand to try and reach behind her and grab anything she can but to no success. You pull harder and harder onto her neck as the life slowly slips from her body. Her arm motions slow and weakens when she finally stops moving and falls unconscious.
You release her and let her lifeless body lay on the roof. You get to your knees and scream. "Z!" "Z!, WHERE ARE YOU!?"
"Cough... over here." Z stutters.
You run to him and kneel beside him. You cradle his head in your arm.
"NO NO! Stay with me Z. Stay with me. Don't you fucking leave me. Not now!" You scream.
"It.. it is ok J-Z. You can let me go." He says in a low voice as he touches your cheek. They will be here soon. So you must go. Please! For me?" He stutters.
"I won't leave you." You say as tears fills your eyes.
"It is ok. I am free now. Please leave before they get you. I love you J-Z!" That was the last thing he said before his life slips from his body.
Z?... Z?...Z!? You say historically.
You lower your head as you cry, closing his eyes. Laying his body slowly on the roof you hear the door open.
"She is here somewhere. We need to find her." The soldiers say.
"Oh Fuck!" You say getting to your feet as you head to your exit point. You have a drop line on the west side of the building so you make a dash for it. There is a soldier already there as you run up behind him. He doesn't hear you till it is too late. As he turns with wide eyes, you jump into the air and wrap your legs around his neck, sitting on his shoulders facing him. Then in a quick smooth motion. SNAP! He falls lifeless below your feet.
Still crying from Zeus, you run to you Zip line. Plan Z Zeus. Plan Z you smile as talking to Zeus.
