Chapter 11: Panic

When our plane landed at another small airport, we were escorted in the back of a military truck to the onsite location. Their operations were set up in an abandoned building about four miles away from where they believed our target was being held. The entire place was a ghost town.

On the way there, we had two soldiers ride with us in the back of the massive transportation truck that could easily fit twenty soldiers. One of them mentioned why the town had been abandoned. It was uninhabitable because of a mistake made years ago where a coal mine had accidentally been lit on fire. It was still burning underground to this day and would continue to burn for hundreds of years.

The air was hazardous from the toxic gases seeping out of the ground. It wouldn’t kill you, but it could certainly impair your health. At the very least, a person might pass out from a lack of oxygen if they stepped in the right spot. They had gas masks for us all, the type that only covered our nose and mouth. The gas wasn’t any danger to our eyes, only our lungs.

When we arrived, we found out more details about the situation, which was that they had very little information. At the very least, they knew where their guy was, but they didn’t know who the enemy was or what their intentions were. Turns out, the reason why they needed Liz was, in fact, because they suspected a bomb was involved.

The man was a Lieutenant General, a step up from the Major General Armstrong we were under. He was highly valuable to the military, so it was important that we get him out alive at all costs. They had no idea how many people we would encounter, but it was clear this situation might be a trap. Therefore, to mitigate potential losses, and to accomplish the mission as fast as possible, Omega squad was divided into three.

As expected, Zane and I would escort Liz to the top floor of an abandoned hospital where they believed the hostage was being held. The hospital had five floors. Gamma Squad would come with us to help clear each floor as we moved our way up the central portion. Our primary goal then was to protect Liz, and eventually the Lieutenant General. Beta Squad, along with Ava and Zayden, would be clearing a building adjacent to the hospital.

They were sending Trinity into an underground parking garage next to the hospital by herself – primarily because in many ways she was like a one-man army, but also because it could be cleared quickly if she was alone. No one except me could match her speed. Plus, the fact that there were few places to hide meant it wasn’t a very strategic location for the enemy to occupy. Once she was done, she was to regroup with Ava and Zayden to finish clearing the adjacent building.

I quickly discovered another reason why they had separated our team in this way.
