Chapter Seventeen

When I got home after my appointment, I went up to my bedroom, and laid down for a bit. A few seconds later, I got a call from the STR.

“Mathis here. Good news. We’ve got your first assignment. We need you to come in ASAP,” Mathis said.

“All right. I’m on my way,” I replied.

I sat in the living room, anxiously looking through the front window, waiting for the STR to send someone to pick me up. When my ride came, I made up an excuse to leave the house.

“Hey, I’m going to spend the night at a friend’s house,” I said as I went out the door.

“Okay,” Mom said as she was in the kitchen preparing dinner.

On my way to the base, I called Max.

“Hey, Max. It’s Alex. I got an assignment. I need you to cover for me, got it?” I asked.

“Sure thing,” Max replied.

I arrived at the STR base and met up with Mathis, who waited for me in his office along with Jack.

“Good to have you join us. We have been doing some searching on the whereabouts of Jackson, and we believe that we found something,” Mathis said.

“What did you find?” I asked.

“It appears that that Jackson had a connection with the Taliban, named Abdul Mikhail. He’s one of the Taliban’s leaders, and we believe that he may be the only lead we have on finding him,” he said.

He showed a picture of him on the big screen. He wore a green shirt, green pants, and boots. He also wore a green cap, sunglasses, and had a beard.

“Right, so what do we do?” I asked.

“We found a compound outside of Herat, Afghanistan, and we believe that he has been using it to sell the Type-1 serum on the black market. I’m sending you and Jack in to investigate the compound, to secure the area, and to find any evidence confirming that Mikhail was there,” he said.

“Were you guys able to get anything else? Preferably anything on the Type-2 serum?” I asked.

“Not much other than it was highly experimental and still in the early prototype stages, but we believe that some of the serum might be at this compound,” he replied.

“So, is this a stealth mission or can we go in guns blazing?” Jack asked.

“Whatever turns you on, Jack. Infiltrate or fuck up the place. I don’t care, just get the mission done,” John replied.

Once the briefing ended, we were sent in.

I went to the armory and suited up. I wore a black camouflage shirt and pants, steel-toed boots, knee and elbow pads, hard-knuckled gloves, and a tactical vest. For weapons, I grabbed the assault rifle that I got from the attack with the grenade launcher attached underneath the barrel, a pistol with laser sighting attached underneath to help improve accuracy, and, for melee, a karambit, a knife designed for underhand combat with a ring on the end and a curved blade.

We arrived at the compound by helicopter. I sat there thinking about the mission with my foot shaking up and down, waiting to arrive.
