Wildlands (rskde & BurningWillows)

[Risky]

Harris chuckles. "By the way, how's Eh.. Ember? Oh wait.." He says through the door, a throaty laugh leaving his mouth. "If you think you're the only one who can play this game you're very wrong, Skull Face is coming for you, he knows where you are always.. I guess you could say he will scrape the ends of the Earth searching for you, but with the new tech he got? It wouldn't take very long." He says with a grin.

 

[BurningWillows]

She held back her temper as he spoke of her, knowing that was what he wanted.

"Thanks sugar for the free information," she retorted, getting back to her feet, "Enjoy starving."

She strolled away, doing her best to ignore him as she left. She made a beeline for Shrake's office, to fill him in on the little tidbit.

 

[Risky]

Harris starts giggling to himself, it turns into manical laughter as he hears her run off, he holds his stomach and stops laughing, coughing and falling on to his side, closing his eyes and quickly falling asleep.

 

[BurningWillows]

Katerina isn't even sure it really is information as she approaches Shrake's door. She already knew he'd be looking for her. You don't cross Narcos and walk away free and uninjured. Skull Face either planned on breaking her to the point she wanted death, or making her become paranoid enough that when death did come she welcomed it. Not to say though that this "new tech" Harris boasted about wasn't a good tip. And then again...this could be another trap. Fuck Narcos...what game are we playing here?

Kat still thought it be wise to fill Shrake in, only popping her head in to give him the paraphrased information, showing her lack of surprisal at it. Then she left, wandering the corridors for something to do.

 

[Risky]

Another day goes by before Shrake is looking at the final draft of his plan, the map in front of him is all marked up, scratched to hell from mistakes and errors, bright colors that show the actual plan and other colors displaying decoys in case the map is found.

He calls the team together, when they all arrive he explains the plan.

"I'm gonna switch out the helicopter's rotors, make the silent.. We will go I'm fast and silent, we will land on Lion's skyscraper and use rappel hooks to rappel down to the floor he is on, we'll remove the glass and enter, throwing a CN gas canister or two to make sure the guards are knocked out before securing Lion, we want him alive.. The guy is a pussy, once we catch him he will do anything for us, we leave tonight, reasy yourselves." He says to his team.

 

[BurningWillows]

Arya nods, followed by affirmation from Kat and Red. Everyone separates to get ready, meeting on the roof as dusk begins to fall. Something had Arya's guts twisting, making her feel nervous. Maybe it was the two missing members, the hole in their team still evident.

 

[Risky]

Shrake walks up to the roof and works on the helicopter, upgrading the engine ad the rotors to be completely silent, allowing for a stealth drop. Hours later he gets into the cockpit while the rest of the team is getting into the chopper itself, he takes off and heads towards the city Harris had mentioned.

 

[BurningWillows]

Red sits with one leg hanging out the helicopter, rifle on his lap as he looks out at the country below them. Looking across from him sits Al.

"Ready for this man?" is all he asks, watching the other sniper.

 

[Risky]

Al looks over at Red and nods, he holds a silenced MP5, a drum magazine attached to the bottom and a laser on the side. The helicopter flies for a couple of hours before it is pitch black, the team puts on NVG's before they land on the roof of the skyscraper, they have not been noticed.

 

[BurningWillows]

As they hit the asphalt of the roof Katerina ducked, staying low in case their were guards patrolling the area. Arya came up beside her, also crouching as they scanned the area, but saw no guards. As the team assembled together, Kat was careful to keep an eye out, wanting to keep their presence a secret for as long as possible.

 

[Risky]

Al moves up to the door that leads to their roof top access, he puts a bar over it to make sure nobody would come up to find them. He gives a thumbs up to Shrake.

Shrake returns the thumbs up before motioning for the team to follow him. He grabs his grappling equipment from his belt, which is attached to his chest rig in case he fell. He hooks the rappel on to the ledge of the building before jumping off of the roof, swiftly landing on the windows without a sound.

He waits for his team to follow his lead before slowly walking down the building, searching for The Lion.

 

[BurningWillows]

Arya was the first to the edge, copying Shrake and quickly following him before Red and Katerina caught up. Silently they made not a sound as they descended, looking into each window for their target. They fanned out, each Ghost a good couple feet from the next so they weren't all staring into the same rooms.

 

[Risky]

Shrake spots the target and motions for his team to come closer, he grabs an incendiary fuser from his belt, turning it on and swiftly torching a circle in the window, just enough to shoot through. He then moves to his right, making a big square for them to move into. He throws the remaining glass off of the building, it sails to the bottom where it is destroyed, they don't have much time.

Shrake rests his silenced UMP-45 into his circle before taking two shots, each connecting with the head of a guard, he motions for his team to move in.

 

[BurningWillows]

Slipping inside, he crouched as the rest filed in, watching for movement. They were in a long hall, littered with doors left and right; obviously this building had once served as an office tower. Red rolled to the first door and opened it cautiously, checking for any guards. The room was empty save for a small desk in the middle with a chair and nothing else.

He motioned at Katerina who was placed by the next door and she opened it slow, sticking her gun in first before popping her head in. Again, no one. Another empty room with only a desk and chair. Al was at the next door and then Arya, checking to make sure no one got the surprise on them, each member crawling to the next available door as they quickly but silently snuck down the hall.

 

[Risky]

The Lion, American super hacker and terrorist by terms of the CIA sits in his grand room, alone, looking through the world of information Katerina Benneca's laptop had to offer, he peruses through the information, chuckling to himself at how easy he was able to access the information. Outside his door stand two guards, he figured nothing would be happening tonight so he orders them away, they go down to a different floor.

He is 17 years old, he had decided to leave America and his family to view the high life of Bolivia, and he had been rewarded for his skills on the keyboard by Skull Face himself.

Shrake moves in, he opens a door, a guard shouts out in surprise before he is taken down, Shrake starts to run down the hall as more guards are alerted, the buildings alarms go off.

"Tactical mode is dead ladies and gentlemen, keep your silencers on, but move quickly." He says over the radio before kicking down the door that leads straight to The Lion. Shrake moves forward, grabbing the kid and Kat's laptop, pressing an FN45 against his head and walking him out of the room, despite his protests.

 

[BurningWillows]

Alarms go off, the shrieking sound drilling into her head. Kat moves into more of a half crouch so she can run low, moving ahead of the team to take out the cartel guards pooling out of the elevator and stairwell at the very end. To either side of her Al and Red pull up to help, their aim far better at only halfway down the hall -a good twenty meters between them and the cartel members. Katerina still hits each mark, but the snipers take only head shots and are quicker. Pretty soon there's a pile of bodies near the elevators and another only a few feet over by the stair well.

"All clear for the moment," Kat calls into the radio, "Reinforcements will arrive in five at the latest."

While the three have been taking out the alerted guards, Arya took Shrake's flank, watching his back for any surprise guests as their leader got his hands on the hacker and Kat's laptop.

 

[Risky]

Shrake drags Lion through the upper levels, sirens from outside begin to wail, it seems the Cartel in this area bought out the police force because sooner than the team could react, a full team of SWAT was scaling the building, breaking through windows and firing on the special operations crew. Shrake fires off three shots before moving Lion into the elevator, pressing the button on it so that it would take them to the roof.

When the team arrives on the roof, they find to their dismay, the helicopter is broken. Shrake throws the Lion into the chopper and yells into his radio.

"Secure the perimeter, I'm repairing this!"

He gets working on the engine while Al keeps the prisoner in check.

 

[BurningWillows]

"I got the door!" Kat shouted out, finding a good spot behind a pipe large enough to kneel behind that directly faced the door. She knew she'd be useless aiming to the ground below, and Red already called that out, saying he had it handled. Arya was along the edge, firing at the SWAT members crawling up the building, and from the looks of it Winters was doing the same, although Kat couldn't tell because she couldn't peel her eyes away from the door as it burst open and more guards filed out, quickly piling as she shot each in the head.

Thank god I brought more than one extra magazine, she thought, refilling and taking another two shots.

 

[Risky]

Shrake curses as he continues to work on the engine, an electrical shock exploding within the engine itself and shocking him.

"It's gonna be another good ten minutes, guys." He says over the radio, rubbing his hand against his anti static mat before continuing his work.

 

[BurningWillows]

Katerina fired off another two shots, quickly counting the ammo she had left.

"Going to need some help over here," she called into the radio, hearng Shrake's update, "I don't think I have enough bullets to last that long."

Even saying that, she fired another three rounds, emptying another magazine. Growling, she jumped up and ran at the door, slamming it against a guard as he rounded the corner. She could hear him fall down the stairs as she pressed into the door, using her body to keep it shut. It was only a momentary solution. If enough guards piled up they'd overpower her and get the door open.

 

[Risky]

Shrake listens to the radio before motioning for Al to help her, he slams Lion's head into the door of the chopper, cracking one of the lenses on his thick glasses and knocking him out before leaving the chopper to help Katerina. He motions for her to move aside before cracking open the door, tossing a fragmentation grenade down the stairs. After it explodes, Al runs down and places a block of C4 on to the stair case, running back up before destroying the staircase.

 

[BurningWillows]

"Thank you," she breathed, stepping away from the door as the blast took apart the staircase.

He didn't say anything, but she knew why. Being of little help to the rest of the group keeping the SWAT from climbing to the roof, she moved to the chopper to see if Shrake needed anything.

 

[Risky]

Al walks over to the wall, cooking a grenade and smashing it into the helmet of a SWAT officer, watching the man fall before exploding into a thousand pieces, the shrapnel killing the men around him too, the bodies fall many stories to the ground where they splat on to the pavement. A SWAT helicopter starts to approach.

 

[BurningWillows]

Seeing the helicopter approaching, Arya swears and backs up from the edge, eyeing it as she backtracks a few more step.

"Think you can shoot the pilot down?" She asks Al and Red in unison hoping one of them had a clean shot.

"Shrake we may have a new problem," she adds into the radio, her eyes glued to the approaching enemy copter.

 

[Risky]

Al shakes his head. "When it gets close enough, I can try throwing a grenade into the pilot seat, but if I were to shoot it, so many things could go wrong, I could hit the pilot, the helicopter would hit the building and the structure could collapse, the debris could kill civilians.. Too many risks to try anything, we'll have to let them deploy their SWAT and think from there." Al explains to Arya as another SWAT member climbs up his side of the building.

Al punches the man straight in his plastic visor, cracking it and forcing him to fall from the building, he hits the side of it a few times on the way down.

"Just.. Hold on, I've almost got it." Shrake breathes, sweat running profusely down his face as he continues to work on the engine of the helicopter.

Suddenly the helicopter whirs to life. "Everybody get in!" He yells as his team starts to back up towards the chopper. He gets into the pilots seat, his hands so sweaty that he has to wipe them on his BDU's in order to fly straight.
