《The Memorial Day Murders》Chapter 26 : Infiltrating the danger zone
Advertisement
In the newly unlocked case, lays a futuristic looking white color drone. A remote control accompanies the package with another note and Jay read it while I take a look at the drone. "It's from LGF." he said. "Good luck with this new drone, it's not yet in the military but you guys would've appreciate it."
"I guess that this new thing comes directly from The Pentagon." I said. "Maybe-"
"Maybe the President wants us to get the job done and provided us the latest gear."
"Jay? You sure?"
"Maybe. From what I heard on Neptune Spear they sent a team of Navy SEALs to do the job."
"And you think that we're a similar SEAL kill squad?"
"Should ask Gerry, he spent time with the SEALs before getting transferred to Burqa."
"Did someone mention my name?" the man himself came out to the campfire. "I heard a drone fly by. Anything happened?"
"Dropped off this package." Jay said, showing him the case. "New drone, state of the art."
"Cool." he said, looking at the new toy. "Dom would've liked this."
"Guys? Got a call from the commander back at Burqa." Dom said, walking out from the tent we used as a makeshift communication center. "The commander wants us to attack two nights later."
"What about the President?" Jay asked. "Hold up, who gave the kill order?"
"The commander said it's from The Pentagon." Dom said. "The SAS guys are radioing in their commander for further instructions."
"What about the South Koreans?" Jay asked.
"Their commander told the soldiers to follow our lead." Dom said, running a hand down the back of his head. "I'll let Isa do the talking."

Two days later
Night falls as we assembled for the mission to take down one of the leaders of the Taliban. Checking our gear to ensure everything is ready I shouldered my M4 carbine as Dominic surveyed the members of our squad, all armed and ready for action. "Here's how we do this soldiers." he said. Then in the makeshift tactical room Dom rolled out a map detailing the size of the area we will launch our attack. "Alpha team will head in straight from the east side to take out the guards guarding the back door. Bravo will take on the west, the SAS guys will attack the convoy that have left an hour ago. Our intel says that Masir would be alone here in the safe house acting as his private compound. Our objective is to kill him."
"We're attacking blindly in the night?" Gerry teased his cousin.
"Put those glasses on." Dominic replied, keeping his composure in check. "Isa, is the drone ready?"
"Ready when you are."
"As another commander would you like to say something?" My gazes darted between the teams.
"Don't screw up." I said. "All right, move out!"
Half an hour later
Trekking on the long road towards the compound dressed in our combat uniforms we kept quiet to avoid detection in the cover of night. Wearing night vision goggles we turned them on before starting the journey towards the safe house. Dominic and I have planned out our operations days ahead : Alpha team breaks in through the east and Bravo team the west, Alpha team will head straight to kill the target while Bravo sweeps the compound for explosives or hazardous materials. I lead Alpha, with Gerry and Jay in it with three more ROK soldiers while Dom leads Bravo with Lincoln and Olivia alongside Brian and the remaining two ROK soldiers. I have no idea what did Uncle Byun told Brian as he nearly fought with Dom when he learned that he will not be in my team. I laughed when Dom tell me the story and I told him that he didn't know about what I have experienced. "Very protective if you ask me."

"I think he's not convinced yet Dom." I said. "Don't worry, he'll know after this mission."
Foraging through the deserts we soon reached the compound. Alpha and Bravo took a knee behind a small building that acts as a guard post. "Put on your silencers. We don't want to draw fire." Peering inward through an open window I did a quick look around the interior. The compound's security didn't come cheap, surveillance cameras monitoring the facility for any threats besides the human security guards. "We need a hacker now. Bravo?"
"Got it. Jefferson, you're up." Dom replied. Jefferson scurried towards my side while I aimed my carbine at the back of the security personnel's head.
"I'll tag him and you hack into the systems. Got it?"
"Clear." Jefferson said. "Hang on a sec." taking out his tablet used for hacking he accessed the blueprints, including the power grid. "You need to take out the power first."
"And the silencer wasn't working?" I teased him. Jefferson smiled as the power in the security room went dark.
"I'm not saying it's working or not. And voila." aiming at the confused guard I fired the shot. The shot went off like a whisper as the bullet hits the target and the guard fell back, lying dead on the floor, blood pooling from the back of his head. "Okay... how do we get in?"
"I'll handle this." I said, taking out a lock picking kit from my backpack. Two minutes later I unlocked the door but nobody moved in. "Laser alarms." I said. Spraying a can of aerosol into the room the lasers appeared in the form of red lights.
"Does anyone knows gymnastics?" Dom asked.
"Keep a look out for threats." I said, handing Lincoln my backpack and carbine. Gymnastics is a muscle memory for me as I manuvered my way through the laser beams but testing it in the wild is a first since my days as a SHIELD agent. Working with them for almost three years it all came crashing down when the agency was exposed to the public with the fact that Hydra has been infiltrating it's ranks. I quit the agency after this and focused on my studies, then West Point came knocking when I finished my military service in South Korea. I was actually set to be deployed to the Afghan front when the academy came knocking and they too sent me there without knowing. I crouched down after passing the last hurdle and accessed the security systems, disabling the laser alarms.

Mary Susan Oceanrunner and the Brutus Saint's Academy
Join Mary Susan Oceanrunner on her quest to do... erm... something really important for the world... probably... Ahem. Long gone are the days when every hero could do whatever they wanted - now, we are civilised. We have government. Law. And proper forms. Lots of proper forms. (Final episode 25/07/2022. Also - beta readers far into the book rate the 'gore' degree as below 2/10, so the warning is a bit much) Mary Susan Oceanrunner is a poor girl from the orphanage, who like many others before, has to fulfil her destiny. The prophecy had been told, and she is the only one who can make things right. Erm... probably. Anyway, she can't just go and kill monsters like in the middle ages. First, she must apply for the appropriate permissions, fill the forms, learn about the proper loot taxations... Hey, no one said adventuring would be easy, right? Disclaimers: No claim made by any character by the book should be treated as the author's or anyone else's opinion on any subject. Most likely, it was just the funniest thing the Author could think of at the time of writing. This book contains many references to other works. It will probably be best enjoyed by individuals familiar with at least some of the following: 1) Computer games2) Fantasy in general3) Science fiction4) Tabletop RPGs5) Conspiracy theories6) Corporation work life7) Long forgotten prophecies uttered millennia ago in almost as forgotten languages under a starless night three dusks before the great convergence8) Filling any government-mandated form9) School10) EnglishMy ultimate goal is to make as many people experience something akin to joy while reading (think ~a bit louder exhale through the nose). It doesn't mean every scene will be funny or joyful because that's not how this stuff works. I can neither confirm nor deny having any other hidden agenda outside of that.

The Fate of The Summoned (being ReWritten)
The Fate of The Summoned In the world of Aethion things are vastly different than on Earth. There is Magic and Monsters, as well as Demons and Dragons. Throughout the history of the world there have been many wars, both between all the various nations and kingdoms and between those nations and kingdoms and the Demonic forces lead by a Demon King or Lord. There are times that the Demons gain so much more power than the other nations, or that the others are embroiled in a war against each other and the lone nation is targeted by the demons. It was during these occasions that the various Gods and Goddesses started giving two things to the races. The First of these things were the Blessings, magical blessings given to the worth for chosen things. The Second of these things were the Summoning rituals, magic rituals that could summon beings from somewhere else, that would be Chosen, by the gods. These beings have almost always come from our world, Earth. It has been centuries since this practice began and the countries of the world have almost always flourished for a time after a Chosen or group of them were Summoned. All of the countries treat the Summoned well, almost like kings or princes in their own right. Well, not all countries, there are some that have treated them almost like slaves, though those countries don’t usually last long. There is one though, that has lasted, for a long time due to their connection to their Patron Deity, the Goddess of Light. They only accept certain types of Summoned and they dote on certain members of the country more than others. Several years ago they performed a summoning, as they were being plagued by overflow from the dungeons. Now they, like the other countries of Aethion, have performed the ritual to fight against the current Demon King, who is said to possess a Blessing. This is a story about Fate, and those that fight against it and those who accept it. In this story the main character(s) do not fight their fate, like those in my other story, rather they embrace it and let it shape them, though that does not mean they are total slaves to it. While there will be similarities to most other Hero sumoning novels, i hope the Mcs abilities and such will make it unique.
