#27 of Genetic Children
Korm hears about his past, Niel hears about his future and Emu has a troubled Present
"Put down your guns and get off the ladder." The first masked man said.
Niel was staring straight into the barrel of a Automatkarbin 5, an AK5. The AK5 was highly modified, with an elongated flash suppressor and a bayonet attatched. He took a quick glance and saw that all the soldiers were wielding AK5's, some with underslung m203's and others with underslung masterkey shotgun attatchment. These men were ready for just about anything. Except Niel.
"Ok, OK." Niel dropped his CAWS, dropped his Gp35 and then while still standing on the ladder, changing from hand to hand to drop his weapons he threw his Titan at the closest guard while simultaneously shoving himself down the ladder. Gunfire errupted almost immediately as Niel dived through the door and sprinted back towards his turret. He grabbed the screen and saw the men were split. Some were headed down the ladder the others were staying put inside the roof.
Niel knew that the roof was almost a meter thick, and he knew that the 12.7mm ammo could penetrate half a meter, so with only a moments hesitation he swung the turret around and started mining through the roof smashing the concrete away and ripping through the roof destroying the men standing there. His turret was firing hot, burning streaks through the hole in the roof, Niel smiled to himself. Served the bastards right attacking his base was a bad idea.
"Hehe, bastards'll be dead soon." He chuckled to himself. While he was focusing so much attention on the roof squad, the ones moving down the ladder had breached the door and were stealthily moving up the corridor.
TINK, TINK, TINK
Niel looked down to see a grenade had been thrown at his feet.....
"Tacita, we have to bypass the security on this door before we can give Wade the payback he deserves." Korm was covering the hallway while Tacita was cracking the security on the door. Everyone had forgotten about Layla in the car except Korm and Tacita. They knew that while they held the attention of the guards Layla would be safe. All that mattered to them was their revenge now.
BANG.
Korm took out another guard who had coming running around the corner, a single well placed shot with his wilson drove a bullet through the mans brain. The red splatters on the wall marked each time someone had been silly enough to poke their head around the corner or try to get to the otherisde of the corridor.
BEEEP
"Sumus." Tacita spoke latin for 'we are in'.
The huge door slowly shunted itself into the roof as the two sidestepped and waited facing away from the door to cover the corridor. Once the door was up they peaked around the corner. The room was empty.
"Let's go!" They ducked into the room and hit the door close button. They ran off to the otherside of the room and continued down through the next corridor.
Niel kicked the grenade away and dashed down the hallway away from the squad of men. Bullets pinged off the wall as he dived through the door on an angle to be covered by the doorframe.
BOOOM
Shrapnel, bullets, chunks of conrete and fire came raging through the door! As soon as he'd hit the ground Niel rolled and rolled and rolled.
"Gotta, get, to, the, armoury!" Niel panted to himself. At least he was out of that hallway and he knew the men wouldn't follow for a few seconds at least. He ran through the next hallway sprinting past his traps, this room had lines of Composition B stuck all over the walls. Comp B was an explosice used in sticky mines but Niel had repurposed it. He had created a lattice of the material all over the corridor. It is a very stable explosive with a high ddetonation power of 8,050 m/s. It would totally destroy the room. Niel ran out the otherside and turned left, he ran into the armoury and checked his wrist device.
It read 17 minutes.
He had another 2 minutes, three at the most to get to an exit.
He grabbed a sweet little number. A JTL-E, a 5 shot pitol capable of firing the devastating .500 sw magnum round. He put 4 speed loaders in his pockets. 2 with .500 sw magnum rounds, and two with .500 incendiary splash rounds.
Heading back to the corridor laced with Comp B, he waited to see movement, holding his pistol with one hand and resting the other hand lightly on the room detonator.
"SHhhshshhs" Emu hissed sharply as the needle was injected into her neck.
Korm had asked Niel t_o_ wait in the veiwing room as he started the interrogation. He started by establishing what they already knew.
"Who do you work for?"
"You know the answer." She didn't even look at him as she said this. Hanging her head down with her eyes closed. Clearly she had been interrogated before, she was keeping her eyes closed so they couldn't play tricks on her.
"I want to hear it from you!"
"I work for ARSENAL, or I used to, remember when we broke out of that hospital. That was the day I cut ties with ARSENAL. You don't have to believe me, but don't do this to yourself Korm, once you torture me there is no going back. And I've seen your dreams."
Korm turned and left the room. Motioning for a guard and a mysterious looking man to enter. The man would get any other information out of her, he could manipulate the truth chemical better than anyone.
Korm walked past the viewing room and asked Niel to come with him. They went up the corridor towards the Directors office. He had left and headed for the office one he'd seen that Korm was ready to begin the interrogation. He didn't even knock on the door when he got there, it opened for him.
"Korm we found him! He fled to Lab3, we assaulted the Lab but the teams all went dark as soon as they fired the first shots."
"Niel and I can take the Lab." Korm and Niel turned to leave, the Director didn't even argue he saw the look Korm had given him. This man would take Wade down.
They went straight to the armoury and while they were selecting their loadout Niel asked the question.
"Korm, how can we take them if three teams couldn't."
"I've done it before, so have you. We will kill Wade, we will interrogate him, he'll give us answers I don't like, and I will shoot him in the neck." Niel's faced became a puzzled mess.
"How can you know this?"
"Do you remember that day I shook your hand, seems so long ago."
"Yeah, your hand was wet. I assumed your had wiped sweat off your head."
"No. I brought that out of my dream with me."
"Korm, there's something you haven't been told about your past. It's up to the Director to tell you. Right now let's kill Wade!"
