A Gift for a Couple
Nicholas lay on the medical bed at the base, the gunshot wound in his side closed, his shoulder neatly bandaged."General, the search team reported evidence of a fierce battle at the shootout location. Many high-caliber firearms were found. No bodies, but plenty of bloodstains. Police teams have secured the area, General. Serafina vanished without a trace."Nicholas got up from the bed, despite Martin's attempt to stop him. "I have to find her.""General, you haven't recovered," Martin pleaded."No time," Nicholas said, grabbing his clothes. "Martin, I need a small team. We're going to find Serafina. She must have a secret hideout in this city."...It took Nicholas and his small team two days to find Serafina.They found her in an old, abandoned art gallery."I knew you'd come, Nicholas," Serafina said, without turning around. "You always find me."Nicholas stood at the doorway, his team waiting outside. "I need to talk, Serafina."Serafina finally turned, her eyes red and swollen. "
Everyone's safe.
"Stella! Follow Martin! Make sure they get to the car!" Nicholas commanded. "I'll clear the path!"Stella nodded crisply. "Understood, General!" She fired sporadically into the woods, providing covering fire for Martin and Luna. They crawled quickly towards the armored car, now about fifty meters away.Nicholas forced himself to stand upright. His side ached, and blood continued to seep. But he couldn't give up. He was Luna's last line of defense. Nicholas looked towards the forest. Shadows moved rapidly among the trees. This time, there were many more of them. They were mercenaries, better equipped, moving with much more perfect coordination than the previous group."Damn it," Nicholas hissed. David Thorne really did set this up. This wasn't just a regular assassination attempt. This was a planned military assault.Nicholas had two more hand grenades. He tallied the number of enemies appearing. This time, there were about thirty armed men. They came in three waves, fanning out to enc
Got it, right?
It was 3:00 AM. The sky was still pitch black, but inside the silent car heading towards Lake Hotel, the atmosphere was chilling. Nicholas led Team Alpha. Behind his tired face, his eyes gleamed with a hunter's sharpness. The wound on his shoulder still throbbed, but that pain was nothing compared to his resolve."Martin, your team in position?" Nicholas spoke through the earpiece. His voice was low and commanding."Affirmative, General," Martin replied, his breathing sounding steady. "Team Delta ready to penetrate the ventilation system. Awaiting orders.""Stella?""Team Bravo on perimeter, General," Stella's voice came through crisply. "Already identified two guards at the front post. They're out of sight. Requesting permission for non-lethal incapacitation.""Not now," Nicholas said. "Main objective is Luna. Don't make any noise until Luna's secure. Follow instructions."Nicholas's car pulled to a stop in a hidden area, not far from the hotel's back entrance. Nicholas and Team Alph
Enemy Neutralized.
It was 3:00 AM. The sky was still pitch black, but inside the silent car heading towards Lake Hotel, the atmosphere was chilling. Nicholas led Team Alpha. Behind his tired face, his eyes shone with the keenness of a hunter. The wound on his shoulder still throbbed, but the pain wasn't nearly as strong as his resolve."Martin, your team in position?" Nicholas spoke through the earpiece. His voice was low and commanding."Affirmative, General," Martin replied, his breathing sounding steady. "Team Delta ready to penetrate ventilation. Awaiting orders.""Stella?""Team Bravo on perimeter, General," Stella's voice came through crisply. "Identified two guards at the front post. They're out of sight. Requesting permission for non-lethal incapacitation.""Not yet," Nicholas said. "Main objective is Luna. Don't make any noise until Luna's secure. Follow instructions."Nicholas's car pulled up in a hidden area, not far from the hotel's back entrance. Nicholas and Team Alpha exited, moving in si
Sorry, General
"Don't move!" one of the officers yelled, aiming his rifle at Nicholas. "Hands up!"Nicholas tried to raise his hands, but his shoulder felt like it was being stabbed. He hissed. "I'm... General Nicholas. Special Forces." His voice was hoarse.The officer who had yelled earlier approached cautiously. He saw the wound on Nicholas's shoulder, the blood staining his shirt, and Nicholas's grim, albeit pale, face. Nicholas painfully reached into his inner pocket, pulling out a leather wallet containing his official military ID.The officer took the wallet, his eyes scanning the ID under the flashlight. His expression changed drastically. The tension in his body evaporated, replaced by genuine respect. "Our apologies, General! We didn't know. Reports of gunfire and a small brush fire. We thought... what can we do to help, General?""Call a medical unit and a search team. There's an armed group in the woods. I need the area secured," Nicholas commanded, his voice regaining its firmness, thou
Fight to the Bitter End
"He went into the woods!" someone shouted. "Dogs, after him!"The dogs' barking grew louder, closer. Nicholas knew they couldn't stay spread out for too long if they wanted to be effective. Nicholas found a small dip in the ground, covered by bushes. He squeezed himself in there, barely visible.The first man, accompanied by a dog, arrived. He wore night-vision goggles, scanning the darkness. His tracking dog sniffed the ground, whimpered softly, then suddenly barked towards the hollow where Nicholas was hiding."He's here!" the man yelled.Before the man could move, Nicholas leaped out of his hiding spot. Nicholas grabbed the tracking dog's collar, yanking it back hard, making the dog choke and struggle. Nicholas didn't want to permanently injure the dog. He just wanted to use the momentum. Nicholas used the struggling dog's body as a momentary shield, then quickly released it towards the armed man. The man, startled, tried to dodge his own panicked dog. Nicholas didn't waste the cha
