Chapter 185. Bodies.
The operatives moved, their hands working with practiced precision. They placed the charges along the weakened seams, their movements fluid despite the slight shaking in their hands.. The rest of the team took cover, their weapons raised, their eyes fixed on the door.Saul pressed himself against the wall beside Cross, his heart pounding in his chest. He could feel the tension radiating off the other operatives, a coiled energy that was barely contained."Ready," one of the operatives called out. "Charges set."Cross raised her hand. "Everyone clear. On my mark."The team retreated to a safe distance, their bodies pressed against the walls, their hands covering their ears. The silence stretched, thin and fragile."Three ,two, one…..Now!" Cross shouted.BOOM!The explosion was deafening.The door came down in a shower of sparks and twisted metal, the sound echoing through the facility like thunder. Smoke billowed outward, thick and acrid, filling the air with the smell of burning met
Chapter 184. Breach.
It was Kim's voice. Saul felt himself startled in place before he remembered that she was watching through the personal camera feeds on the helmets of the other agents.Cross had agreed to allow her to be stationed with their command room analysts as a way to keep her busy and informed, so, although not in flesh, she had been with them every step of the way.He felt himself wince slightly at the thought of her seeing some of the awful things they had experienced here already.She must be very worried if she had decided to comm him.“Kim," He responded, trying to keep his voice soothing, “Hey." "Saul, have you found him yet? Did you see him? Is he there?"Saul opened his mouth to respond, but no words came. He could hear the desperation in her voice, the fear that was eating her alive. He knew he had to be calm for her. Right now, he had to be the optimistic one."Not yet," he said, his voice steady despite the turmoil inside him. "But I'm still looking. I'm going to find him, Kim
Chapter 183. Vegetative.
However , deep down, he knew why this feeling wouldn't leave him alone. Something was changing inside him. The violence, the action, the adrenaline….it was pulling at him, drawing him in. Even with the danger of the last fight, his blood had rushed and he had felt exhilarated.He was actually enjoying this.The realization scared him. He had never thought of himself as a violent person. He had worked construction and whenever he really fought, it was only when he had to, but he had never craved it. Not like this.And yet, as he stood there in the shadows, his body humming with adrenaline, he couldn't deny the thrill that coursed through him. It was like a drug, addictive and dangerous, and he didn't know if he wanted to stop.Cross was watching him, her eyes sharp and assessing. "You're very quiet Mr Kinai. I thought you would be more chatty….. are you certain your alright?"Saul blinked, forcing himself to focus. "Yeah. Just... thinking."Cross studied him for a moment longer, t
Chapter 182. Cravings.
Then explain it to me," Cross said, her voice dropping to something almost gentle. "Help me understand." She softened her face, her eyes becoming imploring.“Help me, help you." But the assailant was too far gone for help.All he did was laugh again, a sound that was more bitter than joyful. "You really are stupid……If you think that I would help you. So, so stupid.""Hey!" Cross's patience was wearing thin. "I'm not playing games with you. Tell me what I need to know, or- ""Or what?" The figure's voice was mocking now. "You'll kill me? Go ahead. It doesn't matter. Nothing matters."Cross opened her mouth to respond, a sharp retort forming on her tongue. But then she stopped. Her jaw tightened, and she let out a long, weary sigh through her nose."This isn't going to work," she muttered, shaking her head slowly. "You're hopeless."The figure beneath shook their head, a sound like a snort coming out from their mask. "Now you realize it? What gave it away?" He giggled to her and Cross
Chapter 181. A Time.
(Five minutes later)It was show time. Well at least it seemed like it, that was what all they hype was for in the first place. The team moved through the darkness like shadows given form, their footsteps silent against the cracked concrete. As trained professionals, this much was a piece of cake but it was also their duty to make sure they went unseen. Everything seemed to be going smoothly, a bit too easy. The loading bay loomed ahead, its massive doors gaping open like the mouth of some great beast, swallowing the pale moonlight that filtered through the clouds.Cross led the way, her movements fluid and precise, her weapon held low and ready. Saul followed close behind, his heart hammering against his ribs, his breath coming in shallow, controlled bursts. The night air was cool against his face, carrying the faint scent of diesel, damp earth and a sour metallic odor that made his stomach tighten.They had studied the layout and had traced every entry point on the schematics whi
Chapter 180. Showdown.
It matched the proportion and design of the vans they had encountered in the past: the same boxy shape, the same reinforced frame. Only this one had a different paint job, the dark exterior replaced by a nondescript white.Saul's eyes went serious. There was no mistaking it. The shape, the design, the subtle modifications that made it different from a standard commercial vehicle. This was where they needed to be."That's them," he said, his voice certain. "That's the same type of van."Cross held his gaze for a moment, her expression unreadable. Then she nodded sharply."Contact the other team," she ordered Chen. "Tell them to join the team at the suspected site. We'll meet them there."Chen's fingers flew across the tablet, sending the message. Cross turned to face the rest of the team, her voice low but commanding."We're splitting up. Three of you stay behind and conduct the sweep of this building. Make sure we don't miss anything. Once you're done, join us at the suspected prope
