Chapter 9

Taylor

"I thought you'd see it our way," He chimes as he turns back toward the screen and presses a red button. "What'd you just do?" I ask cautiously. "I called in my best recruits. They'll help you on the mission. And oh, I didn't tell you. The mission is today. At 6:50 Elenor will be at a meet and greet for his latest invention or whatever he calls his irrelevant creations," He says. I look at my watch. Six O'Clock. "You'll capture him, force him to tell you where the black box is, retrieve it, then execute him. Me and Amanda will be guiding you through it the whole way," He says handing me another earpiece. "I have to... kill him?" I question. Percy nods. "Don't worry Taylor. You'll be a natural." I put it on and look at the screen... At Princeton. "Before I do this... You have to let him go. I don't trust you guys." Percy looks at me. "Hey, you can't blame me, you guys don't trust me either," I state. He nods in agreement. "What do you want to happen to him then?" He reasons. "I want him to come with me. On the mission. I'm not doing it unless I know he's okay," I say folding my arms. "Okay... But we'll have to install a chip." He says walking away from me and opening a big black drawer. I scrunch my eyebrows in confusion. A chip? "He will put it in his ear. And if you try anything, like run away, mess up the mission, or hide him. It will send a high frequency bolt of energy through his body, that will potentially stop his heart. So, think wisely," He says calmly, taking out a much smaller ear chip. I look at it worriedly. "Deal?" He asks raising an eyebrow. I stand there for a minute before letting out a shaky breath and looking him straight in his eyes cold, devilish eyes. "Deal."

"Micheal here will drive you to your destination. And here's your group of recruits," She says motioning to probably a dozen recruits filling their guns with ammo. "I'm sure Elenor will have many of his best guards surrounding the perimeter. They'll help you take them down." Amanda tells me as we walk outside of Division. I look at Micheal next to me and give a small "Hi." He nods and looks ahead. He was completely possessed by them. He looked like he had no class of emotions. Like a robot. He only reacts to commands... I look at Amanda and put my hand in front of her, making her stop. "Where's Princeton?" I ask. She rolls her eyes and clicks on her ear piece. "Percy, yes. Send out Jacob. Make sure he's escorted," She says clicking it back off. I turn around and watch the doors open as two guards escort Princeton outside and down the stairs, pushing him toward me violently. I look at him worriedly as he gives me a weak smile. I sigh and I pull him into a close hug. "I'm so sorry," I whisper. "I already told you," He says as his arms wrap around me. "It's okay," He whispers back. "Hurry up!" Amanda screams at us, making him flinch. I pull away and roll my eyes. "Stupid bitch," I mumble as we get in the car. My heart starts to race as we drive away from Division. I can't believe I'm doing this...

"Taylor are you there?" A voice says in my ear piece. I look at Micheal. "Who's this?" I whisper. His voice was unfamiliar. "Birkhoff, our head technician. Just talk. He'll be leading through out this mission instead of Percy and Amanda," He answers. I nod and look ahead. "Yeah, I'm here," I say. "Okay," He says as the sound of a keyboard fills my ear. "You guys are entering the north entrance. There are five guards in your way. Take the suits out the back of the car. You guys are posing as the 7 o'clock area security," He tells me. I turn off my earpiece as the car begins to slow down and we all get out. "What'd he say?" Micheal asks as him and Prince follow me to the back of the car. But before I can answer another black vehicle drives up behind us and the recruits get out. One of them walks up to me and turns his earpiece on. "We're here. Following procedure," He states before turning it off and looking at me, as if I were supposed to do something. "Your supposed to tell us what Birkhoff said," Micheal whispers. "Oh, yeah... So, Birkhoff said we'll have to put on these suits," I say opening the back of the car. "And pose as the 7 o'clock area security. There's about five guards in our way of getting in," I announce as I take the suits out and the recruits take theirs and slip them on under five seconds. I stand there in awe for a moment, before slipping mine on and zipping it up as well. "Uhh..." I say looking at Micheal. "Don't we need-" "Guns? Here you go," He answers taking out enormous guns from the passengers seat of the car. I take one and hand Prince one. "Taylor?" Birkhoff asks from the earpiece. "Yeah?" I ask, clicking it on. "Two guards are coming your way," He says. I turn my ear piece off as the recruits begin shooting. I quickly back up against the car as the guards start shooting at us. "Shit," I mumble as I realize there was no ammo in the gun. Micheal throws me some and I shove it in and begin firing. I hit one of the guards in the head and Micheal hits the other in the leg. "Phew," I say looking over at him. "Yeah, there's more. A group of guards heard the shots, and their coming your way," Birkhoff says to me as the sound of a keyboard typing fills my ear once again. I take a deep breath before grabbing Prince's hand and running to the front of the car and behind a trail of bushes. A recruit taps me on my shoulder. "We should infiltrate from different routes and meet at the east wing," She says to me. I look at Micheal. "Where's the-" "I know where that is, good idea. Go. Me, Taylor, and Princeton will stay here and take these guards down," Micheal says to the girl. "Take this," He says handing her a white earpiece. "Get commands and directions from Birkhoff. Inform us if there's any trouble." He states before they all leave. I look at Prince. "You okay?" I ask. He nods and looks up over the bushes at the group of about... Six guards coming our way. "Ready?" I ask Micheal. "Ready," He replies before getting up and shooting. Me and Prince get up and begin shooting also. I hit one right in the shoulder before he shoots and almost hits me in the arm making me duck down again. "You okay?" Prince yells over the fires. "Yeah," I say, loud enough so he can here me. I stop hyperventilating before standing up again and shooting like a wild maniac. Luckily hitting two of them in the chest. Three down. Three to go. Micheal runs out of ammo after shooting one in the leg. I run to the car and get enough out and throw him some before stashing some in my pockets. He shoots a guard in the arm and suddenly the shooting ceases. "Where's the sixth one?" Prince asks Micheal. Micheal turns to me and yells "Duck!" before shooting straight toward my head. I duck and nearly have a heart attack as the sixth guard drops the huge rock he was about to bash me in the head with and falls over. I look at Prince and Micheal in complete and utter fear. "Are you guys clear?" Birkhoff asks in my ear. I roll my eyes before standing up once again. "Yes," I breathe. "What next? We fight the U.S Marines?" I ask sarcastically before throwing Prince and Micheal more ammo and filling mine. "No, well, maybe... But now you have to enter that black door that should be ahead of you and don't draw much attention. Your the 7 o'clock security. Not tactical assassins," He says. I sigh and turn off my earpiece. "Come on."
