"So is Lincoln gonna meet us there?" Gio ask.

  "Ya, we agreed to meet outside the harbor." I tell him.


Two weeks have passed and we were finally ready to infiltrate the harbor. I still don't know who Lincoln was bringing, and I just hoped it wasn't Mia. This mission was gonna be a dangerous one, I can't afford to be distracted.

  I parked the car and waited for Lincoln to show up. I looked at my phone and the time read 11:40.p.m. "He's here." Jarod says looking out the window.

   We all got out and Lincoln parks his car next to ours. Him and DJ get out of the vehicle, and I feel a sense of relief when he locks his car, showing no one else will be joining.

   "Ready?" I say.

  "Ya." He says, but his face looked a little uneasy. We walk towards the harbor and sure enough Henrys men were everywhere. We hid behind a semi truck and I spotted some more men on the roof top.

  "We need someone to take care of the men on the roof." I say.

  "It's already covered." Lincoln says.

  "Is David up there?"
     

  DJ smiles, but Lincoln still looks uneasy, more like really stressed out for some reason. I wondered if he knew something we didn't, or maybe he was worried about David. Although David is a good fighter, knowing from past experience.


   "Ok, well since the top is taken care of, Jarod, Emily and Lincoln, you guys take care of the men on the left side of the entrance. Katie, Gio and I will take the right side." I say.

  "What about me?" DJ says. 

  "You're gonna be our eyes, make sure that we don't get spotted." I tell him. He has a bummed look on his face, but honestly I can't trust DJ. I never went on a mission with him, and he was also a little on the younger side for missions like this.


    We all split up and my group takes the front gate while Lincoln takes the side entrance. We look to make sure that no Reapers were near and I quickly melt the gate with my hands. I guess I kinda stole that trick from Mia, but it's actually quite handy.

   We carefully walked into the harbor and kept our eyes out for any Reapers. I motioned my group to spread out and we all went different ways to take down the Reapers that were near.

  We agreed to kill all the Reapers outside first, so that when we infiltrate the building we will only have to deal with the ones inside. We had to stay as quiet as possible so we didn't alert the rest of them, but it's not easy when you're physically fighting with them.


  One of the Reapers were walking my way. I hid in the shadows until he got close enough for me to grab him. I wrapped my hand around his mouth and stab him in neck. His body went limp and he drops the gun in his hands. I wasn't fast enough to grab the gun before it fell and hit one of the metal containers.

   I placed the body on the floor and saw two Reapers heading my way. They had their guns pointed at me and now I was trapped. I could just burn them both and risk blowing our cover, or I could surrender myself to them and hope the rest of the guys can handle it.


   Before I could make a decision I see both their guns being blown out of their hands. I took this as an opportunity and I ran over to them and punched one in the face, knocking him out. I quickly grab the other guy by the throat preventing him from yelling, choking him till he passes out.

  Once the coast was clear I looked behind me to see DJ squatting on one of the crates and waving at me like a little child. I guess he ain't that bad.
