Helluva Boss Codename Ghost

Snatch and grab

"Look at me," I growled. forcing his face up to me. I connected my mind to his.

"Where's Emily?".

"She's in the next room. we're going to be working on her next. "

"Good, you're getting us into that room now move." I pushed him into the hallway. He led us down to the last door and opened it for us, heading inside.

"Hey, jonesy," the voice of the doctor inside sounds. "ready to get start-?" he turns and sees me put a bullet into the back of his head while Moxxie puts a bullet between his. Emily's on the table strapped but conscience. I held up my hand to show I wasn't going to hurt her. I lock my gaze with her.

"It's ok, Emily, we're here to rescue you," I say, freeing her restraints.

"Ok,"she says in her dream-like state.

"Just follow us and do what we say. You're gonna be fine. "

"I understand."

"Millie, we have the girl we're heading back."

"Copy guys, more goons entered the building it's getting hairy up here."

"Copy that were on our way."
I led Emily down the hallway back to the main room. We rounded the corner just as three men came down the stairs blocking the exit. they fired in our direction, I pulled Emily to the side before the bullets struck. I tossed a stun grenade into the middle of the group, blinding them.
Moxxie peers out nailing each of them.
we get her to the stairs and up into the bar, covering every corner and shadow. Millie was in the center among a pile of bodies.

"Ok boys, let's roll."
Moxxie led the way with me behind him. Millie stayed with the protectee. as we headed outside, Moxxie and I had Millie hold back while Moxxie and I cleared the immediate area. When we ensure the area is clear, I wave Millie over to us, and she takes Emily outside, making her way to us.
When we reconvene, Moxxie pulls out his phone, opening the map he made.

We headed to the extraction point, which was a few yards away from the bar. Moxxie pressed the beacon the client gave to us, signaling Emily's extraction.

"Ok now we wait."
The client said the moment the beacon is pressed, a vehicle would arrive to retrieve Emily. All we have you do now is wait.
No sooner does Moxxie say that a group of armed gunmen come out of an adjacent alley they notice us raising their weapons. Millie dodges in time behind me, making her way behind an overturned car.

Moxxie climbs a pipe heading up to the roof.
I had Emily get behind a nearby dumpster in the meantime.

"STAY HERE AND KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN!" I yell over the gunfire.
I take up a position on the left corner while Millie takes the right.
I take out my Glock and throw it and the mags to her, which she catches. She nods her thanks.

With overlapping fire from the left/right/top, we created an effective field of fire. We spent the next several minutes exchanging fire with waves of enemy gunmen. Millie alternated between her throwing knives and then her bullets. One would wound while the other would land a kill shot, we continued for another few minutes more, after our last goon was dropped I looked over at Millie.

"Mills ammo check!"

"Last mag!"

"Same, Mox?".

"Last one"

"Copy that. until we get out of this, everybody only uses two rounds per target, one shoots to drop the target to the ground, and the other finishes him off. "

After another minute, five more goons show up and charge down the alley firing at us. We exposed ourselves firing into them within seconds, and each of them was dead. I check my weapon. I'm down to my last two rounds.

"HOW MANY?" I called out.

"TWO."

"LAST ONE".
A car pulls up behind our position. Several men get out with guns drawn.

"Don't shoot, we're here to help," says the driver. I recognize him in the file.
The other men take up positions outside the vehicle, covering the alley.
I go behind the dumpster and retrieve Emily. I take her to the car as M/M rejoins us. We get Emily into the vehicle, and the rest of the gunmen retreat to the vehicle.

"Great work, guys" he says, "get yourselves home. We'll take it from here. "

I dialed Blitz's number. "Boss, we're good here. Let's go home,"
In moments, the portal arrives as the car pulls away. We gather our things and launch ourselves through the portal.

We landed in the back room of the office, and the portal closed as more goons showed up.
we get up and dust ourselves off.

"Well that was fucking crazy" I say laughing.

"Yeah it was sugar," says Millie, passing me my Glock. I placed it in my ankle holster.

"Adrian, you good?". asks Moxxie

"Solid"

"I'll say it was," says the voice of Blitz.
"Guys I just got off the phone with the client you guys fucking rocked that job
the payment went through plus a bonus. what say we hit the dive down the street?".

"Thanks, sir, but it's been a long week, maybe another time," says Millie

"No, Blitz," I say

"Ugh, fine fuddy duddys, guess I'm drinking alone tonight."
he leaves the room,
M/M gather their things together.

"Are you coming, Adrian?". asks Moxxie

"Nah, that last job took a lot outta me. I'm gonna sit for a few minutes before I head out. "

"Yeah, I feel you honey, anyways we're gonna head out, see you on monday."

"Bye, Adrian."

"Later, guys." They both walk out, closing the door behind them. Eventually, I hear the front door open and close.
I plop down on the sofa sitting there. I stretch my legs, feeling my body tighten painfully and then relieve when I relax.
I tilted my head back, shutting my eyes, then took a deep breath. The heat in the office and the comfortable nature of the sofa made this an irresistible opportunity. I feel the fatigue of my day hit me, and before I know it, I ...I....
