"Alex, the distraction. Nera, the scout. Jinx, the sniper. Together, the three are an unstoppable force!"

"Alex! If you don't shut up i'll-"

"Slap me? I know, I know."

"Can we just please just get on with the mission girls? We have a deadline to meet and I don't want to say we missed it because of in-fighting." Nera said over the radio.

"Now, Alex, you know what you're supposed to do?"

"Yup!" came the happy reply.

"And, Jinx?"

"Duh."

Nera rolled her eyes as she looked out to Alex who was casually walking up to the enemy patrol, dropping a flash bang in the middle of them before running back as the blast went off. They stumbled back and she took the advantage to pull out her MP5, aimed down the sight, and got all but one, whose death was delivered by Jinx and her AWP.

Alex looked in Jinx's general direction "That was my kill!"

Jinx just shrugged "you took too long."

Nera came out from her spot next to a building and stood next to Alex, moving her head from side to side

"Alright stop. Alex, you okay? You didn't look at the light did you?"

"Totally, best light show ever, even better than fourth of July fireworks. Come on Nera, I'm not a kid anymore." she pulled her face away from Nera's hands.

"I can't help it. I hate that you use flashbangs. I know what they do to your eyes. Call me paranoid."

"Well, you're paranoid." Alex said looking around at the five bodies.

"Think we're close?"

"No." Jinx answered over the radio, "there are only five bodies, and they had no perimeter judging by their movements."

"Good observation, Jinx, glad to see you actually use some of the skills you were taught."

Jinx was stuck between taking it as a compliment or an insult, so she stayed quiet. Nera laughed at Jinx's silence. She looked around,

"Maybe they were trying to rendezvous with someone? Jinx see what's out to the west. Keep radio silence but don't hesitate to call for help."

"Got it. See you two slow pokes ahead."

"Careful. They might already know we're here."

"I know." Jinx cut the radio with a role of her eyes before Nera could go on nagging.

Jinx packed up her AWP and headed off west. Nera turned to Alex who was picking up ammo for their guns "So now what?"

"We follow. She maybe our eyes but blind eyes to the ground. We also need to be careful ourselves."

Alex jumped up "Let's go!"

She started walking in the opposite direction but stopped when she didn't hear the extra footsteps. She looked behind her to see Nera shaking her head and started walking the right direction. Alex ran up behind her and ated like nothing ever happened.

Jinx could hear guns, talking, and machinery ahead. She got down onto her stomach and crawled slowly to the edge of a small cliff face. Tan tents for miles, over thousands of men in army suites walking around, going in and out of tents. She huffed, awesome! An enemy camp, now what? The dude could be anywhere! This would explain why each checkpoint was harder to get through. She thunked her head in her hands and reached up to her ear,
