Wensday, 00:00 A.M, The lake near Clark's fortress, Norway

Everything seemed normal around the lake which had the secret tunnel under it. The sky was clear. Stars were shining brightly and the only sound was the sound of cold wind which was howling in the frozen valley and troubled the soon be frozen surface of the lake, make a mixture of starlight on top of it, but a little bit down, under the surface of the lake, the force of GSS was swimming toward the hidden passage soundlessly. 

The latex fabric of their swimming clothes was protecting them from the coldness of the frozen water. They had wrapped their weapons in waterproof bags and their night vision lenses were helping them to follow their leader and not get lost. 

Soon, they were in the cave and many heads slowly came out of the surface of the water. Harris had just diactivated the cameras and the guards were only seeing duplicate images. 

Susan swam to the port and soon all of her group was out and ready. She took her M19 in her hand and attached a silencer to it and looked at Bishop beside her. He nodded and beckoned for one of their men. He quickly went force and soon picked the lock and nodded to Susan. 

"Harris, we are waiting for your signal." said Susan quietly. 

"The aisle behind is empty. Go." Said Harris and the force of GSS went out of the cave and into the fortress and immediately divided into two groups. One went to the left and the other went to the right. 

Everyone could remember their boss's orders a few hours ago back in the warehouse.

Susan had stood on top of a stage with a miniature map of the mountain hovering next to her. All of her people had been watching her silently. "The fortress is like a pyramid," she said. "It has 7 floors up to the top of the mountain. Two staircases are on the left and right side of each floor with many elevators coming up and down in middle. But of course, we cannot use them, because they will shut down the power of them as soon as they found out they have a breach in their fortress, and let me say that won't last long. They have guards on every level, guarding day and night. We will attack by midnight, cause the number of guards is less than the other times. We will attack quick and fast to use most of their unawareness. The most important parts of the fortress are labs, barracks, and the main control room. We will come out from the zero floor. The barracks are on the first floor. Harris will lock the soldiers in. He will deactivate the electric lock system and it will take at least 5 minutes for them to come out manually. I want half of the B group to cover the doors of the barracks and disarm them as soon as they came out. The rest will continue to come up to the fourth level and will join the A team and take the Labs. Do not free the hostage. He must be so dangerous."

But the soundless plan did not last long for even at midnight the number of guards of the fortress was still too many and the aisles were long and GSS force has to pass a little of the aisles before reaching the next staircase because of the pyramid shape of the fortress.
