The operation went smoothly with the team surrounding the entire hospital, waiting for Chris to make his move. Mia, Becca and Darren were dressed like patients roaming the third floor. Doug stood by waiting for Matt’s orders. Erin and Reina sat in a car, which was parked in the lot waiting for their orders. Ted was called into the police station and could not make it to the operation.
“You think he’ll fall for it?” Mia asked through her headset.
“Let’s hope so.” Matt said with confidence.
Hours passed and still there were no strange visits. When the team was ready to call it a night, a white van marked ‘Exterminator’ came by and parked in front of the hospital “I see something.” Doug said to the team.
“Everyone to your positions.” Matt ordered.
It was Chris and a gang of four guys dressed in white jumpsuits looking like workers. They wore identical caps which hid half of their faces as they entered the hospital with ease. Looking around, they noticed the coast was clear. The entire hospital were full of white gurney patients and white jacket wearing doctors. The five exited the elevator doors with an aura of confidence, they turned to each other and with Chris’s nod, they split up.
“They just separated.” Darren noticed, his mustache tickled his nose but it was part of his disguise “What are they doing?”
“Maybe they’re checking for us?” Mia wondered out loud.
Matt tapped his chin thoughtfully “Ryan, give us the sign and we’ll clear the floor.”
Ryan was pinned under Michael’s bed, waiting for Chris to arrive “I don’t hear anything.” He whispered. But as he said the words, the door creek open.
“Well, well, well, we meet again.” Chris snickered at Michael’s lifeless body “I’ve been waiting for this day.” Pulling out a gun, he pointed it at Michael’s third eye “I can kill you right now.” Ryan prepared to show his face but Chris’s laugh told him to stop “But that would be too easy. I want Julie to witness this for herself.”
He turned and waited for his four assistants to come back “Its clear.” One guy nodded firmly.
“Good. They’re probably too busy crying over their precious Joe.” Chris snickered “Take him away.” He waved nonchalantly.
After the door closed, Ryan announced, “The eagle has taken the mouse. I repeat, the eagle has taken the mouse.”
“Action!” Matt called to his teammates.
Mia, Darren and Becca’s job were to clear the floor keeping patients out of the way while they gave Chris and his men a clean escape. They caused a few accidents along the way making doctors and nurses stop to check. Becca moved a couple of patients back to their room. At the corner of her eye, she could see Chris and his men moving fast into the elevator “They’re going down.” She announced.
“Doug, your cue.” Matt instructed.
“My pleasure.” Doug moved from his hiding place behind a tree as he placed a homing device under the van. Pulling out the control, he began to activate it “Two more seconds.” He breathed.
“They’re coming!” Erin announced when she noticed Chris walking Michael out with the four men. They had changed him into their matching uniforms “Doug, hurry!”
He pressed himself under the van “Stupid thing never works when you want it to!” he grumbled as he pressed the activation button on the device. He heard the doors sliding open as they gathered inside hurriedly “Come on, baby!” he whispered while punching in the code numbers. The red light came on indicating it was ready “Done.”
The car engine was ignited as Doug had no choice but to hang on. The car moved away with a screech “Doug, where are you?” Matt asked when he looked at his hidden camera screen.
“He’s under the car.” Reina announced as she pulled the car from the lot and followed the homing device control in Erin’s hands.
“Stay far girls.” Matt warned, “Doug, be careful, get off when you have a chance. If they hit a dip, you’re gone.”
His arms grew weary with each passing minute, they seemed to be speeding down a highway. The control still bit between his teeth as he held on for dear life. At one minute, the car made a complete stop, when he realized it was a red light, he dropped his body on the ground and laid straight and still until the car drove off. Moving quickly, he rushed to the left lane “God, I thought I’d never get off!”
“We’re coming Doug.” Erin said as she directed Reina to the direction of the van. Minutes late, the girls arrived, picking up Doug on the way “Well done.”
“Thanks.” He sat in the back of the black sedan “Where do you think they’re taking him?”
“Same place where Julie and Bonnie is kept.” Reina replied calmly.
“How do you know?” Becca asked suspiciously.
She smiled slyly “Because I know.”
Mia giggled through the headpiece “Becca, you need to get over that fear thing.”
Doug chuckled along “Hey Reina, you never told me your secret.”
“Doug Chung!” Becca growled.
“You might want to actually turn off your headset before you talk.” Darren snickered.
“Where are you exactly?” Matt asked as he followed the trail on the digital map screen.
“Remote area, barely any lights. Looks like a quiet town.” Doug reported.
“Wait, he’s stopping.” Erin pointed to the screen on her lap “I think he reached the destination.” She looked up and noticed Reina had not followed the trail “Reina, it’s on the left.”
“I know this place.” Reina replied as she took a detour around the bumpy road. They turned corners around trees and she finally stopped her car under a large oak tree, where the shadow blended them into the small forest.
“Where is this place?” Doug asked.
She smiled under the moonlight “Come on.” She got out of the car, leaving Erin and Doug looking at each other strangely. They followed her towards the lighted mansion. They snuck up towards the van and noticed the men were barely taking Michael out.
“Hurry!” Chris rushed as he looked around in a panic.
Reina walked around the van and showed herself while Erin reached out a hand to stop her, that was not part of the plan “Reina!” She hissed.
Clapping her hands in a slow rhythm, she smiled while Chris pulled out his gun at her “You…I thought you were dead?”
“Strange, I thought the same for you.” Reina snickered “What do you think you’re doing?”
“Erin, what the hell is going on??!” Matt exclaimed angrily. Their plan was to follow and wait for the right moment to attack.
She turned to Doug with widened eyes “We don’t know.” Erin replied quietly.
“Look who I brought.” Reina smiled as she whistled through her fingers “Come on out Erin, Doug. You remember Chris don’t you?” The two were forced to show their faces while Chris’s gun moved to Erin and then Doug, he was confused and not sure what to do “Steady there.” Reina commented when she noticed Chris’s shaky hands.
“Reina, what are you doing?” Erin hissed.
She turned to Erin with a wicked smile “Something I wanted to do for three years.” Pulling out her gun in a heartbeat, she pointed it at Erin’s head.
“Reina!” Doug cried while Reina turned on them and backed up until she stood next to Chris.
“Crap! I knew it was too good to be true!” Becca cursed when she listened on what was going on.
Matt grew nervous for his two agents “Team retrieve, we’re going to get them.”
Reina smiled when she heard the order “Not so fast Matt…” she turned to Chris “There’s a homing device under the van.” He nodded to one of the guys as they retrieved it and destroyed it “Aww…too bad. You can’t find us now.” She cooed mockingly.
“I can’t believe you, Reina.” Erin shook her head disappointedly “You’ve been playing us the whole time?”
She yawned, looking bored “Please, I wasn’t the idiot that fell for the I turned good scam. How could you ever believe that I would turn back to the team? You were the ones that caused me to go to jail! The horrible shit hole was not meant for humans. My only goal was to get out and get my revenge…And Mia…little naďve Mia, who always believed in me…what a joke.” She spat harshly, knowing that Mia was listening.
The team had retrieved in their hideout van as they listened to Reina’s hurtful words “How could you? I believed in you, Reina.” Mia replied through tears.
“She’s not worth your tears, Mia.” Darren comforted his wife.
“Boo hoo.” Reina smirked “What the hell are you standing here for?” she nodded at Chris “Take him inside.”
He grinned happily obliging “I’ll be glad to.” He nodded to the men as they ushered Michael inside.
Reina’s gun still pointed at them “Say you’re prayers.” She pulled back the trigger and prepared to shoot.
Doug reacted quickly as he pushed Erin behind the van before the bullet escaped its mouth. The shot was deafening as Matt and the rest were startled by the gunfire “Shit! Erin, Doug! Are you alright? Come in!”
The two knew it was impossible to hide forever as they made a mad dash to the car while shots continued to escape. Each missing them by a hair. They retrieved their own guns and exchanged bullets with Reina, it was too dark to aim causing them to miss half the shots “Damn, she’s really trying to kill us!” Doug cried as they hid behind the black sedan “She’s got the keys!”
Erin looked worriedly at her partner “We’re okay Matt, but we can’t get away. You have to come for us.”
“Can you give us directions?” Matt nodded to Darren to take over the wheel.
“Yeah, I think I can.” She replied.
Doug looked over the trunk of the car and noticed that Reina was running into the house “She’s gone. She went inside with them.”
“I’m going in.” Erin announced as she refilled her barrel with bullets.
“NO!” Matt ordered “It’s too dangerous. How are you going to defend yourself?”
“I’ll go with her.” Doug said.
Erin shook her head “No, you need to direct the team here. I’ll stall them. If they try to kill Michael, Julie or Bonnie, I won’t stand there and watch.”
“Erin, this is an order, you are not to leave from Doug’s side.” Matt said firmly while the van moved roughly down the highway.
She pulled out her headset and handed it to Doug “If I go down, I’m taking her with me.”
“But Erin…” he began but knew the girl was determined. She would not let anyone stop her. He watched her sprint towards the home “She left, Matt.” He said.
“Damn it!” Matt punched his fist into his palm.
“She’ll be alright.” Mia said with confidence “Erin is smart, she’ll know what to do.”
“I can’t believe she turned on us.” Darren sighed.
“I do.” Becca snickered “I’ve always known.”
Mia sighed, “She had us all fooled.”
Matt turned away, with a hurtful gaze “Yes…she did.”
