THE LIGHT

Secrets and missions

Richard

I woke up at around 4AM and looked at my surroundings only to find out that am at the warehouse, i stood up and went to the shower and showered then changed my clothes. A lot is on my mind and this whole thing is not adding up. I mean who would have big enough balls to put a target on the Cobras like that? I cracked my head for answers but i got none. I walked up to Buttons work station and he was glued on the screen, he didn't even hear me enter. "Anything?" i asked " oh you are awake" he says "Yeah" that's all i could say. "who did Rick kill last night?" what a stupid question to ask "you tracked me so you know." he does so i don't know what the deal is with the stupid question. " i did and i cleaned up your mess too" he says " what did you do?" i asked and he knows am referring to the boy. " i made things happen just know that the boy is safe with his mother" well that's a relief, you see Buttons is not just a tech guy but he cleans after Rick as well. I am lucky to have a man like him on my team, his loyal me and that's why my father brought him here. He hand picked Buttons but don't ask me from where because he never said, but since he joined us his been loyal and i appreciate that about him, we need more people like Buttons in this kind of business. " now tell me you got something" i am crossing fingers at this point, i need something, anything to point me to the right direction. "I did and you wont believe what i found" f**k! i hope whoever did this has life insurance. " what did you find?" i asked " well what i found out is that the message that was sent to the other gangs came from an anonymous person but get this when i dug deeper i found out it was created in the dark web, then i tracked it there and found out that the system used is the exact same system we use but the difference is that we only use it for the Reinforcement team."  this is bad, really, really bad. "s**t! i think someone on the Reinforcement team has gone rogue." i say to Buttons already thinking of the consequences of having a rogue on our special teams. " That's not good man, i mean that team is the one that holds a lot of secrets about this organisation and we cant afford something like this." i know too well what he means. "I know, which is why i need to send a message to the commander through our line." i say to Buttons. " Code?" he asks "Blue for now until we find out more." i say in hopes that this is not as bad as it looks. " On it!" he says. The commander and i have a special line we communicate on which on my side Buttons is in charge of, it's a safe and secure line. I have never met him face to face and he doesn't know me. Only my father knew him but when he started training me he created that line for us to communicate. When i asked to meet the commander my father said we don't have to meet each other because we won't be friends but our teams will work together from time to time, he said he told the commander the same thing but i doubt he doesn't know me. Even when he died he left me this team and the commander the Reinforcement team. The lawyer did mention that he had two wills but i guess the one i didn't get went to the commander. As you heard before we communicate with codes, Blue means we might be under threat and investigations need to be done, Red means we are under attack and need back up. Black means the Feds are onto us. Which reminds me, we need to get more FBI and Interpol agents on our books which is something i need to talk to the commander about. Another thing is that after my father died no new General was appointed so a lot of people might think we are vulnerable because of that.

We are in Japan for our mission, we came in as tourists but the Yakuza men and snitches are following us around and pitching up everywhere we are. This means the Yakuza might have caught wind that we are here but since they don't know us they are keeping an eye on everyone coming into the country. If things continue this way we are going home without completing the mission, i did promise Shane that i will be coming back and am keeping that promise whether the commander likes it or not. I wonder who the General will be now since the other one died according to the commander but we have never seen him so how can we believe his dead? Anyway we were just told that we will have a new General and that was it. "Man i don't think we will be able to pull this mission off." says Mike my second in command "I know but we have never failed before, as much as i want to go home safe we have to complete this mission or the other team gets our job and we get theirs." my team feels superior to Shane's team for some reason so me saying that i know they will never want for that to happen. "that would be a huge demotion" says Tatenda a Zimbabwean guy, his my third. "we don't know that since we don't know what missions they get" i defend "Yeah, they might be getting better missions than we do." says Mike " what about the Yakuza's? i mean we cant afford to f**k this mission up since we haven't made progress with Jackson Corp." says Tatenda and his right we cant f**k up on both. "You right! tonight is our last chance to get this done, we are doing it at the engagement party." i say determined. " i will cover us with guards uniforms to blend in." Tatenda says. "Good!" we spent the afternoon sorting out what we will need, in the evening we left the hotel discreetly making sure we are not followed. We drove to the location but parked close to the back and got out of the cars and walked to the premises and sneaked in. The party had already started so we scattered looking for the target, my eyes found her in front with her fiance, i signaled the guys and they followed my eyes and spotted her. We moved around like the guards but kept our eyes on her also avoiding looking up as we would be spotted quickly, who wouldn't spot black guys among Japanese? I saw her leaving the front and moving to the side of the restrooms and i followed her making sure that i stay unnoticed. " we have been made!!" shouted Mike behind me, i took one look back and what i saw made us all run to different directions, this was a strategy to keep the guards busy. I ran the direction i was headed and the girl was still standing there maybe trying to figure out what was going on. When i got to her i grabbed her arm and started running with her screaming asking for help and inviting more eyes and guards on me. But i didn't care i had to get out of there, a guard appeared out of nowhere and sliced my arm with a merchant, i turned and kicked him hard and he stumbled and hit the wall with his back but i didn't wait for him to recover i ran. I felt a sting on my back but i didn't look back i still continued to run dragging the girl. I felt another one and pain shoots through my whole body and i felt my back getting wet but the adrenaline was too much for me to stop but i could feel something stuck on my back. It might be a knife but i though i will deal with it later. I got to where we parked and a threw her into an already opened car door and the car drove off. I also got into Tatenda's bike that was there and i speed off. I made a mistake of looking back and i saw a flood of Yakuza men behind us, fear engulfed me and i stepped on it. We separated as i took a different route to the airport, which i barely made it to because i was losing blood and fast. When i got there the jet was already running, i left the bike running and ran to the jet with the Yakuza's right behind me.
