4 The Knight is Injured

As soon as the initial surge of the people coming out of the hidden passage went down,Knight jumped from the tree and stealthily moved towards the opening.Imagining the place had been suddenly abandoned would have been foolish so Knight chose to hide behind a barrack and observe first.He did not have much time if he wanted to go back with his comrades and he needed to distract and bring back the people who had gone after his comrades.

Stealthily moving ahead,he spied the machine guns sitting lying there.Picking up two, he ran back towards the forest and set up the two guns at a little distance from each other.Using the fine threads,he tied the triggers and moved back to his position.As soon as the thread was pulled,the machine guns went off with a loud sound sending bullets flying.Assuming there was another attack,all the terrorists rushed back while those inside rushed out.Throwing a smoke bomb,near the entrance,Knight went inside the passage.

The inside was not what he had imagined.This was not a storage as he had imagined.It was a bloody surveillance spot!The room was installed with high capacity and high tech surveillance machinery.Even the spot that their helicopter was supposed to land had been marked.They had been expecting them!but they had not expected that the TL would not try to capture them alive as per orders!But they had the entire plan of the elite forces!This meant that someone higher up was a traitor!He did not believe that anyone in his team would be a traitor!His people were in danger..this was a trap!

Observing the many scenes,he noticed that his comrades were at least a few minutes away before they would set into the trap.In his mike he shouted,"The Queen is beautiful!The queen in beautiful."

Luckily their signals were connected and everyone heard the SOS that he had given!The team leader and the eight other commandos became even more alert and instead of going forward started going around.Their only escape was the helicopter but if that was rigged then they would die here.

Knight studied the scenes while he clicked to zoom in the cameras.There was only one thing bothering him.Why was this room left empty?

He played back the feed to a few minutes back and saw the reason.It seemed somebody had a vendetta as well.During the chaos that Knight had created,a young boy had also entered this place and attacked the only man in this room.He turned to look at the cupboard where the boy was hiding and said into the mike,"We have a change of plans.."Field,we will be leaving here on foot.Check the place for mines.This is an ambush setup.Trace the way you have come!They will soon realize that we have changed routes.I need you to set up mines and smaller bombs along the way that can be detonated or diffused from a distance."

Just then Knight opened the door of the cupboard expecting to see a scared boy but to his shock,this was another passageway..that led to a car hidden under the leaves.Turning back,he took out a hard disk and copied all the data on the devices here and then opening his own small device mailed them a wonderful virus.As the data was copied,Knight set up a small bomb with RDX and prepared to take off.Smiling and thanking the fates,he immediately got back and hot wired the car driving through the leaves towards the small trail.As he was about to reach the location of his team,he said,"Hop in with the knight."So they would know that he was the one in the car.By now the terrorists had already realized that something was wrong with the plan and expertly tracked the invaders.

The luck was on their side and after circling around the forest,they found their chopper with the pilot gravely injured.Some of the terrorists that were standing guard around the escape route were shot in the head with minimum effort..But these people were elite soldiers and all had their flying licenses.However it was only Choppy who could fly through this war zone safely.As all of them jumped into the helicopter,more terrorists had reached the place.

Knight and Shot who was the team leader were the only ones left on the ground and were covering the helicopter so that it could take off..After a few seconds,Choppy had lifted the helicopter safely and asked Shot and Knight to jump in.Shot who had less terrorists on his side continued to shoot as he jumped behind.Time was of essence and they had to lift or the helicopter could be damaged making them all sitting ducks.The helicopter started to rise higher and at the last moment Knight jumped up and two of his comrades caught hold of his hand to pull him up.

However,he could be pulled up,two gun shots had lodged into his thigh while another on his calf
