Chapter 3

All three of the squad load into an armored sedan made of all black to blend in with the night Winter driving. Not one hole out to see, instead, there are cameras in the outside armor plates allowing for 360-degree vision. After a short 40 minute drive, they reach the outskirts of the town and get out to avoid drawing attention.

"So what's the plan?" Lyken says with a serious tone.

"The plan is that we will make our way into the Village killing everyone on the outskirts and going in to kill people in the middle as stealthily as possible," Winter says pulling out a map and showing where they will be heading. Both Lyken and Jackson nod following Winter as they all enter the outskirts of the village. Going from house to house shooting everyone with suppressed weapons, eventually getting closer to the center of the town.

"Are these guys really Terrorist, Six has never been wrong before but what if they aren't." Lyken whispers in a nervous and guilty tone not noticing a red light flash on his vest.

"They haven't been wrong before no point in doubting them now and we have already killed multiple families, so even if we stopped killing them we would still be unredeemable." Winter says Jackson nodding in agreement aswell.

"Yeah I don't know what I was thinking." Lyken says shaking his head and getting focused again. They continue clearing houses and are at this point halfway through the Village having killed around 20 people. Then they hear a scream rushing back to one of the houses they miss they immediately see a little Girl around 12.

"Jackson you handle the little girl get her to stop screaming, we need to talk I don't think we should kill her I can't bring myself to do it." Winter says looking both of them in the eyes.

"You do know this is insubordination and if we are found out we aren't getting a light punishment." Jackson says in a aggressive tone towards both Winter and Lyken

"Well then we just need to not get found out either way I'm not killing a 12 year old child." Winter says Lyken also agreeing with him.

"So you had no problem with all the adults we killed but one child is enough to stop you?" Jackson says in a disbelieving tone.

"Let's just let her go, we can kill the rest of the people and if she's smart she will know how to live." Winter firmly states leaving no room for negotiation.

"Understood." Both Lyken and Jackson say in unison, Leaving the child the whole squad moves to kill everyone else in the village with haste. After clearing there last house they burn down a few houses and get in the Armored car driving back to the city. With a deep pressing silence in between the three of them. Finally arriving they go back to the same hotel they stayed at two nights ago. They walk up to a smiling receptionist who noticed the gear on them.

"Welcome you were expected you are scheduled to meet at room 324 but you can take a rest and go there in the morning here's the keycard for rooms 325, 326 and 327." The Above average looking receptionist with a black skirt and black button down shirt on says. Sliding 3 Black Keycards laced with silver lines on it to them.

"Thanks." Lyken responds weakly due to the Dark mood between the three squad mates. They head upstairs splitting off to their respective rooms each deciding to sleep in preparation for tomorrow.

Winter Sees all around him flames and gunshots are ringing out, Both Lyken and Jackson are hiding behind some crates.

"Winter what are you doing get down! Get down and help us shoot back." Jackson yells over the sound of crackling flames and gunshots passing by. Winter peeks Over the crates bug can't tell what they are shooting at all, he sees is smoke and flames he can't even tell where the bullets are coming from. Suddenly shots stop coming from his side and Lyken screams, Winter looks over to see Jackson part of his head blown off and a red flash happens on his vest. Winter wakes up in a cold sweat from the nightmare looking around disoriented. he checks his watch and sees its 6:32AM and he's in his bed covers and pillows strewn around the room. He was thrashing around in his sleep. He decides to put on some normal clothes so that way he can go to see everyone else. Heading out into the hallway he knocks on Lyken door since he is directly across from him. After getting no answer for a few minutes he knocks on Jackson's door and it opened immediately. Lykens face peaking through.

"Come in, me and Jackson are talking right now did you have the same nightmare we had." Lyken says leading me into the living room where both him and Jackson were sitting down.

"Yeah I had the same dream, Jackson died and flames were everywhere it was so odd." Winter says with a slightly worried tone.

"We has the same dream except for me Lyken was shot, and for Lyken you were Shot." Jackson says with a thoughtful expression.

"There is no way this means nothing what do we do now?" Lyken says to both of them.
