Let It Begin

On the outskirts of Nova City, in a building not that far from the warehouse where Lillian who was Conor's wife was supposed to be. Reed, Aily and a group of shade operatives were sitting around a

wooden table. The leader of the shade operative were reporting on what they documented over the three hours of surveillance.

The person who was in charge of the surveillance team watching the warehouse was a man named Tyler West. He was one of the first few people who Reed recruited outside of the Gregory Orphanage. How Reed and Tyler met was similarly close to how Reed met Aily. Their stories of course were different, Tyler was a former soldier of the Aneis Military. The reason he wasn't part of the Aneis Military anymore was due to him being medically discharged from the Aneis Military.

After leaving the army, Tyler had a hard time finding a place to work. The places he could work gave him a negligible amount of income, barely allowing him to make a living. It was because of that negligible income Tyler had to live on the streets, and it was because of that Tyler met Reed.

Tyler was twenty-three years old male with brown hair and young looking face with no scar on it. For clothing he was wearing a white shirt along with a black coat on him and was wearing cargo pants. He also had a traditional silver watch on his left hand.

"Boss, during out three hours of watching over the warehouse, the only interesting thing that happened over the duration of three hours was a group of trunks transporting something to the warehouse. We did attempt to figure out what but security was too tight so we had to abort the mission. The only thing we could do in the end was watch what being brought into the warehouse."

Reed who was sitting across from Tyler was tapping his right hand's finger on the table who was attentively listening to Tyler said when Tyler finished speaking, " Were you able to get images of the cargo that was being brought into the warehouse?"

"Yes we did," Tyler slid a portfolio towards Reed. Reed opened up the portfolio which were filled with pictures and looked at them. On the pictures were people carrying wooden boxes of various sizes, small, medium, large, you name it. Seeing these wooden boxes made Reed curious of what those wooden boxes were carrying. Just what did the warehouse hold to justify the need to use such a high amount of manpower to protect the warehouse.

Reed had many ideas of what the boxes could hold, but they were ideas in the end. He would only know whats inside the warehouse until he sees it for himself. Placing back the photos in the portfolio and looked up at Tyler. " How many people are in your team and what are you guys equipped with?"

"I have six people including myself and we're all equipped with a combat knife and a pistol. However boss if your thinking of infiltrating the warehouse, I think you should reconsider it. The people that are patrolling the outside of the warehouse total to thirty-four people, and that's just the outside! Who knows how many more people are inside the warehouse, maybe ten or twenty more people are inside the warehouse. In total there would almost be sixty guards protecting the warehouse and not to forget that you want us to infiltrate in broad daylight, increasing the chances of us being caught. Boss please reconsider."

Knowing that Reed was thinking of infiltrating the warehouse, Tyler wanted Reed to reconsider as he had no faith in such a operation having a single chance of success. It was not because he didn't have faith in the team or didn't underestimate Reed's or Aily's abilities as he experienced their abilities first hand when he first met them several years back. It was because the operation itself was thought of on the spot with no sort of planning at all.

Reed of course understood why Tyler was against he plan on infiltrating the warehouse in broad daylight as anyone with a brain would be against it. However Reed had years of experience under his belt when it came to daylight infiltration with people amounting to one-hundred or more people.

Reed looked at Tyler with his eyes pure of confidence, " You guys won't be infiltrating the place, I will."

"There is no way in hell you are going in al-," Tyler protested against Reed's plan but was cut off by Reed before he could finish speaking.

"My thoughts are final and there is nothing in the world that would make me reconsider. Trust me Tyler, with only me taking part of the infiltration, I'm pretty sure I can get in without getting caught.

Tyler knew that any more words or protest would mean nothing to Reed, causing Tyler to sigh in defeat. "Your the boss, what do you want us to do while you infiltrate the warehouse?"

Reed smiled and began to explain what was going to happen.

----

"Is everyone in position?" Reed said, speaking to an ear piece which was on his left ear. At this moment Reed was equipped with a combat knife that was in it's sheath tied to his right leg and was wearing bullet proof armor under his black shirt.

"Team 1 is in position,"

"Team 2 is in position", Tyler immediately confirmed with Aily following up a second later. In this operation there were two objectives. The first was to find and extract Lillian Myers, the second was to figure out what's inside the boxes inside the warehouse and for this operation to succeed, Reed required three teams.

The first team, Team 1, was the lookout team. With Tyler being in charge of Team 1,Tyler and his two other squad mates mission were to be Reed's eyes by watching out for any incoming patrols or lookouts that could spot Reed, leading to the failure to the operation. Knowing that his team held a huge responsibility, Tyler had himself and his two other squad mates post themselves on a building overlooking the warehouse, making a triangle formation. By using this triangle formation to overlook the warehouse, each person would hold a third of the coverage on the warehouse. In other words, they have eyes on everything happening around the warehouse, leaving nothing to be hidden.

The second team, Team 2, whom Aily is in charge of. She and two others had two jobs, their first job was to cause a distraction, allowing Reed to infiltrate past the first layer of security of the warehouse. Their second job was for extraction of Lillian Myers. Meaning, that when Reed finds Lillian and extracts her off the warehouse property, it would then be their responsibility drive her back to home base and if they needed to, hospitalize her back to health.

Reed started walking towards the warehouse slowly and said,

"Let the operation Begin."
