Hereford Base; Male Dorm

Derek POV

You woke up to Grizzy hastily shaking you.

Grizzy: Come on get up.

Derek: Grizzy? Its 4 in the morning what do you want?

Grizzy: Our friends are being held hostage.

Derek: What?

Grizzy: We were playing and suddenly next thing we know, Roy joins the discord call and it wasnt Roy, they said we have 24 hours to give what they want or else they'll start killing them.

Derek: Shit.

You got out of bed and quickly ran out and started banging on the other teams doors. They all came out drowzy wondering what was going on while seeing you put on your gear.

Bulldog: Whats going on boss?

Derek: The Children are holding their friends hostage, get your gear on and be ready to move.

Bravo Squad: Yes sir.

Derek: Mickey once your geared up get the pilot, I need to go get my sis.

Mickey: You got it.

Derek: Grizzy, go with them to the helicopter.

Grizzy: Why me?

Derek: Because we need to surprise them.

Grizzy: I better not get shot.

Derek: You're not.

You left the dorm and started to spring through the halls towards the female dorm. You reached the area and opened up the door to see Tina making coffee with only a bra and shorts on.

Derek: Ah fuck, sorry.

Frost: What are you doing here?

Derek: Getting my sis.

You walked over to her door and knocked on it. Not getting a response, you went for the doorknob but stopped yourself.

Derek: Tina?

Frost: Yea?

Derek: Can you just walk in and wake her up, I don't want to see anymore than I've already saw.

Frost: Yea no problem. Just so you know we all do this.

Derek: Yea thats kinda why I don't want to open the door.

Tina opened the door and walked inside and quickly came out.

Frost: She'll be out in a couple of minutes.

Derek: Thank you.

Frost: No problem, and to clarify? This never happened.

Derek: What happened?

Frost: Huh, you're good at forgetting things.

She went back into her own room and your sister walked out in gear.

Derek: I'll explain on the way.

Ashley: Ok.

You both left the female dorm and started heading outside. When you reached it the rest of your squad was waiting next to the helicopter.

Derek: Where are we going exactly Griz.

Grizzy: Las Vegas.

Derek: Bitchin, alright everyone on.

You all got into the helicopter and you turned towards the pilot.

Derek: Las Vegas.

Pilot: You got it.

The helicopter quickly rose and you were soon off to Nevada.

Grizzy: So why am I here?

Derek: They want money right?

Grizzy: Yea?

Derek: Well we can't just storm the place immediately and let them know we're coming. Thats why you are here, you're going to make it seem like you have the money with this duffel bag to draw them out. Once that door is open, we'll move in.

Grizzy: Please dont let me get shot.

Derek: I already told you. You're not, once we start going in go hide.

Grizzy: Ok.

Derek: And for fuck sake do not text them saying anything about you coming or that they're being rescued.

Grizzy: I wasn't.

Derek: Good. Now the nonsense house is big. But it has some open areas. They also have cameras, NATO I want you to hack into those cams and find out where they're holding them.

NATO: On it.

Derek: Once we know where they are, we'll split into two groups. Group A will push towards the hostages while Group B works around the rest of the house. We can't waste time just in case they end up trying to kill them while we're clearing out the house.

Bulldog: What are the groups.

Derek: Me, Mickey, and Patch will go towards the hostages. The rest of you clear the house.

As you got closer towards Las Vegas, NATO was able to access their cams.

NATO: I'm looking through and.... They're being held in Yumis room.

Derek: Griz, he has windows right?

Grizzy: They all have windows.

Derek: I mean, like a big window.

Grizzy: Yea?

Derek: Good, pilot, you have rappel gear?

Pilot: There should be a box under a seat.

You looked under a few seats and saw a box under Patch. You grabbed the box and handed the gear to both Mickey and Patch.

Derek: They'll most likely have the windows closed with the shutters covering them, we'll go in through the window and help you guys out once we have the hostages.

Bulldog: Got it.

Derek: We'll start our attack once you guys go through the door.

Pilot: I'm going to land in this open area over here, you'll be a mile out.

Derek: Thats fine.

Pilot: Once I leave, I'm gonna have to refuel. It'll take about 30 minutes.

Derek: I'll let you know when to come back, same location.

Pilot: Understood.

The pilot landed the helicopter in an open area and you all got out. You all began to move towards the house and once you got close, you split off from the rest of your group towards where Yumis room would be. There was a guard outside so you quietly killed him and kept moving. Once you reached the window, you waited for the rest of your group to arrive.

Derek: Mickey, Patch, once they start thats when we go in.

You all threw your hooks at the top and made sure they were secured up on the roof. You began to go up the side and wait outside the window.

Grizzy: *distance* Hey, I have the money, just let my friends go!

Soldier: *distance* Wasnt expecting that, but you know we cant just let them go easily.

Grizzy: Oh come the fuck on, I got what you wanted.

Soldier: You're going to come back here and bring the rest that are being guarded with Rainbo-

You heard a gunshot and gave the signal to go through the window. You all jumped away from the window and shot it a couple time before kicked it and shattering the glass. You shot the 4 people in the room and watched the door.

Derek: Patch, get them free and check them for injuries.

Patch: On it.

You heard more gunfire outside and you opened the door to see a couple soldiers in the hallway. You quickly shot them down and went back into the room.

Derek: How they look?

Patch: Roy is pretty banged up but he should be fine.

Derek: Christ you took a beating.

Roy: Yea well it made it so they didn't.

Derek: You got some balls dude.

Yumi: You guys surely don't act like special forces.

Derek: Because we don't. Patch stick with them same with you Mick. I'm gonna go out there.

You walked through the door out into the hall and saw 3 guys below the balcony watching a door, you quickly shot the three of them and moved around towards the stairs. You went over to the room that they were looking into and began to peak inside.

Derek: Star.

You were quickly shot at, causing you to lean against the wall.

Derek: For fuck sake, Star!

Ashley: Sorry!

Bulldog: They had us pinned down in here.

Derek: Ash, forgot to tell you, when we say star while entering a room, it just means that friendlies are entering the room.

Ashley: Oh ok, sorry about that.

Derek: Well you didn't hit me so its fine, why didn't you guys respond.

Bulldog: Because we can't hear?

Derek: I've realized. So was that the rest of the building?

Bulldog: Just about yea.

Derek: What do you mean by just about?

Bulldog: One started sprinting off after we took this room, we knicked him so he isn't getting very far.

Derek: Alright, I'll go get the rest of them. NATO, contact our pilot.

NATO: On it.

You walked away and back upstairs towards Yumis room.

Derek: Hey, whole building is cleared. Just have to wait for the pilot.

Roy: So what do we do now?

Derek: Same thing we did with Grizzy and them. Gonna have to station you back at base.

Yumi: Will we get our stuff?

Derek: In time, yes.

Mickey: Will we even be able to fit everyone on the helicopter?

Derek: If we can't, I'll stay here with the rest to make sure no more come. Let's just wait in the living room.

You all exited the room and went downstairs. Grizzy walked in through the front door and sat down on the couch.

Yumi: *looking at a body* Piece of shit.

Derek: Dont be looking now, we need to meet at the exfil point, its about a mile out, you think you can walk Roy?

Roy: Yea I'll manage.

Derek: If you need assistance, just ask.

Roy: I will.

Derek: Alright, lets move.

You all exited the building and made your way to the exfil point, all while checking around to make sure there wasn't anyone else. Once you reached the point. The helicopter was getting ready to land.

Pilot: I'm not gonna lie, can't fit all of you.

Derek: Thats ok, I want Roy to get there, he needs treatment. Bravo squad I want you on there aswell.

They all got in which left two more seats.

Derek: Who is willing to stay for another day.

Mickey: Here, I'll stay with you.

Derek: Alright, Grizzy, Yumi, Cob get in. Evan and Tux, you're gonna have to stay behind with me and Mickey.

Pilot: I'll come back for you guys tomorrow.

The helicopter flew away leaving the four of you.

Tux: So what now.

Derek: Well we can't exactly go back to that house, they're bound to come back with more.

Evan: So where would we go?

Derek: I don't know, we're your bodyguards for now.

Evan: Could go for a walk to the park.

Mickey: Yea, and get looked at for being fully geared with guns.

Tux: Its las vegas, its nothing out of the norm.

Derek: If you say so. Mickey, make sure you keep a lookout, we don't know if there are others here.

Mickey: Dont have to tell me twice. I've been on the edge since.

Derek: Good, we can go.

Evan: Awesome, because I wanted to play on the little ducky ride.

Derek: The ducky what?

Evan the little ducky thing, that you sit on and move back and forth?

Derek: Lets just go to the damn park.

You all walked downtown until you reached a park, Evan ran over to the ducky swing and started moving on it.

Evan: This is the ducky thing.

Derek: *looking at Mickey* We're guarding a bunch of kids.

Mickey: Yea I realized.

Tux: So how do you know Grizzy?

Derek: We had to help them out a few weeks ago, plus already knew them when I was little.

Evan: When you were little?

Derek: When I was 15 to when I turned 17. If you look at some of their older videos, I was the little kid.

Tux: And you're a rainbow operative now?

Derek: We're part of a new taskforce for rainbow. When I turned 17 I enlisted into the military, 4 years later I got requested to join Rainbow. There I was a recruit until the rest of my old squad showed up. Then we became a taskforce.

Evan: You surely don't act like a taskforce.

Derek: We know how to relax, it helps us feel human still.

Mickey: Right, we still do some dumb shit back at base.

Tux: So where exactly are we going to stay for the night?

Derek: I could find a place, but in the mean time we'll have to stay outdoors, far away from your house.

A few minutes go by with you scrolling through condos to rent out for a day, until you saw a police car pull up and start walking towards you.

Police Officer: Good evening.

Derek: Good evening.

Police Officer: Got a phone call about two men dressed in black with guns here at the park. Want to explain why?

Derek: We just got done an op and have to wait till another heli comes to pick us up, we couldn't fit everyone in the first trip.

Police Officer: An operation?

Derek: We're a taskforce for Team Rainbow. Got a report here about a hostage situation and had to take them back to base. Couldn't fit everyone and we couldn't stay back at the place, so those two decided to come to the park.

Police Officer: You got a badge or something to verify?

Derek: Ofcourse.

You opened up a pocket on your vest and showed him your I.D.

Derek: If you need to aswell, I can get on the phone with my C.O.

Police Officer: Its alright, it all checks up. Just make sure they're on safety.

Derek: They are, not pointing them up and any further than the ground.

Police Officer: Alright, have a good rest of your day.

Derek: Same goes for you.

He quickly got back into his car and drove away, you just kept scrolling to find a condo.

Derek: I found one, we'll just stay there for the time being until we can get another heli.

Tux: Sounds good to me.

Derek: It should, lets go.

After going to the condo, Evan got grubhub and you all ate with you and Mickey pulling up your balaclavas to your mouths. After that it was getting late so you decided to call it a day and go to sleep.

Derek: Mickey take watch first, and wake me up in a couple hours alright?

Mickey: You got it.

Derek: Be careful.

Mickey: I will, just get some rest.

You went into a bedroom and put your gun against a wall and your pistol on the ground. You took off your helmet and boots and got into the bed. You closed your eyes and let your mind drift off.
