AIDAN
“So what do we have?” Jaimie was the first one to get out of the line.
We were standing below the mountain ready to be challenged. Personally, I was ready.
The rest, not so sure.
“In these bags we have torches, 10 of them. Thennnnn training guns, our vases, our gear, explosives. We have 3 different maps, binoculars, medical aid kit, headsets, compasses. We have everything” Maddie kept looking through the bag.
“Alright I think we have enough to complete this mission. What we need to do is to put together a plan. We are dealing with a very skilled ex military soldier. She is capable of anything. Alice, what are we looking at?” Jaimie asked and I could tell the leading role suited her well.
Sergeant Chase put her in charge.
“Chase Dominica White. Her individual trainer was one of the best trainers in the world which means she is skilled, manipulative and very dangerous. Her specialty is into guns, explosives and…umm blades?” Alice stammered her eyes still on the paper.
“Black, help us with the maps” Jaimie eyed me.
“This says the only place she could be is a bunker at the north of the mountain. For us to get there without her spotting us immediately…..uhhhh okay this route is far but it was our best shot. We have an hour to take her down so we gotta take the short route. The entrance of the bunker is at the edge of this cliff. These coordinates” I pointed at the map as we all kneeled in the sand.
“There are traps all around the bunker starting 50 meters west. We need a distraction. Bait” Jaimie looked around at the other trainees.
Ughhh okay this was not going to work.
“We need to split. 3 teams to surround her. She is expecting us and the best way for us to win is by being 2 steps ahead. Maddie and Dawn you are good with explosives. Jaimie and Sureya you are good with strategies and weapons pick a team, and I’m good with hand to hand, I will need my own team. The rest of you will stand on guard in case she tried to escape or we have unexpected company” I spoke up
“We make plans on how to get there. Give each other roles and we complete this mission” Jaimie nodded at me.
We made a team of 10. The rest were to surround the perimeters just in case she escaped or we had unexpected guests.
We created a plan and we wore our gear taking the equipment we needed then we were on our way. We had planned our timing the position of our attack. I was going to be going face to face with her and that made my spine tingle with both horror and excitement.
It felt too real. Going on this mission felt like a war between Sergeant Chase and us. We separated and approached the 50 meter distance then we were looking out for the traps.
To my surprise they were not traps but something that looked like our obstacle course outline. I stopped everyone taking it in. Maddie and I took a closer look.
“This is just like our obstacle training. You know what to do correct?” I turned around.
“Uh yes but I don’t get why you are our leader. You managed to get yourself on Sergeant’s bad side” One of the girls, Giana glared flashed my face with her torch.
“She doesn’t mix personal problems with our training so I don’t get your point” Alice defended me.
“You challenged her. During training and moreover as cool as it was, you definitely pissed her off” Maddie pointed out.
My team agreed and I huffed.
“Let’s just go through the plan” I mumbled facing the challenge ahead of us.
Now I was angry again. Remembering why I was angry at the first place. It was because of Saturday night.
After I left the party, drunk. I went to the lake to just sober up a bit, I made myself throw up and when I was feeling a little sober, I decided to go talk to her. The alcohol in my system left me feeling a bit confident then I went to her barrack, house, bay whatever it’s called.
I went there just to find myself sitting outside listening to moans coming from inside. I should have walked away but I was so heartbroken, I stayed until I was completely sobered up.
I thought we had a connection. I thought we almost kissed but it was in my head and all I felt was anger. And she was the cause of my anger.
I needed someone to blame for my hurt.
Maybe it was childish but I wanted her to snap. React, lose her stupid cool but she didn’t. I wanted her to feel something. Even if it’s defeat. I had to make her job very difficult.
I just had to.
Did I go too far with the disrespect?, yes.
Was I terrified?, very much so.
But I couldn’t stop myself. I wanted to push her harder and harder until she snapped and showed me my place.
I wanted her to give me something.
“There are no signs of movements. We are clear to move in” Dawn’s voice came from my ear piece. She was the spotter.
“All explosives are down, I have taken down her alarm. Black, your team should move fast, we have 35 minutes left” Sureya informed from her team.
“Uh guys, the weather is not looking very promising. We might not have those 35 minutes” one of the girls informed.
“A storm?” I frowned.
This would be bad for our plan.
“From the looks of it, a very violent one. I see movement, Black get your team to move in now”
“Beta 2, How many do you see?. Over”
“Alpha 1 this is Beta 2
Unidentified 1 spotted, black bodysuit, tall, sniper on the back, 2 guns in hand moving west away from checkpoint. Grid coordinates 32-10-43. Over”
I took out my night vision binoculars then looked in the direction Dawn had given me. It was her, Sergeant Chase.
I could tell.
“Alright target is on the move, this is Alpha 1, we are moving in. Target is armed”
I raised my hand and we started moving in silently from the direction she was not looking in. I indicated with my fingers for Jaimie to take the other route like we planned and the closer we got, the faster my heart beat increased.
We surrounded her and Jaimie was the one to address her.
“This is Private Cruza. You are surrounded. Put your hands where I can see them and drop your weapons”
I watched in anticipation as the woman I felt so much for turn around and my goodness she looked so sexy, I was blinded for a minute. The black gear suit was like a second skin and I ogled at her curves like a pervert.
She turned around and let out a deep chuckle.
Fuck stop turning me on, I’m on a mission.
“And if I don’t?”
“We will have no choice but to shoot. Put your hands up now!” Jaimie commanded and damn that must have taken some guts.
“What is rule number 1 when using your weapons, Private Cruza?” Sergeant Chase asked.
“To always check your weapons before handling them”
Oh shit.
Oh fuck
Oh fuckkkkk.
“Did you do that Private Black?”
I checked my weapon and the lasers were completely off. They were not charged.
“You forgot the most important rule.” She sounded so disappointed, my gut clenched.
“This is Alpha 1, I’m moving in from her back. Keep her distracted” I whispered into the mouthpiece then slowly and silently moved closer to her back side.
I went in to attack but she turned right before I could punch her back.
Fuckkkkkk
She pointed the gun at me. I kicked it out of her hand and we started fighting hand to hand. Chase was holding back, she was not hitting full force on me. I gave it my all fighting her like she was the real enemy.
She kicked my knee and ran towards the direction of the bunker. I had seen Jaimie sneak in there so we moved in to back her up.
And that night, after she beat all of us. We really did see a bit of life flash before our eyes. She was fast, precise and no hesitancy.
I wanted to be her and with her at the same time. She made me want to be better, showed me why I should be better. I understood that instead of using words, she showed me that I was wrong about what I said to her.
Sergeant Chase was only doing what was best for us.
Even though we slept in the underground bunker. We didn’t even talk just the two of us. She was angry with me for my behavior and I didn’t want to apologize yet. I wanted her to lose the control she seemed to have over everything.
Maybe I should push her further.
What’s the worst that could happen if she snapped?
Fuck me till I faint??

I know nothing about the military.
Seriously I get most of it from watching S.W.A.T and all those investigations I’m obsessed with.
