116- Boom Goes the Dynamite

Grant

When hearing Alex’s words about beasts and us coming out to play I couldn’t help but smirk. Always one for the dramatics yet I couldn’t wait to see the look on each of their fucking faces when we did.

Shit was about to hit the fan. And fast. And with a flare for the dramatics whenever he got excited, which was almost always constant, there was never a dull moment when it came down to Alex or his Omega squad. For they were crazy as shit as well as a bunch of pyros. But the best in the group.

Now crouching over at the northwest side of the compound does my mind begin to wander at what they could have come up with for a distraction. My Delta squad now waiting for orders. 24 men currently standing with me as we do. Handpicked warriors chosen specifically by me. My elites.

Currently among each of my men were 3 young and talented boys. Boys who were personally recruited by me from off the streets. Each of them only 7 or 8 at the time when they attempted to steal from me. Of course, instead of opting to end their useless lives did I decide to give them a choice. Work for me and my brothers or die by my hand. They chose to work for me and ever since then they’ve done nothing but shine within each of their respective classes.

Mentally preparing for what’s about to come do I move to think over each of my teams. My squad. With 3 squads standing at my disposal with each of them holding a small group of men of their own, men who specialized in unique abilities. Abilities such as sharp shooters or as I like to call them, the Bravo team.

These men were my eyes and ears within this operation. Each carrying snipers among other weapons as they become our lookouts. Each group accompanied by one of our Gamma’s. Men who were great at observing and holding wicked reflexes when needed.

Then I have my ground team or as I like to call them, my Ro team. These were men who carried extensive training along with skills from local militaries. Enzo, who was one of five men who weren’t just a bodyguard but our second in command will be helping my Ro team when it’s time.

Our task, secure the west side of the compound and get my Bravo team there as quick as possible.

Suddenly, Alex’s voice moves to ring out over the earpiece.

“Okay Delta’s, you and your men have 3 buildings within your area, each of them holding innocent women. Alpha team, you and your men have light foot traffic but it’s heavily guarded. Men rotating every 2 minutes between rounds. My Omega squad has set the distractions for the main house. It’s go time.”

“And Tony?” I hear Lucus over the comms.

“I’ve cracked their security system and my teams ready and waiting. Let’s bring our girl home”

Now moving to signal each of my men, each wearing comms do I move to give them my own reply back. “Daddies coming and he’s bringing the heat” my own line for I’m ready. My men each chuckling as well as I.

Lucus moving to speak yet again, this time to Alex and his team. “Okay Omega squad. Time to hunt” then with weapons drawn and each man waiting we move to start the hunt.

My eyes now glancing towards my watch as I silently count backwards from 10.

6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…

BOOM!

The ground now shaking as a huge fireball moves to fill the early morning light. Huge chunks of stone and debris now flying through the air as it does. The main house now missing a large piece of its side.

Another two booms following shortly after the first. Debris now flying over on our right as Lucus and his men slowly move to watch as a warehouse instantly gets blown to pieces. A fourth boom soon sounding as another warehouse becomes engulfed by flames. Black smoke soon filling the air as it does.

The sound of rapid gun firing soon fills the air as I move to give the signal. Flicking my wrist as I move to give the signal to each of my men.  Remembering that when reaching the dead zone our comms would go silent. Each team now moving to inspect each of the buildings.

Upon approaching building one, my team consisting of Enzo, Tyler, Beau and Isaiah. Isaiah being one of my younger men, 19 and a complete protégé slowly move to approach the door. Beau quick to set a small charge against the metal door, each of us moving to step back as he does. Beau quick to press the button as the C4 charge blows.

Tapping at both Enzo and Isaiah’s back do both move to enter the building first. Both careful when entering as they move to do a complete sweep of the place. The sound of guns going off soon greet my ears as I too slowly move to enter the dimly lit building. My spy shades moving to adjust to the lighting as I do.

My eyes eventually spotting Tyler and Beau as they move to follow Isaiah. The three of them moving to secure the roof. Guns still blazing as they do. My eyes noticing that the warehouse we were in was an open floor concept and large wooden crates soon greet my gaze. My legs leading me towards each crate only to spot that each of them were ours, our logo smack dab in the middle of each crate.

The fuckers.

Shifting my attention from the crates to my left do I move to see 2 large cages. Each cage large enough to span across an entire wall. Young women, many of whom were covered in blood all move to huddle together as a whole.

Careful when approaching the cages do I attempt to show each of them that I wasn’t a threat. My voice soft as I move to speak to each of them.

“Easy now. Everything’s going to be okay. Your safe here. Promise. Just stay put and don’t move. I’ll return for you once I know it’s safe.”

Making sure to repeat what I just said to them in Spanish and Russian as well as Greek and Italian unsure if any spoke English do I slowly move to tap my watch before speaking.

“Report!”

“Delta one and Gamma one. In position.”

“Delta two and Gamma two. In position.”

“Delta three and Gamma three. In position.”

Nodding my head in approval do I move to check in with Delta one. “Delta one, report.”

“Building one had 12 guards. Each met their timely end. Inside we found 42 young adults. Children, all under the age of 10 while locked within a cage.”

Upon hearing that does my blood begin to boil. Pervs.

“Delta two, report.”

“Building two had 7 guards. Each met their timely end while guarding 36 young adults and 12 pregnant women.”

Grinding my molars, do I move to check in with Delta three. “Delta three, report.” Isaiah’s voice now ringing over the comms as he does. “9 guards Sir. Each meeting their timely…. Wait” before he could finish do I move to hear another shot of a gun before Isaiah moves to speak again. “Fucking bastard. Make that 10 guards Sir.”

Sighing, I move to see Enzo slowly return, Enzo moving to confirm Isaiah’s reply as my eyes move to scan the cages, My eyes slowly scanning over each of them as I do. “Is everyone okay?” I ask.

The women each giving the other a side glance before turning their attention towards a woman who was hidden by the shadows. My gut screaming at me that something was wrong. My eyes watching her as I do.

Adjusting my focus do I move to see an older woman. The woman a bit chubbier compared to the others within the cage along with characteristics that didn’t seem to add up for those dealing in the skin trade business. Her features not like that of the other girls.

“You there, come here” I bark, my finger now motioning for her to approach me. Upon stepping into view do I instantly see her face. Her face caked in layers upon layers of makeup. The layers attempting to cover what I can only assume is a bad plastic surgery job. Her boobs clearly fake and way to large for her body while currently dressed in gaudy jewelry and skintight clothing did absolutely nothing for her as I blanch at her appearance.

The woman now in front of me as she attempts to bat her eyes at me before speaking. “Please… Help me. These awful men took me about a month ago. My names Karina” she blubbers, clearly failing at hiding her thick Russian accent as she does.

Quick to notice her appearance opposed to those within the cage, the numbers didn’t seem to add up. The woman still blubbering even as she attempts to pull a fast one on me.

“WATCH OUT” cries a voice.

Turning towards the girl who had screamed does Karina move to leave herself wide open to me. My hand quick to draw my own gun as I move to take aim. My bullet now landing between her eyes as I do.

Enzo approaching the cages as he moves to find the correct key. The girls shrieking as Karina now laid dead upon the floor. Blood oozing from between her eyes as she laid their motionless. My gaze searching for anyone else before speaking over the comms yet again.

“19 women and 1 spy.”
