Default Re: TavernTales 15: Meeting Grounds

And this is the story that doesn't end. It goes on and on for pages, some people started reading not knowing what they were reading until.. well you know the song.

"Looks like they are putting out the fire," one GAMES agent stated, "they must have spotted us.

"How long did you think a flying rooftop would go unnoticed?" Jeepnut did not intend to sound mean but there was not many ways to say it.

"Sorry sir," the guard sulked back into position.

"I apologize, I did not mean to sound so hurtful."

Bond walked up beside Jeepnut, "Two questions I've been wondering."

"Go ahead."

"One, how come we aren't flying off of this roof?"

"Well that's...." Jeepnut began to answer but his attention shifted to getting the roof ready for landing.

"Okay don't worry about that question, but this one is a bit more pressing, what type of landing gear does a rooftop have?"

"Ha ha. Funny you should mention that..." Bond did not like the start of this. "I only intended for the rooftop to be a last ditch escape. A one time use device as it was so never really bothered installing landing gear..."

"You mean to...."

"If I was you," Jeepnut started the rooftop into its final descent, "I would find a comfortable place and get ready for a rocky landing."

Bond stared at his friend who now wore a child-like grin on his face. Even though Bond knew he should probably be fearing for his life right now, he enjoyed the thrill and sensation of plummeting into danger. It was one of the things he missed most about the field.

The landing was indeed bumpy as they landed amongst a grove of trees which did nothing to soften the fall. Everyone was unscratched though and as much as Bond wished he could tend to him they had to act quick. He began shouting orders at all agents.

The attack would commence in precisely 4 minutes and thirty three seconds.

Nighthawk finally broke the silence when he saw the roof crash into a small grove of trees. "We need to think of something fast!"

"We're trying, new friendo." Swan responded.

Nighthawk took in the scenario to see if there was anything his brother told him that would be useful. Aww, he saw it. "Guys over there! A small forest exit, they have to come through there it gives them the most amount of cover and they are protected," he pointed up towards a clearing, "from above. We need to set a trap over there."

Fox and Swan had no better idea so they agreed and put a plan into motion. It was risky, but risky was the best they could hope for in such short notice.

They all got into position with a plan in mind. They each secretly hoped it would work.
-----------------
Bond had instructed, like Nighthawk guessed, for his men to follow him down the narrowest path available. It offered little chance for them to be flanked or ambushed. He ordered a smaller group of men to remain here and cover them below.

Each man tested their radio before setting off for their assignment.

As Bond led his men down the path towards the waterfront, his mind went through every possible scenario from every direction. He studied roots and tree markings for any signs he may have missed.

He examined his men more carefully. Not that he did not trust them, but after the events of today some of them may be shaken. Something seemed off to Bond, one of the agents.

"Officer Green!" Bond shouted back at one of the agents. The agent paid Bond little attention.

"Officer Green, I repeat!" Again Bond shouted and again the agent did not respond.

"I am going to repeat myself one more time, Officer Green!" This time the agent looked around baffled. Had Bond been calling him this whole time?

"What are you doing down there?" The agent simply shrugged his shoulders. Bond ordered all his men to circle this weird agent now.

The agent was stunned to find himself surrounded so quickly. He panicked and began moving his hand about in a bizarre manner. All of the other agents, Bond and Jeepnut began to look around for some sign that maybe he was possessed.

But there was nothing of the sort. Then they saw it, it was not bizarre at all. It was a signal!

They all tried to react, but it was too late. Everything went dark.

Oh, this sounds bad for Bond....
