.
BANG...
.
The sound of a gunshot...
"Hostile one is down.." .
"Nice shot, Sniper Three."
Inside of a room within a warehouse district, a group of people wearing black uniforms was gathered. They surrounded a big table placed in the center of the room. On top of it, there was a large sized building blueprint, it\'s the blueprint of the warehouse next door. There were 3 men sitting down next to the table facing a monitor, they were wearing communication equipment. The others were standing, the person in the middle was the one taking command, this was General Rico.
The war against the terrorists. Since the shocking 9/11 Terrorist attack in the US, the war never stopped. Although being chased by many law enforcement all around the world, the terrorist groups did not go down but actually became more vicious, even getting more support and funding. In Indonesia, terrorism was also already spread. There were dozens of hidden bases and hundreds man devoted to creating terror, mainly through bomb attacks.
The police forces in Indonesia are spread out in all cities, Indonesia actually has the second most police officer in the world. A total of 430.000 men. Within this number, few elites were selected, they were named DENSUS 88. They were stationed all around the country, with a total of no more than 3000 men. 200-300 men in the big cities and only 30-40 men in the small cities They are the police special forces. Each of them got training from ex-US special forces and various intelligence agencies. They were designed to become an anti-terrorist unit that is capable of countering various terrorist threats. From bomb threats to hostage situations. It consists of investigators, explosive experts, and an attack unit that includes snipers.
Rico was a brigadier general with a vice-chief position in the DENSUS 88 special forces. Normally, he did not personally lead an operation anymore, but currently, he was leading because this was one of the terrorists\' main bases, and also because he wanted to make sure the information that Alex gave was accurate. Currently, Rico brought with him 1 platoon of the special forces; one platoon normally has 3 squads each with members around 8 - 12 men. Currently, this operation involved 30 men. Each squad was led by a sergeant, while each platoon was led by a lieutenant. Lieutenant Leon was one of the men standing with him, and he currently was second in command for this operation.
The other 3 men sitting at the table was the intelligence division unit, they were in charge of gathering information and devising tactical strategies. This unit has staked out this location since yesterday. They predicted the number of hostiles insides should be around 20 men.
Squad 1 was currently standing guard within the temporary command center, ready as a backup. Squad 2 already prepared to enter the warehouse through the front and Squad 3 through the back. Just now a sniper from Squad 3 was just given orders to shoot the enemy lookout.
"Breach! Breach!"
Squad 2 going through the front door was faced with a steel door, the sergeant holding a breaching shotgun shot the door hinges and the steel door finally opened, there were 7 hostiles in the front hall waiting to shoot anything that walked through the front door, but when the door opened, the scene was not as they expected, instead of men rushing inside, it\'s actually a grenade...
"BAAMMM"
It\'s a stun grenade, thrown by Squad 2, it exploded with a bright light, disabled all eyes and senses. The grenade was then followed by 2 people walking with a ballistic shield in front.
BANG...BANG...BANG...BANG
All the hostiles\' shooting was useless, it was all deflected by the shield. One by one, each member of Squad 2 rushed in and opened fire to all the blinded hostiles, it was a one-sided battle, all 7 hostiles were down, none of the Squad 2 members hurt. Squad 2 continued to walk through the front hall. 3 other hostiles on the other side of the room were actually fleeing through the back room, but they didn\'t expect to be welcomed by a bullet rain from Squad 3 who just went in through the back door.
"Back door secured!"
"Front door secured!"
"Great job, now enter the 2nd floor cautiously, careful, there should be 10 other hostiles waiting."
It was an open warehouse hall, the second-floor door could be seen from the front hall... Squad 2 stayed in the hall while taking cover behind boxes, Squad 3 walked inside the hall from the back room and walked up to the stairs.
Squad 3 breached the 2nd-floor door and also rushed in with the ballistic shield. But, what they found puzzled them, there was only one man inside, he was kneeling on the floor, not making any sound. One by one Squad 3 men walked in to secure the room, prepared to shoot the kneeling man.
Rico said: "Something is wrong, where are the other hostiles?"
The kneeling men stood up slowly and said:
"The heaven\'s gate is coming and all you heathens will burn, today I will go to heaven, The Lord is Great!"
Rico screamed: "GET OUT!! ALL UNITS OUT!!"
Less then 1 second later, Rico\'s order was followed with an extremely loud noise.
.
"KAAABBBBOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!"
.
"NOOOOO.....!!!"
.
An explosion blew up the warehouse. It was so big that the force broke the windows of the building that the general currently was in.
General Rico and Lieutenant Leon rushed out of the building with Squad 1 and saw the flaming warehouse. Such a horrific sight. There were some bodies of the Squad 2 that could be seen, the general could even see a few of them still twitching and gasping for help. There was nothing left of Squad 3.
A few men from Squad 1 couldn\'t stand by watching the scene. These were their comrades, their friends. They broke out the formation and tried to help the burning bodies.
Suddenly...
BANG...BANG...BANG...BANG
Several figures rushed out from behind another building and started shooting...
BANG...BANG...BANG...BANG
.
3 Squad and 1 man who walked out of formation got hit and dropped to the ground...dead.
There were now only 7 members left, with Lieutenant Leon and the General a total of 9 men.
The General gave the order: "TAKE COVER, BACK TO BACK, create a defensive formation!"
They started to resist and shot back. These squads were the elites police forces, most of them were sharpshooters.
BANG...BANG...BANG...BANG
.
10 hostiles dropped dead to the ground, but weirdly more were coming.
General Rico could see at least 30 more figures.
"DAMN, it\'s a fxxxxxx trap!"
"Hold the formation, keep shooting!"
.
BANG...BANG...BANG...BANG
.
.
10 more hostile died, the squad had 1 more casualty.
Now there were only 8 of them.
"KEEP SHOOTING! Preserve ammo, we can win this!"
Suddenly a van rushed in and stopped close to the group.
A figure walked out.
It\'s a woman...
She is crying...
The squad stopped shooting seeing this scene.
Suddenly the woman ran to the formation.
General Rico SCREAMED: "FIRE AT HER, STOP HER!!"
They were shooting at her, but she\'s already too close... A brave squad member jumped out and tried to push the woman away. But he\'s too late.
Inside the woman\'s jacket.. she\'s wearing an explosive vest.
.
KAAABOOOOM!!!
.
.
The formation broke.
The brave squad member splashed into pieces. Followed with his two closest members.
All the others got blown away, some were seriously injured, Lieutenant Leon was one of them. He\'s hurting and struggling on the ground. The general was lucky to be the furthest from the bomb, but he also was on the ground, his sight and hearing were impaired.
Suddenly, several figures walked closer.
BANG
BANG
BANG
...All of Squad 1 died...
General Rico was still on the ground seeing all of this, but it seemed he had no power to move.
He heard a man talking:
"We are lucky, God is Great, we found ourselves a General, take him, he could be worth a fortune.
Another guy spoke to him:
"This one is a lieutenant, what should we do with him?"
"Naaaahh... The General is enough."
