Alder Swamp, Denmark 7:56 PM
Derek POV
You just arrived at Alder Swamp where you and Nokk were then dropped off. You began too move towards the cabin all while remaining hidden as best as possible. While you stuck to more shallow areas while also bledning inwith vines and moss, Nokk took the more wet approach and was going to deeper areas to go find another place of entry.
Derek: *On comms* I'm gonna try to find an opening to go through the front, either you can do the same or find another way to get inside. From where I am right now I see an opening to a cellar towards the back of the cabin, you could go through there while I clear the top.
Nokk: Good to know, once we go in dont follow me.
Derek: Well if we have to meet up I will. If you need help contact me.
You turned off your comms and started to make your way to the front of the cabin. There were two White Masks patrolling the front porch. You slowly made your way to them and in one motion pointed your gun at them and took them both out. Before you moved into the cabin you hid their bodies just incase anymore came by. you slowly opened the door and moved inside as silently as possible. You noticed that there was a White Mask sitting on a chair in the kitchen and unsheathed your knife and grabbed him while slitting his throat. You laid him down beside the counter and kept on moving through the cabin checking every room you walked by and killing and masks that were in the rooms. You finished sweeping upstairs and found nothing so you turned your comms on again to see if Nokk found anything.
Derek: *On comms* I've cleared upstairs and found nothing up here, you find anything in the cellars yet?
Nokk: Nothing yet, but there's a steel door that I'm approaching now.
Derek: Alright, stay there I'm on my way.
You turned the comms off and headed towards a door that lead down to the cellars you walked down the stairs and met up with Nokk outside of the steel door.
Derek: There's no one upstairs so we can go in loud if you want. You got that hard breach right?
Nokk: Nods*
Derek: Alright, can you place it on the door?
Nokk took out her hard breaching gadget and placed it on the door and pulled the pin. The fuze went around in a circle until it reached the top and detonated. You tossed a flashbang and as soon as it went off you and Nokk walked in and took out the masks inside the room.
Derek: Alright lets start checking to see if they have anything. While I'm at it I'll contact Jager to start heading back.
Nokk: I think I found something.
Derek Alright keep looking into it and download it into the file. *on Comms* Jager, we've got the intel, start heading towards the cabin.
Jager: *On Comms* I'm on my way now. ETA is 10 minutes.
Derek: *On comms* Alright, Locust out. *to Nokk* You got the files?
Nokk: All in the drive.
Derek: That's good to know, Jager'll be here in 10 minutes.
Nokk: That reminds me, why the name Locust.
Derek: It was a name given to me while I was serving. I was never a leader, however when it put ontoo me, my whole behaviour changed, almost like a locust. Same thing with how the enemy saw me and my squads. When they went to interrogate a terrorist for information, he described the attack as a swarm, even though there were only 6 of us.
Nokk: It suits you.
Derek: And well also because I could be annoying at times.
Nokk: you're kinda like me.
Derek: In what way.
Nokk: Keep to yourself, and dont talk unless on a mission.
Derek: Yea i guess you're right, except well, theyknow more about you than they know about me.
Nokk: Why did you choose to be a recruit anyway.
Derek: Because I just want to do my job. Make the world a better place. Might aswell do it as a lower rank instead of just starting on the top. Anyways Jager should be approaching now, we should start heading out.
you began to walk outside and saw Jager land and you two proceeded to get on and the helicopter lifted up and started heading back to Hereford. Nokk decided to take a nap while you decided to stay awake during the trip since you weren't able to sleep. The ride backed seemed faster than usual and you didnt know why. Jager landed on the helipad and you wake up Nokk. You all get out of the helicopter and take your seperate ways with Nokk going to Harry's office to deliver the harddrive. You decided to head back to your dorm to get out of your uniform and to take a shower. You reached your dorm and locked the door, you walked over to the bathroom and closed the door. you took off your balaclava and the rest of your clothes and stepped into the shower. you let the warm water run down and you just left yourself in your thoughts. You thought about where your life has come, you thought about where your life would be if that day didnt happen. the only person you had left was your older sis but she was somewhere else in the world in the military and havent heard from her in a few years.
You cut out of your thoughts and finished your shower and got out and dried off and got into casual clothes and put on your balaclava. You stepped out of your dorm and started heading towards the cafeteria for dinner. You entered the cafeteria and got a steak dinner and sat down at your table by yourself. While other operators and recruits were talking you just sat there and ate your dinner as usual. You lifted up your balaclava so only your mouth was revealed and started to eat your dinner. While you were eating you saw a figure start to come up to the table. It was Jackal.
Jackal: Hola Amigo.
Derek: Hello Ryad, what can I do for you.
Jackal: Not alot my friend, how was the mission.
Derek: It was a breeze, having one of rainbows best stealth ops on the mission, made it fairly easy.
Jackal: Although I heard that you did most of the work.
Derek: I'm not gonna take alot of credit for a mission that she did the most work for. She's efficient, and having someone efficient makes me feel more calm during an op.
Jackal: It is always better to know that you can rely on someone.
Derek: Speaking of relying, how've you been doing.
Jackal: I've been alright.
Derke: You been getting sleep?
Jackal: I'd be lying if I said I did.
Derek: If you ever need something you can always stop by my dorm or send me a text and I'll go to the cafeteria.
Jackal: I know, I just dont want people to worry.
Derek: People are going to worry anyway, thats why Elena is always so worried for you.
Jackal: I know, but I dont want her to be.
Derek: Ryad, I've read your file. You can't blame yourself for letting him get away.
Jackal: But I was so close to finally let go of a chain that was holding me down and all that happened was it tightened.
Derek: I know how you feel, really I do. But you can't keep on blaming yourself. You'll have another opportunity.
Jackal: There won't be another opportunity. It took forever to find him the first time, this time its gonna be harder.
Derek: I want revenge aswell. I'm still trying to find the masks who destroyed my town.
Jackal: What do you mean.
By this time everyone had left the cafeteria so it was just me and Ryad.
Derek: I was 15 and I went to hang out with my friends. We didn't do alot, we just did what normal teenage boys would do. Dumb shit, it was all fine until we started to head back to our homes. We started to head back to town and it was just a mess. Cars were on fire, houses were being torn down, bodies litered the streets. We were scared, not only just for our own selves but for our families. All of my friends just ran out of town but I stayed to go see if my family was alright. I was wrong, they were all dead. My mom, dad, even my little sister. Bastards killed the Fathers and Sons and raped the Mothers and Daughters before killing them aswell.
Jackal: I'm sorry to hear that. I remember seeing that on the news, it was one of the masks first big attacks.
Derek: Yea, and now I'm just hell bent on trying to find the mask responsible.
Jackal: If I may ask, what does he look like.
Derek: Like a regular mask, except he had a black Spade on his right eye hole.
Jackal: He's on the files in /harry's office. We have files on almost all of the high value masks.
Derek: That's noted. But after that day, I had to go live in an orphanage because my older sis was already in the military so she couldnt care for me. and after 3 years of just being traumatized, I enlisted when i became of age. I've spent the last 2 years training for this moment. Also Ryad, before I head back to my dorm to get some rest. I need to ask a favor.
Jackal: Anything for you Amigo.
Derek: If you capture him, I want to have a crack at him.
Jackal: I'll let Harry and Taina know of your request.
Derek: Thanks Ryad. I'll see you later.
Jackal: No problem Amigo.
You left the cafeteria and passed by the same little Spanish woman going to get Ryad. you went back to your dorm and locked the door and took off your balaclava. You laid down in your bed and closed your eyes. Letting sleep take over.
