Ben, Pete, and Harley had done their job well. Marcus and the rest of the team quickly moved through the shadows, surrounding the doors of the Guard Station. His heart was beating at a rapid pace. Marcus thought his heart would burst from his chest as he readied a Frag grenade in his hand. The others positioned at the doors did the same. All three doors were watched and protected, the Guard Station would be well defended inside. Suddenly, the sound of Frag grenades echoed into Marcus' ears as tossed his in as well. Two other Militiamen did the same, blowing out some windows in the process.
"GET IN, GET IN, GET IN!" Marcus ordered screaming as a Militiaman ran in, but was quickly shot in the chest three times. The man fell backwards out of the doorway, and onto the ground limp and lifeless. Marcus fired from cover his Tommy Gun, trying to kill the assailent. The sound of gunfire was coming from the building already, the others had made it in. "MOVE!" Marcus ordered the Militiamen as they charged in with their war cries and guns blazing. Marcus moved in with his Tommy Gun at the ready, and his Mosin still slung across his back, secure.
It was only a couple a minutes, and already the team had lost five good soldiers. The Americans created barricades at the top of the stairs, stopping any and all Miltiamen trying to get up and clear the second floor. The building was large and wide. The ground floor had at least seven rooms that needed to be cleared. The others were busy trying to knock-out the barricades at the tops of the three staircases. Marcus went over to assist, he realized his bullet indentation on his Kevlar vest, and fiddle with it before getting back into the fight.
"FRAG GOING IN!" Marcus screamed as a warning, quickly throwing the grenade from cover. Two other men through one of their own, all exploding at relitively the same time. Cries came from the top of the stairs, but more Americans continued to reinforce the staircases. They seemed like an endless stream of Combat armored soldiers, fighting for their lives in a foreign nation.
A woman with a Ak, rushed over to Marcus catching her breath as he stood against the wall, trying to get this staircase clear. She was a dirty blonde, and had brown hazel eyes similar to a woman Marcus once knew.
"Are you Marcus?" The woman asked him still catching her breath.
"Yeah, what do you want. It's kind of to 'hot' to be asking questions don't you thing?" Marcus said turning from cover, and firing a squirt from his Tommy Gun. He nicked one soldiers arm, disabling him from holding a rifle, but the man unholstered his .45 and began firing with the other hand. Marcus took cover and looked at the woman who fired her Ak up the stairs.
"I've got some important intel for you." She said almost yelling over the intense gunfire. Marcus leaned towards her, to hear her better. "Annie was shot in the arm, and grazzed on the ribs. She should be ok, but their evacuating her to Vancouver in a small fishing boat. She told me to tell you, that once your done here, haul ass back to the docks. The Americans got a small armored car, and broke through one of the barricades that Louie's team was holding. The Americans Northern Command knows about the attack, and is probably already on their way."
Marcus looked at the woman stunned, he glanced at some Militiamen who were busy pulling ammo and weapons from dead comrades hands. It was hard to watch, but the Falcons needed all they could use, even if it included stripping dead friends weapons and ammo from their bodies. Marcus was in furiated by the news as he thought about it. The woman continued to help try and clear the staircase with her Ak, but the Americans still continued to replace injured or dead friends.
"LETS CLEAR THIS PLACE OUT. LEAVE NONE ALIVE!" Marcus yelled to all who could hear him. He moved from cover, and fired a large burst lasting about nine seconds, returning to cover. The bullets tore through the wooded tables and the rest of the American cover. An American cried out to his friends about his leg as Marcus and the rest of the Militiamen threw another Frag grenade over the barricades. This time, dozens of cries came and went as no more American soldiers began to come back and replace the others.
"GET MOVING!" Marcus ordered to the Militiamen as they began rushing up the stairs. The first man was shot by a waiting American, who was quickly killed by the woman with her Ak. Marcus charged up the back and followed, clearing a first room with a Frag. Cries came and went as Marcus rushed the room with his Tommy Gun. A closet, big enough to hid someone was beside a bed. Marcus could hear sniviling coming from the closet, and fired a quick burst into the wooden structure. The sniviling stopped, and a limp lifeless body fell out and collapsed partially on the bed. It seemed the others had cleared the other two staircases as well, and were making progress.
The time was 2:58am. The team had to work quick but carefully to clear the rooms. In less than an hour, it would be time for them to evacuate Victoria, and cross over to Vancouver. Marcus hoped the American Northern Command was still at their base, getting fitted, allowing time for them to escape towards the docks. Only time could tell.
