Texas, U.S.A
The ringing of his phone wakes Steve up; he answers the call
on the third ring with the person on the other line saying “Black Star, we have
a mission for you. Do you accept?”
“Yes.” Steve replies as he sits up straight on the bed fully
alert.
“A few days ago, we captured a man that defected from us
during an operation with Burner in Cyprus. The man was tracked to the U.K and
captured by Ghost. He was interrogated and divulged information that he was
meant to meet up with someone in the U.S this night. The location of that
meeting is being sent to you now. Get to the place and find out what you can.”
“No problem.” Steve says as he hangs up.
Steve grabs his jacket, checks to see if his gun is loaded
and carries the keys to his car. He locks the door to his apartment and heads
towards the parking lot. He enters the car and drives for the next one hour to
the location sent to him. He parks a few blocks from the location, gets out of
the car and approaches the building on foot. It is a residential area so the
area is quiet by this time of the night. He sees the house where the meeting is
supposed to happen, thinks about whether to go in or not. He decides to go in
through the back of the house.
As he approaches the back, he sees a man armed with a gun
sitting in a chair. Steve sneaks up behind him and uses the butt of his gun to
knock the man unconscious. He looks through the window into the house and sees
two figures. He gets to the door at the back and is about to open it when he
hears “Don’t move.” Steve stays as he is. The voice says “Throw away your
weapon and put your hands up.” Steve does as he is told. “Now turn around.”
Steve turns around and sees a man pointing a gun at him. The man shouts into
the house. “Boss, I got something out here.” The backdoor that Steve was about
to enter through opens and out steps a man. Steve looks back and sees the
Chief.
The Chief looks at Steve “I know this man. He works with me.”
The man pointing the gun at Steve said “I caught him creeping
around the house. He had a gun on him and plus he knocked out Alfred.” The man
says as he points to the gun on the floor and at the man that was unconscious
on the chair.
The Chief looks at the gun and the man that was unconscious.
He processes it all and then he looks at Steve. “You did not come here. You
were sent here. Weren’t you?” Steve just remains quiet. “Now I understand.” The
Chief says as a matter of fact. He closes the door behind him and picks up
Steve’s gun. He tells the other man “Go and get the car ready. We are heading
out.” The man disappears into the night. It is just Steve and the Chief now.
Steve looks at the houses around. He knows this area is
populated with people so there is no way the Chief would risk pulling the
trigger here. He swings his elbow back and hits the Chief knocking him down.
Steve begins to run and jumps behind a bush. He brings out his phone and dials
the number that called him over an hour ago. He hears the Chief headed in his
direction. Steve locks his phone and puts it back into his pocket. The Chief
sees him on the ground and says “If you try that again. It would be your last
move, now get up.” A car pulls up near the house and the Chief tells Steve to
get in. He gets in doing his best to act normal because he knew that as long as
he was not searched, the people who sent him were listening to everything that
was being said.
