Chapter 2 - TREACHEROUS WALLS

Currently in the year 2023, Nero's crimes increase in

violence and brutality with each passing day. But unfortunately for them,

Project FD is intercepting and neutralizing every attack that they want to

produce on a large scale.

 Today,

March 17, the criminal organization is storming Lisbon City Hall, taking all

the politicians and employees inside the building hostage. With terrorists

armed to the teeth, covering every corner inside and outside the city hall. And

like all of Nero's attacks, the motives are completely unknown.

 Two black

armored vans park quickly a few meters from the building. It is the FD squad,

already equipped with the black combat uniforms, plate-carrying vests, weapons

and tools necessary for the operation.

 Being more

agile and faster, Alexander, Hikaru and Cristina throw the hooks towards the

roof of the building, and proceed to climb to the windows of the top floor.

While George and Elsa are waiting for their companions to burst through the

windows, to distract the enemies, take advantage of the chaos and enter through

the back door.

 ELSA: Guys, whenever you want...

 HIKARU:Doctor,

we need a minute!

 The window where Hikaru is located is being protected

by an armed terrorist. This delays your jump until the room is clear.

 ALEXANDER: Hurry up or I'll miss the appointment with

the Spanish woman.

  CRISTINA: Not in your wettest dreams, cunt!

 GEORGE: If the

boss allowed relationships between the members, maybe he would believe you...

 ALEXANDER: …

 Just as he

was about to open his mouth again, he is interrupted by the commander.

 STEVE:

¡Enough foolishness! You are members of

an elite special force, not some high school kids.

 CRISTINA: But if

he has started...

 STEVE: Elsa, how

are things going down there?

 ELSA: George and I are still waiting, captain.

 STEVE: ¿Hikaru…?

 HIKARU:I think

they're gone, but I'm not really sure. The truth is that I don't see them.

 ALEXANDER: Your words are music to my

ears.

 Tied to the rope of the hook, he exerts strength in

his legs and takes a great push backwards.

 CRISTINA: Is he crazy?!

 STEVE: ¡Síganle!

 Hikaru and Cristina quickly make the same movement as

Alexander, and almost synchronized, each one enters through their respective

windows like speeding bullets.

 The rooms

where the three land are clear, but Cristina hears footsteps approaching the

door of the office in which she is located.

 CRISTINA: Captain, I have problems.

  STEVE: Don't worry... How many are there?

 CRISTINA: From

the sound of the steps, it seems like two.

 He doesn't have time to give more details as the door

opens and two men armed with assault rifles burst in. Cristina, with her gun in

her hand, quick as lightning, shoots the first one right in the head, while the

second one puts two bullets in his chest, leaving them both asleep instantly.

 STEVE: Cristina!, do you receive me? 

 CRISTINA: Yes,

captain! Although they should already be looking like crazy for us.

 ALEXANDER: You

are a woman who knows how to get noticed, darling.

 CRISTINA: It's

already starting... Heavy!

 The commander quickly interrupts them over the radio.

 STEVE: George, come in now!

 He and Elsa proceed to carry out the captain's orders,

and using the battering ram, George breaks down the back door in an instant.

 Hikaru

walks out into the hallway and finds himself in absolute silence and

loneliness. A good reason to advance with silent steps, like a lynx before

hunting its prey.

 Cristina

runs desperately to find a place to hide, while she keeps looking at the

thermal radar that she has anchored to her hand in the shape of a watch. This

helps you see a detailed 2D map of your surroundings, so you can locate nearby

enemies. 

 The

commotion is through the roof inside the building, as the sounds of breaking

glass jumping, Cristina's shots, and the forced entry of Gerard and Elsa caused

extreme tension for the members of Nero.

 Alexander

also goes out into the hallways, silent and fast, in search of Cristina. Even

though he enjoys making her angry, for some reason he always protects her.

 ALEXANDER: Pretty, where are you?

 CRISTINA: Where

you don't find me...

 ALEXANDER: Ha ha ha. You're funny today huh. Just take

care of yourself, I wouldn't want anything to happen to you.

 STEVE: Very nice

all lovebirds, but focus on the mission. Cristina, where are you?

 CRISTINA: Yes

captain. I'm two rooms away from Alex.

 ALEXANDER: Alex?

Since when have you called me that, "Cris"?

 CRISTINA: ¡Don't

get your hopes up, idiot! Come rescue me at once, I have several people looking

for me!

  STEVE: Where are they? Alex, be careful!

 ALEXANDER: How

easy it is to say it from the communications table, captain...

 STEVE: Very

funny, but don't forget that I have been fighting for much longer than you

will.

 CRISTINA: Here,

for a fool!

 While

looking for Cristina, Alexander notices footsteps that can be heard running

towards his location. There are five armed men alerted by the disturbances in

the area. The boy quickly opens the door to one of the rooms, and proceeds to

hide inside. But the plan does not go very well, because the individuals who

approach hear his footsteps and the door.

 ???: There

it is!

 Says one of

the terrorists, quickly realizing that the room is open. And preparing their

weapons, they try to ambush him.

 CRISTINA: Don't worry... I'm next door, just let me

know when.

 STEVE: Be

careful!

 HIKARU:I think I'm close too, I heard people

running a few meters away.

 As they approach, Alexander throws a smoke grenade

from behind the door. A situation that undoubtedly suits him, since he is more

agile and a better hand-to-hand combatant than anyone.

 ALEXANDER: Now, but don't shoot, fight?

 In the blink of an eye, the boy penetrates the smoke

like a Black Mamba when he sinks his fangs. He knows he can't use the gun,

since it could hurt Cristina when she gets close. Therefore, he prefers to use

one of his favorite weapons, the knife.

 The enemies

quickly notice Alexander's presence within the smoke. They start shooting

forward without thinking, because fear is bigger than reason for them at this

moment.

 Alexander

brutally stabs the knife right into the leg of the first one he attacks, and

then delivers a strong blow with his elbow right into the jaw, leaving him

unconscious instantly. He pulls the knife from his knee, using it again. This

time to slit the throat of another subject, with such delicacy and speed that

not even the third subject realized the event.

 CRISTINA: I can't see you! Where are you?

 The smoke is about to expand almost completely. And

Cristina manages to see the last terrorist standing, surrounded by a pool of

chilling blood, as if an animal had attacked them in a matter of seconds.

 ALEXANDER: Here's the last one...
