WW2(Old Version, Rewritten up!)

Chapter 9: In The Italian Base

A Greek base not too distant from the 1st Corps laid in the increasingly cold environment. A small room, locked and guarded sat in the base as its inhabitants planned an intelligence mission.

Everyone in The Black Seagulls sat in the room as not even the natural light of the sun could seep into the room. Juels set an areal photograph over an Italian base on the table. It was relatively small with certain weak points. A few watchtowers around the perimeter, the amount of space seemed to house 200 soldiers.

Juels commanded to the team, "Our mission is to break into the Italian HQ, see if we can find any intel on any possible actions around Argyrocastro and the Drina Valley. The Italians are putting heavy resistance, it would be helpful if we found out their next course of action."

John questioned, "Alright, how do we do this? I presume setting off the whole base about our whereabouts is off-limits."

"There is a convoy that should be arriving at the base for much-needed reinforcements. We sneak on using that convoy and make our way to the Commander's office. He's bound to have some information about this."

Devil's Ace stood up, "I will be nearby, if you guys turn this mission hot, I'll be sure to get y'all out of there."

"If it all goes to plan," Juels pointed at the map where the base is located, "We shouldn't need you."

Night fell as the air was coated in cold weather. At the back of some trucks, Juels sat nervously attempting to stop his shiver to no avail. He looked at Anker who sat amongst the bullets and guns, as his eyes rolled back, and his breath became shallow, he was startled awake by the sharp turn of the truck.

The mission comprised the two of them only, which fed Juels' nerves yet relived Anker's. The truck slowed down as the speaking of men shimmered in the air.

"Anker, it's time."

Anker nodded as he got into position. The truck being the last was de-loaded furthest away from the main base. 5 soldiers began bringing the boxes out as the pair kept still with two suppressed pistols gripped in between the palm of their hands. As the soldiers removed the boxes revealing them, they opened fire. Anker killed 3 of them with quick consecutive shots.

Juels whispered, "Let's go, we don't have long before they find these bodies."

They jumped out of the truck moving quickly around a corner as to not get detected. With light steps, they moved up a metal case of stairs wrapped around the length of the building and into a nearby empty room.

After some searching, they moved to the hallway to a window located at the top of the staircase. The window leads straight to the next building after a gap.

"If we make it to the roof, we'd have a clear vantage point. See where the soldiers are moving to, see if there is an opening to the building with the commander's office." Juels explained.

Anker chuckled, "Just don't fall yeah," as he opened the window sending a draft of air into the room. "Ladies first?"

"Go on then," Juels smiled.

"Alright," Anker jumped from the window and with his grip, clung onto the windowsill. Moving his legs to grab onto the vertical brick wall, he reached his arm out to the edge of the roof which wasn't too far up. Eventually, and quickly made his way to the top.

Juels followed his footsteps and in record speed, they made their way to the other end of the rooftop. 

"Okay Juels, the commander's building is just up ahead beside the storage house. By the looks of it, there are going to make their way to our truck in about 5 minutes. Maybe 10 if we are lucky."
