Another chapter in the Gatecrasher Saga

Jessica was about to close her eyes when the radio next to her buzzed to life. The former cheerleader and honor student sat up and grabbed it quickly. “Wildcat actual, we need you team ready to go in five minutes, section 8 needs back up, now”. “Roger command, we’ll be in the motor pool in four”. Jessica sprung up, sprinted to her locker and nudged the other bed on her way there. Kay stirred, rolled over and fell out of her bed. She picked herself up and saw the urgency in Jessica’s movements. She rushed to her own locker and started to put on her all black combat gear. Jessica was on her radio alerting the rest of the team. Jessica then turned to her and told her Section 8 was in trouble and they had to book it to the motor pool. In less than 30 seconds both were clad in their special ops gear and running out the door. They met Jamie and Angela at the stairwell and proceeded to run down to the motor pool. Where’s Kevin someone asked and Kay responded that he is getting the SUV ready. As the four of them rushed into the motor pool, Commander Booker was sitting there next to their vehicle, ready to give them a hasty mission briefing. They were to convoy with elements of the 3rd platoon tank squad, 4th platoon heavy weapons squad and 1st platoon infantry, head up to sector bravo in Virginia. They were to set up a hasty defense and wait for section 8 to arrive. Their main priority was to get the captured truck back to base and in the hands of the eggheads. There are undetermined amounts of enemy but the biggest problem is the nightmare machine section 8 has to outrun. Only one of those bad boys has been destroyed before and we lost five squads doing it. Wildcat squad acknowledged the order and climbed into their vehicle. The ground crew in the motor pool escorted them out of the structure and they waited for the rest of the convoy. Moments later three tanks, and several sedans and SUV’s showed up. The infantry vehicles took the lead, followed by section 6, with the tanks and the heavy weapon squads mixed in to complete the convoy. It was about a 20 minute drive with about 5-10 minutes to set up before section 9 hopefully makes it in one piece. Jessica chattered on the radio with the rest of the vehicles, setting up the plan for a hasty defense. There would be snipers in the buildings, tanks in the cover waiting to ambush, the heavy weapons squad lying in wait to hopefully take out the nightmare machine with the pulse cannon, the rail gun and the recoilless rifle they had. Wildcat squad the rest of the infantry would be at the front line, taking the blow of the Zenos attack. Minutes later Jessica put down the radio, checked her rifle and took the side mounted machine gun and watched the scenery go by, not saying a word.
