Rescue from the Nightmare

[alertcommando]

The door opens into the streets of a small abandoned village: it is night, a chilly autumn night.

The bright moon in the sky makes the numerous footprints of heavy boots and the even more numerous prints from attack dogs' paws clearly visible. The ground also shows tire marks and the tracks from an Armored Personnel carrier. A keen eye might also notice spent bullet casings here and there.

Unfortunately, none of those seems much recent.

Mary Anne murmurs her own thanks and takes a seat on the edge of a bed, setting her bag between her feet while she checks over her rifle.

Ingrid shakes head, leaning to the door. "No. There is food in the fridge and pantry, and the water works. Turn off the lights if you want to look out the windows." Obviously, she is there to also answer any other questions.

"Sounds good." Lucy starts to unload her pack onto the table. Oh yeah, one question. "Are we incommunicado here? Will we be able to contact you or anything? We two will probably not be wandering around town."

"Keeping our heads down for two days is our biggest goal," Mary Anne adds in agreement, not looking up from her gun.

"And if we're going across on that evening ferry, when should we be ready to move? Sunset of that day?"

"Two hours before sunset, I guess. I dont know the plan the boss has in mind, but from what I know, you will go with one of our operatives, get the first ferry, hide in the island until most of the support crew leaves. You should strike by mid-morning as the transport chopper arrives, secure it, go in, grab your friend and get out."

"Of course it would mean you need to have a distraction for the patrol boats, or you will be shot down quickly."

Lucy's already up to her wrists in her electronics. She's been running the circuit in her head and she thinks she can boost the effective range by a few hundred feet. She shoots a smile at their host. "We'll think of something."

Mary Anne nods, switching her attention from rifle to pistol, and mulling over uses for the explosives in her bag.

"Thanks again for your help."

"Thank me by not screwing up our work here." The girl shrugs. "There are motion trackers in the hallway. If someone approaches, the light flashes." She indicates an orange LED above the door.

"If whoever comes to the door says 'It is me' and gives a name, there is a secret door in the back of the closet: it means the Reds busted us."

"Good to know." Both warnings are appreciated; Lucy looks up long enoug to smile at their host/guest. "Thanks, and we won't let you down." Then she digs for her component kit and soldering iron.

So many plans and adjustments to make, so little time.

The corner of her mouth quirks, hidden by the fall of her hair and her bowed head. The girl sounds much like she would have if someone showed up in her part of the jungle uninvited.

"We won't," she echoes.

And now it's time to check the knives.

And later, it will be time to rest (http://tanyadams.livejournal.com/7738.html?thread=172346#t172346).
