Chapter 4 | Update 26 : Code Black Jack
>Code Black Jack<
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Several Days Later
The training camp erupted in alarms and echoed over the hills. Unscheduled for the day, the camp turned into a beehive. Trainees and base personnel rushed into readiness, not know why the alarms were sounding.
Inside the cabin on the north hill, Tessa barged out of the door and out onto the deck. She stared through the trees toward the main camp near the beach, wondering what was going on. One of the base personnel then came running up the hill out of the trees toward her. His sidearm was attached to this thigh.
Seargent Kith: Tessa! Get your gear, we're leaving!
Tessa: What!? Why? What's with the alarms?
Seargent Kith: Something just happened overseas. Command is recalling all special forces to the mainland for standby, c'mon we have to get to camp!
Tessa stared on confused all to hell, but nodded and being prepared from the few days she had been there, was already carrying her pack and sidearm. The both of them turned toward the trees and sprinted into the woods, heading downhill toward the beach.
At the beach near camp, military helos arrived. A Hawk quickly descended down to the beach and landed, kicking up sand from it's rotors. At the same moment, two Sparrow gunships flew over the beach as Tessa and Seargent Kith ran into camp, making their way to the beach.
Island Wide Comm: Attention all personnel, Code Black Jack, repeat Code Black Jack. All personnel prepare for immediate extraction to the mainland. This is not a drill. Repeat--
Tessa and Kith ran toward the Hawk on the beach. Passing through the cloud of sand and dust, they quickly and easily jumped aboard and took a seat in the troop compartment, accompanying fellow soldiers holding rifles and sub-machine guns. They looked just as confused as Tessa.
Tessa turned to Kith just as the rotors began to speed up, kicking up more sand before lifting off into the air.
Tessa: Seargent!? What's Code Black Jack mean!?
Tessa had to yell over the thumping of the blades as they slowly spun to the left and then began to glide along the beach.
Seargent Kith: Code Black Jack is used when the government officials of an allied country are killed!
Tessa stared wide eyed as the helo gained speed and came up on the end of the island, heading toward the mainland. Some of the other soldiers around them overheard and stared at Kith as well, one shaking his head while another stared at the metal floor.
Hawk Pilot: Cheltali Tower, Helo Super 4-2 inbound. ETA 18 minutes.
The helos were already lifting off with the rest of the base personnel. They were all heading back home.
Training was cut short as they were being whisked away to the mainland.
Just as everyone thought the world around them became peaceful again, danger and new threats emerged to take the place of the last.
