116 The Distraction Kai POV | watched as my lovely wife and Jason entered the car and then drove away with the assigned escort. Ben, Charlie, and | start making our way to the main warehouse next door.
My wife. | love the sound of that title. But my poor baby looks so tired even after six hours of sleep.
“Do you think we should call the doctor for Aurora? She's been sleeping a lot more and seems a little spaced out.” | asked the guys as we entered the side of the building using Ben's keycard.
“Hmm. Yeah, you're right. | don’t think it would hurt to make sure everything is okay. Dimitry coming back is hard on all of us, but | can only imagine what she is going through right now. We need to finish this once and for all.” Charlie said with a sad smile on his face.
“I agree. Aurora will be safe at home. Jason has already ordered triple reinforcement. The first plane will arrive within the hour and two convoys have arrived and already checked in and on assignment. | am going to go to check in with the Nerds and see if | can track that bastard down.” Ben said and walked off.
“See you at hlater?” Charlie asked and | hummed and nodded, still thinking about Aurora. Something doesn’t feel right and | can’t put my finger on it, almost like she is hiding something. But that can’t be right. She is always with us. It’s not like she can keep a secret from us.

“Who? Me? Never.” | replied sarcastically with a shit-eating grin on my face. I love new toys! | happily increased my pace and headed downstairs and through the labyrinth of corridors until | got to the Omega headquarters. | scanned my handprint, retina, and embedded wrist chip and the door clicked open.
| walked in and saw the best and brightest hanging out at the tables and sofas, all of them laughing and talking while sharpening or cleaning their weapons. “Honey! I'm home!” | sang, with my arms outstretched. The guys stopped their chatter and immediately stood at attention.
“At ease soldiers,” | commanded and they relaxed but still stood, ready for orders. | began to slowly walk around the space, addressing my men. “Marco has gone too far. He attacked us on our honeymoon and could have hurt Aurora. We are going to find him and kill him, for real this time. No mistakes gentlemen. We will not stop until his head room for hangs on the traitor’s post outside.” A chorus of “ho-rahs‘ rang out in the hall. “Get back to work. | want all our weapons and go-packs ready to go in two hours. Stay armed and ready.” | ordered and headed to the weapons room. Oscar and another one of my favorites, Patrick, cwith me.
We spent the next hour inspecting the new guns and another half hour having fun in the range, testing them out.
These bad boys were military-grade rifles with a fifty-round magazine with bullets that could pierce an armored car; they were light as a feather and as durable as steel. They had an invisible heat sensor and a thousand-foot shooting range.
We were packing up when the building started to shake tically and then the breech alarm began to blare.
The lights turned red and the sirens started to sound off. | went straight to my office, gun in hand. My men were geared up E/l 116-The Distraction and several of them took shooting positions around the room for security. My six lieutenants are in my office waiting for orders.
Oscar pulled up the CCTV footage of the warehouse. Several cameras are out black and several others are covered in smoke. | see many men running around and in two cameras there is a shootout happening near the main dungeon entrance. There is rubble and steel everywhere.
“Can you pull up another angle? See if we can get a better look at their faces.” | command Oscar while pointing to covered men in the corner of the screen. “On it!” he responded and began clicking away like a madman. The video switched instantly and we have an angle behind them.
There are six men, clad in black, but there are two dead men behind them. Oscar zooms into one of the dead men’s faces. “Look boss!” he exclaimed and he pointed to the neck. There is a visible tattoo and it’s the insignia of the Marco mafia. These are Marco’s men. “Fuck!” | shout.
Turning around to see my soldiers, my mind goes military immediately. “Omega One and Three-secure the south side: Teams Two and S. N Five high top support for Rho and Gamma. Oscar you and Elvis on comms, keep the bunker. Team move bitches!” | don’t wait be with me. We are going to the dungeon. | think they are here for Alexi Let's their ass out of my office before | grab my bulletproof vest and bolt out the and cock my gun and head down the corridor to our secret door. “No door. | shout for Team Four as | survivors!” | shout to the rest of the teams as they gear up and head to their respective secret doors.
We have secret tunnels and doors all over the facility. Only the Omega Team, lason, Charlic, and Ben know about these tunnels. It's one of the reasons we are called We can pop up out of nowhere. We have a tunnel system even back to the house as a way for emergenc pom and an escape route.
| open the secret panel and my tve-man team stealthily enters, guns up and ready. They pull down their night vision glasses and begin checking every nook and cranny of the blacked-out cemented corridors. There is another violent shake of the building. We hasten our pace and m our way through the halls and cto a steal door with many nobs like a bank vault. I am in the middle of the gan also at the ready. The lead men wait for my signal and | silently give it by tapping my guard on the right three times on the shoulder.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThese tunnels run on manual locks. Each door is a different combination of levers and moving pieces on the door like a puzzle. If you get the combination wrong, it releases booby traps that will render you incapacitated for hours. Part of Omega training is receiving the wrong combination on purpose to experience what happens when you don’t pay attention. We are the best for a reason.
The guard puts in the combination and we hear the beautifull sound of the three locks clicking open. The door cracks open and we waste no trushing in. The door is hidden in a fake cell. We head to the bars and open the door with ease. The entire dungeon is laced with a dark red light, casting a very eene glow on the iron bars.
The smell of blood and decay would be revolting to most. We make our way through the cell Boot, hearing the moans and pleas of our prisoners as we pass The two men stop before we reach the next turn, halting all of our silent steps. The one on my left holds up his hand nd signals silently that there is a disturbance up ahead and to wait. He creeps up the end of the wall and removes a small camera from his vest. He clicks a few buttons and a small screen enters my glasses so we can all see what is going on. Three men are trying to open one of our prison doors. It’s Alex’s cell and they are talking quietly while wiring the door frame.
11 | use sign language to communicate with my men who are looking at me. Take them out is all | say. Within two 116 - The Distraction breaths, all five of my men took their positions in a pyramid formation in the open hall and trained their guns on the men who were too busy arguing with each other.
With a simple snap of fingers: POP, POP, POP, POP, POP. Three thuds echoed softly and a small “not” could be heard down the hall. The men made their way still in formation to the bodies. | followed behind them lazily. They cup to the men and two of them put their guns away and removed the zip ties from their pockets, securing the dead bodies With another simple snap, the three remaining guards with guns fired another few rounds at the corpses just in case they twitched.
| turned my attention to Alexi who was slumped by the bars. He looked up atin defeat and said “This was distraction. Dimitry will not stop until he has Aurora. He is convinced she belongs to him. He was supposed to rescuetwo months ago. It was all a trap. | have a chip inand the kid named Wes in your tech group works for us. He put a virus in the system with the key | snuck in for him. | was never supposed to stay here but everyone betrayedHe has no loyalty so | will show more loyalty to him. Find Aurora. Kill him. Now please, kill me.” Alexu said, his breathing labored and weak.
| raised my loaded gun and said “Thank you for your cooperation. You are free.” And | pulled the trigger. A nice perfect hole now rested in the center of his forehead.
