Chapter 57: Erik Tarasovich IV
The ’Cardinal’s crew’ moved in the shadows, clad in an all-black ensemble. Black tactical clothing, bulletproof helmet with night vision goggles attached, bulletproof vests, kneecap pads, gloves, and boots. Fully equipped with semi-automatics, smoke screen, carry armor-puncturing knives, and M203 Grenade Launcher.
Attached to their CA carbine assault rifles were, a 4x ACOG sight, holographic sight, Close Combat Optic (CCO) sight, and PEQ-15 Aiming Laser and Flashlight.
The group of four stealthily maneuvered around the location, where they received the SOS signal. It was an abandoned storage unit in East London. The surroundings are empty, away from residences, something good for them, they don’t have to worry about the noise they will be making.
While Beta positioned himself on top of their parked Van a distance away. He was lying on his stomach, with eyes glued on the scope of his Remington CSR. Finger on the trigger.
"I have a visual of the Cardinal, alive. 6 combatant and Mr. Jackson on the premises. I have a target locked to a man with a gun aimed at the Cardinal. Ready to shoot, Captain." Beta said over the earpiece. His finger on to the trigger.
Charlie stood before the circuit breaker at the back of the storage.
"In position," he informed, through the earpiece.
"Beta standby, eye on the Cardinal. Shoot only when necessary. You know her instructions, avoid casualties at all cost." Alpha instructed, and the group stealthily maneuvered around the storage unit.
Satisfied that everyone was in position, Alpha positioned the Night vision goggles attached to their helmets and the group followed his cue.
Then he said in a hushed tone over the earpiece,
"Cut the lights."
