I was waiting patiently in the car hidden behind bushes beside the road...waiting. My concentration was suddenly interrupted as my handheld transceiver or walkie-talkie barked out information.
"Subject on the loose, heading towards sector D7."
Just as that sentence finished, a big black car raced right in front of me and was out of sight as quick as it had appeared, the car was followed by a police car. I immediately turned on my siren and drove onto the road and floored the accelerator to catch up with the criminals. My adrenalin was pumping through my veins as I grew more anxious. I eventually caught up with the criminal's car, but I wasn't completely able to go faster than them. Seeing that I had closed in the distance between me and the criminal I pulled out my megaphone while still trying to drive the car and shouted "Pull over immediately!"

I really didn't know what the point of that was actually. I know that there not going to just pull over all of a sudden, but I guess it's a tradition for police to shout that or something. The black car kept on racing forward down the road as if hadn't heard us. Now I was beginning to realize a loud noise beginning to grow, helicopter backup I immediately realized, somebody must have called them, a good thing too. The helicopter soon came into our windshield view and was racing toward the black car which can now be identified to be an SUV.
The radio suddenly spoke, "Road block in place. Just further down the highway."

I smiled, my team had specialized cars, more powerful engines for the chasers and reinforced steel and plating on the sides for the cars made for road blocking. As my chasing partner and I continued to chase the SUV the road block was getting nearer ahead and I was getting more anxious to see what would happen next. The SUV saw the road block and slowed down to a stop realizing that they can't penetrate that road block. The SUV was quickly surrounded by reinforcements.

I pulled out my pistol as I got out of the car, leaving the car door open as my cover. I aimed my pistol at the car waiting for something to happen. Somebody got out a megaphone and shouted "Come out with your hands up! Your under arrest!" As if they didn't know that. A few seconds passed, then the driver seat of the car door opened, a foot came out. Then both the back door of the car opened one head came out on one side and a hand on the other. This was the tense part, the climax of this mission, it could go all calm from here or heat up more. They could have guns prepared to shoot us, nothing I haven't been through before but bullets are not exactly the things you want to be heading towards you. I was predicting they would give up easily, they were out gunned and out numbered, they have no chance. As usual, I was wrong. The driver of the SUV had a shotgun in hand and shot the road block, I saw the police yelp in surprise as holes appeared in the cars. The two people who came from the back had pistols and Uzi's. They scanned the area and shot towards my area, I could see anger, desperation and despair in their eyes. I quickly ducked behind my door, the window was bullet proof and absorbed a few shots while the rest flew over my head. I went behind my car to avoid any more bullets toward me. I've been through these situations before gunfights and all, it was no problem, but bullets are exactly the thing you want heading towards you. From behind the car I admired the road behind me for a second, a long straight stretch of pavement, trees and plants on the side of it. I'm surprised that there's currently no traffic, as it is a high way after all. Then I realized that all entrances to this high was blocked during the chase. I zoned back into reality and made up a plan. The guy with the Uzi was still looking for me, the guy with the pistol went off shooting somewhere else. I came up with a plan, going it through in my head, satisfied I executed it. I made a move to the opposite side of the car, faking that I was going to come out there, showing half of my body out of cover, this got his attention and he directed his bullets to my side. I then jumped back behind the car and ran back to the other side where my car door was open, he still hasn't noticed me yet on the other side. I was hoping he wouldn't, I took aim at him, satisfied with my aim, I squeezed the trigger.

The bullet raced of the barrel and hit dead center at his gun, it flew into a nearby bush. I glared at him daring him to move to retrieve it. It was probably broken anyway with a bullet in its system. The criminal knew it was hopeless and raised his hands, surrendering himself. He was immediately arrested and dragged into a police car. I searched for the guy with the pistol, I didn't find him. I'm assuming for now that he was already arrested. I glanced around, all the remaining criminals were now behind their black SUV shooting at the road block. I suddenly had a crazy suicidal idea. I ran from my cover ignoring shouts from my teammates. I ran and jumped on top of the black SUV, making my way towards the bad guys. I was soon standing right on top of them and they hadn't noticed me yet. They were still busy shooting some cars. I aimed my pistol at the drivers shotgun, fired and it fell to the ground right in front of his eyes. The other guy however I did not see before, I assume that he was in the navigators seat and didn't come out till later when the battle first happened. He had a rifle and was aiming it like he was a sniper. The driver got up and tried to punch me, I easily took him out with a kick in the face. The guys with the rifle had still not noticed that his partner was on the floor so I took aim and put an end to the life of his rifle. I then jumped down and tackled him, hitting him many times with the butt of my gun. I eventually got the handcuffs on him and he was dragged away. I smiled at my victory.

Another job done I thought, I glanced at the area around me, so much destruction. I then looked at my car, wrecked. Either its me getting a new one or making a lot of repairs, and me... I can't do repairs. The glass is almost to shattering point, bullet holes on the windshields, the windshield wiper is about to fall off, bullet holes on the side of my car, my siren is shattered and of course, a busted wheel. Its going to have to do for now I thought and drove back to my station.

Back at the station I was showered with compliments about my bravery and skill, although most joked about me being a homicidal maniac. My boss had filed a report on it and he said that I was going to make it big some day. I doubted that, I mean just one mission is going to help me make it big? I didn't think that was going to happen, but you know, as usual, I was wrong again.

I was drinking coffee early in the morning one day at the station, it was 4 days after my big show off. I was sitting back in my chair admiring my office, I had a desk placed by the back of the room a book shelf in the right corner and a computer on the desk with tons of files placed next to it, a name tag was stuck at the front of the desk with "Sparky" on it. Above Sparky was my real name, it's crossed out and scribbled all over however as I prefer sparky better and had adopted that nickname few years ago. My boss gave it to me saying that I am a spark, it holds great potential but can also lead to great disasters, comes unexpected and quickly vanishes if its not cared for. I liked that name ever since it had been given to me.

"Sparky, please meet Mr. Gills in his office." I suddenly sat up straight with attention, did I do something wrong? I waited to see if there was something more, there was none. So I headed out of my office thinking what could this be about. On my way heading toward Mr. Gills office I met my friend Darren. When he saw me he winked and said "Don't get fired man, your going to have no friends without me." He patted my shoulder and headed on his way from the coffee station back to his office.

Mr. Gills office was a big office with 2 windows on each side, and a leather sofa beside the door. A desk was placed in front of the door a meter away. A computer on it and a ton of files just like mine. When I entered, Mr. Gills was talking to two strangers. When I entered he motioned me to sit down with his hand.
"These people here are -" Mr. Gills started to say.
"We'll introduce ourselves sir, if you will." Interrupted one of the strangers, he was wearing a t-shirt with a tank exploding on it, kind of cheesy in my opinion. "We are part of a new special ops corps, trained with the military we are the main tank battalion of the military, we have superior technology over most branches of the military. We only recruit people who we think have potential in them, only the best of the best." He paused and took a sip of water and continued. "We recently heard of your outbreak of strategic and courage, although I must agree that it was a bit suicidal." He glanced uneasily at Mr. Gills and said "We would like to recruit you."
