[Issue 3] Corrosion(part 2) [TWG]

A tall man sits in a torn couch in a small, tattered apartment. The wallpaper was peeling and yellowed, beer cans littered the floor, to be stepped on accidentally. The plumbing barely works, and clogs often. It only has a stove with two gas burners, but it would suffice for his diet, consisting of Ramen, Macaroni and Cheese, spaghetti, and sandwiches. An old T.V. replays last nights news.

 

“An unknown bomber has just destroyed the Hoover Dam, causing massive floods and casualties. Nobody knows who did this, and with so many visitors, it is impossible to tell who did it. There seems to be no suspects, stay tuned America.”

 

Former police lieutenant Price turns off the T.V.  He is considered the best policeman around or at least he was. After a few charges against him for excessive use of force, he retired from the police, and joined the Army. An elite sniper, he was dishonorably discharged due to an event known only as operational group known as R.A.I.D. Reconnaissance Advantage Identification Destruction. They would go behind enemy lines to disrupt and destroy enemy facilities. He was discharged from the group and dishonorably discharged from England's Army. The other person discharged with him was John, a structural and demolition engineer.

 

Now living alone in Upstate New York, he keeps his head down, avoiding the police. He is Public enemy number one for a string due to his other job. He also happens to be a world renowned sniper and bounty hunter for hire. Known as the most expensive, yet efficient sniper, he has yet to fail a mission.

 

Price knows that his time in this apartment is almost up. He has noticed a continued police presence that has been escalating in the past week. He has noticed it is on a schedule. Monitoring the front of the building more closely, almost ignoring the back. Only one sweep one day. This disturbed him. He knows that people are too careful when things are related to him. Tempting him into a trap. For the years he has been working as a sniper and bounty hunter, he noticed that people tend to make mistakes when noticing patterns, they tend to charge in, thinking they have found an opening, when instead, they become trapped.

 

He knew he needed to go out through the front. Every patrol took 5 minutes to go bye, and then another would go by in 34 minutes. After the first pass, he must calmly exit the building, and make it to the nearest pub. He then will get a ride out of the city, leaving him on his own. after this, he must develop something new.

 

He heads out, looking for any suspicious activity, finding none, he continues down the street. He makes it to the pub with 7 seconds to spare. Upon entering the pub, he takes a seat, and orders a slice of pizza. Before the slice comes though, a man comes and sits next to him. This man was not his ride though, his name was John.

“Hello Price, I have not seen you in a while.” John stands up, Price does the same.

“It’s nice to see you buddy.” Says Price, embracing his good friend.

“I haven’t seen you in a while John, what brings you over here, and how did you find me?”

“Oh, Yeah Price, I needed your help, and I have some contacts, I was hired to destroy a building, actually, not just any building, but Big Ben. I need some help infiltrating and cover, just like what we did in R.A.I.D.”

“Sounds like fun, who hired you?”

“Tucker, Tucker Rall.”

“You still work with him, he does the most dangerous stuff around. If you fail, you die, usually.”

“Yeah well, not always, remember that Dam problem, that was me.”

“Saw on the news, how about we head out to a less public area, this place makes me feel uncomfortable.”

“Yeah sure”

They head outside and grab a Taxi, going to the local airport.

“You said we were going to destroy Big Ben, how exactly, and why do you need me?”

“I need to let Tucker tell you that. Lets just say that we need cover.”

“Sounds like a plan to me.”

They go onto the resting Learjet, and head across the Atlantic, to inevitable destruction, both of property and lives.

 

To be continued.
