Chapter 14: Operation Breaking Dawn
North Wing
I decided to make a last minute meeting to discuss the recent arrangements and the whole security measures that we needed to follow in this raid. It was a big challenge for all of us, because this was our first important drug raid since I started to running the DEA agency and the new squad that we have been chosen.
Emmett and I had to make sure for our own security and the safeness of our team members that every single gap was tightly closed. We had to verify and clarify any doubt or question that they got on the last minute and he headed to the house using the maps that were provided by Mike, and of course our previous investigations on the GPS database system.
“Ok guys… listen up! We need to be sure that all of you had learned and understood all the security measures that we need to follow during this exercise. Remember, our team safety is our primary concern. If someone got hurt during this raid, you guys have to make sure that one of your teammates is going to help you. I ask you guys once again that we have to remain closely together, just in case they try to ambuscade us inside and outside that house. You have to follow all my instructions by the book, no question ask. Is that clear?” I explained one last time before the big show started.
“Yes sir” everyone answered in chorus.
“Anyone got a question, doubt, concern, comment that needs to be clarified for some reason?”
No one raised their hands or asked anything else.
“Well, since we all are in the same page, I will let Emmett to say some of the final instructions for his teammates”
Emmett clapped and rubbed his hands together. Then he sighed heavily. He was beyond dramatic in moments like these one.
“Bitches, my only words for you are: DON’T FUCK IT! Or I would be forced to kick your sloppy asses out of my team. I am simpler in my request than my brother here” he said patting me in the back.
“Understood?”
“Yes sir” they answered again and all of us moved out from the conference room.
We lined up both of our teams in the headquarters lot to verify our points of attack and the strategy plan displayed on the maps for the last time. Then all the five jet black, blinded windows vans were parked in front of us. Emmett decided to make groups of fifteen agents, so they could be comfortable on each of the five vans. Emmett and I rode together; because I wanted to check one last time our already reviewed plan of action.
As soon as we got near the perimeter of the house, I gave my teammates the latest information about the formation we needed to do when we arrived to the house we were going to hit. We were hidden in the woods surrounding the house, so the night and the darkness played an important role in our advantage. Emmett and I decided that the best way to force our entry inside that house was if both groups choose different points of entry, then Emmett choose to take the South wing of the house; so I took the North wing with all my teammates following closely behind me.
The house was barely lighted and we couldn’t see anything through the windows because of the thick curtains. The surrounding woods were an extra for us; it was kind of a camouflage so we moved closer to watch if there was anyone on the outside of it.
“Nobody gets separated for any reason. We need to be together all the time, no matter what; fellows please, just follow my instructions as I dictate them at all time. Don’t try to play heroes with these people, they are extremely dangerous and we don’t know certainly what kind of weapons they got and how many of them are inside. So, once again I ask you guys that follow my instructions all the time” I almost whispered in the small device installed on my helmet.
All our team members could hear the instructions Emmett and I gave to them by one small earplug inside their helmets. We were sufficiently near the house already, but I wanted to make sure that everything was in perfect order. I didn’t wanted to lose anyone of our teammates or use unnecessary force. I wasn’t a violent man so I decided to act smooth until we knew exactly how many people where inside that mad house. I was waiting for Emmett to confirm that they had reached the previous selected port of entry and if something had happened on their way there. It was just in case they needed our backup.
“All clear Edward” I finally heard Emmett speak through his microphone.
“We are just waiting for your sign and we get inside to knock up those fuckers…” he said; swear I could see a giant grin plastered on his face.
“Copied”
“All positions positively confirmed” he said.
“Copied”
“Expecting further instructions, 10-4” he said to cut the communication.
Emmett really enjoyed his work like nobody else in this agency. I had never known someone that loved the chaos and destruction as Emmett did all his life. I remembered that mom used to call him Destruction Bear when we were kids and I laughed about it. He was always breaking everything at home, because he was unaware of his strength and size. I think he was just too damn big for our childhood house.
“Wait for my sign, Destruction Bear. The party is about to start anytime soon, so behave yourself…” I told him laughing.
Emmett laughed too when he remembered the same anecdote I did.
“We are going in… I’m fucking anxious for a little action, dammed!” Emmett said.
Both teams were stationed and spread around the house; apparently all the people inside were already sleeping. Inside there was not a single movement or noise coming from there. We had to be extremely careful. We needed to stay wide-awake and alert because we didn’t know is these people knew about our presence in that place.
“There’s a negative report of movement or noises in the main point of entrance. Edward, if you want we can keep moving forward” Seth said, he was one of my teammates.
“Copy, Tango. We have a negative report of movement and noises coming from the inside at the south point of entrance as well.” I heard Emmett saying.
“Don’t need to rush guys. Remain calm and alert” I gave them my last words.
“We are waiting for your sign, so we can force our entrance Edward, 10-4” Emmett said.
“Is up to Ed Cullen now. Sir, expecting further orders, 10-4” Seth answered back.
It was time… We were ready… We were finally going in…
“Breaking Dawn”
South Wing
Our sign to move forward and brake into the house was “Breaking Dawn” and when I heard it on Edward’s voice; I knew the action was about to begin. I announced our arrival to the south wing of the house in a shout that filled all the silence and emptiness of that god damned house. No lights were on inside and either were any kind of movement. This was just strange, so fucking wrong. They were supposed to be inside and unaware of our courtesy visit tonight.
“This is the police SWAT team. Open.The.Door!” I shouted and kicked down the door. All my team members entered after I did and stayed close to me as I searched the floor looking for any suspects. I ran through the dining room and into the kitchen area only to find that there wasn’t anybody there. Damn it! “Fuck” I muttered under my breath.
“Tango, south wing all cleared. No visible suspects within the perimeter. I think they could be hiding somewhere around the house.” I told Edward.
I was pissed off, for fuck sake! Where those fuckers could be hiding?
“Beware Emmett; we are going in now” he confirmed that they were doing their correspondent point of entrance.
“10-4” and I cut communication once again.
We entered slowly, traveling through each room with extremely care. I knew that the house wasn’t empty. I don’t know why or how, I just could feel it.
We searched room by room, but we found nothing. Maybe Mike played us wrong and he called these people to let them know we were going to hit them tonight and they were running to another state by this time. Shit!
“SWAT team, stay alert. They could be hidden everywhere” Edward said. I knew him like the palm of my hand, so I could tell for sure that he was getting tense too about this unexpected turn of events.
Those fuckers were just waiting to make their appearance and fucked us.
No man… No, that wasn’t going to happen, not tonight. Therefore we had to be careful because they could be easily hidden somewhere in this house, having the advantage of knowing the place better than we did. It was dark but we got night vision goggles, just in case they we trying to hide in the darkness.
“SWAT team, nothing suspicious on the first floor, it’s all cleared. We expect you on the main entrance, staircase location” Edward said.
“We are already here, north wing still without movement” he said again, confirming his state and location.
“Copy, we are about one hundred feet from you now” I said to confirm my location and to let him know that we were approaching him. We needed to do this to avoid any crossfire within both teams.
“I think they are hiding upstairs. We should go upstairs immediately”
“Em… beware bro… please don’t take any chances… expect further instructions to move, it is an order” Edward said.
“Understood, let’s get started…” I told him a bit annoyed.
“Soon”
“I got it… 10-4” I sighed and cut.
I wasn’t exactly a kind of a patience man so when we were reunited in the staircase, my team was spread into fight and defense position. Edward saw our fight position and he closed his fist to let them know that we all had to stop at his command. After some seconds, he spoke again.
“Move…”
Both teams headed to the end of the staircase. I raised my fist to let the teams know that they had to stop. I look over my shoulder to see if everyone was behind me.
“Move! We are going up…” I said raising my hand and everyone started running upstairs. Emmett passed by and moves in front of me, protecting us from any with bullets attack with his ballistic shield.
“Move!! Move!!” I heard him scream to his partners.
As soon as we stared to move upstairs, again I got the feeling that this wasn’t right. Something was about to happen anytime soon. When we were in the middle of the staircase, a hail of bullets struck, taking us by surprise. We were received by numerous shooting coming from up the stairs. I barely saw the guys running to hide again.
The war definitely had started. This wasn’t going to be an easy task for any of us. This group was alert and waiting to attack if we attempted to go upstairs again. We had to change our strategy plan quickly.
“Back up!! Back up!!” I shouted to the teammates because I couldn’t get anyone injured or for worst, death.
“There someone injured?” I inquired.
“No sir, everyone is fine” I heard someone; I guessed that it was Paul.
“Emmett, how about you guys?” I asked hoping that everyone was fine.
“All good Edward, you don’t worry. We are still behind you. The suspects, I am not sure right now the number yet, but I think they are wagered in a room near the left side of the staircase” Emmett explained.
“You guys saw them?” I asked.
“I saw one guy holding and firing an assault rifle when he came from the left” Emmett said.
“Copied” I told him.
I closed my fist again and every movement behind me immediately stops. Emmett stood beside me just in case I needed him. He got excellent sniper skills, so whenever came to his eagle eye was going to regret it that was for sure…
We needed to use another non tactical way, I needed to open dialog with these people. I needed that at least one of them agreed to talk to me… that was the only chance that we got to arrest them pacifically. If we fought, one of our teammates could result badly injured or dead and I couldn’t afford that to happen.
“This is the DEA unit, get out with your hands up and nobody will get hurt…” I said to anyone that was up there listening to me.
