Prologue
A chorus of expletives was muttered in an incoherent barrage from all ten members of the Delta team as soon as they entered the dimly lit room. Their mission: to find and extract Agent Lauren Reed and Agent Angela Kim. However, Lauren Reed was no where to be seen, and Agent Kim lay in an unmoving ball in a dank corner. Weiss hovered over her limp body to check for a pulse. He turned to make eye contact with Sydney and nodded. There was a pulse; she was alive. Sydney cleared her throat, “Base Camp, this is Mountaineer. We’ve found Agent Kim. She’s unconscious but alive. Agent Reed is no where to be seen, over.”
Dixon sighed and rubbed his face. He looked up at Vaughn, who was standing over his desk, and slowly shook his head. Vaughn’s prominent worry lines became even deeper and he clenched his jaw and pressed his lips together, his mouth becoming a thin line. Wearily and not knowing what else to do, Dixon spoke into his mouthpiece, “Mountaineer, this is Base Camp. Our satellites aren’t picking up on any other bodies. Consider mission accomplished and get out of there.”
Sydney looked around the room. All other nine agents were just as reluctant to leave as she was, but they had no choice. She began to walk out of the room and said, “You heard him; we’re going home. Weiss, can you handle Angela by yourself?” Weiss nodded, picking up Angela’s lithe body easily, and followed the other agents out to the awaiting helicopter.
