The APC came to a stop and the special forces got out. Hicks, Terry, Spoon and Jim stayed at the APC. "its weird..." said Phillips. "The power sorce is coming from a place not on my map, must be a new level?" he said. "I dont cair if its in hell, the success of this mission is more important, then our lives" said Copland. They moved up to the building, it looked very old for some reason. Blood on the walls, bullet holes in the walls and windows. Some windows and sections of the wall were completely missing. "This building was close to the bug resarch centre, alot of civilians died in here, people who didnt have to" said Lucas. "I cant believe how we destroy ourselfs so much" she said. She looked on the verge of crying, but then she put a straight face on, and smiled. "Powers out, NV's on" said Copland. They all put their night visison goggles on, and dissapeared into the dark. Phillips came to a lift. "So many lifts..." he said. "what floor would it be on if its not on the map?" said Copland. "I dont really know, i'll see if floor B3 works." said Phillips, they crammed into an elevator. "des....t...inat...ion..." said the computerized voice, it was damaged. "B3" said Phillips. "floor....B....3......pas...s...word...requi....red" said the voice. "aw shit" said Lucas. "Dont worry" said Phillips. He went over to the controls and attached his wrist computer. He pushed some buttons. "Sorry to have to do this to ya..." he said to the computer. He hit a final button, and the elevator started moving. They didnt go for very long, but Phillips said something very intriguing. "If Dean still has control of the place, why dosnt he just drop the lift?" he said. They reached the bottom. The lights were on, revealing a large white circular room. Around the walls were test tubes, in each one was a small worm, about a foot long, and with a large cicular mouth at one end, lined with teeth. "What are these?" said Beret "i dont remeber these on the briefeing" he said. "Thats because they wernt made by then, this is Deans doing." said Phillips. the room was larger then it looked, and it had many corridors that led to other circular rooms, filled with the same "leeches". Phillips went down one corridor, followed by Lucas and Copland. Beret and Tower went another way. They came to a room filled with tubes, but they were all broken open. 'click' the safety came of Berets SL9. He looked around, and then went back out the way he came, Tower moving slowly behind him.
Phillips came to a room with about 6 tubes in it, and a large computer terminal at the end. it had lots of writing on it, all sorts of data. He went over to it and started disabling it. He hummed to himself as he typed, code after code. "Done, easy" he said after about 2 minutes. Sudenly something came up on the screen. "biological leech steroid experiments releasing" it said on the screen. The 6 tubes beside them started to open, a sticky clear liquid coming out of them. They ran back through the way they came in, they could already hear gunfire, obviously from Beret and Tower. The next room was filled with them. They started firing, but they were too smal to hit. Lucas lobbed a grenade, killing tons of them. Phillips fired at the 6 coming behind them, killing them effeciantly. they walked forward, clearing a path ahead of them with gunfire.
"HOLY SHIT!" shouted Beret, as the leechs crawled twords him and Tower. Tower began shooting, while Beret slammed a 30 round clip into his SL9 and put it on automatic, he joined in. He saw Phillips, Lucas and Copland coming from behind them, shooting. Beret thought, "what if they miss and-" he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his side. He put his hand to it, and felt blood. He leaned on the wall "i'm hit!" he said. Tower glanced at him but only for a second, then got back to shooting. "aw crap" said Phillips, "Beret has been hit, must have veen one of us!" he shouted. They ran into the room with Tower and Beret. Beret looked up, to see an airvent in the ceiling shake, Copland was undernieth it. "CAP! LOOK OUT!" he shouted. Copland looked up, and the vent burst, leechs falling ontop of him. He screamed, and all the other leechs went over to him. Tower aimed. "Dont shoot!" said Lucas. The leechs crawled all overCopland, biting him, and going under his skin, he stood up, but they only surrounded him, climbing up his body. He looked up, and coughed, sending blood everywhere, where the blood landed the leechs ran too. He was coughing up alot of blood now, they could see the leeches under his skin. He fell over. "he....l..p.....m.....m....e" he started to say, but a leech came up his throat, he went limp, and the leeches swarmed all over him. "ARGGHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" shouted Tower, who began shooting at the leechs and the captains dead body. the leechs turned their attention to Tower, and they all went for him. "run, get out of here!" he said, the leeches went to him, he fired, and fired and fired. Beret, Lucas and Phillips ran to the lift. "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" shouted Tower. He was a brave man, letting them escpae while he got the leeches after him. He fired untill he had no ammo left, but he held his finger on the trigger, the clicking noise being the loudest thing in the room. The leechs jumped on him, he didnt even struggle, he just let go, firing his empty HK21. Even now, the sounds of that rifle echoed through the area. His sacrafice was very meaningful...
