Chapter 393 Explosion
Chapter 393 Explosion
"If you keep shooting, we'll enter. Otherwise, how do I know the hostage is safe and sound," roared the pointsman near the vault. "If you surrender, the court might give you some leniency. Don't further complicate your situation."
She looked behind at her commander asking for advice. The commander gestured two fingers at both stacks. Momentum must be followed and they would never succumb to robbers' demands.
What the commander ordered was to throw two flashbangs and storm in. Although they could negotiate on better terms with the current advantage, she had a premonition if she negotiated, they would suffer. Explore more adventures at empire
Amidst the suppressive fire, two flashbangs flushed in, piercing the hearing levels inside. The gunfire from the robbers stopped and the operators' team flushed in, covering corners and center, quickly dominating the room.
"Get down!" A man who seemed like a manager was ordered. Nobody was certain whether this man was genuine.
Quickly securing the manager, the rest killed a few robbers with guns who didn't throw away their weapons even after being warned repeatedly.
As for the manager, two operators took him outside to safety where they would search and interrogate him for a while before handing him over to the police.
From the man's face through the operator's helmet cam, Athena understood this man was a real manager and relayed the message—all hands were loose. There was no holding back.
The fight became fierce. Bullets ricochet across the corridors, prompting the operators to stay away from the wall.
After the initial surprises, the robbers held the remaining ground without fear. Although their numbers had thinned down, the Spirit Foxes needed more time to eliminate every threat.
When the Spirit Foxes advanced further, they discovered two explosive devices attached to the wall, hidden from their eyes on the way they came in.
Now that they saw two, everything was too late. "Bomb!"
Only a cry was uttered and an explosion engulfed the entire leading team. Even the commander staying behind could only leap toward cover. The remaining were swung out by the shockwave.
Not yet over, another explosion occurred. The ground quivered as a result. Smokes and fire occupied the vault.
"Pursue, of course. We must chase them down. You have seen what they are capable of and what they have done to others." The commander patched Cai Ning through the radio and asked for further orders. Meanwhile, she gestured to a few operators to explore the tunnel but warned them not to go far and lose communication.
"Tunnel you say?" asked Cai Ning from the radio.
"Yes, we've apprehended more and killed some but a few escaped through the tunnel. I've asked my comrades to investigate below. Awaiting for your further orders."
"Understood, wait till K-9 units and more reinforcement arrive. We'll initiate a large manhunt later. For now, stay put."
"We'll scout a few meters then. I recommend you check every hostage since we strongly believe there might be an insider helping the robbers."
"Already working on it. We'll take over from here; thank you for your service, out."
The commander stopped everyone from chasing. They had completed the work here and should delegate to other units. Even though their group wasn't official, they had to abide by unspoken rules between different departments for a better relationship.
"Alright, Spirit Fox, we've completed the mission successfully. Initiate a secondary clearance and prepare for a debrief." The commander walked toward the shotgun girl. "You and you will secure this hole. Make sure nothing comes out of it."
The shotgun girl pursed her lips and exchanged a helpless glance with the unlucky teammate beside her. They gotta think about how to spend the boring time today.
The bank was soon cleaned up, room after room, in case the specialist missed anything. Hostages were arranged outside, and interrogated personally by the detectives. This robbery was obviously planned for months and if not for Spirit Fox's quick reaction, City N Police Force's head would have a hard time raising up for a long time.
Soon, Spirit Fox team left and stayed near their vehicles outside, chitty-chatting with excitement, while some laughed at the ones who were 'shot' and 'severely wounded', particularly those engulfed in the explosion.
Well, as women, they also paid attention to attraction and beauty even if their work demanded something else. Seeing blackened faces with ash marks from smoke on the skin they showed—the area between the brows and nose--they didn't care about their sisterhood and poked the pain.
As for the robbers who fled, Spirit Fox delegated the mission to other departments. They had gained too much credit, not that they cared much. Nonetheless, everyone had requested Athena to search for suspects once they had any updates. They weren't giving up on chasing these bastard. How dared these robbers try to force on a woman in front of them?
Well, sirens blared continuously as the much-awaited reinforcement arrived. The group stood tall as they gazed at their fellow foxes, proud and feeling accomplished as they had succeeded within a short time frame. Perhaps, their comrades, who lost the opportunity for an experience might be envious when they retold the story tonight.
