Kade Breed
July 24, 2013
*Feeling vibrations against my leg, I reach
into my pocket and pull out my phone. Reading the screen I see it's a txt from Gideon saying
the orders had come down from Lucan that we were a "Go" for installing surveillance equipment at the recon site. Excited energy shoots through my body as I nod my head at the message. I flip the safety on my handheld and place it in the holster at my hip as I shoot a txt to Aric
Chase telling him to gear up for the mission and meet me
outside the tech lab*
Aric Chase *hanging in the lounge
being bored I hear my phone announce an incoming text.*YES! something to do
tonight!*flipping open the phone I see that Kade needs my help*HELL YEAH! Sorry guys,
time for me to fly!*heading to my room I suit up as fast as I can and meet up
with Kade right as he gets to the lab.
Kade Breed Jesus, Kid *Shaking my
head as I approach him, sensing the obvious adrenaline that was rolling off
him* Looks like that Red Bull really did give you wings. *Grinning as he rolls
his eyes, we get a quick rundown of our mission from the Boss and head towards
the elevators to go topside* In and out, Kid. No marks, no trail. We should
have eyes in there within the hour.
Aric Chase *walking beside Kade to the elevator I can feel the adrenaline pumping through my system. It had been so long since I did some recon. I knew Kade would expect nothing but the best. I was nervous and excited at the same time. Climbing into the passenger's seat I watch him loads the cameras into the back*Ready to go Kade. What's the plan?
Kade Breed *Closing the back door and
sliding into the driver's seat, I glance at Aric before starting the engine and driving
down the compound driveway. I hand him a folder of the images Brock, Nathan, and I had gathered earlier and pointed
to a dark corner building with a warehouse sized garage door and drag marks dug
deep into the ground* You see this, here? Gid believes there has been some
movement through door. We need to mount some cameras in the area itself as well
as the surrounding buildings.
Aric Chase *looking through the file
to bring myself up to speed*We aren't putting any inside right? Just exterior
and surrounding buildings? How many are we mounting?
Kade Breed *Raising a brow at his
questions, I chuckle at his anxious behavior as I carefully navigate the SUV
through the crowded streets* Easy, Champ. We have six cameras altogether. One
for the main door, one for the smaller side door, and two each for the
buildings across the ally. No reason to need one on the inside YET, but we will
see what shakes out. *Glancing over at Aric and catching him staring out the
passenger window at a group of college girls walking towards a bar. I slap him
on the shoulder to get his attention before returning my hand to the wheel*
Eyes on the prize, Kid.
Aric Chase Sorry Kade, She was HOT though!*looking in the side
mirror until she is out of sight* Got it, one here, one there, and a few over
there.*Grinning at him.*I can do this!
Kade Breed Really, Kid? *Letting out a deep breath as I maneuver the vehicle into a somewhat acceptable parking spot a block away from the recon site. I reach into the back seat and grab the duffle containing the cameras, mumbling to myself* Freakin kids, man. *Slinging the bag over my shoulder, I close the door and head out in the direction of the mission* Let's go Miss. Daisy, before the damn sun rises and our asses get toasted.
Aric Chase *Laughing*Not mine man! Remember, daywalker here!*Following Kade down the street toward the warehouse. Trying to keep the images from the file in my mind so I don't make any mistakes. Knowing he won't let me go with him again if I screw up AT ALL I get my head in the game and focus on the mission.*
Kade Breed *Slowing our pace a little
as we approach the warehouse door, I kneel down and place the bag of cameras on
the ground. After visually sweeping the area for any signs of activity, I turn
to the kid and hand him three of the six cameras. Pointing to the building 20
feet to his right I tell him to shimmy his ass three quarters of the way up the
east wall and mount two cameras exactly 15 feet apart* Don't screw this up,
Kid. Those measurements have to be damn near exact so Gid can get a full view
of that door. Make sure you radio to compound about the angle and clarity of
your screen shot before coming back down, or you'll be Spidermanning your ass
back up there to do it again.
Aric Chase *I pop the headset on and
grab the cameras. Walking towards the building I look around to make sure no
one is around, I get to the first corner of the building and look up*How the
hell am I supposed to get these damn things up there anyway*Seeing a small ledge
I get an idea. Using my breed abilities I jump up and balance my toes on the
ledge. I shimmy along the ledge to where I think the first camera needs to be
located. Getting it mounted I place a quick call into the lab to be sure it is
placed where Gid wants it for his viewing pleasure. So far so good. I move over
to the next location and mount that camera as well. Calling into the lab again
I wait for Gid to tell me yay or nay on location.*
Kade Breed *Securing the last wire on
the second surveillance camera, I look up to see Aric directly across the way also
finishing the last of his surveillance tasks. Feeling a little bit of pride in
the kid, I call in my own video bearings before leaping off the edge of the
window to silently land in a crouch on the ground below* Let's go, Kid. We got
these last two, then were out of here.
Aric Chase *Getting the all clear on
the second camera I hear Kade telling me to
go. I hop down off the ledge, landing on the pavement and head off in his
direction.*Where do you want this last one man?
Kade Breed *In an answer to his
question I nod up at the ledge directly above the garage door* Make sure it's
pointing down enough to catch the ground activity here, but out enough for the
feed to cover the entire alleyway. I'll put this last one up over that other door
to catch the backside of the corner.
Aric Chase Cool man.*Jumping up and
hanging onto the fire escape I reach out and mount my last camera. Just one
more call into Gid to be sure he can see everything and we are home free.
Adjusting the camera with Gid in my ear we get it just the way he wants it. I
let go of the fire escape and drop to the ground again. Looking around to be
sure Kade and I are still alone I walk over to
where he is finishing lining up his camera too.*Ready to blow this joint man? I
am getting the creeps just being here.
Kade Breed *Receiving the last of
required confirmation about the footage, I move to join Aric on the pavement below* Yeah, Kid, I hear ya on that one. *Taking one last look around, I check and double check that all the cameras have remained in place* You did good, Kid. Now let's get the HELL out of Doge.*Grabbing up the empty duffle bag off the ground, I hightail it out of there with Champ hot on my heels.*
