Urban Magic – Hung Out to Dry
Part 7b

Song – Better Run Through the Jungle

Training Exercise

Each of the Major Squads had their Agents taken one-by-one to areas of the yard for special training after the results came in from the attempt to attack the base.
The idea was to see what each would do in the pressure cooker of trying to escape and get to a radio room to get aid if the base/yard was over run.
They were each allowed paintball guns for firing weapons, but for some reason Tony’s team wasn’t frisked to pull Gibbs Rule 9 knives. Gibbs and Tony just smirked at each other before it was their turn.

Tony was placed in an old office and told to get to a room on the other end of the base/yard to get the radio he needed to get help. His phones disabled on him and he swore he’d get even for them ruining his expensive personal possession for what came down to a circle jerk for the upper management.

He was given a timer that was set at fifteen minutes and then he was free to try to get out and not get tagged by the “terrorists”. He listened at the door and knew they had put a man up above the door to get the drop on him. Going into his soldier persona.

Whoa, thought it was a nightmare
Lord, it’s all so true
They told me, don’t go walking slow
The devil’s on the loose

The alarm went off and he crept up to the door planning on doing a Bean from Orson Card’s sci-fi series book one, and slammed the door open then dived through on his back and shot the “terrorist” in the face with the paintball and dropped him with a loud curse. Then knocked him out with the pommel of his number 9 knife. Stealing his weapons for his own and hog tying him then putting him in the recovery position. Shooting him a second time in the back of the head in the assassination pose. Even if it did give the soldier a concussion in real life.

Whoa, don’t look back to see
Thought I heard a rumblin’
Calling to my name
Two hundred million guns are loaded
Satan cries, “Take aim”

He walked his own point slowly and found the booby traps, then took them apart with ease and confiscated the parts for his own use later like he had learned from the VC and NVA. Easily finding a few of the newer “terrorists” and getting behind them to choke them out unconscious and, again assassinate them, quietly. Cutting their clothes off and marking their stomachs to show that they had been gutted as well. Always stealing their weapons as well and then writing in paint, bang, bang, your dead on the floor in front of their eyes.

Others, he placed the booby traps in such a way that they ended up setting them off just moving towards him like in the first F/X movie. Blowing paint all over them to show they had been in an explosion and died.

Whoa, don’t look back to see
Over on the mountain, thunder magic spoke

Tony smirked when he ran across the janitor’s closet and pulled out the bleach and detergent. Adding that to cleaning bottles with the chemical from one of the traps and a rag.
Taking his lighter out, he lit one of the strips of shirts he had taken from the “bodies” he had taken out and threw it into the chemical closet and shut the door then walked away

Let the people know my wisdom
Fill the land with smoke

BOOM! Went the closet and fire alarms went crazy, allowing him to sneak through the smoke as a few terrorists came running with extinguishers to put out the fire. He stayed hidden in the smoke and threw more of the chemicals after them and against what was left of the closet wall for a spreading fire that the extinguisher wouldn’t be able to put out. Then shot both men in the heads to take them out with concussions. Carrying them away from the fires.

Better run through the jungle
Better run through the jungle
Better run through the jungle

When he came to where he knew the command center was from the yells about the fire and that they had better get it under control, he headed into the vents with his stolen goods and crept up into the room from above and took several of the trap explosives and his last bottle of chemicals and blew the room into a huge fire and forced them out and destroyed their command center.

Only then did they surrender to the lone agent/soldier.

Whoa, don’t look back to see
