216 Ambrosia Cartel: Part 23 (2/2)

Baseplate: ”Baseplate to Charlie Papa, do you copy?”

Patrick: ”Loud and clear, Baseplate. How may I help you?”

Baseplate: ”Charlie Papa, please retrieve the body of that kid in front of sector Bravo-Lima.”

Patrick: ”Do I need to recruit him? General?”

Baseplate: ”It's up to you, sir.”

Patrick had two moral choices. He could just leave the kid to bleed out or he could help him at the cost of his own safety. Of course, Patrick would choose the latter option. However, he wouldn't tell the others to stop firing their guns since it would give the chance for the enemies to advance to their location and compromised the safety of the base itself.

”Sergeant, take care of them. I'll rescue the kid. Don't stop firing!” Patrick shouted in the middle of the gunfire. He put the LWMMG on the ground and crawled until he reached the stair of that building. He climbed down that stairs slowly while he was shot by the tribals inside of that area.

Patrick: ”Hagrid. Requesting suppressing fire at sector Bravo-Lima.”

Hagrid: ”Solid copy sir. Airstrike inbound.”

Bombs were dropped at a faster rate from the sky as Patrick crawled to the gate of that sector. He wanted to retrieve the child which was located outside of the gate. Patrick crawled and crawled until he reached the gate of that sector.

Patrick didn't fear getting shot, he feared that one of his underlings would receive an injury from his selfish action of rescuing the kid. Patrick opened that gate with his PDA and he ran towards that kid with the abduction kit in his hand. Patrick saw that the kid still had his weapon with him which was the M4.

However, looking at the tribals who were dressing up with a minimal amount of clothing while still holding a rifle in their hands was quite a view that wouldn't be forgotten by him. Patrick took his pistol and aimed it at the kid who was trying to run away with his crippled legs. Patrick shouted, ”GET DOWN!”

That order wasn't heard by that kid. He kept running and running from him and Patrick was forced to chase him down to the middle of the forest. However, going to the forest at that rate was quite a suicidal action. Patrick decided that the best course of action was to shoot the kid in the legs again and hope that he wouldn't try to run away anymore.

[FOCUS]

Patrick aimed at that kid's legs and shot two 4.6x30mm rounds at him. The bullet shot straight into his legs and he fell to the ground. Patrick ran in his direction and kicked him right into the neck to turn that kid unconscious. Patrick put the kidnapping device on his body and he disappeared from his view as usual. He was sent to the main base for reconditioning. He might return back to Panama in two days or more.

Patrick: ”Baseplate, this is Charlie Papa. Target has been rescued successfully.”

Baseplate: ”Outstanding.”

Patrick ran back into the inside of that base and he closed the gate again. He walked back into the stairs and climbed to the top of the building again. This time, he didn't carry a machine gun on his back so there was no extra weight on his back. ”Sir, you're back,” the sergeant said.

Patrick laid down with his machine gun again and he started shooting his machine gun again. This time, he felt uneasy pulling the trigger with his hands. That kid wouldn't be the only kid in that attacking party, there would be more kids than he could imagine.

Patrick: ”Baseplate, this is Charlie Papa. I authorize the usage of heavy bombing. Charlie Papa out.”
