Weekend Special Short Tales California 2.4 Chapter 14 Finale

 14.

 

A2 had got the call at 0323hrs. It was a backdown call. He called the others to leave. It was a quiet withdrawal, leaving Glenn and the nurse baffled.

“Guess they had enough.” Glenn looked at the nurse.

Outside as the attackers approached the vans, they removed the vests and slung their rifles. They were surprised by the presence of the SWAT Team Leader.

“I am sorry, boys but your failure marked you for dead. The Syndicate sanctioned your termination.” The shots came from the hidden position of the SWAT Team and all were dead with headshots except A2.

“Jack, I never liked you but the Syndicate spared you. As I am now promoted, you will take over as Squad Leader here. Say hello to your new team as of now.”

The watch showed the time at 0400hrs.

As of 0600hrs that morning, the nurse had removed all the bodies with the help of Glenn. That included Charlie and Randy.

Don had taken to the road for an hour seen leaving the city.

Franco Delagi was moved to the recuperating home.

The Doctor was packing the tools of her trade. She had changed into a new scrub; and it was all shade in black. The apron she wore says; Unhappy Mother.

Then the call through.

“Hotel California.”

“Its Jimmy 01. I need to come in. I got a GSW in the arse.”

“Come in. We got your bed here.” The nurse replied. He then looked at Glenn. “Do you want a job? We are hiring new nurses.”

“Can I play this song?”

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (any time of year)
You can find it here
