But nonetheless here's another bump. If I get through this little story, and then a little more, me thinks I'll leave it at that and not bother any more.]Ten and Eleven set an explosive charge in a key point of the front foyer, and set off to plant other charges throughout the building. The security room was third on their list of destinations, the second was on the way there.Three had a bit of a head start on Ten and Eleven, but further to go. In theory he'd probably arrive around the same time, maybe a little sooner, little later.The setup of the security room was pretty simple, a door was set into a corner of the room, facing out onto the hallway. Along the same wall as the door started the monitors for the security cameras. They continued around the room, taking up about 2 and a half walls. The room was set up to be occupied by three or four security personnel around the clock, but for some disturbing reason the entire building was deserted. It was no simple task for Four and Six to keep track of all the monitors with only the two of themselves, and though the building was apparently deserted something had escaped their observation.Three, Ten and Eleven were all closing on the security room. Three had a moderate lead."Four, Six, friendlies inbound, respond?" Eleven said.Silence.Three and Ten both turned the corners at either end of the hallway, fortunately they recognised one another straight away. They exchanged brief nods and closed the distance to the security room door. Three arrived first."Four? Six? Respond!" Eleven repeated.Three shook his head at Ten and Eleven. The door to the security room was wide open, and Six's corpse was sprawled just inside, four gunshot wounds to the torso. Four was further into the room, a single shot to the head had felled him, he sat leant against the desk on the far wall."One, sir, this is Three. Four and Six are down, unknown enemy took them both out with a suppressed firearm by the look of it," Three's foot nudged some shell casings on the floor, he crouched down to assess them.Ten and Eleven arrived, one took a position at either side of the security room entrance and each trained a sub-machinegun down either side of the hallway."High calibre pistol, sir," Three said as he picked one of the shells up.One's reply came through, "Ten and Eleven, are you with Three?""Yes, sir," Ten replied curtly."Hold the security room with Three until backup arrives, then resume planting erasers," he ordered."Yes, sir," Ten said again."I'm going to sweep the room for surprises, stay here," Three told the others, who replied with nods.Three entered the room, moving slowly and assessing everything in sight. Nothing of note in clear view, so he checked behind the door, and found nothing. He was becoming hopeful. He checked underneath the desks with the monitors above them, and found something. A Claymore mine was hidden on the wall behind Four, a tripwire tied to his belt. It would have gone off had Three tried to move the corpse, it needed to be disarmed."Found a Claymore," he called out to the others, "Hold your positions."He reached for the detonator, which the tripwire was attached to, and his hand crossed an unseen laser tripwire. Another Claymore, positioned behind a monitor above Three's head, went off.</blockquote>
