The Magic Man: The Raid

In a parking lot outside the Johnson Secure Records Storage facility John Livingston sat in an FBI mobile command unit. Two hours ago the National Anti-Crime Task Force had been called in to a hostage situation. The National Anti-Crime Task Force was mad up of six eight man teams of local, state, and federal police officers from all over the country. They are called in to major hostage negotiation or terrorist activity. John Livingston was the team commander. He had a bachelors degree in criminal justice  and a masters in criminal justice administration.  John was a planner, before any mission he would sit down the the team leaders and go over the floor plans of any buildings involved and go over possible scenarios. They had been called to this building because a group of terrorists broke in to the facility. They had overwhelmed the security guards and taken hostages. The facility was a five story building with a small detached utility shed to the left. The building had three major entrances and two emergency exits.  “Alpha team will take the main entrance, Bravo team will take the loading dock, and Charlie team will secure the staff entrance. The technical team is working on rerouting the building’s power supply through the mobile command unit so we can disable the fire alarm system. This will allow us to enter through the emergency exits will the keys we were given by the building supervisor. Delta team will secure the exit in the rear left hand corner. Echo team will secure the exit on the rear  right corner of the building. Foxtrot will repel from the helicopter and enter the building from a heating duct in the direct center of the roof of the building. We are searching for eight suspects including the leader of the group, Jack Falcon. There are also twenty hostages reportedly being guarded by two armed guards. The are being held in a conference room on the fifth floor,” said John.  John was a member of the Foxtrot team, he was originally from the NYPD ESU. After the tactical meeting John got dressed in his full riot gear. Officers on the team were equip with Ar15’s, Sig Sour Pistols, tasers, and ASP batons. They also had bullet proof vests that could resist a high power assault rifle, stabbing, and trusting of knives. The teams got into the position and John began the countdown as the helicopter got into place.  “5,4,3,2,1,go,go,go” said John as foxtrot got into position and repelled from the helicopter.  The men uncoupled themselves from heir ropes and ran to the vent in the center of the building. John pried the vent off and set it on the ground. He the climbed into the duct and made his way down until he found a vent looking down on two suspects.  “This is Eagle, I have visual on two suspects, I’m going in now,” said John as quietly as possible.  He pulled a tear gas grenade from his belt and put on his gas mask. He tossed the grenade into the room and jumped down as the thick white gas filled the room. He pulled two pairs of zip cuffs from his tactical vest and secured the men’s hands behind their backs. He secured their weapons in his backpack.  “this is Eagle, two suspects are in custody, weapons secured, room clear, foxtrot move through the duct through the first vent,” said John into his radio.  He team made their way through the vents and into the room. John slammed the door open and observed two suspects with their weapons draw standing outside the conference room. John and another officer pulled out their tasers and brought the men down. They then secured the men’s hands behind their backs and continued into the conference room. The hostages were hutled in the corner, the team escorted the hostages back to he room they had entered through. The the. Helped the hostages into the duct after telling them to wait for the helicopter to pick the up.  ” this is eagle, all hostages secured and ready for evac,” said john into his radio.  ” this is alpha commander, two suspects in custody in the lobby, weapons secured,” said the alpha commander on the radio.  “10-4, eagle copies,” said John into his radio. ” this is bravo commander, two suspects in custody in the file vault, weapons secured ,” said the bravo commander into he radio.  “10-4, eagle copies, all hostages rescued one suspect remaining, located the terrorist leader,” said John into his radio.  After three hours of searching the terrorist leader was nowhere to be found.
