The capture of two soldiers - 02

After satisfied that the two soldiers were disarmed and free of immediate and obvious threat, the one guard ordered the two soldiers to move into the forest.

"Central! Delta team here, we found two intruder, send back up to EP6. They're no longer a threat, but we've been compromised. I repeat we have been compromised, over!"

"Delta team! Copy that! Sending back up, stay alert. And Execute Code 5 Lockdown. Over and out!"

--------------

Grayson's survival instinct quickly thought all the things he could do to survive. He noticed that there were two guards capturing them. Two against two, the odds are equal right now he thought. He tried to make eye contact with Bryce to see if he's in agreement. He got a little nod from Bryce to his satisfaction, now he just needed to figure out when. They need to do it fast before back up arrived.

As he was planning his next move, one guards grabbed him by his plate carrier, and yanked him up.

"On you fucking feet!! Both of you, stand up!" he said.

They complied, thinking that standing up their odd were getting better.

"Hands on your head, keep them up!" they ordered again, while shoving them towards the forest.

He's thinking that ok, maybe after a little bit of walking they could strike back. The entire time the two guards trained their rifles at them from a distance.

A moment later their hopes were dashed, when they heard some foot steps coming closer. Coming into view, another guard with a rifle pointed at them.

"Good job guys! Look at these fools" He mocked!

Grayson and Bryce knew that fighting back would be a lot harder now. But they're not giving up yet. They kept on walking deeper into the forest.

Two guards kept on having their rifles trained at them. While the third one had his rifle slung on his back while shoving them further.

Grayson thought that maybe if he's able to attack the guard right behind them, he could grab his rifle and maybe...just maybe they could get the upper hand. He tried to make eye contact again at Bryce, and make a subtle nod. But Bryce replied with a subtle head shake a couple of times.

Before he could think more about what's next. The guard behind him shoved Grayson so violently, that Grayson tripped on a big boulder on the ground. He tumbled and instinctively braced his fall with his hands.

The guards didn't seem to care about the incident at all. Grayson tried to stand back up after almost face planted on the ground.

"Stay the fuck down! " The one guard said.

Bryce stopped at his track and cautiously observed. While the two guards guarded them with their rifles, the new guard immediately and systematically removed their plate carriers, disarming them further. Satisfied that Grayson was in a prone position and disarmed, he then moved to Bryce, and proceeded to remove Bryce's helmet and tossed it on the ground.

"Don't try anything stupid! If you don't want your buddy shot" The guard said followed by the other guard shooting a couple of rounds near Grayson's head.

Bryce got the message, and let the guard manhandle him further. The guard started unbuttoning his jacket and removed it leaving him only in his undershirt.

----------------------------

One guard kept his trained rifle at Bryce, when a voice came from his radio.

"Delta team! Sitrep! I sent Keith over there, is he there yet?, over!"

"Yup, thanks boss. he's here. We're taking of business here, initiating code 5 lockdown, Over!"

"Change in plan, boys! We need to abandon base! Keith, you know what to do! We're on our way to pick you up! Be there in 10! We need one of them as a hostage. Pick one, leave the other one! Over!

"Copy that, we'll be ready, over"

"Make sure you secure the one we're leaving. Secure him well! Make sure he can't alert anyone. You know what to do, over and out!"

----------------------------

Both Grayson and Bryce got a bit nervous from the entire interaction, they're going to be taken a hostage, but an ideal situation, well least one of them will. Although they didn't know what will end up with the one having to be left behind.

Keith then proceeded to search, disarmed and take Grayson's jacket off.

"Guess what?! It's your fucking lucky day! You're coming with us! Face the fuck down! Hands behind your back!" Keith indicated to the other two guards, as he knelt on top of Grayson.

-------------------------------

Bryce could only stand there with his hands on his head, disarmed, only in his undershirt, pants and boots. He watched the entire thing unfolded.

Grayson also had no choice but to comply. He placed both his arms slightly behind him, not wanting to fully comply. But it didn't matter. Keith yanked both his arms back, crossing his wrists tightly behind his back. Keith then grabbed the coil of rope that he was carrying and expertly tied both his wrists together behind his back!

"Fuck!" Grayson thought! In only less than a minute, both his wrists were tied together behind his back. He though that he probably would be able to wiggle somewhat free. But he was so wrong. The rope had not give whatsoever, he couldn't move his wrists at all, he may as well been shackled, there's no way he could get his wrists free, not even the slightest. Keith really knew what he's doing.

"Ok that will fucking him for a while. Keep an eye on him, I'm not done with him. But now let's take care of his friend here" Keith said while he walked towards Bryce.

"What the heck did you mean by not done with me?" Grayson thought "I can't move my hands, what else do you need?"
