I Cant Miss !!! 153 Mother Russia 3

I headed to the gym to do some training with my teammates even though nobody invited me. It seemed like they wanted to work their individual plays so they would be able to help me out during the games. I sat on the bleachers while watching them run a quick game of five on five. Eventually, I got so heated that I had also got involved as I was yelling at every one of them every time they made a mistake and pointed them out. 

I told them ways they could improve on their game, and after a while, they got annoyed with me and kicked me out of the gym. I had nothing else to do, so I just went back to my dorm room to relax until later that night when my mission started. I was to travel to the destination with transportation provided by the military to me. 

I had on a black assassination clothing as I blended in with the darkness. After some time of traveling, I had finally arrived as I made my way through the landscape, eventually getting to my destination. I made sure I had my getaway vehicle secured as I went to find a secure spot to set up my sniper and look out for my target. 

After setting up my sniper, I took a look at the Mansion floor, scoping out all the security details. There wasn't much security around, which made me a little bit happy since I know getting away after assassinating that man would be a little bit difficult; either way, I still stood my ground as I waited patiently for my target to appear before me. 

One hour.. 2 hours... 5 hours…. 10 hours, still no sign of them. I was getting a little bored and sleepy, as I cracked my third Red bull. After dozing off a few times, I decided to take a quick nap. A few hours later, I heard a lot of cars and trucks coming onto the property. I knew something was about to go down, or the owner of the building was home. 

Now I was so mad I wasted 10 hours of my time waiting for a person that wasn't even home. I got eyes on him. It was perfect weather there was no wind going against me, so I decided to take my shot right then and there because I was just tired sitting in the same spot. I unlocked the safety and unloaded a barrel going through a few leaves before arriving at my target's head, piercing right through his head. 

It was a perfect shot, and I knew the job was done when I started hearing screams as I quickly packed up my equipment and left the area. I had a few pursuers on my heels. Still, I was able to slow them down with a few shots here and there. These guys were resilient and wouldn't give up after a few hours of chasing me. I had finally slipped up as someone had launched a rocket launcher close to me, and the impact blew me off my motorcycle right away. 

I had a few scrapes on my arms, but the problem was I had passed out, and my pursuers had finally caught up to me. Just when they were about to drag me off to go and question me. Paige and my teammates had shown up all of a sudden and gunned down all my pursuers. All my pursuers fell dead; I had no clue what had happened as my teammates helped me up and put me in the vehicle and sped away disappearing into the night. 

I woke up in my dorm room in my bed and was shocked as Paige was sitting next to me, looking at me with a worried face. Still, once she saw that I was okay, she immediately put on her angry face as she started beating my chest, crying, saying I shouldn't scare her like that again, and I should never take on the mission alone. That was like suicide with what I went through, and it could have been way worse if I had gotten caught. 

I thanked Paige for her help, and I knew that I would have been screwed if I got caught. I know the Russians loved to torture their enemies in the places that I wouldn't like to get abused. We chatted up a bit until Captain Bob had come to see me as he was glad to know that I had come back and was surprised that I had almost failed the mission, well technically I succeeded because I accomplished the task by eliminating the Target. Still, I almost got caught too, which would have been a significant loss to America. 

Luckily nobody saw my face since I was covered from head to toe in my black stealth attire. I still had the scrapes on my arms, so I had to recover from that also. Again, thanks to my fast recovery skill, I was able to recover within two days as I was on lockdown after the mission, so I wasn't able to explore Russia like I wanted to. My other teammates made me jealous when they brought me back souvenirs.  

Luckily Paige kept me company the whole time, which made me quite grateful to her. The day of the match with Russia's military had finally arrived. Surprisingly, there wasn't much of a crowd in the gym even though it was quite small compared to the other gyms that we had been to after experiencing China's crowd and comparing it to Russia's, this was the total opposites, and the energy there was more serious as if a war was about to break out between the Americans and the Russians. 

After coming out of the locker and warming up on the court, the game was about to begin. Except for Big Z, the other ability user, this Russian team had no noticeable strength except for their height, and they were more durable than most basketball players. Every time we would try to go for a layup in the post, it would always get blocked, so Coach Andre had no choice but to rely on me to make most of the points, as I shot three after three. 

The Russians were quite surprised when they saw that I was making every shot, and I had broken down their almost perfect defense since I wasn't going in the post. Using this opportunity as they started to double-team and triple-team me, so I passed the ball to open players, giving them opportunities to take shots, making it quite an easy game before I sat on the bench. 

We were up by at least 30 points giving us a reasonable lead to squandering off as the bench came in to play for the rest of the game. I still ended up with 50 points by the end of the game, and 15 assists with a couple of steals. The guy that was known as Big Z showed up but due to my skills being too opposite of his, we never really got in contact with each other as I didn't even notice him too much since I was shooting from the 3-point line mostly, and I had everybody else shoot at the mid-range. I could tell that Big Z was a presence in the post, and using that anti-post-game only put his powers to a halting stop.
