Rogue Extraction

The city lit up orange as Riya ran across the rooftop, her heart loud in her ears. Behind her, the Black Fang soldiers yelled and their feet hit the metal hard. She stopped at the edge of the building, a five-story drop the only way out.

"Got you now, agent," said a rough voice behind her. Commander Vargas, the leader of the soldiers, lifted his gun.

Riya just smiled. "That's what you think."

She hit a button on her watch. A drone came to life, flying in fast. With a run and jump, she grabbed its straps, swinging out as bullets flew by her. Below, her motorbike was waiting.

She hit the ground, rolled, and jumped on the bike. The soldiers shot at her, but she was already speeding away, into the bright and busy city. Mission done.
