Blood Feud

(Bell, Marshall, and Woods are at The Rook)

Woods: Bell...

Bell: Woods...

Woods: For what it's worth, it's good to see you

Bell: For what it's worth, you and Mason were my favorites on the Berlin crew. So... How'd you end up with the rig?

Woods: Raul fucking Menendez

Marshall: Ok. No more wasting time. You know the plan

(Marshall hands Bell a picture of Sevati Dumas)

Marshall: Sevati Dumas. The lead. Still no idea why Adler was in contact with her, but hey, a lead's a lead

Bell: She's... pretty

Marshall: She's a lot more than just a pretty face, Bell

Woods: We can't trust her. I doubt Adler did. For all we know, she's part of this fucking pantheon thing

Marshall: Who CAN we trust? Dumas agreed to meet in Avalon, so we're doing this

Woods: Well well well. Look at you, putting your bog boy pants on. Shouldn't we find Adler before making this call?

Bell: Fuck Adler. We don't need him

Marshall: Yes we do, Bell. Look at the bigger picture. Even if you hate the guy, we still need his skills

Bell: Whatever. Just don't expect me to give him a warm welcome

Marshall: Alright. I'm going to Munich to wine and dine your old friend, Woods

(Woods scoffs)

Woods: Friend? Hardly. I can't stand the son of a bitch, but we need him. Sometimes you just gotta hold your nose

Marshall: If he's as good as you say he is, then by the time Bell gets back, we'll have located Adler

Woods: If Livingstone hasn't already stuffed him in a barrel... I'll polish up this turd of a safehouse

Marshall: Op details are up on the board

Woods: Take a look at this

(Adler and Sevati Dumas's names are shown before revealing the latter's file)

Woods: Adler didn't leave much intel on Sevati Dumas, but I can tell ya a thing or two about Avalon

(Photos and a newspaper about Avalon are shown)

Woods: It's a playground for the filthy rich. And crime factions run the whole city

(The location of Avalon, a person giving a speech, and a newspaper about said person's "suicide" are shown)

Woods: Everyone's looking for who to push off the slide. When they pick a target, they hire someone like Sevati. She used to be part of the Guild, one of the most powerful Avalon factions. But now she freelances. Sevati said that Adler hired her to follow a Pantheon trail

Bell: So... What am I here for?

Woods: You're gonna join her on that job tonight. We wanna to see firsthand where that trail leads. Maybe we'll even add some muscle to the team. You'll scratch her back, but sure as hell watch your own. Trust has gotta be earned. You still remember how to kill right?

Bell: As if I could forget... Alright then... Here goes nothing

(Small time skip...)

(A view of the city is shown before it goes into Bell's point of view, who picks up the payphone after it rings)

Sev: Hello, Bell. Check under the phone booth

(Bell hangs up before checking under the phone booth and found an envelope, which contains an earpiece and a picture)

(Bell puts the earpiece on, throws the envelope away, and looks at the picture of a man named Yannik. He adjusts the glove covering his metal hand)

Sev: His name is Yannik, a broker for the Guild. He'll be on his yacht tonight, taking a call with the Pantheon. We'll be listening in. Once that called is finished, you'll finish Yannik. That'll draw out the target I really want - but first thing's first. The bell tower on that church offers an open view of Yannik's yacht. He's throwing a party while his men count money in the church

Bell: A perfect vantage point...

Sev: Exactly. You catch on quickly

Bell: What should I know about Yannik?

Sev: He's a scumbag. Yannik traffics in weapons, narcotics, women - whatever pays. Rumor has it the Pantheon wants a relationship with the Guild... So Yannik is testing the waters. He's only our first domino. The real fun starts after we knock him down and get access to the target I really want. Johan Essaïdi

Bell: I'm assuming you're close by?

Sev: Close enough to know if you fuck this up. I've got eye on you, pretty boy

Bell: Alright then. Ready when you are

Sev: Let's see what you made of, Bell

(Bell readies his suppressed GS45 pistol)

Sev: Get to the bell tower. I don't care how. Quiet. Loud. Just get there

(There's a nearby guard by the water. Bell sneaks up behind him and snaps his neck, putting his body in the water, where it sinks below the surface unseen)

Sev: Good hands

(Bell quietly moves up towards the church. He comes across a few guards along the way, dropping them with silenced pistol shots)

Sev: Once we listen to Yannik's call and confirm a Pantheon lead for Adler, I'm declaring open season on the Guild. They have it coming. I should know, I used to work for them. I never cared for Yannik's parties when I was with the Guild. Though they were good practice in how to blend into a scene. Any girl who caught Yannik's eye was in for a long night... So let cut his short

(Bell quickly kills two more guards, one shot to the head each)

Sev: Not bad. You've got good aim

(Bell reaches the outside of the church)

Sev: Windows are open. Could climb up to the second floor

(Bell climbs up and slips into the church through an open window)

Sev: Access to the bell tower is on the second floor behind the locked door. I hope you know how to pick a lock

(Bell uses stealth and silenced gunshots to swiftly clear the church of guards. He reaches the door and forces it open with his metal arm)

Sev: Yannik's expecting a call from Pantheon any minute

(Bell starts climbing up a ladder)

Sev: This morning I stashed a rifle at the top of the tower

Bell: Thanks. Makes my job a lot easier

Sev: Remember, Bell, don't pull the trigger until we hear his call. We need to confirm any connection to Pantheon

Bell: Understood

(Bell gets to the top of the bell tower and finds a LR 7.62 sniper rifle. He picks it up, kneels, and adjusts the scope)

Bell: An LR? You've got taste

Sev: At least someone appreciates good firepower. Yannik's near the umbrella, upper deck left side. Surrounded by girls

(Bell looks through the scope, taking aim at the yacht party. He and Sev listen in on the call)

Yannik: Got your advance. My boys are still counting it

Pantheon Contact: It's all there

Yannik: Remember. This deal is one and done, huh? Don't need to get mixed up with the CIA, or your Pantheon thing

Pantheon Contact: You'll send the hardware tonight. Understand?

Yannik: That's not what we agreed to!

Pantheon Contact: Tonight, Yannik. Don't test me

Sev: So the Pantheon and the CIA are connected somehow... We got what we need. Take the shot

(Bell locates Yannik Dufour and fires the sniper rifle, with the bullet traveling and piercing through Yannik's head. Yannik is now dead as his body falls down to the floor)

Sev: Woods was right. You ARE good

Guild Security: I think I heard a shot!

Guild Security: Fan out!

Sev: Yannik was just our first domino. We have more work to do tonight. Head back towards the payphone. I'll pull up in a white van

Guild Security: I've got bodies over here!

Guild Security: We need reinforcements!

Sev: Guards inbound. Word on Yannik got out. You're no good to me dead, Bell

Guild Security: Get ready!

Guild Security: Police are nearly here! Go!

Guild Security: Don't let the shooter escape!

Sev: Quick, Bell! Deal with the guards and get to the van!

(Bell quickly slides down the ladder before he readies his silenced pistol. The guild security guards fan out and start searching)

(Bell is on the upper floor, so he has the high ground advantage. He uses his silenced pistol to quietly kill a couple of the guards)

(A guard is coming up the stairs, so Bell jumps off the ledge and performs a drop attack on him and stabs him with his knife)

(Another guard comes around the corner to investigate the thump, so Bell rips the knife out of the guard below him and throws it into the guard coming around the corner)

(Two more guards are incoming. Bell grabs a crate with his metal arm and throws it at them, knocking them down before finishing them off with silenced pistol shots)

(Bell eliminates the guards inside the church before kicking the doors open and swiftly clearing out the courtyard with his pistol)

(A white van arrives and the side door opens, with Sev killing a captured enemy before pushing him out of the van)

Sev: Let's go, Bell

(A broadcast is heard from the van's radio as Bell goes inside and closes the door)

Sev: Hey! Turn it down!

(Bell sits in the van with Sev)

Sev: That's Gabriel up there. He's cool

Bell: Hey Gabriel

Gabriel: (Waves)

(Sev turns off the radio)

Sev: They called an emergency meeting at Château de la Haute Lune. Three Guild leaders will be in attendance to smooth things over with Pantheon. I want to get paid, so we're going to crash that party

(Sev bangs on the van twice before telling Gabriel)

Sev: Château de la Haute Lune! Let's go!

(Sev inspects the clothes nearby)

Sev: The Guild will lock the restaurant down and meet in a safe room on the second floor. Door can only be unlocked from the inside. You're gonna help me get that door open. We're a few minutes out yet. Just enough time to get changed

Bell: In here? In front of each other?

Sev: Yes. Just focus on the mission

(Bell and Sev remove their regular clothes and start changing into their disguises. Sev can't help but look at Bell's muscular physique, decorated by battle scars. She's especially fascinated by his metal arm)

Sev: Where did the metal arm come from?

Bell: "Just focus on the mission"

(Sev smirks and chuckles as Bell uses her own words against her. Bell gets a nice look at Sev's curves as he and Sev get dressed)

(Soon enough, Sev readies the finishing touches of her disguise)

Sev: There we are. Fit for Guild Security

(Sev grabs her knife and readies her pistol)

Sev: Personally, I want these Guild bastards dead. Pantheon's the icing on the cake for me

Bell: Fine by me

(Just as Sev holsters her weapons, the van comes to a stop)

Sev: This is my stop. Get to the safe room's antechamber on the second floor. An alarm will go off - that's okay. The Guild doesn't know you, so your best option is to surrender and play along

(Sev opens the door and exits the van)

Sev: When you get inside, wait for my cue

Bell: Will do

(Sev closes the door while Bell gears up his loadout, with a file nearby for inspection. After he's ready, Bell leaves the van)

Sev: The Guild is meeting Pantheon right now. Get inside and find the safe room. Of all the Guild assholes meeting tonight, Essaïdi's the biggest. If we can't get him, consider me a "no" for your little club

Bell: The front door's WAY too crowded. I'm going for a side door

(Bell heads around the right side of the building. A guard opens the door and walks out)

Guild Security: That wine was shit. Why'd I have an extra glass?

(Bell grabs the guard and slits his throat before putting his body in the bushes. Then after, he walks inside through the side door, leading into a kitchen)

(There are two guards in the kitchen. Bell quickly drops both of them with his silenced pistol before discreetly slipping into the restaurant section. He snaps a guard's neck and stealthily slips past the rest, looking for the safe room)

Sev: The safe room is somewhere upstairs at the back of the restaurant. I'm nearly in position

(Bell keeps moving quietly and gets close to the antechamber)

Sev: Bell, get to the antechamber. Trip the alarm. I'll be ready

(Bell goes into the antechamber, which triggers the alarm and closes the open door)

Essaïdi: Drop your weapon and put your hands on the glass

(Bell drops his pistol, puts his hands on the glass, and a female Guild Security Guard comes to check him before using her radio)

Guild Security: Secure

(Suddenly, Sev attacks the guard from behind with her knife and kills her. Bell then looks at the security camara)

Sev: Don't move, Bell

(Just as Bell looks back at the glass, the door opens - with Sev pointing her pistol at him)

Sev: Stay quiet. Play along

(Sev holsters her pistol and put Bell's hands behind his back before taking him to the door of the safe room)

Sev: Wait for my signal. Not before

Bell: Copy

(The safe room door opens - with Guild Security and Johan Essaïdi, along with Aminata Sy and Omar Seghir, inside)

Pantheon Contact: The timetable's moved up. I want that shipment sent tonight

(Essaïdi sighs)

Essaïdi: You CIA types are all the same. And this one?

(Essaïdi chuckles)

Essaïdi: Troublemaker

(Sev pushes Bell to his knees)

Pantheon Contact: What's going on in there?

Essaïdi: We have a visitor. Walked right into the lion's den. Alone

Aminata: Uninvited

Essaïdi: Maybe this one works for a rival, eh? Or maybe Pantheon is trying to squeeze us

Pantheon Contact: We came to you, Essaïdi

(Seghir hands Aminata a pistol as she gets up and walks up to Bell)

Aminata: We'll learn the truth one way...

(Aminata whips Bell with the pistol before readying it and pointing the barrel at him)

Aminata: Or another

Pantheon Contact: Show me your visitor

(Essaïdi nods to a guard)

Essaïdi: Go ahead

(The Guild Security Guard moves and points the camara at Bell)

Pantheon Contact: Well, look at that... It's like seeing a ghost... You're a long way from home, Bell. This man is extremely dangerous. Kill him immediately

Essaïdi: Aminata

(However, Sev - with her own pistol - shoots Aminata in the face, killing her)

(Bell quickly uses Aminata's body as a human shield and grabs Aminata's pistol. Bell and Sev open fire on everyone in that room)

Seghir: Go! Go!

(While Essaïdi and Seghir escape, Bell and Sev eliminate the guards in the room before the former moves Aminata's body out of his way and begins pursuing Essaïdi)

Essaïdi: Who was she? What does she want?

Seghir: She wants you dead! Get to the limo, we'll cover you! Send reinforcements to the Market!

Sev: Bastards don't even recognize me. Not that it would save 'em

(Bell and Sev begin running after Essaïdi)

Guild Security: Everyone, out of our way!

Sev: Everyone clear out!

(As they're running, Bell and Sev use their pistols to engage the Guild Security Guards)

Sev: Seghir and his men won't make this easy! Essaïdi pays top dollar for meat shields! Idiots!

Bell: Some of these assholes are packing body armor. Aim for the head

Guild Security: Throwing Molotov!

(Bell takes cover behind a corner to avoid the molotov blast before capping the thrower right in the face)

(As Bell and Sev gain ground on Essaïdi, he starts to panic)

Essaïdi: Call for my limo!

Seghir: Bring him to safety!

Sev: I can hear Seghir. He's covering Essaïdi's escape. Keep pushing!

Seghir: Send in more men! We must protect Essaïdi!

Sev: We can't let him get away!

(Bell and Sev approach the bar in the Market)

Sev: Seghir's behind that bar! Take him down!

Seghir: Is that you, Sevati? It's been too long!

Sev: Poke your head out, Seghir! I got something for you!

Seghir: You can't win, Sevati!

Sev: I like my chances!

Seghir: Give up! You're outnumbered!

Sev: Shoot him!

(Bell and Sev take positions and start fighting more guild security guards)

(A guild security guard tries to shoot Bell with his submachine gun, but he raises his metal hand and blocks the bullets with it before disarming him and gripping his neck with his metal hand, crushing his neck with a sickening *pop*)

(Bell grabs the guild security guard's submachine gun and stows his pistol, making it easier to kill the guild security guards)

Sev: Nice job, Bell! Keep 'em dropping!

Bell: Catch!

(Bell tosses Sev a guild security guard's submachine gun, which she catches and immediately starts popping off rounds with)

Sev: Thanks!

Seghir: Take them out!

Sev: You're going to DIE, Seghir!

Seghir: You're not getting out of this alive, Sevati!

Sev: Bell, let's finish this!

(Bell quickly slides between cover spots and moves closer to Omar Seghir while Sev deals with the last of the guild security guards nearby)

(Bell punches Seghir with his metal fist. Sehgir draws his pistol, but Bell disarms him, elbow strikes him, whacks him with the pistol, and shoots him in the head with his own pistol before dropping it)

Sev: Nice work on Seghir. That just leaves Essaïdi

Bell: Maybe you can have the next one

(Bell and Sev exit the market)

Sev: Where is Essaïdi? Check the street!

(Bell follows Sev towards the street)

Sev: Limo's coming down the street. Shoot!

(Bell and Sev open fire, managing to kill the limo driver - causing the limo to crash, flip upside down, and explode. Bell and Sev then head over to confirm Johan Essaïdi's death, with the target crawling out of the wreckage - burnt and on fire - screaming before Sev puts him out of his misery)

(Sev spits on Essaïdi's corpse)

Sev: Burn in hell, Essaïdi. Gabriel, we're ready

(Gabriel arrives, so Bell and Sev walk towards the van)

Sev: You more than kept your end of the bargain, Bell. And Adler was right. The CIA might be behind Pantheon. Lets head out

Bell: Agreed. I don't wanna stick around

Sev: Let's hope he isn't right about their "mystery" weapon. Maybe it's time you take me to this safehouse of yours
