As freaky as the beaten down door was the inside of the warehouse was almost worse! Bullet shell casings were strewn about the floor with the guns they'd been fired from. As far as they could tell they were split into two groups: The guns that were whole and the ones that were laying in pieces as if they'd been snapped in half! There were dozens of previously armed men laying around the warehouse. As they walked up to one of the bodies which was laying around some broken crates and checked him out they discovered he was, fortunately, still breathing. He was just badly hurt. Despite all of the ammunition that had been spent already however this man had no bullet wounds of his own!

"Check him."

"Yes sir." Jagger tapped his helmet visor and lit up with various lights as it began scanning him and analyzing his internal and external injuries. "Alright, looks like we've got a few minor contusions and abrasions but nothing serious. It looks like whatever happened here didn't hurt him too badly. It was just getting thrown into the crates that did the real damage." 

"Okay but how the hell did that happen? What did someone pick him up and throw him into the crates during the firefight? Who does that?" Angelica questioned.

"Somebody decked out in body armor and loaded up on PCP and steroids?" Caroline asked.

"This is serious Carol."

"So am I! How else do you explain anyone surviving all of this? Plus you have to take the front door into account. Steroids, PCP and body armor are the only explanations."

"But if they were that roided out how come none of these guys are dead?"

"That I have no explanation for. I mean, we're good. We're very good. But even we would've ended up shooting back."

"She's right. There's no way that whoever did this would have been able to handle this without killing anyone. It must've been a damned army."

"Like who? Special Forces? Marines?"

"No way to tell. Lets continue investigating the crime scene, see if we can find the abductees and then let the paramedics and forensics take care of the rest."

"HEY DOWN THERE!"

They all looked up at the ceiling where other officers were waving to them through a gaping hole in the ceiling! "HEY! UP HERE! CAN YOU HEAR US? YOU NEED TO CHECK THIS OUT!"

"What the fuck?!" They walked across the warehouse to where they would be directly underneath the hole and looked down at the ground to see several cracks in the floor which were surrounded by rubble from the ceiling and then they looked  back up in utter confusion.

Curtis placed two fingers to the side of his helmet. "Mike? Is that you? Did you do that?"

"Not this time, Curtis. It was like this when we landed on the roof."

"That's...impossible. Did...did a meteor hit it? A missile? Did someone set off a bomb?"

"No way to tell. There aren't any scorch marks and we aren't detecting any signs of fire or chemicals or shrapnel. Something broke in here but it wasn't a bomb."

"What the hell. Okay, uhhh, alright. Alright, uhm, keep watch up there and tape it off." He looked to the windows as the others were breaking into them and then lowering themselves down to the floor while the far doors at the other end of the warehouse were being opened up. Curtis took a deep breath and slowly blew it out. "Alright. For now we just keep investigating the warehouse. Stay together. Stick to the plan." He informed his team and then took another look around the warehouse where shipping containers had their doors torn down to reveal the civilian abductees and the docking doors that had been torn down to reveal more civilians.

"Okay, so, let's see here...shipping containers are made from steel and have closed-top with hinged doors. They have corrugated walls on the top and bottom sides and are welded to the rails and end frames...."

(Each shipping container starts with a big roll of steel, which is unrolled and cut into several sheets.This is done in dedicated factories with technically advanced machinery systems. Surface preparation of these steel sheets is then carried out using sand blasting and priming to remove rust, dirt, contaminants etc. The sheets are then corrugated to improve the overall strength. Roof panels and floor braces are separately made and sheets for wall panels are then welded together. Square tubing is welded on the top of the walls. Once this is done, floor panels are assembled to form a floor frame. Door assembly and corner post assembly are also separately prepared. The door assembly is then installed on the floor frame followed by installation of wall panels. The corner posts, wall panels and door assembly are welded. The roof panel is then assembled and welded. Priming and painting is carried out. Wooden frames are varnished and prepared for flooring. Once they are installed in to the container floor, holes are drilled to attach flooring panels. The door hardware is finally installed along with rubber seals for watertight doors. The container bottom is then made waterproof followed by watertightness testing. The box is finally inspected to ensure watertightness or any other problem.)

"And those are...Flexfit Doors. Flexfit Loading Dockfit Doors. FlexFit FF175 is engineered and manufactured to absorb accidental impacts and flex, rather than dent and buckle. Unlike steel doors, Raynor FlexFit can absorb moderate to severe impacts and rebound to its original shape for continued smooth operation, which eliminates service calls due to minor accidents. Severe impacts typically force the hardware (hinges, rollers, track) to take the brunt of the impact. These door replacement parts are commonly carried on service trucks, increasing first-call resolution when needed."

He crossed his arms. "And yet...something, something, somehow, someway, ripped them apart and tore them down. God In Heaven. What on Earth did all of this?"

"Wow. That's a surprising amount of knowledge sir."

"A SWAT Captain has to know these things."
