I’m thinking this is a small CIA team of mercenaries, say 7 total. 5 in the little bird plus another 2 at homebase.
Homebase is probably a minicompound/villa type thing. It’s out in the middle of nowhere but sits along an important route.
The CIA took it after a Navy SEAL Team took out it’s former occupants.
I think the girls and pilot work for the CIA still while the four guys are hired mercs on the Agency’s payroll. They’ve all been used before on past jobs so there’s a solid level of trust established.
The 7 of them have been there for a few months now and boredom is starting to set in from all of them doing patrol every day.
Whatever made the route important at the beginning has since dried up and now they all want out of this post.
The only one still happy to be there is the pilot cause he gets to fly every day and loves to fly.
Then one day out of the blue, their scheduled delivery for resupply doesn’t show up. Then another day goes by and another. When they go to call it in, they get no response back. All communications are cut off.
They can’t raise anyone.
And that’s when they find the first body on their front door step.
