And Now- The Next exciting installment of "28 Seconds"
0930 hours, 13 January 1996, Tactical Operations Center, Unit Compound, Fort Bragg, North Carolina. "2 days ago, a Marine Lance Corporal Lewis Dixon, was kidnapped inside Kuwaiti borders by The Iraqi Republican Guard" said Colonel Colleton. "The Iraqis intend to put him on 'trial' for espionage. In order to make this farce seem legitimate, the Iraqis have allowed 2 Navy JAGs to go defend him" said Colleton.
"2 Navy JAGs" said Tony smiling. "Why do I get the strange felling we know these 2 paper pushers" said Tony
"Because you do" said Colleton smiling.
Tony sighed and said "Lieutenant Rabb and Lieutenant JG Austin"
"That's right" said Colleton.
Without even turning around to look at him, Tony said "Lose the grin Chester". Both Colonel Colleton and Malachi cracked up.
"Alpha Team is heading to Iraq. Lieutenants Rabb and Austin will provide a distraction with this trial, while the three of you work out an exfill plan" said Colleton.
"Are we weapons free?" asked Tony
"Yes" replied Colleton.
"Any backup?" asked Tony.
"Codename 'Scimitar', he or she is the CIA's top asset in Iraq" informed Colleton. "Make it happen" ordered Colleton.
2 Days Later…
"This is a stupid plan, Malachi" said Tony through the black hood over his head. Both Tony and Chester were dressed as Force Recon Marines and had their hands tied behind their backs and had black hoods over their heads. Malachi was walking behind them, dressed in the garb of the Iraqi Republican Guard, holding an AK-47 to their backs. "I already have 1 Purple Heart from Peru, I really don't want another"
"Just shut up, it'll work if you two just keep your mouths shut" said Malachi. Malachi led them to the entrance to the cell block, when they were stopped by a guard.
"What is this?" the guard asked in Arabic.
"2 Prisoners, American Marines, found them outside the west wall" replied Malachi, also in Arabic.
"Ah, 2 more imperialist pigs for the slaughter" laughed the guard. The Guard let them pass and Malachi led them into the cell block. He led them to a cell, that was conveniently right next to the one were Corporal Dixon was being held. The walls on the cells were only steal bars, so both Tony and Chester knew they would be able communicate with Corporal Dixon. Malachi led his two teammates into their cell, where he removed their hoods and cut the ropes binding their hands. Once Malachi had secured Tony and Chester in their cell, he left, as it was his job to make contact with Harm and Meg. Once Tony saw that all the guards were gone, he crawled over towards Corporal's Dixon's cell.
"Hey Jarhead" whispered Tony. Corporal Dixon, who had been lying on the cold concrete floor, rolled over and looked in Tony's direction.
"Yeah?" he asked.
"How you doing Devil Dog?" asked Tony.
"Who are you?" he asked. Then he looked at Tony and Chester and asked "You ain't no Marine"
"Damn Right Jarhead" said Tony. "Captain Black, Special Forces" whispered Tony.
"Sergeant White" whispered Chester. "We're here to get you out kid"
"How do I know I can trust you?" he asked
"Lt. Austin has a 36C Chest" whispered Chester. While Corporal Dixon found that little bit of information hysterical, Tony was in disbelief.
"How the hell do you know that?" asked Tony. As Chester went to answer, Tony held up his hand. "Never mind, I think I have a pretty good idea" he said.
It was 2330 hours local time when Malachi was finally able to contact The Navy JAGs. Unfortunately, he could only find Lieutenant Rabb. Rabb was asleep in his room. Malachi, after checking the hall, quickly picked the lock on the door to Harm's room. He knew the room was bugged but fortunately, there were no spy cams. He opened the door, and silently approached Harm's bed. He slapped his hand over Harm's mouth to keep him from screaming. Harm thrashed around for a second before he saw Malachi. Malachi brought a finger to his lips, signaling for Harm to be quiet. Then he motioned for Harm to follow him.
It was dark inside the prison, as there were no lights. Tony was leaning against the back wall when he heard a voice "You, Solider" said the voice in a middle eastern accent. Tony looked around and didn't see anyone
"Who's there?" he asked. Then something hit Tony in the face, a metallic object. He reached down and saw it was a key.
"Scimitar" replied the voice. Then the silence of the prison returned. Tony wasted no time in unlocking his and Chester's cell. Then, the got Corporal Dixon out of his. They made there way up the stairs to the main door. Tony peered around the corner and saw two guards. Tony and Chester laid Dixon up against the wall.
"Wait here, and don't make a sound" whispered Tony. Silently, Tony and Chester approached the unsuspecting guards. Quickly and quietly they snuck up behind and dropped them; snapping their necks. With the guards dead, Tony and Chester picked up their AK-47s, their Tokarev TT-33 pistols and their ammo. After retrieving Dixon, they were met outside the prison by Lieutenant Rabb and Malachi.
"Where's Meg, um, I mean Lieutenant Austin?" asked Chester.
"We can not locate her" said Malachi
"God dammit, we can't leave her here" said Tony. "Ok, Rabb, you and Blue Star take Corporal Dixon and find us some wheels". Then he turned to Chester "Ironman, your with me, we'll go find Lieutenant Austin.
Lieutenant JG Meg Austin was being held against her will in the private dinning room of the Prison Commandant, and Judge of the "Trial", Colonel Galem Farhan. She was tied to a chair at the end of the table, as Colonel Farhan was trying, and failing, to seduce her. " .Alone!" she screamed as Colonel Farhan attempted to kiss her for the umpteenth time.
"You are feisty, this pleases me great" he said laughing. Then suddenly, his laughing abruptly stopped. He started gasping for air. As he turned away from Meg, she saw a knife sticking out of his back. Blood began to pool in the Colonel's mouth as he collapsed to the floor. Meg looked up, shocked and saw a man standing in the open doorway.
"Nobody hurts my girl" said the man, as he walked forward and retrieved his knife from Farhan's body. He whipped the blood off on the Colonel's uniform. The Meg realized who the man was.
"Chester?" she said. Chester looked up and gave her a huge smile. Chester used the knife to cut the ropes that were binding Meg's arms and legs to the chair. She had been tied to the chair for a while, and her body wasn't ready to stand yet. When she tried to stand, she fell forward into Chester's arms. She looked up and smiled. "My hero" she said in her sweet Texan accent. Chester leaned down to her and planted a passionate kiss on her lips. Meg not only reciprocated the kiss, but added to it; and she forced her tongue down Chester's throat.
"Really?" said Tony as he entered the room and saw Chester and Meg playing tongue hockey. Both Chester and Meg stopped what they were doing and looked up at the awaiting Captain DiNozzo.
"Sorry Top" apologized Martin.
"Sorry Sir" said Meg.
"Just move it, unless you enjoyed our stay in this Iraqi Hilton" said Tony. With their fingers intertwined, Chester led Meg out of the room. Tony was about to walk out when he saw a large oil painting of Saddam Hussein hanging on the wall. Then he saw a lighter on the table. He grabbed the lighter and walked over to the painting. Lighting it, he put the lighter to the corner of the oil painting. In a matter of seconds the painting was engulfed in flames. He tossed the lighter on the ground. "Like a Phoenix, I rise from the asses, and into my fire, you shall fall" her said as he left the room. He got outside of Colonel Farhan's personal quarters, he found Malachi waiting with their ride; Colonel Farhan's private limousine. "Really?" he asked Malachi.
"Just get in" said Malachi as he got into the driver's seat, with Rabb in the passenger seat. Tony jumped into the back, where he found Corporal Dixon, Chester and Lt. Austin. Malachi put the Mercedes Benes Limo into gear and headed for the main gate. When Malachi saw that the guards were going to stop him, he gunned it. The Mercedes crashed through the wooden gate. Tony used the butt of his AK-47 to bash through the glass moon roof on the roof of the limo. With the glass knocked away, He and Chester stood up and fired back at the guards.
"How far to the border?" Harm asked Malachi.
"60 miles to the Kuwaiti Border" replied Malachi.
1st light broke at about 0515 hours. Alpha Team was about 5 miles from the border. "You hear that?" Tony asked Chester.
"What?" replied Chester. Tony popped his head up through the bashed out, windowless moon roof.
"Oh Shit" said Tony. Soaring just above the horizon was a Mil Mi-24 Hind Ground Attack Helicopter. Tony got back down and yelled to Malachi "Step on it Mal, we got a Hind on our Six!". Malachi mashed the accelerator, gunning the engine. Tony and Chester grabbed their AKs and started firing at The Hind through the moon roof.
"Oh yeah, this is gonna work, 2 AKs vs. a Hind" said Chester sarcastically.
"Just shut up and shoot" ordered Tony. "Mal, how close are we?" he asked Malachi.
"1 mile" replied Malachi as he threw Tony the sate phone. Tony picked it up off the seat.
"Rattler One, this is Movie Buff, one mile out, enemy rotorwing in hot pursuit. Ready the welcome wagon" Tony said.
Copy that Movie Buff, have acquired bogey, will engage once inside friendly territory" came the reply. Malachi gunned the engine again. The Mercedes barreled over the border
"Rattler-One, we are home free, repeat home free, enemy rotorwing has not disengaged, suggest your roll out the welcome mat" said Tony.
"Copy that Movie Buff" said the voice. "Rattler-One, Fox-3" came over the radio. Tony looked up and saw a sidewinder come off the rails on the waiting F-14 Tomcat. The missile tore through the sky and slammed into the side of the Hind. The Hind blew into a million pieces.
"Good Hits Rattler-One, repeat, Good Hits" said Tony as he smiled.
Both Harm and Meg were stunned. "Are things always this fun with you Sir?" Meg asked Tony.
Tony looked over at Chester and said "I think she's a keeper, Staff Sergeant " Tony said, smiling his trademark 1000-watt smile.
