Chapter 54:
"Alright everyone, it's show time. It looks like they are almost done assembling the bombs. Luke and Greg have already left to join harbor patrol. So far there are no signs of a truck or any other vehicle to transport the bombs and vest. So we believe they are going to be transporting them by boat. We are going to be the lead team. Sue, I want you and D to bring up to speed the other teams that are providing back up ."
"Sure, Jack. Not a problem."
"Sue, you need to know who they are. Back up is being provided by Luke's team and a couple of members of your team. Don't worry though, Luke has assured me his team will keep them in line."
"I'm not worried, D will be with me. How much info do you want us to share with them? Do you want me to tell them what we suspect of Agent Ramon?"
"Tell them who we are after and the plan. Don't tell them our suspicions of Agent Ramon. Tell them we don't want to blow his cover so he is to be arrested along with the others. What they don't need to know is that he will be secured by military police later. Everyone needs to get into their gear. We leave as soon as you guys finish briefing the other teams."
A few minutes later Sue, D and Levi were dressed and ready to leave. They got ready to enter the conference room to brief the other teams when Sue hesitated. Sue was very nervous knowing that some of her unit was there. D sensing that Sue was getting nervous smiled at Sue and said, "Don't worry be strong. You are in charge. I am only here to have your back. Let them see what they have been missing. It's their loss not yours."
"Thanks D," Sue said as they entered the conference room. Standing tall with her shoulders back, Sue approached the front of the room.
"Ok, heads up everyone. The mission this morning is to apprehend Akil and his gang of terrorist. We are going to follow the bomb that they are finishing up. We believe they are going to the Mosque that is currently under surveillance. We also believe that Akil will be handing out final instructions and the bombs after morning prayers. Everyone is to be brought into custody including Agent Ramon. We don't want them to know that he is one of ours. We will take care of him later. The plan is to surround the Mosque. After morning prayers the first team will enter with SWAT and attempt to arrest everyone. The second team will follow as back up. The third team will stay outside to secure the team and go after anyone who tries to escape. I've been told everyone knows what team they are on. Any questions, if not let's go."
"What's the call sign for the command center."
"That would be Sam – 31, any other questions," Sue asked. After about 30 seconds Sue dismissed the group. "Let's go everyone."
After the room cleared, D walked out with Sue. "Good job Sue. You were clear, concise and you let them know you are in charge. Some of them looked a little startled by it. But they also seemed ok with it."
"I have to admit it felt good. Let's go everyone is waiting on us."
