Chapter Three: The Mission
I was anxious to learn what my mission was, that was so important. The day after the town was taken, I was sent to a generals headquarters in the town hall building. I walked up the steps into the building. A young man directed me to the generals quarters. I walk up three flights of stairs and entered a large room. There were three sergeants, a Luitenent, and the general. What surprised me though was that the general was Mr.Green from Green Ranch. "Oh Jack, come in". I walked into the room and positioned myself in front of a chair near the general. "Have a seat...Well Jack the courage and skill you showed yesterday proved that you are the man for this mission". "Thank you sir".
"Onto the briefing". The general signaled to a sergeant to turn off the lights. Another manned a projector. The first picture showed a German supply depot. "This is the one of the Germans major supply depots. If we can destroy it we can cripple the Germans of weapons, ammunition, and fuel. Your entry is this town nearby. Your going to be air lifted to the drop point and parachute outside of town. You next objective is to find a disguise to infiltrate the depot. Once inside, sabotage the supplies with C-4 explosives we issue to you.
If you can we would like you to take out this man". The next picture on the screen made my blood run hot. The same man that killed Maria was one the screen. Visions of the her death, and his cold face rushed through my memory. "This is Andrew Phillips, he is guilty for war crimes, and treason. he was sentenced to death, but before we could carry out his sentence, he escaped for the prison he was being held in and joined the German army".
"Were going to send you out tonight. Good luck". "Uh sir". "Yes". "Can I talk to you privately"? The general nodded to the other men. They walked out of the room. "Mr. Green, when did you become a general"? "Well Jack, I served in WWI. By this war I was promoted to general. But before than I settled in Flowerbud before those bastards came and burned it down". "Sir, I have some terrible news, about Cliff".
Mr. Green now had a concerned look on his face. "Yesterday during the battle, Cliff was fatally wounded". Mr. Green had his face in his hands. "Before he..passed on he gave me this letter for Ann". I handed him the letter. "I'll have a messenger send it back home, Jack can I be alone please"? I nodded and walked out of the room. I could hear soft weeping coming out of the room. I walked out of the town hall and into a nearby building. It was being used for a barracks. I got to my cot and got some sleep. That night I woke up and got my gear ready. At the airstrip where the plane was waiting, they explained how the C-4 and the remote for it worked. They also issued me a silenced pistol. I got aboard the plane, and it took off.
