1800 hrs bravo zulu time Saber Team was on the the ground, Bradley was issuing orders and going over the operation again. "first we will go to the crash site to check for bodies and other items th-" conners interrupted "if you look at the map there is an important bridge that the Iraqis will need to bring reinforcements and supplies when we break into the facility, if we take out the bridge we can have less of a hard time breaking into the facility and extracting mitchell and it also is a major trade route for the iraqies."Foley the SAS's finest sniper decided he would go with franklin and take out the bridge. franklin is a demolition's expert who was foely's friend since basic training so Bradley continued with his brief and than they were off. foely and franklin headed to the bridge to take it out but they didn't know what was soon to happen. franklin was keeping a good watch but not good enough because about 17 seconds later four republican guard jumped out from behind a bush it was odd for republican guard to be here they usually stayed in Baghdad but they were no match for foely's .50 caliber pistol it was over before it began each got a bullet to the chest and were dead instantly they were all carrying an AK-47 so foely and franklin each took one the AK-47 shoots 5.45x39mm. round with a 45 round magazine they both said "these should come in handy." As they pressed on they found pieces of black aluminum that looked eerily like the SAS standard for helicopter armory, but they were at least a mile away from the crash site. franklin cried when he looked up there was his girlfriend on the remains of a tigershark attack helicopter but when he ran over he saw the pilot who looked unconscious not dead so when foely went and checked his pulse he was alive so after about ten minutes of first aid the pilot woke up and identified himself as captain john rose of the RAF (royal air force) and said that he lost control and went down his radio equipment was damaged in the crash and he couldn't call in but he was in perfect health so he decided he could use a gun so they gave him foely's .50 caliber pistol and they continued after radioing Bradley about their discovery they continued. rose said he had good aim with a pistol and about 30 minutes later foely franklin and rose arrived at an overlook of the bridge foely took out the guards and than they proceeded down to the bridge franklin was planting C4 while rose and foely kept watch. The ever present sandstorm dulled their senses to the point when a guard came outside to smoke a cigarette and they didn't see him it was all over once the guard saw his friends body with a bullet the size of half a carrot lodged in his head bwwwwahhh!!! bwwwwahhh!!! bwwwahhh!!! the alarm could be heard miles away "oh sh-" roses voice was broken off by a bullet whizzing by his head crack! pow! and the jingling of bullet shells hitting the ground was all they could hear foely fired about 7 rounds into the frantic cloud of confusion turmoil and sand. they could hear a scream and curse in Arabic and franklin shouted "target down!" and all to soon he said it because about 7 seconds later 3 rounds from an AK-47 met their target's chest rose scared out of his wits shot franticly in the enemy's direction he got 9 kills before he was taken out of commission and foely shot 5 Iraqis before he got a bullet to the leg the shock knocked him out and he was taken prisoner to a building about 19 meters south. the C4 was confiscated and was held in a guard tower right next to the bridge.
