Epilogue: A new day has come indeed
Date: May 1, 2008
Location: John Clark's office, SAS Headquarters, Hereford, Britain
It has been a week now since the PDL was defeated by RAINBOW. Though is veteran operatives such as Chavez and Price led the initial strike on the PDL in Australian soil, he had his pride with his newly recruited RAINBOW operatives, who were responsible for bringing the PDL and its leaders to its own knees. When Patrick Ang and the rest of the members came back from Japan on a chartered flight, RAINBOW and SAS personnel hailed them as heroes of the hour. Clark gave them a small party as a sign of gratitude.
2 days have now passed since their small party. Clark had heard news from the local news channels that the Japanese government was prepared to have a special anti-terrorism trial for the two former PDL leftist founders. The Canadian government had received word about this and has sent the Canadian ambassador to represent them.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
Alistair showed up at his office with some broadsheet newspapers tucked in his arm. He went up to his table and gently dropped them on his table.
"Hey John! Our friends from some of the law enforcement agencies abroad have given us some headlines to read."
"Really?" Clark took the Philippine Daily Inquirer and read the frontpage and it said,
"People's Democratic League crushed by Japanese Police!"
Eyeing the Yomiuri Shimbun, he unfolded it and held it in his hands as he read the frontpage,
"A new dawn in the field of Counter-Terrorism."
The picture showed two SAT operatives with ballistic faceshields masking their heads, escorting a cuffed Ichiro Nishikawa and two masked S Unit operatives escorting a cuffed Gerard Duchamp to a waiting police bus, which was seen off the picture, but it was briefly mentioned in the frontpage.
"Thanks Alistair. I'll read the rest later." Alistair neatly stacked the broadsheet newspapers and placed them on a vacant spot in Clark's table.
"I almost forgot. CNN's going to cover a press conference in the National Police Agency." Alistair took the TV remote control of the Toshiba 42" Diagonal TheaterWide HD Monitor Plasma TV, which he had recently acquired two days ago so as to monitor news channels whenenver he was away from the Watch Room. Within minutes, he was able to tune it to the CNN International news channel.
"At least they'll credit for it." remarked Clark to himself as he stretched back in his office. He was told by top NPA officials that the SAT and the JGSDF's S Unit would take credit for their operation. After operations in Australia had ended, he was told by representatives of the Australian Department of Defence that the Australian SASR Regiment would take credit for their actions. Alistair took a seat in one of the chairs near Clark's office.
"A spokesman for the National Police Agency's Special Assault Team gave a press conference inside National Police Agency Headquarters regarding the success of their first anti-terrorist operation since the inception of the unit 12 years ago." said a female Asian-sounding voice. The cameras soon shifted to the interiors of the conference room.
Captain Hideo Yamamura, who was now in his Black BDU uniform, walked up the stage to the podium as photographers took pictures of him with their cameras. As he went onto the podium, he began to address the reporters present about the "operation" that took place last month. A few seconds later, the screen quickly shifted to view Captain Yamamura speaking on the microphone with his hands on the podium.
"The success of the operation conducted last month would have not been possible without the assitance of our colleagues in law enforcement agencies from around the world, especially since they had provided crucial intelligence that we needed before we moved in to apprehend the two leaders of the People's Democratic League. My superiors would also like to thank our colleagues in the Ground Self-Defense Force's S Unit for aiding us in storming the compound that the PDL has previosly held for two consecutive weeks." said Captain Yamamura is fluent English.
The TV screen now shifted its attention to a female Japanese reporter, who was now standing outside the National Police Agency with a microphone in her hand. She was now speaking to the cameras on the press conference that took place a while ago.
"As with the success of Australia's Special Air Service Regiment for the end of the PDL's Australian cell, Japan's obscure elite forces caught the attention of the international media once more when the National Police Agency's Special Assault Team and the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force's S Counter-Terrorist Unit stormed inside the compound on the outskirts of Kyoto, which was believed to be a PDL safehouse. With the capture of Gerard Duchamp and Ichiro Nishikawa, the PDL has finally come to an end. For CNN news, this is Michiko Kirishima reporting from outside the National Police Agency, Tokyo."
"Well John, we did it again. Looks like a new day has come for RAINBOW eh?" remarked Alistair with a wide grin in his face.
"I agree Alistair." answered Clark. He soon had a smile on his face as he watched the CNN International news channel. "A new day has come, indeed."
