Chapter 11:
After Jack got off the phone with DIA Director LTGEN Billy Watkins he said, "DIA says their agents in Waziristan are reporting that several Lashkar tangos are headed for the US."
AJ asked, "What's your plan?"
Jack replied, "After I brief her an Harm on their mission we're goin ta beat feet ta Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling."
Bud Sturgis, Kate and Webb were feverishly trying to uncover the dreaded second phase when in walked Bobbi. Sturgis looked up and ased, "What's up Bobbi?"
She replied as she plopped down next to the former Dolphin, "I came here to see if I could help in any way and also to thank Jack."
Sturgis asked, "What do you need to thank Jack for?"
She replied, "He saved my life yesterday when the attacks happened?"
The former Submariner fixed her with a steely-eyed glare as he asked in a firm voice, "What are you talking about Bobbi?"
Bobbi brushed an errant strand of hair out of her face as she recounted the tale. When she was done Sturgis said, "It appears I owe the GEN a huge debt."
Bud stated matter-of-factly, "The whole country does sir."
Everyone else at the table nodded. Suddenly Bud's cell began to ring. He grabbed it and said, "LTCMDR Roberts."
Jack asked, "Who's in the room with you Bud?"
Bud told him. Jack snapped, "Put it on speaker."
Bud replied as he did as he was ordered, "Aye, aye sir."
Jack asked, "What have y'all found?"
Sturgis; being the senior officer became the spokesperson. He said, "We haven't found anything yet."
Jack swore in Arabic and told them about dropping Harm and Tasha off. He also told them about the snatch in Prague.

Haroum Al-Harazzi watched as the Marine Sentries patrolled the JAG HQ. He glanced over at his best friend Salim Bin Rashid sitting in the passenger seat and asked, "Are the shuhada's ready?"
Bin Rashid replied, ""Yes my friend. They are ready. Are you ready for this battle?"
Al-Harazzi reached back behind the seat and grabbed his 7.62X39MM AKM and said, "Yes my friend I am ready to shed the blood of the Crusaders."
Bin Rashid nodded as he gestured to the 8 ISIS fighters in the back and they all poured out and stealthily made their way to the front gate.

Gunnery Sergeant Jorge Garcia; senior noncom of the JAG security Battalion was manning the front gate with CPT. John Burgess. They were making small talk when they saw a line of trucks heading for the gate.

Jack stood up as a tall black man in Marine Dress Greens stepped into the room. He drawled as shook the man's hand, "Billy Watkins as I live an breathe."
The former Force recon Marine replied in a deep baritone voice, "Hello GEN glad you could make it."
Jack grinned as he said, "Sure no problem. You said you're agents reported Lashkar tangos headin for this country?"
At Billy's nod Gunny asked, "When did they leave sir?"
Billy replied, "They left Waziristan three days ago."
Mac asked, "How many are there sir?"
Billy liked the Marine JAG Corps COL a lot. She had been in his Force Recon unit as part of a pilot program back in 95. He replied, "As far as we can tell a dozen."
AJ asked, "What's the plan sir?"
Billy looked over at the former SEAL and thought back to the many ops they had ran back in 'Nam and replied, "I'm open to suggestions AJ but ultimately it's up to the GEN."

Gunnery Sergeant Garcia and CPT Burgess raised their 5.56MM M4's and Burgess shouted, "Halt and be recognized."
The trucks just kept coming heedless of the Marines amassing to stop them. Neither the Gunny nor the CPT noticed the 8 ISIS fighters sneaking up on them. Al-Harazzi shouldered his rifle and pulled out a 6" stiletto and darted forward and grabbed CPT Burges by his assault harness and slid the blade between his ribs; puncturing his lung. Burgess reached back and grabbed A-Harazzi's arm and snapped it. The he whirled around and hit him in the liver with a Muay Thai snap kick. He followed it up with a palm strike to the sternum and finally a roundhouse the head. Al-Harazzi crumpled to the ground. Before he could regain his feet Burgess stomped hard on his throat; breaking his neck and crushing his windpipe. He regained his M4 just as the first truck smashed through the front gate and exploded. Garcia sighted down the barrel of his M4 and dropped two of the ISIS fighters with well-placed three round bursts. He was transitioning to another target when he saw two members of the Security platoon gunned down. He felt rage course through him as he shot another fighter through the body. Burgess was having difficulty breathing as he and three other Marines tried to stop one of the oncoming VBIED's. However they were unsuccessful as the car bomb exploded; vaporizing the three Marines and hurling Burgess into the side of the building. He was trying to regain his feet when Bin Rashid appeared beside him. His coal black eyes glowed with hate as he contemplated beheading this infidel or simply shooting him. But then he had a better idea. He would take the infidel Marine captive and torture him for several hours then behead him live on the internet. However as he was preparing to knock him unconscious he saw the knife sticking out of his back and heard he faint hissing noise of the lung wound. He knew he was going to die of suffocation; so he just smashed him in the head with the folding stock of his AKM and took off in the direction of the front entrance.

They were still working tirelessly in the ADM office when Webb's head jerked up and he said, "I hear explosions and gunfire."
The other three jerked their heads up and listened intently. Sturgis's eyes widened as he said, "Oh my god. We are under attack."
Well there's the first part of the attack. Please tell me how y'all like it. Should Gibbs Team and Fornell save them or should Jack and the others do it
