Lies beneath the truth
Chapter 19th
Meanwhile at the target location. Several hundred military soldiers wait for the convoy to arrive before deciding to arrest all of the terrorist members and including Lee Stanton as part of the game. Major Frank Wen Woo in charge of the location. He and the others have been working for the United States military for the past ten years overseas.
He knew what his job had to be with this particular operation. He was checking through the binoculars inferred process to see where the convoy was located. Everyone knew what had to be done with working on the components of the Titan missiles.
Needing to wipe his brow from the heat and humidity in this god forsaken landscape. He turned to face his communications officer holding the walkie talkie set with the controls to contact everyone. "Anything sir?" The young officer asked the Major with the question.
"Not yet! It shouldn't be much longer with our last report." Major Wen Woo replied before looking again through the glasses. This time he placed a slight smirk on to his face seeing them coming. "HERE THEY COME! Inform the group to begin working and have the Marines ready in the bunker to be ready to take over?" He ordered sternly with the command.
"Right away, Major." Right away be began talking on the walkie talkie to inform everyone to began their work. The activity began on the components and other military equipment for the convoy that will see when they pulled up at a dead stop at the top of the horizon.
Colonel Baker stopped the convoy to moved out of his seat of the truck, while Lee did the same grabbing his water canteen. He looked up into the sky with the sun blazing overhead. He was counting the minutes for when this damn operation was going to come to a close. Colonel Baker took his binoculars from inside the front seat of the truck to check out the location.
What he was able to see was several personnel walking around, along with working on military weapons making sure it was in full working order. "This is differently the right location Mr. Stanton. It's going to get a little rough getting these soldiers out of the way in order to retrieve them for our our purposes." He stated with anger in his voice and demeanor.
Lee didn't like the sound of what he was saying. Lee has always hated violence, even though at times it was needed in order to get what is needed for IFF and the United States military. Taking a sip of his water from the canteen. He was able to drink a generous amount with his lips beginning to crack a little from the sun and humidity. "What happens now Colonel Baker?"
"We go in and retrieve what is needed for the group. No doubt there will be violence as part of our group's motto to prove a point." He responded, while beginning to talk into the walkie talkie to order everyone to be ready with their weapons.
Meanwhile Lee gets back into the truck checking for his handgun located in his jacket that the Colonel doesn't know about.
Major Wen Woo waited in his tent after giving the order. Checking his rifle in his hand making sure all was in order with the scope, bullets and other specifications. He took in a deep breath closing his eyes for a moment to try and relieve the stress building with his body. He heard the convoy moving into the compound no doubt the terrorists ready to shoot. Counting the minutes, he was ready to move outside. While the marines.
Colonel Baker and his terrorists quickly moved out of the trucks with weapons in their hands ordering everyone to stop what they doing. And they did!...Equipment was dropped to the dry, hardened ground with all of the technicians stopping in their tracks waiting for the Marines to arrive. "Make sure you check all of the technicians for any type of weapons." He ordered to the terrorists following his orders. While Lee waited...
There was a whirlwind of activity with the terrorists moving to each and every man searching them for any type of a weapon to find nothing at all.
Moments later...Finally the Marines arrived all two hundred of them with Major Dav Ramos ahead of them holding his rifle and pointing at the key terrorist member. Even though he had known that an IFF agent Scarecrow was among them working undercover. It was at this particular moment Lee pointed his handgun into the back of Colonel Baker. "Don't move Colonel Baker! Or I will blow your brains out." Lee said with his heart racing, along with his blood pressure seeing all of the Marines. He was glad they made it in time before the bloodshed would of started.
"I should of known you weren't part of us after all. This was just too easy?" He stated when one of the Marines came over to place the Colonel into custody, while Scarecrow introduce himself of the Marine.
"Sir, Major Ramos wishes to speak with you, as with Major Wen Loo in charge of the operation." The young Marine in his early twenties born in Tacoma, Washington age 24 with two other brothers in the marines serving elsewhere.
"Yes sir!" Lee said needing to get away from Colonel Baker as soon as possible. "However there is something I need to do before I head on over." Lee turned to face Colonel Baker before punching him in the face to knock the terrorist to the hard ground and the Marine standing watching the entire scene without moving a muscle.
