Chapter 8: Escape
Iraqian Capital Building, Iraq

"So, secret agent, how are you going to get us out?" The Iraqian President said, a heavy edge of sarcasm to his voice
"Sir, please be quiet, I need time to think!"Ranma shot back
He rubbed his temples, hoping he could pluck a plan from there. The exits were blocked, guards at those exits. It was an impossible mission, even for Ranma
Then, a thought popped in
"I've got a plan" He told the president
"Oh really? Please, do tell"
Ranma told him the plan. The President laughed
"That is a stupid plan indeed! But it just might work!"
And they went to work on their plan
Iraqian Capital Building, Iraq

"Well, at least we look like the terrorists" remarked Ranma
"I cannot believe I am wearing the foul garb of my enemies' army!" The President remarked loudly
"Please sir, you have to stay quiet. We don't want to get caught"
The president grumbled a response and straightened up. Ranma and the president moved methodically through the hallway of the capital, garbed in the uniform of two Iranian soldiers, which they had procured most violently after a brief tussle between the guards outside the President's office. The guards were now stuffed into a hidden away broom closet.
"I hope this works" The President whispered
"Just be quiet and let me do the talking. With our Balaclavas, they won't be able to see our faces"
The president remained silent as they marched through the empty hallways of the capitol building. Erratic bursts of gunfire echoed loudly, but they still walked a silent vigil
"Careful" Ranma whispered "I can hear about three guards, heavily armed"
"Can we take them if necessary?" The president asked
"I believe so"
"Good"
And that was that
"Hey, you two, what are you doing here?" One of the guards said
"We're just patrolling through. Lieutenants orders" Ranma quipped
"All right, keep going. By the way, did we get that bastard president?"
"Yeah, he's dead"
The men cheered wildly. Ranma and the President continued
"Those fools did not suspect a thing" The president remarked
"Thank god they didn't"
Once again, they were silent until they exited out of the capitol building into the defensive forces outside
"I see a jeep. That will be our method of escape" Ranma said
The President nodded and entered the side seat of the jeep as Ranma turned the keys that were conveniently left on the ignition. With a roar, they drove out of the compound, with nary a look from any of the Iranian soldiers as they sped by
"Lambert, I and the President have escaped from the Capitol Building. Advise escape route from city" Ranma said while pressing a finger into his neck
"Okay well, simply drive down south for exactly 20 clicks and there will be a safe room where you'll meet with our detachment of men"
"Understood"
They had escaped from the capitol building, dressed in the uniforms of the Iranians and using one of their jeeps conveniently placed out of the perimeter
Ranma thought that maybe it was a trap, but no one could have anticipated this! No one knows about us Splinter Cells, so how could they know?
Ranma turned to the President and asked "Wasn't that too easy?"
"Why yes, I do believe s-"
An earsplitting boom as Ranma's vision suddenly flared orange, then faded to a deep blackness
