Chapter 3:
Tony asked after several intense moments of silence, "What did you just say?"
Kyle replied as the air came alive with an intense barrage of automatic weapons fire, "You heard me. Where the hell is that Reaper?"
Tony replied, "It will be there."
Kyle replied, "Copy that. Dessler out."
Jack stated as they heard the sound of the approaching chopper, "We need to stop them."
Kyle gave a brisk nod as he called, "Sniper up."
A small guy with brick red hair and emerald green eyes jogged up and said, "Yes sir."
Kyle said, "Give me your rifle."
Without saying a word the sniper handed him his 7.62 mm x 51 HK MSG90A1. He knelt down behind the sniper rifle and peered into the 24X ZEISS Victory FL Diavari. He placed the illuminated reticle on one of the hostile's head and gently squeezed the trigger and watched as the 181 grain boat tailed Lapua made his head explode like an overripe melon.
Richardson watched as Dixon; Willis's RTO was killed with a headshot. He keyed his COMM unit and demanded "Overwatch; did either of you see where the shot came from?"
Randy Brooks; former HRT sniper said, It came from the rock overhang to our 3 O'clock"
Richardson asked, "Do either of you have a shot?"
Jimmy Ericson; former Delta Force sniper replied in a flat voice as he peered through his TRIJICON Accupoint scope and prepared to pull the trigger of his 7.62mmX54 M24SWS, I've got a bead on the sniper."
Then he exclaimed, "Holy shit. The sniper is GYSGT Kyle Dessler and you'll never guess who's his spotter is."
Richardson asked, "Who?"
Ericson replied, "Jack Bauer."
The news made Richardson's blood run cold. Two of the most dangerous snipers in the world were trying to stop him. He couldn't believe this. He pulled out his cell and made a call.

Kim asked, "Tony when will that Reaper be on sight?"
Tony replied, "It should be on station in 2 minutes."
She relayed that information to Kyle; who yelled, "I don't think we have two minutes."
Kim asked in a concerned voice, "Why? What happened?"
Kyle replied as he downed another one of Willis's team with a center mass shot, "Me and Jack are the only two left and we're black on ammo"
Kim knew exactly what that meant. She asked, "Where is the drone coming from?"
Tony replied, Creech AFB. I'll connect you with the pilot; a one LT. Chris Tanner."
Kim nodded as Tony made the call.

Kyle glanced over at Jack and asked, "You hear that?"
Jack strained hard as he replied, "Yea..It sounds like…Oh shit it's a Mh-53M Pave Low IV."
Jack said, "CTU; we have an incoming helo. It sounds like the newest Pave Low."
Tony asked, "Are you sure Jack?"
Jack replied as Kyle killed three of Willis's men with center mass shots, "Yea; both me and Kyle recognize the sound."
Kyle replied as he downed Willis with a head shot, "ETA on the Reaper?"
Kim replied, "I just got off the phone with LT. Tanner at Creech. The Reaper will reach you in 3 minutes."
Both Jack and Kyle cursed as huge volley of automatic fire was unleashed upon them. Jack yelled, "The helo landed and we're pinned down."
Kyle yelled, "Track them with satellite."

Morris said, "On it mate."
As suddenly as it began it ended. Kyle risked a look and saw the helo lifting off. He thundered, "DAMMIT."
Jack said, "They got away."
