"Mountaintop!" O'Donnell tersely gave the go-code as all of the commandos' watches reached 0545 hours.
"Valley!" Harper responded that her squad was complying. Granger could see the line of commandos silently begin their advance as he hazarded a glance at his unit's monitor with his left eye. As he peered back through his scope, he ordered,
"Hold!" As he saw Nguyen drop out of sight while another was pointing an SMG at the undercover operative. Granger had not seen a muzzle flash and the weapon did not appear to have a suppressor but the sniper could not be sure from his angle. With insufficient data, he fell back on his SAS training which dictated 'when in doubt, kill–because doubt kills' in this kind of situation. The open door of the hut provided a clear shot at the target's torso and Granger sent one round speeding mercilessly at it. As the target fell, he managed to fire off one shot and Granger saw the muzzle flash glow blue. The sniper was concerned for a split-second until he saw a glowing headband quickly appear and run off toward the rendezvous. Only a moment after the report of the rifle shot, men came pouring from the main building. The M-60 in Miner's hands came to life with a loud, prolonged belch as hot lead became a furiously lethal rainstorm which drowned out half a dozen lives before the opponents realized the front door might not be the best way to make egress. He saw a group approaching from the general direction of the huts and shifted his aim. He was about to open fire when he spotted the glowing headband in the middle. He decided to provide a distraction by firing an couple short bursts in the group's general direction. They not only scattered but started panic firing in his direction. He saw the UMP45 firing at him as well. He then saw the 9mm discharge multiple rounds into nearby attackers. They didn't even note that the reduction of their ranks was coming from within.
"Lieutenant…?" Miner called out as he saw the glowing headband approaching him. The figure raised both hands and called out,
"MacIvers!" As the Asian agent spotted the machine gun pointed at him he gave his wide-eyed reply. He continued by giving the predetermined identifying info, "Years of being an Air Force Commando prepared me for almost everything the CIA could throw at me but seeing the business end of a Hog is quite a unique experience for Mrs Nguyen's boy." He purposely pronounced his last name to sound like enjoyin rather than the more accurate win as part of the recognition process. Miner replied,
"The FBI trained me well enough to act as a Bodyguard for O'Donnell's business, so I think you are in safe hands." Suddenly a voice announced in his ear,
"Buccaneer, Buccaneer!" On the far end of the compound, Flynn shifted the aim of her MSG90A1 as she spotted the trucks entering the compound from the main road. She had already emptied one 5-round magazine and part of another. She pumped the 2 remaining rounds into the engine block of the foremost vehicle. She was not surprised when, contrary to popular opinion, the truck did not come to an immediate stop. The Marine Scout/Sniper turned ATF tactical shooter deftly changed magazines. This time she inserted a 20-round clip due to the number of people pouring out of the back of the vehicle. None of the combatants inside the compound presented an immediate threat so she ignored them for now unless there was a call for assistance. About 30 feet away on the other side of the road, Purple announced,
"I got the other vehicle." He sent one round hurtling from his M-24 into the head of the driver and then smoothly worked the rifle's bolt-action. The SUV swerved into the truck and then flipped over. Two men jumped out of the wreck and began to follow the rest, but were cut down by the FBI Sniper turned SWAT Sniper.
"Nice Shooting!" Flynn murmured as she cut down 6 more figures making their way from the truck each one requiring only a simple trigger pull… when call for assistance did indeed come in.
"Southside is presenting a challenge. Oversight is requested." Harper announced as her team approached the edge of the huts and someone began spray and pray firing with an AK-47. The good thing was that the popular weapon was not the most accurate one in the world while the bad thing was that it only took one lucky shot and the Kalashnikov had much better range than her team's 10mm MP-5s. Granger announced that he had no target and a moment later a shot punctuated the firefight from further south and the AK-47's muzzle flashes arced upward as a chuckled you're welcome came from Flynn. Less than a minute later, Harper and the 4 men with her began their assault on the huts with their suppressed weapons.
