Be Advised: This will be another one of the shortest missions, too. Since there really is nothing wrong with it and the only changes needed are minute but factual ones.

21:30:14, U.S. Ambassador Residence, Kuwait City, Kuwait, inside a makeshift war room, Farah draws up the JTF's next move based on her knowledge of The Wolf, The Butcher, Al-Qaeda and the Taliban.

Farah: The Wolf is back with The Butcher. Terrorist cells in the city will hide them. Bravo, Alpha and Hitman will clear house to house in search. My people will help you. If they try to escape to the mountains of Iraq, there is only one road. Ṭarīq Al-mawt, the Highway of Death. The Americans and their NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) partners bombed it during the Persian Gulf War, killing the people trying to escape. There is a village at the crossroads. I sent Hadir and his Commandos there to prepare an ambush. Alex and I will join them and take up firing positions above the road. Lying in wait... for The Wolf.

Highway Of Death

October 29th, 2019 - 08:00:00

Agent Alex Keller

C.I.A. Special Activities Center, ANA Commando Corps

Highway 80, Kuwaiti-Iraqi Border

--

Farah: The Highway is below us. Hadir has reinforcements in position to ambush The Wolf.

Alex: We're easy prey for the Russians out here if they pay us a visit.

Farah: (English) Yes, our window is short. Prime Minister Zakhaev's men are on the hunt for us after taking Barkov Air Force Base. He has lost control. He will retaliate. *whistles* (Dari) Hold here. (English) Let's move. We have to cut The Wolf off at the pass.

So while the British S.A.S., the Marine Raider Regiment and the Kuwait Army turn Kuwait City upside-down, Alex, Kilo 1 and Hadir set up an ambush in the Highway of Death. If The Wolf is planning to bug out to a safer place that is not Afghanistan, then Iraq will be his best bet.

On standby, Echo 3-1 and the Afghan National Army Commando Corps brother-sister team bond over a test fire of Hadir's Sniper Rifle. A homemade, .338 Lapua Magnum, armor-piercing, bolt-action sniper rifle with an effective firing range of over 600 meters/656 yards.

When Al-Qaeda and the Taliban finally arrive, things go well for the C.I.A. Special Activities Center and the ANA Commando Corps as they kill scores of terrorists who come in with KSVK 12.7 anti-material rifles, 2S21 Sani mortar systems, and truck bombs. But neither The Wolf nor The Butcher are anywhere in Highway 80.

What is fast approaching the ambush zone next is far worse.

Afghan Soldier 6: Please.

Alex: (Dari) (off comms) Thank you, my friend. (English) (on comms) Echo 3-1 for Bravo 6.

Captain Price: Alex, The Wolf fled the city. He's headed your way, and the Russians are right behind him.

[KSVK 12.7 fire]

Farah: SNIPER! Stay low! Don't let him see you!

Hadir: GET DOWN! STAY COVERED!

Alex: Troops in contact, Bravo 6.

Captain Price: Copy. On our way.

Farah: Those shots came from the Highway!

[Hadir's Sniper Rifle fire]

Alex: Got him.

Farah: Good kill, Alex.

Hadir: Al-Qaeda is regrouping across the Highway!

Farah: This could be him!

[2S21 Sani fire]

[explosion]

Alex: Al-Qaeda mortar team, 600 meters.

[Hadir's Sniper Rifle fire]

Alex: They're gone.

[Su-25s fly by]

[explosions]

Farah: Russian Su-25s! They're hitting Al-Qaeda?

Alex: Doing the job for us.

Hadir: The Russian Armed Forces will be here soon!

Alex and Farah's predictions are then proven correct as the Russian Armed Forces arrive to hunt everyone down with Su-25 Frogfoot subsonic bombers and BTR-90s. Despite all the territorial and explosive tricks the C.I.A. Special Activities Center and the ANA Commando Corps have, Prime Minister Viktor Zakhaev's men have the skill, number and firepower advantages that tip the odds in their favor.

With the walls rapidly closing in, Hadir plays one last card in the form of a regular pickup truck.

[engine starts]

Alex: *opens tail gate* Russian Sarin Gas?

Hadir: Yes! And now we send it back to the Russians!

[Frag Grenade detonation]

[Sarin Gas disperses]

[Alex coughs]

Hadir: *puts on CM-7M Military Gas Mask* The gas masks and the antidotes are in my bunker! Come quickly! You and Farah have one minute!

[Russian Soldiers cough and die]

[Afghan Soldiers cough and die]

Farah: HADIR! WHAT IS THIS?! *coughs*

Hadir: A taste of their own medicine!

Farah: *coughs* WHAT?!

Hadir: The Sarin Gas! If they can use it, so can we! Go, people! Inside! *opens door*

[Alex and Farah collapse]

[door closes]

Echo 3-1, Kilo 1 and Kilo 2 barely make it to the makeshift bunker and receive the gas masks and antidotes. Once saved, despite losing control over her own body, even her bowels, because of the Sarin Gas, Farah gets furious with Hadir for stealing the chemical weapon from Prime Minister Viktor Zakhaev and Alex and the late Hitman Team 7 themselves.

Hadir: Sister!

Farah: Get the FUCK off of me! So Iran was where you were five days ago... HUH?! Who did you kill to get this shit?! Russians?! Iranians?! AMERICANS?! OUR OWN PEOPLE?! How could you do this?!

Hadir: We have no choice, Farah! The Russians, Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, they can kill us all anytime now! All bets are off!

Farah: No! Not like this! Not... like— *passes out*

Hadir: Sister?! Sister! Alex. Listen to me. I stole the gas from the Russians... and you. To help us. Only to help all of us. I hope you can understand that. And please, tell Farah. Tell her, Alex.

[Alex passes out]
