In the heart of the military base, a group of Special Forces soldiers was killing time playing rugby. These elite warriors operated far away from their homes and from their families. Many of them had thought that mission in an unstable country torn by inner conflicts, but it's been months since they were given a special task. Days turned into weeks as they idled away, awaiting their long-anticipated mission. Everyone expected something big was being prepared and they will be able to test their skills in real combat. Finally, the awaited news came...
"Hi Ladies, we have a new mission. Colonel is waiting for us in briefing room in twenty minutes."
Everyone was happy for the challenge, no matter what it could be. Only lieutant Jenkins slightly show sign of enthusiasm, In fact he couldn't wait no less than others.
There was complete silence while Colonel was speaking.
"Today, you represent the pinnacle of our elite forces, handpicked for a mission shrouded in secrecy. Our objectives are clear, and they are as follows:
1. Elimination of Paramilitary Leader: Our primary goal is to locate and eliminate the leader of the paramilitary group, a ruthless and cunning adversary Mjr Gaskin. His removal is critical to destabilizing their operations and bringing an end to their reign of terror. We know his place thanks to information given by our spy.
2. Rescue of Key Spy: Alongside our primary mission, there is a second crucial objective. We must rescue the mentioned informant who contacted us and for months was sending us valuable information. We don’t know his name, but he is near Mjr Gaskin.
3. In addition to our primary and secondary objectives, we must also sabotage the paramilitary group's operations. We have a chance not only to eradicate the head of the rebels but also to destroy one of their bases and supplies.
4. Minimal Footprint: This mission must remain covert, and we cannot afford to leave a trace of our presence. We'll operate in the shadows, and our escape must be swift and silent.
Major Green leads the mission. Stay focused, have each other's backs, and remain unwavering in your dedication. Success is the only outcome we accept. Godspeed, and may fortune favor the bold."
Jenkins was ready for the mission. He wasn't ready to be under Green's command. Young Major was promoted recently. They were friends, but also competed secretly with each other, having a positive relationship. Entrusting the mission to a friend hit Jenkins more than he could predict. He didn't like any detail provided by Green. The plan was too complicated, too safe, and too brave at the same time, the group was too big, drop point was too far from their enemy. He had a face-to-face conversation with his new commander. Soldier proposed single one-man action.
"It's not a mission for a group but one skilled hero. He could strike immediately the enemy's base."
"No. Command must have reasons. It's not an 80s action movie and you are not a ninja warrior. I know you love single rides. My mission, my rules. Remember, insubordination is strictly punished, no matter how skilled soldier you are. Do you understeand?"
"Yeah. Fuck off".
Green didn't accept and warned Jenkins to stick to the rules. Jenkins still hoped for a single ride feeling offended Major doesn’t believe in his skills… He also had a private mission. He was suspecting who may be a spy. He met a young beautiful girl who came from a small mountain village a few months ago. They had a close relationship but she suddenly disappeared. Now it turns out her home village is the heart of the rebel base.
The drop took place in windy conditions. Jenkins separated from his teammates even though they had a clear plan. He landed much nearer their target. However, Jenkins was trapped high above the ground, tangled between branches. ""What the hell?", Jenkins thought.
To free himself soldier had to cut ropes, and fall into the river. The time he saved by landing nearer the enemy's base was consumed by hiding a parachute and drying clothes. His luck didn't last for long. Suddenly three armed men in military outfits appeared from nowhere. He was surronded by the enemy.
To be continued...
