Prologue: Terrorist Attack
Bogotá, Columbia,1201hours
Columbian time, 02.03.08
It's a beautiful mid day in Bogotá
with the temperatures climbing to
80°C. Very hot for this time of the
year. Children are playing football in
the street and other people are simply
walking the streets. Convoy made up
of three Mercedes' drives thought the
streets of Columbian capital. In one
of cars sits American Ambassador
Lane Walters who will meet the
Columbian Attorney General Garcia
Nunez to talk to him about a
conspiracy to overthrow Columbian
President Vergas in a military coup-
de-etat. Mr. Garcia wants this
meeting to take place immediately
with the US government and also
wants a total protection from the US
for his country from this possible
threat. US agrees to send their
representative, in form of Ambassador
Lane to meet him in Justice building
of Bogotá.
Three Mercedes cars turns to a tight
right turn in between two buildings.
Bogotá's streets are famous being
narrow and this one was not any
different. Lead Mercedes passes by
the apartment building and suddenly
chaos starts in that narrow street.
A man with a red mask over his face
appears on roof of the warehouse in
that narrow street, he is holding a
rocket propelled grenade, a Russian
launcher that is favored by terror
groups everywhere and this ambusher
fires RPG projectile at the car. RPG
rocket fired by roof gunner with its
white trail of smoke slams in the lead
car's front windshield. The explosion
is tremendous and hot shrapnel rips
though flash and bone. Orange flames
shoot from wrecked car and drivers of
the two remaining cars thought the
same thing.
It's an ambush.
The basic ambush is hitting lead car
and last car, thus causing total chaos
and one deadly car sandwich. Third
car backs up to avoid that same
situation in this case, but a RPG
gunner fires round with trailing smoke
that hits the car's rear windshield.
The explosion rips a Mercedes and its
occupants with ease. People inside
are cocked immediately and flames
shoot out the vehicle.
Two down cars in flames, and one to
go.
Dozen AK- 47 gunners appear on the
roof of warehouse and begun to press
triggers of their weapons. Steel rain
of 7.62 bullets hits the remaining car
and thus hitting everything inside of
the vehicle. Steady volume of fire
hitting the vehicle's windows, engine,
and the tires. Bullets cut through the
car's light steel like a knife through
butter. Bullets find the human
victim's flash and bone like a homing
missiles to the heat and human cries
are heard inside. Lane Walters and
her security detail are filled with
bullets, like the Swiss cheeses.
Stench of the death and cordite smoke
is smelled by sensitive noses of
killers.
"Kill team leader to HQ", leader of
ambush team speaks in his satellite
phone, "we are done here."
"Very well done, Sergeant Lopes",
El Diablo responds, "Get ready for
Phase 2"
"Roger, El Diablo" Sergeant Lopes
says.
Sergeant Lopes puts his satellite
phone in his pouch and orders his
team to move out to next location.
They leave in speedy manner from the
ambush location.
White House, Washington D.C,
02.04.08,0800hours eastern time
President Ian Walker sits in the
Oval Office and watches
developments to a huge story on TV,
an ambush of Ambassador's three car
convoy and death of the Ambassador
Lane Walters by an unknown terror
group. President Walker is an exactly
one month and four days in the Oval
Office. He is a first African-American
President that is same time member
of Independent party, and member of
NRA in history of USA and he
served in Special Forces in Vietnam
and retired at end of the war. He is
6"0 and 210lbs African-American
man with smooth shaven
face and bold head. Grey suit and
blue tie fits him like glove and he is born in
born in Harlem, New York City.
There is knocking at his door.
His secretary Judy comes out and
says, "People that you are expecting
are here."
President is surprised that he sees
only three members of Chief of Staff
enter the Oval Office. First man,
General Harold Mayes, Chief of
Defense Intelligence Agency.
Harold's army uniform has many
medals and ribbons running what
seems like forever. Second man is
Admiral Greg Williams, NSA chief
and his uniform has a Trident, a
symbol that Navy SEALS graduates
get. Third is CIA director, Thomas
"Bill Bob" Rayne who is an old
southern boy. Both military personal
wore military uniforms and the last
one wore a three piece suite. All of
them had their hands behind their
back for respect to president, while
they stand.
"What group is responsible for killing
those people?" asked President
Walker.
CIA director answers "We thing we
know who is responsible for this
attack. It's Communist Armed Forces
of Columbia (CAFC), Narco terrorist
group that believes in Communist
way of life."
"Who is their leader and what do we
know about him?" President Walker
asks.
"He is Hector Dias", says Williams,
"Hector is a very ruthless man and his
people are very loyal followers. His
criminal record stretches from his
boyhood age of 12 and he killed many
people perfectly. He is now leader of
the group and owner of the biggest
drug smuggling operation in the
world. He runs CAFC like a
dictatorship and his main income is
drugs. He is very frantically
communist and believer in Stalin
regime way."
"How do we beat the Hector and
CAFC?" President Walker questions.
"We use Special Ops for this mission
Mr. President" says Harold, DIA
chief, "In form of Joint Task Force ,
like the task force who hunted down
Osama and Hussein. These recruits
will be veterans of Special Ops and
they will be taken from Navy SEALS,
Green Berets, Delta Force, Rangers,
and Force Recon.
"Explain further General", asks
President Ian.
General answers, "This unit is small
and versatile unit that will fight this
group and future opponents of USA.
We need this unit to be our teeth and
claws of this country. I believe that I
have eight suitable recruits for this
unit. All eight of them are from four
major Special Forces of USA. We are
Codenaming this unit the Eagle
Force."
"Excellent, General Harold", says
President Walker, "You are the
commander of this unit, General and
Thomas and Greg are responsible for
intelligence and planning. I want you
three to do your intelligence on the
group and recruit and train all eight
commandos for operation phase. I
will sign direct action on this satiation
to take down this man and his
organization. I will give you full
support on this operation. You can
go now."
All three members of Chief of staff
leave the President alone and he
looks through the window and sees
blue, white, and red flag of United
States of America. He thought of
Shakespeare quote that is a truth
today and will be truth many years to
come. Its famous in one of his plays,
and its Julius Caesar .
Cry "Havoc," and let slip the dogs of war". (Act III, Scene I).
