Joe asks Michael what the Tequila is for. Michael smiles and whispers to Joe, and Alby, they are going to force the two helpers to each drink a bottle right as the last of us leaves the plane. By the time we have all surrendered, and the feds go through their process of getting to them, the two helpers will be out cold and won't be able to say anything until this is all over and David is all done.
Let's call Pong before you go. "Hi Pong, how's it going?
Pong laughs and tells them good job stalling you guys.
Michael replies, "Who's stalling, we are partying up a storm here. Michael shows her the table of cards cigars and Tequila bottles. They all laugh. Are the wives all good?"
Pong, "yes, they are fine. They are extremely proud of you guys, by the way."
Alby, "And David's team?"
Pong tells them that they are all meeting now and that David says he will have things wrapped up in 40 minutes. So, you are doing great in terms of time.
Michael "that is great to hear, about David. We plan to pour the tequila down the throats of the two helpers, including our fake Pedro, so they can't talk when the feds get them. While they are getting hammered, we will use our surrenders to buy as much time as possible. When we leave, the helper with no I.D. will be passed out. He has been tied with earplugs in and has had his head covered since he got onto the plane. We tasered him before the whole dumping out Pedro bit and put the fake Pedro into the bedroom. So, the non-fake Pedro helper thinks Pedro is in the bedroom. We have been talking to Pedro in the bedroom like he was in there the whole flight.
So, it will take them 30 minutes to get the three of us out, 15 minutes to get fake the first helper out, then another 10 minutes to get fake Pedro out. The two will be drunk for at least an hour after they get them outside, so it will be at least an hour and a half before the helpers say a word.
It will buy plenty of time for David to pull off his operation.
Pong, "You guys make me prouder every day. I am pretty sure they will wait until they have Pedro before they come for us here. But maybe not. Logic doesn't seem to play much of a role in their lives...hehe."
Michael tells Pong they are threatening to gas us, so we better go."
Pong "Thank you, guys. You are saving many lives by doing this."
Joe looks at Alby and says, “now aren't you glad you never learned to fly.” They both laugh and say poor Joe. They open the door, and Joe puts his hands above his head and walks down the step very slowly.
The negotiator tells Joe to walk forward with his handcuffed hands up until they say to stop. Joe pretends he can't hear and points to his ears to stall even more, but he complies. They instruct Joe to lay face down on the ground. Joe also stretches that out. Once he is down, 4 men rush at him and double cuff his hands and put shackles on him. They pull out his wallet and give a thumbs up. They rush Joe away, and now the negotiator says to send Pedro out.
Pong is watching this on T.V. from her control station and is so annoyed that Joe’s family has to watch her hero of a husband and father watch him being treated like a terrorist. Pong sends the President another message: Mr. President, I am now watching the very men who; found your Frog Man, identified the 100 men who carried out the attack on this country; and identified the man who planned the entire attack being treated like they are the attackers on worldwide television. Not only are you embarrassing my people, but you are also putting hundreds of thousands of lives in danger by delaying my men. This is beyond petty politics and is well into the realm of utter stupidity, greed, and selfishness, and incompetence. If anything happens to my people during this little charade of yours, I will make sure you and your team are fired and arrested.
The Queen has spent several hours going through the evidence and is shocked by what she is reading. She sees that the CIA got caught in their shenanigans and is pinning their mistake on Pong and her team.
Pong has had enough and calls the President one more time. The President's secretary answers and Pong asks to speak to the President. The President's secretary tells Pong that the President is not taking her calls. Pong messages the President. Mr. President. It is clear that once you got your hands-on Pedro that you would torture him to implicate my team and me in the attacks. You are so naive and careless. I can no longer allow you to do this to my men. Your arrogance and distrust have just cost you your job. What happens now is all your doing.
Very soon, it will be you calling me for mercy. When that time comes, and it will be soon. You should save your money because you are going to need every penny you have for attorneys, just like the last guy who tried to frame me. Good luck, you are going to need it.
The CIA negotiator calls for the next one to come out. Alby tells Michael they must be going by looks first now. All I know Michael is that I sure wouldn't want to be the President when this is over. Pong is going to tear him every way but loose. Michael replies, yeah, for such a sweet thing, she has that mother bear instinct times 10. Alby also asks Michael to make sure to have Pong call the wives. Michael agrees and tells Alby to be calm and to relax and not to make any sudden moves. Alby tells Michael he sure wished he could be inside the plane when they realize...
Michael takes a step toward Alby and whispers into his ear and tells him they will later. Michael tells Alby the plane is bugged and that live video and audio starting recording from the moment we got onto the plane here in Albuquerque. Even fake Pedro is being filmed right now. David had them installed before we left. They both laugh and shake their heads at what morons the Feds are.
Michael calls Pong before Alby heads down. Michael says hi to Pong and asks how things are going there.
Pong "25 minutes Michael, that is all we need. We are next here, so I better go too... hehe."
David's operation begins
10 helicopters are waiting loaded with tarps, rope, with 60 caliber machine guns mounted, rockets, and 4 men per chopper. The men are all in plastic jumpers, and all have gas masks.
David greets Edward and his men, and they gather in a room.
David, Edward, and the 10 London teams are all in a room and have the 10 remote teams connected on a conference call.
David "Ladies and Gentlemen, we have excellent intel that the same perps who carried out the attacks in the U.S. are geared up to do that same thing here and possibly today at noon.
"I have addresses of 20 total locations, and 10 are here in London. The others are in each city on this conference call.
"We have choppers on standby in the other 10 major cities, and we are going to hit all 20 locations at once. When I say at once, I mean to the second, not the minute. We need to hit them hard and fast at the exact same time, so no one has time to send out a warning or trigger an immediate attack code.
"Their M.O. in the U.S. was to prep the drones and then leave about a week before the attacks. So, there may or may not be perps inside the buildings where the drones are.
"Once everyone is in place, at precisely 9:00 am to team members will toss smoke grenades onto the roofs of the buildings to the show the choppers where to drop off the roof teams.
"The moment the chopper is over the roof, the ground team hits the front doors. Taser whoever you can so we can get more intel on the leaders. However, we have a lot of intel already, so I don't want to put any of us at risk. If you can, take them safely, great, but if they resist or put anyone of us in danger, put them down, get their phone and move on. If they make it to a room and lock the door, give the door one kick. If you are not in the room in one kick, fill the room with holes.
We already have enough intel leading all the way to the top, so this a low-risk operation in terms of collecting these guys alive. Our priorities are drones, our safety, phones, live prisoners.
"In every building, there will be a large open room. It will be filled with drones ready to take off. In the center of the drones in each building, there will most likely be a propane or other type of fuel tank. If there is a drone on that tank, that is the one drone you can touch
. You need to get that drone away from the tank immediately. If there is not a drone already on it, then use your tarp to cover the tank. We need to cover that tank ASAP and is your top priority one once you have the place secured fast so that a drone is not able to land on it and drill a hole into it, causing it to blow. Don't touch the other drones. About half of them will have a toxin loaded in a CO2 cartridge.
"We need to act fast and stop anyone in the building and prevent them from tipping off their leadership or triggering the attack from the other sites by any means necessary.
"Hitting them all at the same time, to the second, if possible, is of the greatest importance. Anyone going in early puts everyone else at risk.
"Anyone who gets an unlocked phone is to get it out to someone who can get it to a vehicle to put it onto a charger and start mining it for intel.
"For those in charge of getting the intel out of the phones, we want everything. Get pics, contacts, phone records, chats, everything. Then send what you have to the number Edward is sending you now. Write the number on your hand if that helps.
Make sure the phone stays charged so that it doesn't run dead and turn back on in locked mode. We will have enough people available so you can quickly pass phones off to an available person.
"Everyone, these phones are intel mines. They need to be mined quickly and thoroughly.
"The farthest target from a plane is 32 minutes. We all strike at exactly 9:00am.
"Here are your addresses.
"I want those smoke grenades on every roof at exactly 9:00 am.
By the way, we will use the intel we receive today for this operation but are handing over all intel and all perps to you. This is your country under attack.
"Are we all good?
Everyone confirms.
Hurrah everyone. Hurrah.
Target 1 with David Alex and Dan.
David, Alex, and Dan are in the chopper heading to their location. At precisely 9:00 am, the ground team tosses smoke grenades up onto the roof. The pilot zooms in and hovers at a foot above the roof.
David "go, go, go."
They all jump off the landing bar of the chopper onto the roof, and the chopper raises up and hovers above, looking fleeing suspects. The ground team busts in. There are two men inside, and one is frantically pushing buttons on his cellphone. The ground team tasers the guy with the phone, and the man hits the ground. They cuff the guy and take his picture and take the phone outside and hand it off to an available soldier who takes it to the car, plugs in a charger to it, and starts taking pics of the information on the phone.
The 2nd perp puts his hands in the air and gets on his knees.
David radio’s that the roof is secure and that his team is coming down.
A third member of the Queen's team runs to the propane tank located in the center of all the drones checks for a drone on it and then covers it with a tarp.
Queen’s guard "I have a map of the 20 sites and from 1 to 3 phone numbers next to each site."
David, "Looks at it, takes a picture of it and sends it to Pong."
Pong and her team all start pinging the phones on the list to get their locations.
Pong "24 of the phones are still in the country, and 14 of them are at or near airports. Pong writes back asking if the attack is today, it is today David. We will know soon.
2 perps are stationary residential units in Oxford, and 2 are stationary in Cambridge.
The remaining 6 are in a vehicle heading south on M3 and are just leaving London.
David "Oxford and Cambridge teams, what is your status."
Cambridge team leader "We are wrapping up here."
A Queen's detail soldier calls out to David and says he needs to see something.
David follows him into the drone room. They walk to the drones, and the soldier turns around, and David turns with him. They are looking at a large LED clock that is ticking down, it is now at 0 hours, 32 minutes, 12 seconds counting. David takes a picture of it and sends it to Pong. Then sends a short video of it counting down.
David tells Edward, "Here are your new targets. There are two suspects in each of these two apartments. We will start sending you pings from their phones."
Oxford Team leader "We are clear here."
David "Here is your new target. There are two suspects in an apartment. We will start sending you pings from their phones.
"Cambridge and Oxford switch to channel 227."
David "Same thing, so far, I think we have caught them by surprise." I want you to hit both locations at the same time. We have a van with 6 perps in it on the freeway, and the element of surprise would be significant there too."
David "All London teams report your status
London 8 clear
London 4 clear
London 9 clear
London 7 clear
London 3 clear
London 5 clear
London 2 clear.
London 10 clear
At Heathrow airport, there are 6 suspects in line to board a flight, but they spread out in pairs in line, and all of them have their phones turned on and in their hands.
Queen's Guardsman "We have the 6 suspects in line to board the flight. They all have their phones on and in their hands. All 6, make that 8.
London team 1 at the tarmac " We now have 8 inline.
David asks how many guardsmen they have.
The team replies they have 12 in the terminal and 4 in the car at the end of the tarmac.
David tells them to take them all in the tarmac, if possible. If they have to take them inside the terminal, it will be on the news, and the van full of perps will probably take down civilians with them.
Queens Guardsman "Understood, we can handle it.
The ticket agent is a Queens Guardsman
The first pair hands the agent their tickets. She puts it in backward a couple of times to create a gap between them and the passenger in front of them. The agent puts in the right way on the 3rd attempt, the ticket agent says, "There we go, have a nice flight.”
The two men walk down the tarmac, and when they take the angle to the left, the two guardsmen taser the two men and drag them to the service door and hand them to the four men waiting for them.
Guardsman "David, negative on the live calls. They are in text mode but are not in a conversation with anyone on either phone.
David "roger that.” The two men wait for the warning of the next two. Ten or so passengers pass by, and they get the warning."
The Ticket agent Reaches for their tickets and drops one. She bends down to pick it up and inserts it backward. Ah, she pushes them into the machine correctly and hands them back to them. The 2 suspects head down the tarmac. They turn the corner and are tasered, and are drug out, and handed off to the van team. The Queen’s guardsman secures all 8 without issue.
Guardsman “Eight in the bag, no problems.”
David "good work."
The Guard detail report into David to get new orders.
David "London teams, please turn to channel 225."
David "We have 6 or possibly more suspects in a van driving toward a port in Brighton on M3 south. They are just leaving London now. There is a heavily wooded area on M3 with a crook in the road right before the take-down point. Timewise, it is tight but a great place to take em without risking the public.
"I want teams 2,3,4, and 5 to take a wide route to M3 and exit 3016, so they don't see you from the van and sit down on the ground beyond the trees away from the M3 and wait for further orders. Haul ass folks. Go now if you can go there at maximum speed. Be sure to be far enough away that the suspects don’t see you.
"Sit down about a mile past the intersection and behind the trees from the intersection and await further orders. I will send you the GPS landing point now.
"We are not alerting local police there yet. If local law enforcement shows up where you land, just ask them to wait. Tell them it is the queens business and they can contact the palace. Invite them t
o wait and join us, but do not tell them the meeting point.
"Teams 5,6,7,8, you will be with me, and we will close them off from behind.”
Reports come into David; we now have all 12 in the airports with no issues."
Oxford team leader, "We have 2 in custody here. Lots of intel.
David, "Great job."
Please take pics and send them all to me asap.
Oxford team leader "roger that"
Cambridge team leader "We have 2 suspects in custody and have intel as well."
Outside of London, the 4 choppers sit down on the other side of the forest near exit 3016 and M3. The van is about 10 minutes away.
David, “I am sending you all a satellite pic of where we will take them down. I want choppers 2 and 3 on one side behind the trees and choppers 4 and 5 on the other side of the freeway. I want all but the non-pilots to spread out on the ground along the road. Give plenty of space, so you don’t create friendly fire. I want each of you to stand and identify where each roadside-shooter is before you settle in, so you have a plan for preventing friendly fire.
“Pilots be ready to jump up to block the roads on my command. We will let them get past the B3016 and into the little stretch surrounded by trees to eliminate civilian casualties and will take them there. Take them alive if you can, but I don’t want any of us going down trying to be gentle with these guys. Choppers 2-5 are in position, and the non-pilots are on the side of the road with machine guns, stun guns, and grenades.
David “Notify the locals and have them block off northbound lanes at Totters Lane overpass. Be sure to have them stay away from our target area.
“And tell them specifically not to be near or cross the 3016 intersections at any time.
Team 2 leader, “Roger that.”
David “The van is now 1 km from B3016.”
“Pilots 2-5 be ready, and the locals have blocked the northbound lanes now.
Take out their tires 50 yards before they pass the first pair of shooters, so they are not directly between your pairs. We do not want any friendly fire. If they get in between a pair of you, let the others take em.
