Roadside 1 “They will be 50 yards before us in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, now.
End Chapter 30
Chapter 31 - The Old Pong In A Box Trick
Roadside 1 team opens fire on the tires and knock out all 4 tires, and the van comes to a quick halt right between the roadside positions.
David “Have the locals close off all traffic in both directions until this is all wrapped up. Teams 9 and 10 blocks off the lanes just before the trees.
David has the Queen’s Guard chopper pilot pop up over the trees and positions himself behind the van and keeps his distance swaying left and right so as not to give the perps an easy shot at them.
“Teams 5 - blocks off the intersection so civilian traffic can’t enter the scene.
David “All roadside teams fire a burst on the wheels and engine.
All 8 machine guns open roadside soldiers hit the car with a machine-gun burst, and the van shakes from the impacts.
David speaks to the passengers inside the van over the chopper loudspeaker. “In five seconds, I want only the driver to come out slowly with hands up and empty. After the first one is out, we will tell you when a second one can come out.
The driver door opens first, and the driver comes out.
David, “take 5 steps forward and remove your pants and shirt and walk slowly ahead of the van down the center of the road.
The driver yells out “praise to Allah” and starts running toward the roadside men and reaches into his shirt and blows himself up.
David “Thank you...next” Front passenger side only.”
The front passenger side rider opens the door and immediately but slowly removes his pants and shirt and turns around to show them he has no weapons.
David “Now walk down the center of the road away from me, walk until I say to stop. Then lay down on the ground, face up with your hands above your head, and wait.
The man follows the instructions
David, “next.”
The sliding door of the van opens. One man can speak English and is translating to others.
David “The one speaking English, stay in the van to translate until the others are all out. Have one of your group come out and take five steps away from the van. The next suspect gets out, takes off his shirt and pants, and walks toward the first suspect. David tells him to stop when he has gotten within 20 meters of the first suspect. Inside the van, they speak Arabic, and a third suspect comes out, takes off his shirt and pants, and spins around slowly.
David “Now tell him to walk until I say stop. The perp walks until David tells him to stop. There is a spacing of about 50 yards between each of the suspects “Now lay down, face up with your hands above your head. Any variation, and he will be shot.”
David “Same thing for the next one.
They speak Arabic inside the van, and the fourth perp comes out and complies with the commands and ends up face up just short of number 3.
Outcomes number 5 and cooperate as well, and he complies as well.
David, “and now you.”
The last one comes out comes running out of the truck toward the shooters, yells Allah is great, reaches for inside his shirt, and a roadside shooter shoots him in the head.
David “No one goes near the van until we get help. There could be more perps, booby traps, and toxins inside. David calls out to the van. “Anyone in the van needs to come out now. No one replies.
David speaks to the shooters over the radio, telling them to shoot anything that comes out of the van. David tells them that all of the shooters, but the last pair slide down to the perps.
David tells the pilot, “We will fly around and will set it down over there beyond the perps, and the pilot starts forward.”
David turns the loudspeaker off and yells, “STOP.” To the pilot and the pilot stops. “Take a long way around, please.”
The pilot knows his mistake and apologizes and veers to the left. Two seconds later, the van goes up in a massive explosion, and the whole area becomes a giant ball of flames and flying van parts. Pieces of the van are flying in all directions; some parts are flying vertically over 300 feet. David and the pilot look at each other and shake their heads while grinning. They both know the perps were waiting for them to fly over the van.
Have the perps walk one at a time to where we land. We will cuff them there. The pilot puts the chopper down 50 yards beyond the farthest perp.
They cuff one perp at a time, put them on choppers, and they are brought to London.
David calls Pong
David “All done Pong, we have four live ones, and two had their own option B and are enjoying their 72 virgins about now. We won’t know if there were more in the van or not until “Haz-mat” gets here. There may turn out to be more in the van, but they blew it up pretty good.
Someone inside the van blew up their van, but it was in the middle of a forest, so we just need to keep M3 closed until it is cleared by Haz Mats, and then we are good to go.
No casualties on our side.
Pong “You are amazing, David. I will inform the Queen right now.
David “Please tell our queen her men are true professionals, and they deserve medals.”
Pong calls the Queen
Pong “Hello, my Queen. We have all of the 30 accounted for.
“We have 28 in custody and 2 of theirs dead of their own doing.
“Of the 6 in the van the, 4 surrendered, 1 self-detonated, one reached inside his shirt calling out Allah and your men shot him, we think the last one or more men blew up the van with a powerful bomb that we believe was intended to go off at the port.”
“We have a wealth of intel from phones, houses, and buildings.
The Queen “How many did our teams lose Pong.”
Pong “None my queen, zero dead, zero wounded.”
David is an artist at turning a very dangerous situation into very low risk. Anyway, all is good, and they have some prisoners for intel gathering.
The Queen “Yes, I suppose MI 6 might want them.”
Pong, “David told me to tell you that your men are absolute professionals, and you should be proud of them and that they all deserve medals.
Pong “There is a case that says Beyoncé Stage Mics on the outside of it. Could you have that delivered to a place where you can open it in private when I ask?”
The Queen says she will have it delivered right away.
Pong sends the pic of the clock that is stopped at 31:58. Then calls the Queen, “We are all clear, my Queen. David sent the picture of that clock. It was ticking down; we beat it by 32 minutes. The Queen tells Pong that she saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of England's Citizens today, Pong and that her country is forever in her debt. Saying thank you to you does not begin to express my gratitude, but thank you, Pong.
Pong instructs David and Edward to go to the Palace and get freshened up and tells him the box will be there and to open it when she says. Pong also writes the queen and tells her David and Edward are heading there to freshen up and requests that she participate in a press conference.
Back in Albuquerque, Michael is now the last of his team to leave the plane. He announces he will be coming out peacefully in 10 minutes and shuts the door.
Michael walks back and has the helper chug down a bottle of tequila. Michael also lights a cigar and puts it to his mouth and rubs it over him.
Michael waits 10 minutes for him to pass out and then does the same in the back bedroom with fake Pedro.
Once they are out cold, Michael smiles and unties fake Pedro. He removes the earplugs, leg ties, and blindfold. He does the same for the helper and throws everything in the toilet. Michael gets ready to go.
Every TV channel on the planet is glued to what has been unfolding. The remaining U.K. Attackers watching from their home countries are all celebrating because the feds are arresting the wrong guys, and they believe it will be too late for them to stop the U.K attack.
Michael opens the door and waits a few minutes to
tell them he is coming out peacefully. He takes a step out and slowly raises his handcuffed hands and waves to the cameras of the news helicopters. Michael walks down the stairs very slowly, he stops every couple of steps and just looks around and nods and smiles to the T.V. choppers.
He finally reaches the bottom step and walks forward as commanded and slowly turns around with his hands up and walks backward toward the mass of CIA agents. He lays down face first as commanded, and they swarm Michael as they did the others and put him into another car by himself.
The Fed negotiator calls out to those left in the plane. Pedro, come out with your hands in the air. There is silence. Pedro this is the CIA of the United States. Come out now, or we will take you by force. The helper sitting in a seat in the main seating area is sleeping with his head leaning against the closed window. The Feds meet and decide to board the plane. They send six men up the stairs, and they use mirrors and video cameras on sticks to assess the situation in the plane. They can see one slumped over asleep and report that he looks dead. They instruct him to put his hands in the air, which of course, he can't because he is passed out drunk. He is in such a drunken sleep that he is totally oblivious to anything that is happening around him.
The guys at the door of the plane smell the plane and believe they have smoked the cigars which would knock them out. They radio back the information they think he is drunk or smoked the cigars. They all rush in with every gun pointed at him. When they reach the aisle where the helper is, they realize he is out cold. Four of the agents point their weapons toward the back of the plane while two drag the helper out of the plane and down the stairs. The world is watching as the helper is cuffed and is dragged to a van now parked at the bottom of the steps of the plane and shoved inside the back seat. They immediately go through his pockets and find no I.D., and one of them radios his superior informing him there is no ID.
They go through the same routine in trying to coax out whoever is still in the back bedroom and spend another 15 minutes getting to him. Because Pedro is behind a door, they are worried about boobie traps, gunfire, or poisonous gas.
Michael, Joe, and Alby all know that there is no way any of them would tell the Feds anything in that situation and so they all stay silent and are all laughing inside knowing that the two helpers are passed out drunk in the plane and that Pedro is not one of them. They are all thinking about their families who are watching all of this and about David’s operation.
The Feds put a microphone to the door and can hear snoring. They finally open the bedroom door, and on the bed is "fake Pedro" passed out snoring away. They go through their pockets and pull out Pedro’s non-photo ID, and the leader radios to the leader that it is him. “We have him,” the agent radios the negotiator. All the agents are excited and doing high fives. Michael, Joe, and Alby know precisely what they are excited about and are snickering.
They carried fake Pedro out and put him in a second van and stuff him into it, and all 5 cars go racing away.
The news choppers zoom in on the last two they pulled out and are reporting based on all the high fiving going on that it appears the CIA has captured the mastermind of the attacks.
The CIA then sends 50 agents to tear apart the plane looking for hard drives, thumb drives, documents, guns, or any other evidence. They are tearing the plane apart inside and out. They have the engine cowls off; they rip the seats apart. They can’t find anything.
Tom is still watching and isn’t joking around anymore as he watches his plane being dismantled. “My beautiful plane.” He says to the others in the control room.
Pong knows Tom isn’t really that upset about it. It’s Ok, Pong tells him. “We will fix it up all nice and pretty for you.”
An agent gets into the back seat of Michael’s, Alby’s, and Joe’s car, and they tell them each that the first one to tell them where the evidence is hidden will receive a lighter sentence. Each agent tells each one of Michael’s team the others are talking, and they should confess to lighten their sentences. They have left the three side by side where they can see each other, and each agent begins writing as if Joe, Albie, and Michael were all talking. All three of them stay silent. After thirty minutes, the agents get out and communicate with each other and agree there is nothing on the plane.
The top CIA official goes out to an area where the press has been allowed to gather and reports they have captured Pedro Rodriguez, who manufactured the frog toxin and shipped it to the attackers.
After the press update, the Agent in charge tells his superior who is based in Washington, there is no evidence on the plane, and none has leaked from the plane since it arrived.
The top CIA leaders believe that Pong's team put all their eggs into bringing Pedro back and that Pong has no other hard evidence of anything. To them, it meant that they could now bury Pong for good. The CIA director messages the President and tells him they have Pedro, and nothing escaped from the plane. The President tells him to plant evidence in the plane just to make sure.
The CIA director advises that it is early for that and to wait. The President orders the CIA director to do it now. "I want her gone for good, you have no idea how much pressure I am under to silence that bitch. I thought I had her on the hacking charges, boy did we bungle that one...lol.
CIA director "Yes sir, we have a packet at the airport sir ready to go.
The President tells the Director to do it and to round-up Pong and her team.
Two CIA agents board the plane and shut the door and plant evidence all through the plane. The $10M wire confirmation, fake messages between Pong and Pedro, guns, vials of a toxin.
Inside a van and not far from the plane, two of David's team are recording the video and audio of every move the CIA is making inside the plane and are laughing their heads off as the CIA agents are planting evidence.
David team member 1 in the van “No, no, yes, that's an excellent place to hide the guns. Smile for us, as the CIA high five each other and laughing for placing the weapon in a great hiding place. At the same time, the CIA is rushing a warrant and is at the courthouse waiting for the Federal judge to sign off on it. Once they have the warrant signed, they rush it to the airport, and they have two new agents begin their search. They are going directly to where the other agents planted the evidence and don’t even pretend to look into different places.
The CIA director holds a press conference announcing they have just exercised a warrant to search the plane owned by Tom Wilson, who loaned or rented his plane to Pong and her team for conducting terrorism against the united states. The Director lays out all the evidence they "found" on the plane onto a table in the press conference. The cameras go into clicking and flashing frenzies.
“What these ruthless monsters under the leadership of Pong have perpetrated on our country, and he promises that based on the evidence we have, they will be in prison for life.”
Pong meets with everyone and feels they are next and assures everyone that all is ok and that it will be sorted out soon. She suggests that anyone who wants can leave and avoid being arrested for now. But do not resist at all. The one positive of being here is that there is a much less likely scenario where anyone is injured. Everyone decides to stay and be arrested together.
Pong advises them not to say a word to anyone without an attorney present. Nothing at all would be best, but that she understands they need to do what they feel is right.
Pong talks to the Queen and wants to know that if she asks for the evidence that the Queen will let her have it. The Queen tells her she can fix this, and Pong tells her not yet. Pong says thank you, my Queen, but I need to deal with these two myself. The Queen tells Pong she has everything ready for her any time she needs it.
Thank you, my Queen
Pong is having a tough time pulling the trigger bringing down the President, and then recalls what Zari told her about those who try to steal the island and that Zari told her to deal with them harshly. This is the second time the President has done this to he
r, and he is definitely getting in the way of Peace and Equality for All.
Pong calls David and asks him to do a press conference with the Queen and Edward.
Pong receives the video of the CIA agents planting the evidence and pulls copies of the messages of the President telling them to plant evidence and the CIA Director saying he has a packet all ready. She also includes the message telling the CIA director to do it.
Pong thinks about the many ways to fix the situation and to ensure the President and the CIA do not find another way to get her or her people.
Pong gathers up all her evidence and has two of the security team drive her to a hotel. Near the courtroom.
In the morning, she walks into the court by herself and has documents completed for filing slander and defamation of character against the President and the CIA director on behalf of herself and everyone on her teams. Each lawsuit is for $100 million.
At 9:00am sharp, Pong enters the courtroom and asks to see the Judge. The Judge smiles and asks her to come into his chambers with him.
The Judge says, "Well, Pong, been staying out of trouble, and they both laugh. Your honor, I am in a very tough spot and think I have a way out but just need to know something. If I file lawsuits here against the President and the CIA director, can they swoop in and take me away?
The Judge tells her that their power is mighty. Once they have the world thinking you are a terrorist and they have you in their grip, things get very tough even for you. But yes, if they have a warrant for your, they can arrest and take you even from here.
Pong, I saw how you handled yourself in court, do you have the goods on these bums? Very much so sir, enough to put them in jail for decades.
The Judge asks Pong, "are you looking for my opinion?"
Pong responds, “I am sir, I respect you a great deal.”
Well, they have your people, which I know is top on your list of concerns. You need to quash this for good. I would recommend you go public with everything you have while you still have it and have them removed from office if you can. They are probably here by now. Do you need to head out the back? No, but could I use your Wi-Fi before I turn "Pong" in... hehe?
