Jill (QWERTY): Colonel Sir, I pulled up a CCTV footage from the scene of the attack in Africa 8hrs ago and this man right there (sends the photo to the big screen) was spotted exiting the presidential villa exactly 7 minutes before the bomb went off. I did a face ID on him and guess what? 

He finger-danced on the keyboard of his PC and pronto! A profile pops up on the big screen…

Name: Quasem Hassan

Status: married (two wives)

Nationality: Mexican 

Ocupation: Arms dealer, Casino owner and a mafia boss.

Colonel Alex: hmmm… looks like a concrete lead. QUERTY, do you have a location on him?

Jill (QWERTY): errr… let’s see… **does a quick type** there! A train ticket to the airport was booked on his name yesterday. The train is scheduled to leave in 1hr time. Looks like he’s on the run… 

Colonel Alex: all right… listen up guys, Hassan is our new ALPHA, grab him in one piece lets squeeze out an Intel from him… come on boys let’s go catch that train! Sergeant Michele you’re with Team DELTA. Michelle? Michelle?

“Copy that sir! Tell the boys to meet me at the train station, I’m almost there”! I replied over the COMS… 

I had zoomed off in my Rover immediately QWERTY ID-ied Hassan’s possible location... This is the first concrete lead we’ve got on the mission since forever so I wasn’t going to sit around and wait for orders before I take the chase.

Colonel Alex: what the hell, Sergeant… don’t do anything stupid; team DELTA will be right behind you…

***************************************

Brakes! I skidded to a stop as I arrived at the train station; I looked at my wrist watch: exactly 3 minutes before the train takes off, not enough time to grab Hassan so I have to be on that train at least…

Excuse me, sorry, sorry, excuse me, excuse me, sorry, excuse me… I was bumping into people as i sneaked through the crowd then into the train…

I started scanning through the passengers in search of Hassan but unfortunately for me, he made me first; I was surrounded by three huge guys before I even realised it.

"Oh no… where on the map is Team DELTA???" I muttered under my breath… 

“Hey boys, I’m not here for you. Just allow me to take my ALPHA and I’ll be on my merry way. I give you my word; I’ll not hurt any you”. I said…

They stared at each other and then burst into laughter…  

Me (Michelle): All right then, I’ll take that as a “NO”. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

I quickly punched one of them on the jaw while he was still exposing his brown 32 in laughter; I literally knocked out blood mixed with saliva from his mouth. He was lucky he didn’t lose any tooth… 

“One down, two to go”… I acrobatically kicked the other two men behind me so that they crashed into the other passengers in the train… then I went after Hassan; he had bailed into the next coach of the train when I was handling the boys…

Just then I bumped into DELTA 1. “Looking for someone”? He asked. He had arrived and rounded up Hassan, ready for extraction. 

DELTA 1: We found him sneaking around, trying to jump off the train… 

“What took you so long? Too slow even with the HELO”… I replied as I breathe heavily in relief…

DELTA 1: oh, you mean “thank you”? Well, you’re welcome, Michelle. You owe me a beer tho…

ME (Michelle): Tsk… you wish… I know a “booty call” when I see one…

We grabbed Hassan and headed for the EXFIL; a HELO hovering at the train level, outside…

“If you’re going to kill me, get it over and done with. I’m not afraid to die”… Hassan said as we fly back to the military base by HELO.

ME (Michelle): Oh, make no mistakes… there’s no “IF”. You’ll sure end up in a body bag but first you’ll tell us everything you know about Zaheed and whatever he’s up to… 

That name rings a bell. Yes?

Let’s start with what exactly is your deal. You just blew up a presidential villa in Africa huh, what’s coming next? Where else is going up in flames? 

Oh, less I forget; The President of Libya, Were you responsible for that too?

Where exactly is that scumbag, Zaheed. He should stop sending pawns like you and crawl out of hiding already…
