Devastating Secret™

Seeking Peace

"Are you crazy?" the German Chancellor asked as Noah paced the war room, "You launched a full-scale military assault!"

"He fired a missile into my airspace!" Noah defended, "This is why I hate politics, why do I even have to justify this to you people!"

"You're starting to sound like a dictator. Careful, Mr. President." The English Prime Minister warned.

"Did you consider the innocent souls that would be killed by your actions?" The French Prime minister asked.

"Yes, I did." Noah admitted, "Then I thought of the billions under my care. It was a no-brainer after that."

"Are American lives worth more than theirs?" The Chinese Ambassador questioned.

"Is yours?" Noah countered, "Right now, we're keeping this little pow-wow in our secure government facilities. Why don't you step outside with your soldiers and ask whose life is worth more? The lives of their family back home or that of the enemy and see who they choose."

"You're acting like a military dictator. Throwing bombs. This could start the third world war!"

"I'd wipe that puissant country off the map before that happens," Noah declared coldly.

"I agree with our American friend," The Russian President declared, "Protection of your people must always come first. I will support you in this."

"As will the Queen," The English Prime Minister declared, "And for the record, I am in no bunker and neither is the Royal family. We will meet this bully head on."

"Jolly good," Noah mocked in an English accent.

"That was atrocious and insulting," The English Prime Minister declared.

"I thought I did okay."

"Far from it!"

"Alright, thank you for your support anyway."

"What are your plans?" The Russian President asked.

"They're already underway."

"You didn't check with us? What about sea and airspace restrictions?" The Chinese Ambassador griped.

"You act as though I'm stupid." Noah stated, "You don't need it if you're already in the area."

"What do you mean?" The German Chancellor asked worriedly.

"I'm not one to hide in a bunker either," Noah said, and Vladimir laughed uproariously in understanding.

"I will see you there my friend!" He declared and ended his transmission.

Noah did the same to the other shocked leaders. Then asked the pilots, "ETA."

"Five minutes out."

"I want to be there when they drag his ass out."

"This is madness," Johnathon said, rising from his seat, "I never wanted to see another battlefield, but you seem to relish the task of being shot at! I should've told your wife about your little plans!"

"All that would accomplish is bringing her along. I don't need the distraction."

"I hope your plan works. Undermining the global security council is never a good thing."

"I just needed the reason to move and our good host provided it."

"Sir!" An airman called to Noah, "Bravo team leader is awaiting orders!"

"Has Alpha team reported in yet?"

"No, Sir!"

"Tell Bravo to hold and have Tango team move in."
