"This is the first time in over a decade that we have the opportunity to nail Giovanni De Luca with evidence too big to destroy!!! Shipment worth 20 million dollars will be touching docks in the next three hours–" Detective Santos said to the team that was to carry out the mission.

"What is the shipment??!" One guy said calmly.

"Weapons!!! We have reasons to believe that the Italian Mafia runs an illegal military training program that turn it's people to highly trained soldiers!!!" Detective Santos explained lightly.

"They aren't better than us!!" A lady said calmly.

"No but they are dangerous!!! Whether we like it or not we will always have a watch over our head!!! We have a mission and we deliver as per the law states!!! Them?... It's bodies they count, they don't have any law bordering them from their mission... They execute and leave no witness!!! They supplied financial aid to the war in the middle east!!! We have reasons to believe that they are the ones behind the ambush that killed the Senator and two Congress!!!" Detective Santos said and the room went silent as they recalled from their own perspective how ruthless the attack was sending chills up each of their spines.

"Jesus Christ!!!" Another gentleman said in silent realization.

"Now do you see why this mission is important!!! We will not get another opportunity to nail this son of a bitch, this is rare one so we must jump on it!!!" Detective Santos said before the superior took over.

"Alright people team will be Alpha1, 2 and 3!! Alpha 1 will set up sniper range... You will be our eyes and will inform us when Giovanni De Luca or Matteo Perez is on site... Code name for Giovanni will be eagle and Matteo is Drago!!! Memorize this code for calling will be Panda!!! Only when Panda is called then Alpha 3 will ambush on ground if we are out numbered or if they have more muscle Alpha 2 will come in for assist and rescue!!! Understood!!!" The senior incharge of the operation said.

"Understood!!!" They all replied before being dismissed to prepare to go. When they were all done they went to the docks where they took their positions. They waited in silence as they observed containers being dropped off but minutes turned to hours and it was dark with still no sign of The Italian mafia.

"Are you sure this is the right place??" The officer in charge of the mission said irritated.

"My informant said it was here!!!" Detective Santos said rubbing the bridge of his nose.

"Then maybe it's the wrong date!!!"

"Fuck!!!!"

"Or maybe they changed locations!!!"

"For such a large shipment they can't change the locations that fast!!!"

"Or maybe you're informant sold us out!!!"

"She knows what's at risk!!! She wouldn't date!!!!"

"Or maybe she's dead!!!" He said coldly and Detective Santos froze suddenly gunshots were heard.

"Alpha 1 do you copy!!! Find the shooters!!!" The mission commander said to the coms but they were unresponsive.

"Alpha 1!!! Do you copy??!!!" The commander repeated but there was still no response.

"Alpha 2 you're up!!! Alpha 1 is down!!!" The commander said to the walkie talkie.

"Yes sir–" A loud explosion was heard as alarms of cars near went off.

"Alpha 2 do you copy!!!!"

"Yes sir but Alpha 3 is down!!!!"

"Jesus Christ!!!"

"Are there any chances of survival??"

"No sir RPG!!!"

"Shit!!!!!!"

"Sir??!!"

"What is it??"

"The Eagle has landed!!!" Someone said from the walkie talkie and they froze.
"Sir, I repeat... The Eagle has landed!!! How do we proceed!!!"

"Abort!!!" The commander said calmly.

"What??!!!!" Detective Santos said in disbelief.

"We can take him out here!!!!" Someone from the walkie talkie said.

"I said ABORT!!! THAT'S A FUCKING ORDER!!!!" The commander said furiously as Detective Santos stared at him in disbelief.

"Yes sir!!!"

"With all due respect Sir you are making a mistake!!!" Detective Santos said coldly.

"Really now!!! With all my experience I am now the one making mistakes?!!!! You're trying to show me how to conduct my missions???"

"No sir but you have made a mistake!!!"

"Tell me detective, what mistake do you think I have made!!!"

"Letting Giovanni go!!!"

"How is that a mistake???"

"He knows that we are onto him now!!! It will be more difficult to trap him!!!" Detective Santos and the commander rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"That's my problem with you!!!"

"Excuse me sir???"

"You heard me detective!!!"

"All I want is to make sure that this nan hurts no one else!!!!"

"Well, INCASE YOU HAVEN'T FUCKING NOTICED... I HAVE DEAD SOLDIERS!!!! Tell me detective will you be the one to tell their children why they won't be coming back ever again?? To explain to them why they have no body to bury??? All this because of your obsession in capturing De Luca which has lead to a massacre of my best team so fuck you and your fucking plan–"

"But sir they said they had a clean shot!!!"

"Are you dumb??? What do I have to spell it out to you like a fucking three year old??? The sniper team is gone, meaning they have visual!!! Don't you think they will notice when someone tries to kill their boss!!! Assuming they are successful, do you think that they will leave that place alive??? Hmmm???"

"No sir!!!!"

"Is one man worth my whole team??!!"

"He will kill thousands–"

"Check your information then we can talk when I don't have dead soldiers thanks to you!!!" He said coldly before storming out of the overseeing room and Detective Santos shut his eyes frustratedly punching a fist to the wall.

He knew that now things would be difficult and it would be impossible to get such an opportunity again. Even after all the effort he put in he was still a step ahead of him and it frustrated.

"Back to square one!!!" He whispered to himself silently
