Is This The End? - Completed

Party In The Desert

Rocky had to admit this boat had everything he could possibly want. Even Nero was impressed, He had pulled up the full radar array which showed a 100 mile radius. If anything came close they were able to identify the target. He had already verified the weather as all clear. He was plotting the best approach and staging point. About 100 miles from the coast Rocky pulled to a stop and let the boat drift.

"Ok guys this is it. From here on in they may have the ability to spot us coming" Rocky said "Everyone keeps their body armor on until this is over."

"You got it Ghost" replied the guys donning their armor. Even Nero was wearing a pistol, he planned on not leaving the boat but Rocky had insisted that he wear the armor and be ready. Rocky, Daniel and Lyons began planning their assault of the compound. They decided to wait until midnight to move in and set up. Daniel explained the best time to hit the place would be around 4 am "It's when the guards are at their weakest" Daniel explained "They're tired and probably been watching for several hours, we've given them plenty of time to assume we aren't coming and they get lax in their judgement." "ok, it's decided" said Rocky "We move in and observe until 4, Lyons I want you to find a good place to observe from and if you see Humdinger Drop him. I really want to be the one but don't let an opportunity pass."

A little before midnight Nero brought the boat about 300 yards from the shore and slowed down as they passed. The guys slipped over the seaward side and made their swim into the shore in the dark. The night vision goggles that they had found onboard were perfect. They could clearly see the shore and no one was moving. Nero had already headed back to sea and was about a mile off shore when he set anchor and began monitoring the area. About 12:30 the group made it to shore. Rocky watched for a while before coming out of the water. "Did they really forget about the beach?' thought Rocky. He made his way to a line of brush and waved for the guys to join him. As they guys made it to the brush they saw the approach of headlights and heard the sound of an engine. A jeep with three guys in it was driving along the ridge over the ocean they stopped and Rocky observed them as they seemed to look without anything more than binoculars. "Wow they really are more amateur than I expected" said Rocky "Hey, you get what you pay for" said Daniel. "Ok guys get to your positions and watch your fields of fire, we don't want to hit each other" said Rocky "I'll try to make for the main compound if I can." "Be safe Ghost" said Lyons. "You too" said Rocky. They split and made their way to their predetermined positions.

"Ok Nero, we're in place" said Rocky into his headset. "Ok guys I got no boat traffic and I'm not really seeing a bunch of foot traffic" replied Nero ' I see two roving patrols on the perimeter but not much else." "Ok guys it's 2:30" said Rocky "Let's just see what's going on for a while. Unless something changes we hold for 4 am"

"Those cowards, I guess they didn't care enough about John to sent a rescue party, not that it will help anymore." said Humdinger. He picked up the radio "Somebody give me a report." "Commander Alpha here, nothing to report around the compound." "Commander Bravo, nothing on the beach front." "Commander Charlie, nothing on the road into the compound." "Received, I guess they figured I wasn't worth it." Humdinger got up and stretched, he looked at his watch 2am "I'm tired of the crap, I'm going to bed."

Rocky had watched as the patrols moved around. It was obvious that they were mercenaries by the equipment and military style movements they made. But they had forgot the most important part, they weren't varying their patrols, they were all exactly timable and therefore easy to judge.

"Nero, I've got 15 minutes until 4am. I'm in position are you ready?" asked Rocky. "I'm good and have you guys on GPS. I wish we had some of that technology that let us track the bad guys." answered Nero. "Ready when you are" said Daniel. "I'm found a spot where I have full view of the compound. I'm locked and loaded, I'll pick off any threats I see." said Lyons. "Ok, wait for me to get to compound, then unleash hell." "You got it Ghost" said both the guys.
