Juggernauts

CHAPTER 17: Preparations

The next morning, the team began loading up their gear to be transported, spending lots of time in the corridor between the hanger garage area, and the armory.

"What are you thinking this time sir?" Alex asked as he gestured towards all the guns hanging on the walls.

Tom folded his arms and scanned the firearms. "416 with PEQ box, suppressor, and an dot sight. and give me a USP .45 with box suppressor." Tom looked over to Alex. "Trying to mix it up every now and then." He shrugged and grinned. 

Alex smiled. "Yes sir." He handed him the requested equipment and they made their way to the hanger.

"taking the Pavelow all the way to Germany sir?" Alex asked.

"Naw, shes gonna be the middle girl. Just taking us to the nearest air force base and then we take a C-130 out there. should be about 15 hours of flight." 

Tom picked up a large crate and hoisted it into the cargo hold of the helicopter, almost effortlessly. 

"Now you're just showing off sir." Alex laughed.

"Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful Al." he laughed back.

Johnson and Ella walked past Tom and Alex to take their seats on the helicopter. "Going stealthy this time boss?" Johnson said as he pointed to the suppressed weapons slung around Tom's body. 

"Yeah, gonna make sure those Krauts don't here me coming." Tom laughed.

Everyone loaded up, strapped in, and rode their way to an abandoned Air force base in the deserts of Nevada.

From there, they unloaded their gear from their helicopter and into the large belly of a C-130 cargo plane. After about an hour or so of loading and unloading, they finally were able to rest on their long flight over the ocean. 

While in flight, Tom drifted off to sleep. In his dreams he could see the face of the young German whose neck he broke only a few days ago. Along with the sight of him gunning down a wounded soldier crawling to safety. His mind raced as he shifted in his sleep and slightly jolted a few times. Before he woke, he saw a shadowy figure with a knife raise it's arm and stab down at him. 

His eyes opened to find himself still in his seat as the pilot made and announcement. 

"We will be making our decent soon, prepare for landing in about 20 minutes."

Tom rubbed his brow as he looked around to see everyone sleeping in their seats. He looked down to see Ella's head resting on his right shoulder and her hand in his. He smiled as he gently woke her and the rest of his team.
