Part 8
An undisclosed location, United Kingdom
Buckingham received more Intel on the Unit while on his way to the briefing room he stood still in shock and composed himself before going in to brief his team. He briefly looked at Hans Muller and made a mental note to take him to one side after the meeting. “Right we have received a green light to go into San Riveraâ€, Buckingham said but before he continued Jones interrupted saying “Finally!†Buckingham quickly admonished him “That will do Jones settle downâ€, He waited for quiet before carrying on. “We will be backed up by Z Force with Space Force giving us orbital back up, Boffin and his Special team have developed a localised EMP device that will short out enemy equipment that should fry everything but equipment used by us!†He waited for any comments before carrying on “We will be equipped with devices on all our weapons and commo gear that will stop EMP field affecting us, we are due to fly out at 0600 in the morning so get your gear together and sack out! Team dismissed!â€
Everyone got up but before Hans left Buckingham said “Quickfire a word please before you go?†Hans nodded and waited behind both Beaver and Chopper looked at each other curious as to what was going on but said nothing on the way out. Jones however said “You on detention eh Fritz?†Stalker just shook his head swiped Jones playfully over his head and said laughing “There is always one Jones, and it’s usually you!†Buckingham looking deadpan at Hans when they were finally alone told Hans how he had a list of personnel from the ill fated unit.†I am afraid there is bad news your younger brother Kurt is listed and there has been no word from him or anyone he was operating with, we have to be prepared for the worst†Hans looked dismayed but said “If that verdammt Baron has done anything to my brother there will be hell to pay I swear to you Herr Hauptmann!†With that he saluted Eagle and left the room.
Chalk Two
Inman was trying to reach base to no avail his men were badly wounded and dehydrated from lack of water and he needed to evac his casualties and get supplies. His medics were running out of blood packs and other supplies to suture wounds. Inman tried again to reach other Chalks but got nothing other than static. The sun was coming up high over Inman’s men most tried to shelter from the heat. Suddenly Malcolm called out “Inman! Ed! I see movement looks like Shadows a type I have never seen before!†Inman crawled over to Malcolm’s position and saw men in Red jumpsuits carrying what looked like fuel tanks and were toting flamethrowers. Inman quickly marshalled together a fire team and said “Aim for the tanks on those bastard’s backs!†His men nodded eagerly rapid firing at the Red Shadows who stopped and aimed their flamethrowers at the building Chalk Two was occupying. The squad leader reported “I am held down by the remainder of the mercs I am requesting back-up!†A few of the Red Torches had been hit, minutes later black suited Red Shadows with laser rifles bolstered their numbers and fired indiscriminately at Chalk Two. Inman threw grenades down at his enemy with the help of Bill, Paul and Andy who everyone called Scooby. After awhile it looked like Inman was winning and there would be hope but the Red Shadows mounted an escalade fanatically shouting their mantra of Blood! Blood for the Baron! The Red Torches fired their flamethrowers when they got to the top of the building then withdrew fire axes and joined in close combat. Inman took out his combat knife and rallied the men that could stand and fight the ensuing combat was bloody. Local militia had also been marshalled to help the Red Shadows eventually the tide turned Inman was able to take down six men before he was pinned to a wall. Scooby although gouged in his eye carried on fighting regardless until he was garrotted. Bill and Paul had been immolated in flames the smell of their charred bodies turning their comrades nauseous. Inman was made to watch as his wounded men were beaten and killed one by one, Malcolm and Paul although medics put up a fight without breaking their Hippocratic Oath but were beaten and thrown off the building. Their broken bodies were looted by local people. The Red Shadow squad leader approached Inman and held him by his lower jaw then punched him hard in the gut. Ed doubled over but was pinned back by Red Shadows he snarled defiantly “Let me go! Let me fight honourably for god’s sake!†The Shadows laughed and held him tighter. The leader took off his helmet and ruffled his sweat streaked hair when he looked at Inman he said “Hello Ed so pleased to see you again!†Inman stopped struggling, coughed and said in shock “Muller?â€
The Unit’s Base
The Unit’s base several hours ago was alive with radio calls from the different Chalks requesting back-up, evac and supplies but no one answered them. The Base leader had assembled his men to meet a gunship on the makeshift helipad. The Gunship touched down whirling dust in the air; the doors slid open disgorging several troops who quickly lined up and then the “Minister†stepped out. The “Minister†flickered and shimmered in the desert haze then finally stood revealed as Zartan, Master of disguise! He motioned to the Base leader and said†Get your men into their proper uniforms and follow me we are to rendezvous with an agent within the city!â€
Chalk Two
Muller laughed at Inman’s astonishment and said “Yes it is me Kurt Muller but now I go by the name Black Scarab! I live to serve the Baron and his cause! Blood! Blood for the Baron!†His men echoed the same mantra Blood! Blood for the Baron! He carried on “Now what to do with you Ed? Hmm?†Black Scarab motioned up and down dramatically. Inman shouted “You f*cking traitor after everything we have been through, not just here but other jobs and you are a scum sucking traitor I will kill you if I get my hands on you!!!!†Kurt whirled round with a dagger held at blade point and threw it at Inman’s stomach. Inman gasped and started hyperventilating the colour going out of his face. Muller stepped up and twisted the knife crossways opening up Ed’s stomach spilling his guts out. “Then you won’t get the chance will you?†Muller laughed and radioed Headquarters “You can tell the Master the last of these disgusting Mercs are dealt with. Blood! Blood for the Baron!†He motioned his men to wipe out the last vestiges of his past with The Unit. The screams lingered in the air as the remnants of Chalk Two were killed.
