Chapter 20

"Italics" = Radio from another plane or from the ground.

"This is commander Williams of the royal Canadian air force to Russian convoy, do you copy?" Canada asked over the radio.

"Da, we copy. What do you want?" Came a crackly rough voice.

"You are entering Canadian airspace without permission. I advise you turn back." Matthew said keeping a close eye on the aircraft in front of him.

"We have permission." The Russian man said. "From our government. That's all that matters."

"You do not have permission from the Canadian government." Canada said. "Turn back or we will be forced to engage. You have five minutes."

There was no response from the Russians. "Zorro to Tall Poppy. What's our plan of attack?" Emily asked.

"Matthew, you can't really be thinking of attacking! Even if they're commies." Alfred mumbled.

"Go after the bombers first. If we're lucky the fighters will buzz off." Matthew said answering Emily. He turned his attention to America. "Alfred you know I hate fighting unless I have to. I really don't want to, but if it is to protect my people I will."

"I understand, but what if you get caught? I don't want to see my baby brother hurt." Alfred said trying to convince him to turn back.

"I doubt I'll get caught. Most countries don't even remember or see me. Even if I did get caught, what would they do?" Matthew shrugged starting to ready his weapons. "There's not much they can do. By the way, I'm older Alfie."

"Whatever." He grumbled. "I can't argue with that! Let's kick some commie ass!"

"Not for another three minutes and twenty three seconds." Matthew said. "Are you bi-polar?"

"Does it matter if we're a couple of seconds early?" America asked ignoring the Canadians question.

"Yes. I always keep my word." Canada said.

"Where are you even timing this?" Alfred wondered out loud.

"On my phone." Matthew answered.

"Dude! Don't text and drive! You're breaking your own law!" Alfred laughed. The American wasn't concerned about crashing, he just wanted to hear his brother’s response and kill some time.

"First of all, I'm flying, not driving and second, I'm not texting, I'm timing." Matthew groaned rolling his eyes. He turned his attention back to the planes. "This is your two minute warning." He announced over the radio. It was also the signal for Zorro and Tiggy to ready their weapons.

The Russian formation started to dip closer to the ground and turned further south. Matthew ran possible situations in his head of where the Russians could be going. The biggest and closest town was Iqaluit, but the convoy could have enough fuel to reach Vancouver or maybe even Washington if they had extra fuel onboard.

"Air Head to Tall Poppy, those planes are getting a little too close for comfort." The air boss said.

"Yes sir, I know. Attacking in less than one minute." Canada answered. "Tall Poppy to Zorro and Tiggy, use guns first and give a couple of warning bursts, then hit the bombers if they don't respond."

"Yes sir." Replied the two pilots. Matthew watched the seconds quickly tick down and the Russians continued in their path. Canada glanced back at his phone. There was only ten seconds left.

"Ten, nine,” The Canadian counted down. "Three, two, one. Engage."

Matthew moved to the right and gained some altitude. Zorro pulled up beside him and started to fire close to the bomber. Canada did the same. Tiggy was doing the same to the other bomber but, none of the Russians changed course.
