At the millitary base camp meeting where only high ranking officials are found .
INT:BIG HALL OFFICE SETTINGS WHERE
Discussion are being made on a recent attack by some milliants and how to strike back ..argument among officals … while the president claim them down…….
JAKE DANIELS {PRESIDENT} :
It is no news of the recent attack on our oil facilites along the coaster region of the country and also the killings and the lives that were lost both civilians and the millitary , so with your wealth of experience in your various fields how do we go about or anilate this menace from our system once and for all….
GEORGE MUSA{CHIEF OF AIR STAFF}:
With all due respect your excellency I believe these men have bitten more than they can chew lets face them fire for fire lets deal with them by paying them with their own coin …….
JACOBS NOSA{ MAJOR GENERAL}:
If I understand you clearly chief of air staff… paying them with their own coin means fire for fire… what about amnesty ? what about negociation which is an honorable way to solve issues like this..
KUNLE JONES{CHIEF OF NAVAL STAFF}:
They have bitten more than they can chew … imagine five of my lieutenant and ten of my mid ship man ,20 of my petty officer where ambushed while on a routine patrole in their boat only 10 out of 35 of them made it ashore and mr Nosa you are here talking about negociation … I think I should refresh your mind on the amnesty offer Mr president have offered but still they keep on attacking our men and destroying government facilities
YUSUF ISAH{AIR VICE MARSHAL}:
Since you guys are insisting we pay them with their own coin ….. are we sending the whole armed force to the coaster region ?
JACKSON ADESHINA {CHIEF OF DEFENCE STAFF}:
NO!!!!!! We can’t send in troops on broad day it will be like g******e and the united nations will charge us for war crime and crime againt humanity …..
JAKE DANIES{ PRESIDENT}:
Mr Adeshina is right…. so what is the way forward? How do we go about it because the more we keep quite the more lives and government facilities are been lost
SMITH MICHAELSON{REAR ADMIRAL}:
Why don’t we send some of our special troops , I mean some of our alpha team head during the night hour to carry out this mission ..
GEORGE MUSA{CHIEF OF AIR STAFF}:
That sounds great !!!! but under one condition …..
KUNLE JONES:
And what’s that if I may ask …………
GEORGE MUSA{CHIEF OF AIR STAFF}:
That they will not be traced back to us
ALINKO WILLIAMS{CHIEF OF ARMY STAFF}:
And how will that be possible?[turning to george]
GEORGE MUSA:
By sending a black Opps team to ambush and kill all membes of the alpha team and make it look like a setup plan
SMITH MICHAELSON:
That sounds rather unfair , how do you expect us to sign the death warrant of our own people
ALINKO WILLIAMS:
Musa you are out of your mind how do you expect me to send men to the field and Later send in a counter team to wipe them off
GEORGE MUSA:
Alinko you seems to forget so soon……
ALINKO WILLIAMS:
About what ???
GEORGE MUSA:
About 68’’
ALINKO WILLIAMS:
Hmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JACKSON ADESHINA:
I thought we decide that should be buried along side the bodies and it should not be raised ever again..
JAKE DANIELS:
That’s enough we should not bring up irrelevant issues or raise unnecessary dust ,drastic situations like this requires drastic measures even if it involves the lives of our comrades because this involves the future of our country and its citizens and more over , this is what the alpha team are born to do and remember they took an oath of allegience to sacrifice their lives when everthe need arises ……..
So in accordance to the idea of Rear Admiral Smith Michaelson and Chief of Air staff George Musa … An alpha team will be sent and afterwards a black opp team will be sent to eliminate the alpha team .
Chief of defence staff may I have the list of names of our alpha team , so as to pick seven of them for this mission
JACKSON ADESHINA:
Here you go...(handing a file) mr president names of compiled members of the alpha team around the country
JAKE DANIEL:
In this list are names of members selected randomly across the country the names are:
BRIGADIER GENERAL JAMES JOHNSON
AIR COMMODORE KAY USMAN
CAPTIAN JOHN TOBI
FLYING OFFICER JEREMY
LIEUTENANT ONOS OPAKO
LIEUTENANT TUNDE
SQUADRON LEADER EMEKA OBI
And they will be departing at 20:00hrsGMT on the 29th day of febuary and the black opps team will eliminate the alpha team will eliminate the alpha team immediately on completion of the mission at 22:00hrs GMT.... Here is a document to be signed backing up this agreement and two years from now all of us who signed this agreement will go and seek solace in a far country for ten year before coming back .. this is the price wee must pay for this action been taken today,after which any of you may contest for an executive position or even the presidency ..
***** the document was signed by all the officers***
Jake Daniel:
After signing ...chief of army staff send the signal call to all the seven member of the team
Alinko William:
With all due respect Mr president you don't expect me to sign the death warrant of my comrades ,friends and brothers in arms and still make the signal call for their death
George Musa( cuts in ..):
(In high tone)That's an insult to the office of His Excellency
Jake Daniel :
Alinko if not for our friendship and closeness all these years ..I would have charged you for incompetency and treason
Yusuf Isah:
Your Excellency ... Sir no need for that ( speaking in low tone) I will send the signal call to all the seven member of the team and also the black opps team..
