I stood in the conference room with several other commanders, we were going over the manifest we brought back from the last mission.

" So, we have A'l-ad-Din's location from the manifest," said Commander Jack Ripley.

" Yes, he and his son, Omaira, are just south of that broadcasting building to the right," I said, pointing to the map.

" Okay, Brandon, take your squad and go pick him up," said Commander Ripley," You depart by 0700 tomarrow morning,"

" Roger," I said.

Outside of Baghdad, Iraq, 0850 PM

" Go check the other door," said An Iraqi soldier, another man walks across the walk way to an open area. Silenced gunshots can be heard, the man thumps to the ground.

" David, you there?" asked the man," Oh!" We run into the room, making sure it was empty.

" You guys, see if you can raise Hale on the radio and tell him where to meet us," I said to Private Rad Henderson.

" Gotcha," He said, Mike rolled his eyes obviously.

" Hale, reporting," said Captain John Hale, our pilot for the rest of our mission," There is reports of some radioactivity coming from the southern end of your present location, about twenty miles south and thirty clicks east."

" Got you, we will proceed with caution to the missle silos and randeveaus with A'l-ad-Din," I said, we headed south out of the area to an old farm.

" Don't shoot!" came a voice.

" Friendlies! Friendlies!" screamed another.

" Commander Petrov is my name," said a tall thick man.

" Lieutenant Commander Brandon Shields," I said," Since I outrank you, this will be a joint opps with me as field commander." There are still many debates as to why this rank even became instated, but until the UN decides to remove the rank, I will always outrank most of the men I come in contact with.

" Well, we have our snipers in place, if you want to make an assult on the building," said the Commander.

" Dtrain, you and Butlerski move the other men up east, we have it from here," I said, Mike, Rad, Petrov and his men following me into the building.

" Right room clear," said Rad.

" Basement clear," said Mike. I motioned to the attic, a loud gunshot went off.

" He killed himself," said Mike.

" I knew he was too much of a coward," said Petrov.

" Well, looks like we go after his son now," I said, walking out of the house.
