Elite Part 5

0330 hrs.
The Coast Guard dockyard at the end of 20th Street and runs parallel to the Beach Road on the other side of the city. It’s compound  was well lit up with men getting ready for their coming shift of works. At the next shift, three twenty metres craft with twenty five crews will leave for the seas while three will come in to rest, adding to the three more in the berth for the next oncmoing shift rotation. The number of personnel at the dockyards excluding the oncoming shift of twenty five men at this morning will be about a sixty with fifty of them asleep in their bunks. The ten guards awake consist of eight sentries and two controllers which are officers.
Platoon A in two trucks pulled up at the Guard House. The Guard House is manned by three sentries with a Petty Officer in charge. The first reaction of Petty Officer Gina was irritation at being called on to see some army officer at this hour. He walked out of the Guard House to see the three army personnel disembarking from the truck. He saw two of them walked past him to the Guard House; probably looking for a loo at this hour, and he was soon facing the Lieutenant. He never got to ask the Lieutenant anything as he was shot at point blank in the face.
So were his men.
The gate was opened and two men stood guard over it. The truck drove in after picking up the officer and went up to the Control Tower. Squad One and Two with Lieutenant Hansen dropped off as the truck passed it. Squad Three and Four dropped off as they passed the Billet Hall, and the truck stopped at the barracks where the rest of the men got off.
The same mode of operation was used and Platoon A soon took command of the Dockyard.
The two returning crafts with their sailors were taken care of with silenced kills.
Half the men was left here from Squad One to Five under the command of Sargeant Doyle; ex-marines. As usual, remote bombs were placed with claymores at strategic places.
Four GPMG 7.62mm taken from the crafts and two M47 Dragon’s were in place alongside a M30 Mortar. Squad 1-5 as they named themselves is ready for action.
At 0400 hrs the Dockyard was back to it usual quiet state except for a truck moving out.

0420 hrs.
The remaining Platoon A arrived at the Plaza Diamonde; the posh tallest structure in the city on start of 8th Street. Its only twenty levels high but it housed the three majors banks database and system, and also the offices of the five mining companies. The truck stopped at the entrance to the building, and the Lieutenant Hansen walked up to the glass entrance. He was met by the security guard standing across the glass partition. The lieutenant indicated to the guard to open the door, and he did as he was told. He is only $5 per hour of work and the coffin cost $400 to buy one. So its best to stay alive than dead.
The mercenaries went in and took command of the building including its control system on all the switches including alarm and lift controls. Squad Ten are a bunch of burglars and lock experts, and two of their member have started unlocking the alarm systems on the first target; the Central Island Bank. They completed the task in ten minutes and the one of them went into the Main Console. There he opened his back pack to reveal another tablet PC. In five minutes, he has logged into the system as the Administrator will access to all the files. He then programmed the tablet to send out data to the backup at the Central Police Station manned by Platoon B. While the program files are being downloaded, the IT hacker has detached his computer and moving to the fourth floor to access the Mining Banks system. Squad Ten will take only an hour to complete their tasks and then they will descend to the Ground Level.
Meanwhile Squad Six and Seven are planting explosives with remote switches on every level. They will also plant explosive booby traps on the floors. These demolitions experts are scheduled to complete their tasks in an hour. Squad Eight and Nine has positioned themselves on themselves on the next building further down the road which is the City Commuter Station. They have taken over the late 19th century design triple level building and they are placing explosives at the strategic areas. The train station serves as the main hub for the commuters to come in from all directions of the island. It also has a rail line which connect to the dockyard via a rail intersection.
By 0500 hrs all the squads except for Squad Six and Seven which remained at the building, are in the City Commuter Station and in their position. Lieutenant Hansen send an encoded message by his comms set to the General. So did Lieutenant Ziva on his own set.
Operation Wildcat Stage One is completed as schedule.
That was the time Colonel Mathew arrived at the official home of the Governor. Platoon C men are also deployed at the other five houses on the same fenced and guarded elite class community area on the start of Beach Road and intersection with the start of 1st Street. The place is named Island Elite, and the five large mansions here housed one Governor and four multi millionaires, of which all is sleeping soundly in their bedrooms at this hour.
Seventy six servants and fifteen security guards are locked in the garage of the Governor’s House. The cars were of course removed out onto the front porch as physical barriers on any attacks.


0559 hrs
Three souls with one passion; to live peacefully but only two sleeps while one is walking around the room holding a photo of his target.
