Chapter 50

Flashback – Ben – Beslan

Two days of this fucking bullshit and nothing has been done! I still hear the screams in the school! The fucking rat bastard terrorists are doing God knows what to the hostages. At least it's finally night and I can get the hell out of this sniper's hide and find the access door to the roof.

I grabbed the suppressed Dragonov SVD¹ and the three extra 10 round mags. That gave me a total of 38 rounds of 7.62x54R ammo along with the AK 74² and the three mags I took from Yuri. I was seriously under supplied with ammo for what I needed to do! Shit fighting a whole battle with 148 rounds of ammo didn't bode well for me because this wasn't a sniper mission, this was a 'kill all the fuckers and hope you live' mission which usually requires at least 500 rounds. Yeah, I was seriously fucked...

I slipped out of the sniper's hide and began the search for the access hatch...

Flashback – Jack – In Moscow

I woke up a little, recognized I was in the hospital but was too fucking sick to die! Oh my God whatever did my loving Masha give me ... Shit! I had to puke again ... She made me more sick than I had ever been in my whole life ... I'm so damn sleepy too...

Flashback – Masha – In Moscow

I hated to leave my Jack in the hospital because I know he would be very sick until I administered the antidote. However, I needed to resolve the situation with the Sedankinas and Jack would be an unplanned obstacle.

I sent many messages to Miranda but didn't yet have any replies; I hoped I would not have to travel to her location to rectify the situation.

Flashback – Major M – Undisclosed base

I was not happy at all about Sgt. Reynolds being sick and in the hospital. Via e-mail, I asked the ambassador to send someone to the hospital to check on the Sgt's condition.

Then I went back to preparing my report for the Old Man. I sure as hell hoped my assumptions weren't wrong! Otherwise...

Flashback – Ben – Beslan

I found the roof hatch, but as I began to slowly raise it, there was a hell of a noise! So, I bent over and spit on the hinges to lubricate them. I tried the hatch again and this time there was no loud noise but I was concerned they might have a guard waiting for me. I opened the hatch and...

Thank God no one was there! I slowly slipped into the school - now to find my way to the gym. I did find a window that overlooked the gym, pulled out my periscope and ... The mother fuckers! They had the gym packed with hostages so it was standing room only. There must have been over 1000 people in the gym! I also saw a wire running across the ceiling with what looked to be multiple IEDs hanging off it.

Some of the fucking terrorists were taking some of the girls and women to a different room. That must be where the fuckers are raping them.

I needed to do some more recon because I had no idea what the layout of the school was. I also wanted to get into that side room and take care of troubling matters...

Flashback – Ira – in Israel

My abductor commented, "It's about time you awakened. I have many questions for you and then there will be time for some fun and games"

That voice! I know that voice, it was ... Male offspring of a female saluki - our Mossad handler.

I heard him walk closer and I struggled but he had me restricted too tightly. Then I felt his hands start moving across my body, up to my face then he removed the gag. I spat, "When I extricate myself I will torture you to expiration so slowly you will believe it is your new career.

He laughed, "Those are big words for a small woman. So tell me, do you like it when Kostia makes love to you?"

I fought my restraints and corrected his misconception, "The Beast does not make love to us because it is forced!"
