Charley then signaled to Vance to take them out with his silenced Walther.
Vance slid his boonie hat off his head and let it hang by its draw string from his neck like a cowboy hat.
Jasper moved towards the front of the building and peered around the corner to make sure there was no one on the outside of the door and wouldn’t hear Vance take the shots. No one was there so he flashed a thumb up signal with his right hand.
Vance then peered inside, took aim, and fired two shots each to the just left of the center of the chest of each guard through the window shattering the glass in the process.
Charley, Vance, Jake, and Jasper walked briskly around the corner up the creaking stairs and opened the door. Aldridge and Gilliam both looked at them bewildered like they had been abducted by aliens.
As they walked in the door Vance put 2 more shots each in the foreheads of the guards. He kept count and knew he only had one round left so he instinctively changed magazines.
Jasper stayed outside crouched down outside the building entrance at the base of the stairs like a cat ready to pounce, surveying the front entrance of the camp.
Charley asked them both, “Can you walk?” As Jake took the key from one of the dead guards and unlocked the stocks.
“Yea, I think so,” Aldridge said.
“I gauran God damn tee you I will,” Gilliam said
Jake walked over to Aldridge and Gilliam and handed them the dead guards Ak’s and spare magazines and said, “Don’t fire unless it becomes necessary or you hear firing first.”
Jasper was watching the gate and unfortunately he wasn’t cognizant of the fact that the Crazy Greek’s and Will’s position made it as such that they couldn’t see the front entrance of the enlisted men’s building although they could clearly see Jasper’s position.
At that point a squad of 5 PROC guards came out of the enlisted men’s building and saw Jasper observing the front entrance to the camp and brought their AK’s to bear and 6 rounds of 7.62 millimeter rounds tore through Jasper’s left side, two of which pierced his heart and the other four rounds nearly cut his body in half above the waist. He was dead before he fell over to the ground.
While still in the interrogation building Charley said calmly aloud, “Oh shit.”
From his sniper position Will said, “Oh no!”
Seeing Jasper killed was more than the Crazy Greek could take. He let out a loud yell, “AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!” and pitched one grenade at the bamboo fence and one at the barbed wire. In four seconds there were 6 foot wide holes where the fence and barbed wire were.
Scores of PROC guards began to file out of their barracks and began to come into view of the Crazy Greek and Will.
The Crazy Greek stood up and out onto the edge of the swale and began to fire his M-60 into the PROC personnel who were now madly rushing around like ants sprayed with insecticide trying to organize themselves into some semblance of a fighting force.
While the Crazy Greek was firing; Will immediately threw off his camouflage netting, removed the silencer, changed magazines to the standard high velocity rounds, pulled the charging handle, and flipped the fire selector to “full auto” and saw the officers beginning to come out from their building into the fray and blew them all away. All the PROC troops were dropping like flies in the heat of the Mohave Desert.
By now, Charley, Jake, and Vance began exiting the interrogation building with Adlridge and Gilliam in tow and saw Jasper on the ground in a bloody heap.
They were filled with a terrible resolve.
0223 HRS
Charley said, “Those motherfuckers!” He grabbed the remote detonator off of Jasper’s hip pocket and hit the firing button which blew the antenna array and the back half of the officer’s building to bits. They were a little too close on that one and had to duck back around to the west side of the interrogation building to escape the flying debris caused by the blast. Charley dropped his CAR-15 by its sling so it was hanging on his side and pulled his great great grandfather’s bowie knife from his right boot and put it in his left hand and then drew his .45 with his right hand. He then placed his right hand over his left as he was taught at the secret Special Forces school in the Florida everglades.
Jake did the same with his K-Bar knife. Vance just pulled his Wing Chun Butterfly Knives and they both instinctively formed a skirmish line 4 meters apart to Charley’s right.
Charley said to Aldridge and Gilliam, “We appreciate any help you can provide to our 6 (rear), but if you don’t feel up to it, just stay the fuck out of the way.”
“We would be happy to oblige you son,” Aldridge said honestly and directly.
Gilliam nodded his agreement and they both pulled the charging handles on what were once the dead guard’s AK-47’s.
The Crazy Greek’s first belt of 100 rounds was now gone and instead of reloading he pulled the quick release lever on his sling and let the 60 drop to the ground. He pulled his K-Bar knife with his left hand and his .45 with his right. He looked at Will who nodded at him and let his CAR-15 drop to its side by the sling and pulled his K-Bar and .45 as well. They began to walk down the slightly elevated hill towards the 6 foot hole blown through the fence and barbed wire to join their team mates.
With absolute malice in his heart the Crazy Greek said plainly, “The four horsemen ride,” referring to the apocalyptic passage in the book of Revelations. Charley moved forward and around the corner to the east and Jake and Vance swang an oblique like a pendulum and they started moving thru the guards like Amish harvesting their fields with scythes.
They were alternating knife punctures and slices to the livers and kidneys and .45 shots to the jaw bones. It was intended that the wounds cause death but not instantaneously. They were meant to suffer first. If you shoot at the exact point where lower jaw is connected to the skull via the mandible joint the jaw falls free and only remains connected via the ligament and jaw muscle. If you shoot the subject straight through the side of the jaw and/or cheek; you can blow the subjects teeth out the other side of his face. Any one of these actions causes extreme pain and agony. This is why modern dentistry practices dictate the application of Novocain to the mandible joint called a “mandible block” when fillings or other dentistry work is being performed on the very rear molars of a patient.
At one point Charley let out an Apache war cry. With his butterfly knives Vance turned one guard into what looked like a slaughtered cow that was about to be carved into steaks.
When it was over they all met in the middle like a classic pincer movement and they were all covered in massive amounts of blood and dirt.
