Black Water, the China Connection

Jason gathered his men and pulled out his uplink. He checked the GPS and compass settings and looked around. They had touched down on a high Plateau; he could make out the outline of a steep canyon ahead. “Looks like we head southwest, our target should be only a mile away.” He turned to Morales, “Let Capcom know we are down, and keep the com ready.” Jason pointed, “Tex, you’re on point, we follow single file. It is now 0430 hrs. Mountain Time, we got a few hours of darkness to get it done.” He looked at Derek, “you and me partner, remember, we need to take two of them alive if we can.”

Morales called it in and Capcom came back on the com., “Delta is go for target area, repeat Delta is go.”

Tex moved out in front and team moved out fast and inline, each man focused on the mission. They moved along the rugged rocky mountain terrain and came upon a group of small trees, their branches casting shadows from the moonlight as they passed by.
