CHAPTER 3

All the teams were using the same plan of attack, and at precisely 1700 the four-man sniper teams shot the sentries, and moved in to plant their charges.

JD’s team was in New Mexico, and when they finished planting the C4, and programming the time-delayed detonators, JD ordered, “All right, men, let’s mount up.

“Slide over, I’m going to drive,” JD instructed.

JD was really pushing it, and as the SUV roared down the narrow two-lane road, his mind flashed back to his days of driving for Rex Allen, and he wished he’d gotten to see him one last time before he’d been murdered.

“WHAT’S GOING ON with the power?” General Sung asked.

“At first we thought it was just a power failure,” Major Ma explained. “Until a hacker posted a claim from some militia group taking credit for it. They’ve challenged the American public to stand with them to drive the Chinese forces from American soil.”

“The fools! Find out who did it, and kill them all.”

THE NEXT DAY, JD was sitting with William Sheldon, watching the six o’clock news, when they broke in with a news bulletin.

“We’re now taking you live to the Phoenix area, where rioting has broken out. This is Harry Fossey, reporting live from the Channel 14 news copter. We’re approaching the scene of the riot, and the smoke you’re seeing is from a combination of burning buildings, and vehicles.”

Harry paused to listen to a new message on his headset. “We’re now going to Sally Prentice, on location in the Channel 14 news van.”

“This is Sally Prentice, reporting live from the Intersection of Grand Avenue and West Glendale Avenue. Sir, can I have your name and a description of what you saw?”

“I’m Hank Skinner, and I’ll go you one better, I’ve got a video of it.”

“Billy, could you upload this to your laptop so we can show it to the viewers?” Sally requested.

“Sure, boss, give me just a minute.”

“While Billy is doing that, would you recount what we’re about to see?”

“Sure. I was standing here watching the demonstration, when the UN troops forced one of the low riders in the parade to stop.”

“So they were causing issues?”

“Not really. They were honking their horns, and yelling, but they weren’t causing any problems.”

“I’ve got the video,” the video tech interrupted.

“Thank you, and now we’ll show what just took place.”

As the low-resolution video played out, the viewers could see the first cars roll by. Even though the temperature had again soared to 115, and most of the city was still without electricity, the mood of the participants seemed lighthearted. When the first of the gang members’ convertibles passed by, one of the Chinese soldiers stepped in front of it. They could see that he was yelling something, but they couldn’t make it out. When he started pounding on the hood, one of the men shot him in the face. Mortally wounded, the soldier fell to the pavement. The next thing they heard was the Chinese commander yell, “Kill those animals.
