It was just after dawn, the sun licking the waves. Martinez studied the bay from his sniper spot on a huge water tower under a cloudless sky. It looks like a billion diamonds in the water, he thought as he brought his rifle up. He used his high-powered scope to view two vessels steaming toward his island refuge.

He keyed the mike on his radio: “Two tug boats, fairly large, are coming across the bay from Fisherman’s Wharf sir. Looks to be a lot of gang bangers on board, over.”

“Roger that Martinez,” Meara answered, “let me know if they change course, over. Barnes, come in?

“Go for Barnes.”

“Rick, they’re on the way. How are you settled, over?”

“Excellent sir, all four squads are in position. We have the docks and the northeast center entryways covered with the fifty cal, and the southeast gangway is covered with two M60s. Roving squad two is on the south end of the island, and nobody’s coming up the north end without serious climbing gear. Snipers are located throughout the island, and we’ve got claymores on the beach and gangways, over.”

“Outstanding Rick. Have one of the reserve squads cover the north end of the island just in case. Pick them off with small arms fire should they be stupid enough to try to climb it, over.”

“Will do sir. We’re looking for some payback for the school, and all hands are armed to the teeth. Barnes out.”

Meara put his radio down and looked out at the bay. He could just make out the tugs as they came directly at Alcatraz from San Francisco. He smiled, hoping his ruse would work. All of the information that had been transmitted between Rick and himself was bullshit. There were no squads, no heavy weaponry, and no mines. In reality, they had eight rifles and twenty three fighters on the island. If the opposition got a foothold, then his merry band of survivors was doomed. The kids were hidden very well, but how long could you keep scared kids a secret? They were in for the fight of their lives, and Meara knew it. He hoped that the bad guys would be listening to the information he had just broadcast. The boats didn’t seem to be turning, so hoping they believed him was a waste of time.

Fifteen minutes later, he called Martinez.

“Martinez, go to the secondary frequency.”

“Here sir.”

“Give me a SITREP.”

“They’ve split up, and one boat is hanging back. The other looks to be headed for the docks.”

“How are they doing for weapons?”

“Theirs are better sir. There’s a fifty cal on the bow of both boats, and the fuckers are actually cheering and waving around all sorts of weapons. I saw two M47 Dragons on the boat that’s hanging back, but I can’t make out much of the other attacker other than the fifty cal. She’ll be rounding the southern part of the island in five minutes. There’s a guy spotting from the wheelhouse with the biggest pair of binoculars I’ve ever seen, and I get out a lot”
