South of Yung-ni North Korean Coast

Dawson’s visor cleared the water but he remained submerged. He slowly scanned from left to right, confirming what Control had already said. They were clear. Two different satellites were providing coverage and drones had been deployed from the submarine used to insert them just offshore. He pushed to his feet, exposing himself to anyone who might be monitoring the shore, but no one opened fire, no one shouted a warning.

And Control remained silent in his ear.

He advanced forward as the others emerged from the water behind him. He rushed across the rocky beach toward the tree line then quickly stripped out of his wet gear as the other five handpicked for the mission joined him. Red and the other half of the team remained on board the sub in case they needed to be inserted later, but if they were, it meant something had gone horribly wrong.

He checked his gear and weapons as the others hid their wet gear, then activated his comms. “Control, Bravo Zero-One. We’re secure at point Alpha, proceeding to point Bravo, over.”

“Copy that, Zero-One. Still no indication they’ve detected you, over.”

“Copy that, Control. Zero-One, out.” He turned to the others. “Let’s get a wiggle on, ladies. I want to be out of here as soon as possible with only the holes I arrived here with.”

Niner grinned. “Don’t you worry, BD. When we’re back on the sub, I’ll check everyone over to make sure your loved ones aren’t in for any surprises.”

Atlas groaned as they pushed through the trees. “The sad thing is that I don’t think he’s joking.”

“Don’t you worry, big guy. I’ll check you over twice just so you don’t get jealous.”

Atlas shoved Niner into a tree, resulting in snickers.

Dawson hissed at them. “Pipe down! The forest could have ears.”

Everyone zipped their mouth shut and they continued forward, Dawson’s tactical computer guiding them to point Bravo where they had been assured their special equipment was waiting undiscovered by the North Koreans. In less than ten minutes, they were at the small clearing.

“There!” said Atlas, pointing at the trees ahead where several parachute canopies were caught in the branches. In plain sight. The only reason the computer-guided drop hadn’t been discovered was that nobody apparently patrolled this area.

Dawson indicated for Atlas, Niner, Jagger, and Spock to establish a perimeter while he and Jimmy pulled down the chutes.

“Control, Zero-One, we’re at point Bravo. Confirm area is secure, over.”

“Affirmative, Zero-One. We show no hostiles in your area. Just a reminder, you have a road less than a klick from your location that for the moment is clear.”

“Copy that, Control. Zero-One, out.” He turned to the others. “Atlas, Niner, give us a hand. Spock and Jagger, maintain watch.”

Atlas emerged from the trees with Niner, and the four of them set to work on uncrating then assembling their special delivery—six electric motorcycles, whisper-quiet with run-flat tires and bullet-resistant glass and casings. Both on and off-road capable. These would hopefully get them to where they needed to be on time, then out of any situation they might create.
