[QUOTE="talien, post: 4420908, member: 3285"] [b]Operation Countdown: Conclusion[/b] The Marines picked them up and transported Hammer, Archive, Caprice, and Saladin back to a nearby base. “There’s one thing I want to ask you,” said Hammer in Arabic. The Marines exchanged glances but said nothing. Saladin leaned forward, curious. “Yes?” “Who is the Karotechia?” Saladin’s features went blank. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He leaned back into his seat and refused to answer any questions after that. When they reached the base, Saladin was packed into a truck in handcuffs. It drove out of sight. Their cistrons beeped. Hammer picked it up. “Mission accomplished,” he said. “Trying to be funny?” asked Sprague. “I thought I told you to bring him back ALIVE.” “But we—“ “It’s unfortunate that Saladin died in the explosion,” said Sprague with a straight face. “But then I shouldn’t expect much from a team that caused an international incident.” Sprague shook his head. “Fortunately, somebody above me likes you, so you won’t be disavowed. This time.” The cistrons winked out. “What the hell?” Caprice grumbled. “Did he have a stroke or something?” Archive shook his head. “I think that was code for never-speak-of-this-again.” Hammer nodded. “Far as we’re concerned, Saladin died in the explosion, just as he said. That’s what I’ll put in my report.” “So we went through all that trouble to capture this guy, and now we’re going to pretend we never caught him?” Caprice kicked a nearby garbage can. “This job sucks, man.” “Who knows?” Hammer shrugged. “Saladin may well wish he was dead by the time Majestic-12 is done with him. But I know one thing for sure – he knows more about this Karotechia group than he’s letting on.” “Great,” said Archive. “Can we go home now?” [/QUOTE]
