The Mission: Thirteen

Dillon and Yuki watched as the patrol boat moved away. He pointed skyward and the two ascended and broke the surface. "Where are they going?" asked Yuki, as she pulled the regulator out of her mouth, "To the trawler," answer Dillon. "Look," whispered Yuki, the raft's paddles, "We forgot them."...

The Mission: Twelve

They all sat in silence, only the lapping of the sea against the hull, broke the stillness. The trawler's navigator sat hunched over the radar, watching the beam make its continual circle on the screen. Dillon, Yuki, Kaz and Captain Tanaka sat on the open deck, watching and waiting. Dillon checked... Sign in to see full entry.

The Mission: Eleven

Sarah Kimble sat on the dirty wooden floor, leaning against the corrugated wall. Outside she could hear the night sounds of the camp; the cry of someone being beaten, the barking of the dogs, and the laughter of the guards. She had been wearing the same clothing for three days now and instintively... Sign in to see full entry.

The Mission: Ten

The 40 minute flight across the country to a small fishing village in the Niigata area, was smooth and quiet. Dillon studied the maps while Yuki looked on. The plane landed in a small airfield just south of the township, a car was waiting. The driver of the car, a burly ex-sumo wrestler, named only... Sign in to see full entry.

The Mission; Nine.

Dillon, still holding the rifle, asked, "Matt, we need to get as close to this beach as possible," he was pointing at the place on the map, "When can the fishing boat be ready to leave?" Matt looked at the map and nodded his head, "Yuki, the fishing boat ready to roll?" Yuki Suzuki nodded, "I've had... Sign in to see full entry.

Mission: Eight

Sarah woke early; the morning light was forcing the darkness from the sky. She stood and walked across to the window, high on the wall. On her toes she looked out into the compound. It was quiet only the sound of a rooster crowing from a far place, broke the early morning silence. She could see the... Sign in to see full entry.

The Mission: Seven

Sarah Kimble sat on the dirty wooden floor of the hut. The room was void of the comforts of home; there was only an old wooden table and chair, a bucket to use as a toilet and an old mattress that smelled of urine. High on the wall in the corner of the room was a small window, covered with... Sign in to see full entry.

Mission: Six

Yuki led Dillon out of the main terminal. It was a warm clear evening and the sun was low in the sky. She stopped at the edge of the sidewalk, Dillon came up beside her, "Are we taking a taxi?" he asked. "Something better, Mr. Newcombe." She waved her hand and a dark green Toyota Crown, with Dunbar... Sign in to see full entry.

The Mission: Five

Dulles International Airport in Washington D.C. was buzzing with people. It was early evening, Peter Dillon sat at a corner table in one of the airport's busy cafeterias. He watched the comings and goings of various airport personnel as he waited. Two steaming cups of coffee were placed on the... Sign in to see full entry.

The Mission Four

The Mitsui Building, in the center of Tokyo, is a towering construction of glass and steel. Yuki walked in the lobby area just as the heavens opened up and the rain fell. She crossed to the express elevators and rode up to the 37th floor, ostensibly watching the numbers flick off as the elevator... Sign in to see full entry.
