The Mission; Fifty-Three

Baker settled into the suite. He unpacked a little and pulling a small bottle of white wine from the bar fridge, stared out the window over the darkened city. He smiled to himself and sipped at the wine. For twenty minutes he stood staring into the night, thinking and planning his next move. He... Sign in to see full entry.

The Mission; Fifty-Two

Dillon and Yuki sat in the comfortable seats of the Lear. There were no other people on board, save a flight crew of three. From the window; Yuki looked down into the blackness of the night - below somewhere, she knew was the vast Pacific Ocean. Dillon was checking his gear - he had bought the same...

The Mission; Fifty-One

Baker sat in the small waiting room. He thumbed through an in-flight magazine he had taken off the plane. There were three or four other people sitting quietly - the room as silent. A man clad in overalls with the words "Airport Cleaning Staff" stenciled on the back, made his way into the room. He... Sign in to see full entry.

The Mission; Fifty

The flight from Ottawa was uneventful and the plane touched down at 11:00pm - some two hours later. Baker stared out of the small window, watching the aircraft move toward the terminal. He watched as airport staff came out to meet the plane. "Ladies and Gentlemen, we have arrived at Iceland's... Sign in to see full entry.

The Mission; Forty-Nine

General William Baker drove for around four hours. He passed through sleepy country town after sleepy country town. A huge sign on the highway had given him a choice, head a little further south to Toronto or north to the capital of Ottawa. He chose the capital. His plan was to reach Ottawa by late...

The Mission; Forty-Eight

The trawler made its final turn for the early morning harbor. Kan stood on the aft-deck staring out to sea in deep thought. "Regrets?" a voice said behind. He turned to see Dillon moving up beside him. "A little, I guess," Kan answered, turning back to look at the vast ocean. "Family?" Dillon asked,... Sign in to see full entry.

The Mission Forty-Seven

It was another two hours when in the early morning light, the coastline of Niigata, Japan loomed in the distance. Dillon and Yuki were sleeping on the open deck. Songy, Kim, Pol, Kan and Sarah sat quietly on the fore-deck watching the end of a long adventure draw near. Captain Tanaka stood in the... Sign in to see full entry.

The Mission Forty-Six

The patrol boat began to turn on a giant arch as it made for the trawler. On the fore-deck were three of four sailors sporting small machine guns. There were also three men positioned on the one heavy deck gun. A shell ripped across the bow of the trawler and exploded in the cold sea. "Keep going!"... Sign in to see full entry.

The Mission Forty-Five

The trawler surged through the ocean, behind was the only debris from the patrol boat floating on the surface of the sea. The two dead crew were taken to the bow and covered with a tarp. Songy, Sarah and Pol came up from below decks, "Everyone OK?" asked Sarah staring at the bullets holes across the...

The Mission Forty-Four

The patrol boat was making directly for the trawler, Dillon and everyone else, lay in various positions around the boat waiting for the action to begin. The helmsman stayed at the wheel, as did the navigator remain in his position. Captain Tanaka had ordered the wheelhouse secured. Metal sheets were... Sign in to see full entry.
