Chapter Twenty Three

We left the Marshalls for the Escort Mission very early in the morning on a helicopter, having General Gal as the pilot on board. We were heavily equipped and on our flak jackets with many pockets containing grenades, bullets and tactical knives.

I had to carry a backpack for my second, personal mission.

I sat, on the copter's landing rail with Sharpe carrying our guns. I was never afraid of heights but depth. Sharpe seemed to be afraid of nothing. She is a one tough person, reminds me of someone I once knew, Asher.

I and Mercury were assigned to stand with the President during his few minutes speech.

The Ashock Leyland driver and his company also went to were they were asked to position. Moses is a skilled driver and he was to be trusted.

The eight of us had our code for communication, unit one to four, each unit with two Soldiers also in the code, rain and shine.

* Rain. Shine. Units

* Arms. Gal. 1

* Mercury. Helion. 2

* Janet.
