Announcer: Just then a lost ATA pilot sets a brand-new Mosquito FB.VI down on the field.
Well DB, I think our problems are no more. This Mossie can carry everything we need, plus it has a very good turn of speed.
*screws suppressor onto .32 pocket-pistol*
Well, I'm clearing it as of right now... think you can handle it? Back "home", I actually have a demilled one--well, it's the boss's, but he owes me a lot of favors, too bad I'll never get to take it out again... *homesick look*
All through the past hour the three men huddled and plotted what was going to happen to me next. I looked at the doors of this place but, htey were blocked. The men had posted gaurds outside everydoor and window, it was clear I was not going anywhere.
Well DB, I'm going to make a decision. After all, I am CO of this Squadron, since "Dickie" went for a Burton a few weeks ago. YOU take the Invader, Milo (the real Milo) and I'll take the Mossie. I'll have the Mossie loaded with a 1000lb blockbuster and four 250lb HE bombs to soften up defenses. You come in with Arnold in the Invader and finish the job. I'll land, and have the REAL Milo rescue Red. Got that?
I was beginning to think nobody was going to show up.Why had'nt kilroy at least shown up? Maybe he was off convorting with those hussy's from he new bordello? Probably....... I should never have left teekay.Wherever he was.
"Skid", have that Mossie fueled and armed. I don't care what the ATA pilot says, we're commandeering it for this mission on the orders of the SOE. Tell him he'll get it back when we're done.
Milo, no not you, the real Milo, get that parachute harness on and get in there. Yes, you can ride in the nose. Ever drop any bombs before? I don't have any bomb-aimers in a fighter squadron. Darn, I wish I could do this in my Spitfire! *15 minutes later*
Okay Milo, hang on! *Gradually advances throttles forward, and the Mosquito starts hurtling down the runway*
Milo, see that cluster of buildings there at eleven o'clock? They're at the coordinates Blackout gave DB. Speaking of DB, where is he? Do we have to go this alone? Anyway, I'm told that Red is being kept in the left hand building, the one closest to that huge wall. Now Milo, we'll need to drop that blockbuster so it takes out the wall and nothing else, got it? Once the wall is breached we'll swing back so you can drop the 250s on the right and middle buildings. Hopefully Red will escape during all the confusion and make her way to the road on the other side of the trees. I'll try to land there so we can pick her up. If she's not there, YOU will have to go fetch her. Got it Milo?
Wait I see a plane! can't tell what kind but its looks like one of ours, maybe its my father? But he has'nt been seen in weeks. So not him. Wait there dropping a bomb on the building, wait no the next building.
Milo! You took out the middle building with the blockbuster! I wanted you to breach the wall with it! Now...holy smokes! The other buildings are collapsing too! Quick, let's get the wall! *Lines up on a spot in the wall farthest from Red's crumbling building just in case of a miss* Okay Milo, you release on my count. We have to make this work this time, as they'll be all over us with FLAK soon if we linger. Okay, five...four...three...two...one...NOW! Good shot Milo, the wall is crumbling! I hope Red is okay. Blackout, are you on this frequency? *Silence* Damn! Okay, we'll have to go it alone. Hang on, we're going to land on that road.
Oy my goodness! The other building was hit but everythings crumbling! The three men grab my arm and try to pull me out of the building but they let go and leave me there. I have to get out of here. I spy a hole in the wall and I crawl out to see there I still see more bombing going on. Maybe they are not on our side!Wait they are landing, my goodness its kilroy!
*The Mosquito rumbles to a halt* Milo, get out and see if you can find Samantha! I'll keep the engines running, but you have to make this quick! The Gerries will be all over us like flies on pancake syrup once they have a chance to regroup. Wait a minute! Was that her coming through the hole in the wall? I think she's behind that tree!
I heard someone yell my name but, I can't tell who. The strange man is almost near my hiding spot. I pull out my derringer and get ready in case he finds me. Just then he's right in front of me.
