“CAPTAIN GRANGER, SIR!” Jayce is woken up to one of the co-pilots
shaking and yelling at him.
“WE NEED YOU IN THE COCKPIT IMMEDIATELY!”
Confused, Jayce follows the co-pilot into the cockpit. The
pilot closes the door as Jayce passes through the doorway. He looks down at his
watch, as they have only been in the air for an hour.
Major Harris turns around. The expression on his face is one
of obvious distress.
“Sir, bases everywhere are coming under attack, including
ours!”
Their conversation is cut short as Jayce’s satellite phone
rings.
“Granger, the base is under attack. You need to finish your
mission. That is an order! It is not safe for you to come back. Do you
understand?” Jayce hears Stan’s voice on the other end.
“Yes sir!”
The phone goes dead. The pilot questions Jayce as to the
contents of the phone call. Jayce explains that his orders are to carry out
their mission. He then leaves the cockpit without a word to the flight crew, and
enters the cargo hold with authority that his men have only seen in combat.
“MEN, OUR HOME IS UNDER ATTACK! WE HAVE BEEN ORDERED TO
CONTINUE WITH OUR MISION. OUR FIRST MISSION IS TO PROTECT AMERICAN SOIL. IT’S
UP TO YOU. I WANT A SHOW OF HANDS. ALL THOSE THAT WANT TO GO TO THE SANDBOX?”
