Sniper: Special Ops Page #4

They lost.

Then we headed

over to the hotel.

They had the congressman

strung up there

like a damn worm on a hook,

and we took the bait.

Then what?

Request to speak freely.

Shoot.

How in the hell does

a non-military observer

like the congressman

get authorization to go on some

sightseeing tour in Matubahk

and then fall into a damn ambush

that is so perfectly laid out

that not one of the team members

of the personal security detail

survives or radios for help?

Don't smell right, sir.

I don't have a good answer

for you, Sergeant Mosby.

What about the congressman?

Why was he spared?

Who the hell knows?

Maybe they were

planning to stage

some Internet extravaganza

with him

or trade him

for something they want.

Hell, they only

had him for a day.

Maybe they didn't

have any plan at all.

Maybe.

All right, sir, look,

as far Chandler and Cannon go-

If you're talking about going

back into Matubahk today,

negative.

Why? Those are my men, sir.

Because I'm short of people

and ammunition.

Here's the deal, Mosby.

Renegade got hit hard

last night,

and they're still

under pressure.

All available air assets have

been committed to that fight.

In the meantime, I get word

a major Taliban force

is headed in our direction.

If that's the case,

I don't have the people,

and I don't have the ammo

to stage an effective defense.

So I am not authorizing

anything outside the wire

until we get resupplied

and reinforced.

Now go see about your men.

All right, when do we go?

- We don't.

- What?

Colonel says we wait.

That doesn't make any sense.

I know.

He's got his reasons.

I'm just not sure I'm buying.

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna go ask

some questions.

You stand by.

Be ready to move.

Marcus.

You awake, buddy?

Hey, Vic.

Yeah, I'm awake, all right.

They just gave me

a shot of the good stuff,

so it won't be long.

That's good, buddy.

That's good.

You need your rest.

Well, I'm sorry about

Doc and the guys.

Yeah, yeah, we all are.

I guess compared to them,

I'm the lucky one.

I want you to have this.

Maybe it'll do you some good.

Besides, I heard

there's a jinx in the camp.

News travels fast, huh?

You, uh, sure

you can spare this?

Yeah, I'm sure.

As long as you have it on you,

you'll be okay.

All right, buddy.

I'll take real good care

of it, all right?

Congressman?

It's okay, it's okay.

You're safe, you're safe.

I'm Sergeant First Class Mosby.

I was leading the rescue team

this morning, sir.

It's okay, it's okay.

Relax, relax.

Congressman.

- Sir.

- Hmm?

I need to know

what happened in Matubahk.

Sir, was it an ambush

or was it something else, sir?
