>>>TABER & SILKA:
Man!! Are you in for a treat!! Below is an excerpt of the St. Petersburg railway station scene and a picture of the inside of the railway station. We fell in love all over again after reading this!
They drove to the
Vitebsky train station and got into their planned positions.
Phantom, Eagle Eye and Bulldog reached the
luggage elevator. They snuck inside it and went downstairs.
Flash was waiting for Brett at the spiral
stairs disguised as a bulky, bearded guard. His black suit and hat along with
his Russian came in very handy. He stopped Brett from taking the stairs and
offered him another exit, after Brett asked for directions to the parking lot.
He followed Brett as he dragged his suitcase and grabbed him from behind when
they reached the parking area outside.
Brett had years of combat experience which
enabled him to get out of Flash’s snake coil grasp. He punched Flash in his
ribs with his elbow and twisted himself around. He did not count on the fact
that Flash was even more experienced. Flash grabbed his attacking arm and pushed
it down with one hand, while with the other he tazered his neck. He struggled
as Flash quickly kicked his bad knee and floored him. Quickly, Flash reached over
to get Brett off his knees and vertical.
Instantly Brett fought back by punching Flash
in his stomach, which inevitably connected with Flash's bullet proof vest.
Flash tazered him again and kicked him so hard in the face that he fell to the
floor.
Before he could make another move, Phantom,
Eagle Eye and Bulldog appeared with their weapons drawn. Phantom and Bulldog
reached to pick him up, but Brett had pulled a knife from his belt. He flung it
at Phantom and cut his neck. The other three members immediately subdued the
attacker and knocked him out of his disguise and into a new one.
Phantom grabbed for his throat and fell to
his knees. He tried to reach into his pants pockets for his small medical kit.
Bulldog came to his rescue and forced him to lie down while he checked his
vitals and the extent of the damage.
Eagle Eye and Flash tied and gagged Brett in
such a way that hardcore BDSM seemed romantic.
"Wimp! It’s just nick," Bulldog said to Phantom and proceeded
to patch up his neck.
Eagle Eye and Flash came to see for
themselves. Their faces went pale and bleak. They paused for a bit. Then they
started laughing.
"You won't even need tissue paper to
patch that up!" Flash joked and then laughed.
"Tell that to Ryan Gauze-ling over here!"
Phantom retorted.
"You should have seen your face, GQ boy!"
Eagle Eye burst out laughing. "You'll be fine...little scarred, but fine,"
he said and held his hand out to help Phantom up.
Bulldog had covered the slice, where Brett's
electrocution impaired arm tried to cut him with very little success.
Phantom stood up and the four of them continued with their plan.
"Bravo 2 company, come in for Alpha team," he spoke into his
receiver.
"Bravo company over," Team leader
spoke.
"We have Satan's doppelgänger, proceed
with operation Sputnik," Phantom said, instructing them to arrest the
Russians and the terrorists.
"Copy that," Team leader
acknowledged the order.
They dragged Brett to their van. A familiar
sound caught their attention. It was like sixties music. Nobody was really
‘there’ but everyone knows the music.
They dumped Brett and his suitcase full of
clothes and diamonds in the van.
"Sounds like you and Flash have visitors
from Mill-Walkie," Phantom instructed Flash and Eagle Eye to take the lead
and take out the guys with the walkie-talkies if they were not ‘friendlies’.
Just then, gun shots and automatic gun fire
could be heard from inside the station. Women screaming and loud banging noises
could be heard all the way into the parking lot. The teams were under fire from
gangs who refused Bravo team’s proposal of handcuffs.
"Flash and I will welcome our guests to
Allah…," Eagle Eye held up his one weapon. "BAM-ma," he continued,
holding up the other weapon.
"You and Bulldog Delta Force some peace
in there," Flash suggested.
Bulldog smiled and shook his head.
"Where did I get you walking clichés from?" he laughed.
They all smiled and gave each other good luck
fist bumps.
Bulldog took the back and Phantom went in the
main entrance. People were running out of the doors past him. Once inside, he
noticed people running and some diving for cover among the tracers that flew
all over the place. A scared little three year old girl stood in the centre of
the hall crying hysterically while her mother stood screaming for her by the
square columns, unable to get past the mob of panicked people, as she searched
for her daughter.
---
Silka watched
him on the monitor. Phantom holstered his gun and in a split second swooshed
the baby girl up in his arms. He ran past the square columns, grabbed the
mother and broke into the big, wooden structure behind it. There he hid the
little girl and her mother behind the counters, out of the line of fire.
Silka's legs went weak from the tenderness and pride she felt.
