While Charlie and Delta had made their way to the bedroom, Alpha and Bravo had made their way to the Kennedy’s Land Rover. Their task was to drive the Land Rover down the coast where they would meet Charlie and Delta after they had disposed of the bodies. However, they had spotted Donald clumsily making his way towards the room Charlie and Delta were in. Realising that something was seriously amiss, they abandoned the Land Rover and made their way around the building and onto Rachel and Donald’s terrace.
Alpha had arrived just as Delta was being struck by Saki. Alpha had seen some amazing things in his time but nothing compared to the power of the kick delivered to Delta. Alpha then noticed Charlie lying in an impossibly contorted position; he was clearly dead. Alpha raised his Heckler amp; Koch MP5SD silenced sub machine gun.
“What the hell are you doing?” whispered Bravo, grabbing the barrel of the gun. “This is supposed to be a clean kill.”
“They’re both dead! Charlie and Delta are dead! The Kennedys are still alive. If we don’t kill them, Zulu will kill us!”
“OK, OK, you’re right. Just don’t make too much noise. We’ll need to clear up before we leave,” said Bravo as he released his hold on the gun.
Alpha raised the gun and aimed. As he couldn’t see Rachel, he assumed the body in the bed was her. It certainly wasn’t Donald as he had just burst into the room.
Donald was looking at Saki when he noticed a small movement through the window. It was dark outside and the men were dressed in black. However, the gun’s nozzle, glinting in the moonlight, caught Donald’s eye and he instinctively dived towards it.
Donald was too slow. The bullet left the gun and began its deadly course towards Tylanni. Saki had reacted to Donald’s warning and also moved towards Alpha but spotting Bravo behind him, he recalculated his movements to deal with both targets.
Although Donald had failed to reach Alpha, he hadn’t failed to reach the bullet that grazed his hip causing it to deviate from its intended destination, Tylanni’s heart. Nonetheless, after grazing Donald, the bullet continued to hurtle towards Tylanni and hit her in the leg instead.
Saki was not faster than a bullet but he was quicker than the man who pulled the trigger. As the first bullet left the gun and Alpha prepared to pull the trigger again, Saki struck. A double kick landed squarely on Alpha’s jaw rendering him unconscious. Bravo reached for his gun but had moved less than a millimetre when Saki delivered a blow to the back of his neck which ensured he would move nothing more than his lips for the rest of his life.
Donald watched as Saki then landed deliberately next to the unconscious Alpha. He saw him deliver a slight but distinct blow to the head, putting Alpha into a permanent vegetative state. Death was too good for the man who had shot his wife.
