Life and Its Little Oddities
By: TheSearch4

Chapter 19

The early evening was nice and John and Dana walked the town's streets. They
had given Shelby the night off and gone to the cafe for dinner. John wanted
people to see them both out and walking. They headed to the command center
as darkness stared to fall in the valley.

Carlton was sitting at the radar desk and watching the planes. "We have
twelve at thirty thousand feet and they are coming around to start dropping
down. I have radar locks from above on each, so just set your targets on my
marks."

Dana watched the craft as they started to drop and line up for a run at the
tower. "What am I seeing dear?"

"That is a flight of F22 fighters getting ready to go after our radio
tower."

Carlton looked back at John and shook his head. "Boss how did you know they
were F22's?"

"We would not be watching B-1B Lancer as you can't see them. It could not be
F-117 Nighthawk as you can't see them. The F-22 your not supposed to be able
to see, but we are looking down on them. The satellite sees things normal
radar does not see. It is just being displayed on the radar screen, as it is
a real time picture from over head."

Carlton just shook his head now. "You know more about this than I do boss."

"I spent time with the techs when they were working on it. They needed
research and I did that from the old files we downloaded from the
government. As I found specifications I sent them to the techs to study.
That was satellite information or aircraft data. "

"Why you your no scientist?" Dana was really curious now.

"I can set up a search for key words in our databases. The computer people
work for me and have built me a good search program. So I use it to help
others here get information they need and I learn as well."

"Here they come boss and fast as hell."

You could see them heading into the valley and when the last one cleared the
entrance they started dropping to the ground. You could see men bailing out
and planes crashing all over the valley. Troops came out of protected
vehicles and started rounding up the survivors. This took just over and
hours time.

The station came on the air and Kelly's first address was played. Then the
news of the attempted attack was announced to all listening. The people were
advised that many pilots had bailed out and were now being picked up.

Carlton walked into the station and sat at a microphone. "Ladies and
gentlemen I have Colonel Carlton Rider of Special Forces and ex Delta Force
commander here with me. Colonel what happened tonight?"

"Once more people who used to be the US military leaders tried to assume
power over the country. They have no use for any but those who advance their
power. So killing people who wish to start a new country, that is much
different from the old one is their goal now."

"How many attacks have happened now?" Jenny was playing her role.

"This is the second attack by aircraft and the third if you include one by
troops. We must do away with the old military or it will enslave us. There
are far to many problems to be solved here to worry about fighting others."

"Why do away with the old military now?"

"Today we need to defend any new country built and not fight wars. So we
need boarder guards, a coast guard and a national police force to back them
up. That costs money and the new country will need to pay for that. So how
much are people willing to take out of their incomes for that? We don't feel
that they should pay for any of it. Government needs to run like a business
and make a profit to pay for its needs."

"How would any national government make a profit?"

"It would run energy production and supply, communications, long distance
transportation, banking and oil and refining. It would be its responsibility
to assure people's needs are met in those areas. Of course fuel for cars
will not be possible for now. But trucking must run to get goods to
everyone."

"That means people will not have local transportation?"

"It is local governments job to supply that. They will run water, sewage,
trash pick up, collection of bills for utilities and have a small sales tax
to operate by."

"But paying the political leaders is expensive."

"No government leader will be paid at all. If they wish to serve the people
and help their citizens fine. But not even the Chairman of the Board of the
country would be paid."

A group of men is flying suits and looking worn out came into the studio.
They sat next to Carlton.

"Captain you don't look like a happy man why is that?" Jenny kept up her
talking.

"The general who sent us here lied to us all. He had us attacking a group of
seals and Special Forces personnel from Bragg. The country is all screwed up
and I see the leaders that sent us were a major part of that problem."

"Where did you come from captain?"

"Shaw AFB in South Carolina. When DC was deserted we move from Langley to
Shaw."

"Why did anyone want to hurt us?"

"We were told that a Russian group had assumed the station here. So we were
sent to destroy it."

"How do you know that is not the truth sir?"

"I met two guys I went to school with in high school and know where they
came from and their families. We grew up together and competed in sports for
our school. But our families have known each other for generations. Small
towns are like that you know?"

The talk went on for the full hour before it was brought to a close.

"We need to know where your families are captain?"

As a group we moved our families to a big house in a swamp area. Our fear
was if we failed that the brass would take it out on them. The area close to
Charleston SC is a very wet place."


"Is there any way to get them out?"

"Sure but it would take a nice small jet a couple of flights to do that."

"How about two nice small jets and one flight? Of course we have one set up
now as a gun ship so it will have to be changed over."

"Your serious about that?"

"Yep and we are good also my friend. Your base radar will not even see us.
Matter of fact it will completely explode."

That shocked the man. "How in the hell does that happen?"

"A drone will take it out when we need that to happen. Your general gets his
pay back. But he cannot shot at what he can't see. It will then start back
here for refueling."

"How about your needing to refuel your jets?"

"I will have bags of fuel dropped for us."

"You have people helping you right?"

"Special Forces kind of sticks together my man."

"Don't let him kid you, he ran Delta Force for a good period of time. He has
lots of friends. Most below the rank of general." One of his staff said to
the captain.

"How many of your people are ex Delta Force?"

"I have 60 and a few others. Between the seals and us we can do more with
less than any units out there today. The real secret is pr technical
services people. They were the ones that brought your planes down."

"It seemed like flashes of light hit us?"

"They did and those were lasers and they damaged your craft. Most had
shorter wings."

"But we were told they never worked."

"That would have costs billions new weapons development and that could not
be allowed to happen. The joint chiefs decided to hide the abilities of the
lasers, so they would get more money to spend. That was a Russian decision,
as they had nothing to compete. Once we gain power anyone attacking the
country would get cut to ribbons. But the majority of the military will be
gone."

"Then star wars was real and it worked?"

"Yes and yes as we have found out. But John told us you would be coming and
close to what time to expect you."

"I did not know until we took off when we would leave. The attack was sealed
in an envelope and I opened it in flight with the time to start."

"He told David it would happen today at just before sunset and would be
twelve planes. We also were told to expect one nuclear bomb and one was
found loaded on your aircraft captain."

The captain turned completely white and had to stop and brace himself or
fall. "You are joking right?"

"Nope I am not joking as I am taking you to see the bomb."

The captain knew he and his entire force would have been wiped out after
dropping that bomb. As low as they were no one would have survived that
drop. So the general had planned for them not to survive this run. The
entire band of brother's idea the military preached had just fallen apart
for him.

"Carlton I need revenge for what was done. I just can't let that pass
without doing something about it."

"I want you to see the bomb and the ID numbers of weapons stored at your
base."

"Why? I am sure that son of a bitch did just what you said."

"Once you know beyond doubt we will work on his punishment."

"You know we had JDAM capable areas in the bay right?"

"That fighter was the most capable we have ever built captain. But it is all
in how it is used as to its value. Today we have neither the scientist,
engineers or factories to build it once more. But no country does. So it is
the last of its breed."

There was respect in Carlton's voice and he liked the way the man talked of
good equipment. "It was a joy to fly and that is a fact."

"Well while the new country will never have a large Air Force, we will have
a good small one. We have taken over satellites belonging to Russia that
have nuclear weapons on them. They no longer have control of them or the
ability to maneuver them in space. Of course that was illegal under the old
laws of the UN." Carlton now was laughing to himself.

The captain looked shocked at him. "How the hell did you guys do that?"

"John has talked with the ex head of the old KBG and he has helped us
against a man he hates. That runs deeply over there and he will demand some
help at some point I am sure. He gave John the files on every spy here in
the country and on the head of the JCS. In return John has given him news
feeds from all over the world and a satellite communications channel on our
unit. So we know what he is doing and who he is talking with now days."

"Why would he not expect that and be careful?"

"John has complained about his lack of technical people. He also had slipped
up and told the old man a few things he needed. But John is very sharp when
it comes to using words to cover actions. The old man thinks he has John in
his hands and does not see it is the other way around."

They got to the lab and walked in. The bomb was sitting in a cradle on a
cart. The inspection plate had been removed and the timer turned off.

"What is that screen inside the bomb?"

"It is the timer screen that would once power is lost set off the device. We
had to take the plug out of your bay and install it in the Bradley to bring
this here. It had to have power to keep the clock from running. The timer is
just a few minutes total time."

"What about the other planes?"

"Normal JDAM bombs in them. None would have gone off, as they were to close
to the ground to set the guidance system. There is a complicated system that
has to be run through before one can go off. That takes time and altitude."

"Did you get the numbers off this bomb?"

"Yep and it was a unit sent to Langley for the F-22. All of that was moved
to Shaw AFB when Langley was closed."

The captain looked over the bomb and smiled now. "See that set of initials?"

"Yes I wondered why they were there?"

"They are my planes ammunitions loaders. He always signed off on each item
loaded to assure on return they were the same weapon. One of our planes lost
a weapon after landing at a base and it caused a lot of problems. So he kept
his initials and the serial number on each item loaded."

"Did he know this was a nuclear device?"

"He had to know as he drew the ordnance to load the craft. Nuclear device
are kept in a special bunker."

"One more on our death sentence list Carlton."

That confused the captain. "Why is that sir?"

The major saw he did not understand. "That bomb was rigged to go off even if
you were ordered to return home or made that decision yourself. Not one
plane in your group would have survived that. Of course we would have been
blamed for it." The major told him and it made sense to him.

"That bastard he has known me for years and to find he was not honest with
me just really hits home."

"He was in the generals pocket and following his orders as that was who made
it pay for him. I am sure he did well money wise and privileges wise as
well. The general has a sergeant major or first sergeant who runs that group
for him."

Now it fit as his guy and the first sergeant were close buddies. "It is the
flight line first sergeant that my man is very close with. Since the crash
they have become very close."

"Sorry my friend it is just the way the old military operated. It was an old
boy network and you were either in or out. Officers could not be liked by
their troops or they were suspect of being to soft. Really it kept men from
following them to hell when needed. There is not one man here who would not
attack hell if I asked them to. Of course I would have to lead them in that
attack." He was smiling now.

"Don't let him kid you he would fight them to lead that attack. His troops
respect him and would follow him anyplace he went."

They headed back to the hospital to check on a couple of injured pilots.
Finding them well taken care of and in good spirits they went to the
underground hanger.

"God your ready to fight a war here now. This is an incredible amount of
hardware."

"Please note nothing can be seen from above. No one knows just how well John
has prepared us. We have protected towns and areas where we have people
building new settlements. Those Cobras were very handy in that area. The gun
ships have seen action as well and done well for us. But in all we just help
others who needed it and do our fighting on the ground here."

The captain was now intrigued and wanted to know more. "What do you mean
fighting on the ground here?"

"We took out twelve aircraft from Norfolk who were trying to bomb the town.
Then we have killed over two thousand that have attacked us here trying to
get our gold and food supplies. What your going to find out is we are not
nice people to those who try to kill us."

The two small Lear jets were ready to fly now. The officers were checking
them out and fuel was topped off. "OK captain you need to show us where we
are going and let us plan a flight to keep us out of trouble."

Seabrook Island has a small grass strip here." He was pointing at the
location now. "It has been mowed and will be lighted at night for just two
minutes time by normal lights. There are inferred lights that can be seen
after you spot the lighted field."

"How many do we have to bring back?"

"There are eight women and nine children of three to eight years old."

"That will not be to bad then."

"We have one older boy with them handling the protection and he is eighteen.
I have a pager he will get a signal from to turn on the lights. It takes
about ten minutes for him to respond to my signal."

Carlton now wanted the mans attention. "Understand you and your men's lives
here depend on those planes coming back safe and sound. I will have a Delta
Force C130 flying above that strip and they will be down on you like stink
on shit if anything goes wrong. I will have a drone with missiles running
just overhead as well. We don't know you and don't yet trust you captain."

"Colonel I promise we will not be taking your people into any risk on the
ground or air if possible."

"The air I am not worried about it is the ground that concerns me. If my
Delta Force friends come in no one will live to see the sun rise."

There was no trust in Carlton's eyes at all, just a cold ice that send a
shiver down his back. This man was not going to lose people over anyone's
errors. God help the fool that crossed him.

The captain got on the Lear. They were towed to the elevator and lifted up
to the runway. Once off the elevator they waited for the second plane. The
two took off in formation and advise Pope that Delta Force R2 was airborne
now."

The captain had no idea what Delta Force R2 was and did not ask? The radios
were shutdown now and they just followed their planned course to Pope. Once
they were close the planes dropped down and took another heading going
toward the target Seabrook Island. A C-130 was now flying high above them
and that was what was being followed. The Lear's were just five hundred feet
off the deck and making wide passes of towns with airports. With no
communications a low flying aircraft could never be reported.

During the time of getting the lights turned on an attack was made knocking
down Shaw's radar. Then a run was made down a line of aircraft sitting wing
to wing on the ground. Many exploded and fires were taking many F-22's out
of existence. When ammunition started to cook off people just ran for cover.
That was when several lighting bolts hit the general's house and turned it
into rubble. With fires coming from anything that could burn nothing left
the house alive.

The two planes landed at the grass strip, the families and the young guard
were picked up. They were back out and fast, as they knew what was happening
at Shaw.

"Delta Force R2 nice little strike on Shaw. You guys are incredible."

The captain heard that and looked up at the pilot.

"The ground at Shaw has a lot of destroyed F-22 fighters and the general's
house no longer exists. Their radar no longer works either captain. So it
has been a fairly good night for our side."

"How many F-22's were taken out?"

"The entire flight line was destroyed. I would say better than twenty five
percent of the F-22's left are now scrap. With ammunition cooking off no one
would get close to fight fires. Besides they had no general to order it."
Now the man was laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

"John is a very dangerous man captain and most generals just don't know how
dangerous. If you try to pick his pocket he will cut your throat while
smiling at you. In this new world that is just how things will have to be.
If your fair he is always more than fair, if not God help you. He has this
thing about being honest and your word being your bond. If he says he will
do anything I assure you it gets done. His word is always his bond."

The man could hear the respect this man had for John. John was not the
warrior, but he was the one that drove them to succeed. Failing him was just
not an option for any of them. The only way he could explain it was it was
like a child trying to please their father.

As they landed the planes went to the lift and were taken down below. The
people were off loaded and sent to their husbands wherever they were. The
two in the hospital were not married so no problems there.

"Colonel how many F-22's have been destroyed?"

"Including your planes just 19% of the fleet purchased. We have done nothing
to the F-117 or the B-1B's at all. The only attacks came to generals and one
admiral that have tried to hurt us. So it is in their hands as to how the
outcome is."

"I have to ask how did you get the general inside the base and with guards
outside his house?"

"Lasers hit the house and it burnt very quickly. No guards wanted to go near
it. Two drones got the radar and flight line. We sent pictures to the
generals who have been doing the bitching, with the nuclear bomb numbers.
Every base commander is on warning this could happen to them and their base.
The time for play is over and now we are dead serious. The report of
tonight's action will be on the radio tomorrow for as many as possible to
hear."

The captain knew these people were well and truly pissed at the military. He
took his wife and daughter to the inn in the city and checked in. He had a
meeting with John tomorrow and he needed to be rested. They were given a
nice room and a bed for the girl. Breakfast here was at seven to nine AM and
if they needed food after that they could go to the caf�, if they had local
money.

That problem he did not even try to get into.

The next day they did have breakfast at the inn and head to John's office.
When the two walked in he was shocked to see a very young girl sitting on
John's lap. She was may be 8 or 9?

Jordan, Rachel and Gina this is my daughter Kelly. He kissed the girl as she
hopped up and shook hands with them. "I run the radio station here and am an
advisor to the youth group."

That shocked them and you could see it. "Kelly may look her age of 8, but
she has a mental age of well over 16. The ladies IQ just can't be measured."
Now Kelly was smiling her blinding smile.

"I was wondering why you never wore your medal Jordan?" Kelly just had to
know the answer to that one.

Jordan was surprised at this question from an 8 year old. "What do you know
about my medals?"

"You have three purple hearts, two silver stars and the Medal of Honor
beside the I was there metals." She repeated her reading.

Now Jordan's eyebrows rose. "Where did you get that information?"

"As daddy said I run the radio station and checked all your people out last
night. If we report it people can accept it as dead honest fact. So I check
out everything we are going to report and make sure it is correct. We have
the military files on everyone who has or was serving up to the crash."

"God that must be one hell of a computer you have."

"No those files don't take up 1% of our database area. But they do come in
handy to check people out. Your squadron was all military black sheep. Are
you sure you and pappy Boyington were not related?"

Now he was really shocked at this young lady. "You have to be the smartest 8
year old I have ever seen."

"Thank you kind sir all nice comments are accepted by me." She was beaming
now and Jordan's wife was enjoying this.

"Just think that is what Gina is going to do to you shortly husband."

Kelly turned to Gina. "Come on lets get out of here and let the adults
talk."

Gina ran over and grabbed Kelly's hand and they headed out.

Jordan was very quiet now. "How in the hell does any child at Kelly's age
have that ability?"

"If Kelly reads a book on surgery she can perform the actual operation just
like explained. If the writer did well in explaining it, you would survive
as if he did that surgery. As I said she has no way for anyone to measure
her IQ. Her abilities one day will run the new country. For her it is not
for money or any normal human reason. It is for the people and she believes
that deep down."

Jordan was shocked at this honesty. "You would turn the government over to
her?"

"She is smarter than I am Jordan. So when people will accept it, yes she
will run the country. It is my ownership of precious metals that it will be
built on. But it will be very much her brains behind a good deal of it."

The honesty was refreshing and unusual for him. "You don't seem to care
about the power that brings?"

"Power? It brings responsibility and not power. That was a lesson the old
government forgot. They lost their sense of responsibility to and for the
people of the country. It became power and they just had to play with it.
You see where it got us now."

That he could and wondered if anyone could do a better job? "I am not sure
anyone could have done it any better now?"

"Under the structure I think your right. But the way I have it planned the
people get to make their choices. Any law can be changed with a two thirds
vote from the people. But government will make no laws and it will spend no
tax money. It is set up like a corporation and has a board of directors. It
makes money from business it operates to allow it to meet things that must
be paid for. Like a small military, border guards, national police,
diplomacy where needed and education. Those are not paid for by peoples
incomes being taxed." He handed both Jordan and his wife copies of his plan
and laws.

They skimmed them and shook their heads a few times. It took just half an
hour to wade their way though it. "That is very different from what was set
up before. But it does take a lot of the so called power and places it in
peoples hands." Rachel was truly impressed now.

"In our past we have built government on top of government. You had local,
state and then federal, one on top of the other. Each was feeding off the
people. Every item purchased had taxes for all three included in them. That
ends with the new country. The only tax is the sales tax for their local
area and everyone pays that to the government. No leader can ever be paid
for their service. Police can only enforce the laws you have read in just
ten pages. Their job is to investigate and report to a judge before acting
unless someone could be hurt. No one can run away and they would be charged
with that as well if they tried."

It was easy to se how life would be under these new laws and structure. "I
like what your doing and only question a few things. Like the age of consent
and the age to vote." Jordan was being honest now.

"Those were recommended by our youth counsel. In looking at their arguments
I agreed with them. We are a very young nation now after millions have been
killed off. Children will need to start much earlier to carry their share of
the load. At 12 a girl can carry and have a child safely. I know as my
grandmother had my dad at that age. People who vote should understand they
are also responsible. I have found the young people here at the age stated
very responsible. They fight and risk their lives to keep us safe here."

Both adults had not seen this and yet with the explanation it made sense to
them. "I see your point and agree. Now what can I do to help you and earn a
living John?"
