50 MILES EAST OF THE NORWEGIAN BORDER “ HEY! What are you doing with that plutonium?” Admiral Karkov yelled at one of his employees. “Were not moving the plutonium to the processing plant until Monday! “Ummmm” said the worried worker, Aleksandr murmured “ YOU'RE FIRED! GET OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW!” Karkov shouted at the worried employee He kicked him into the uncivilized forest Little did the fired employee know that he was not the only one who knew he was fired. CIA Headquarters “Hmmm…” David Delta said. He’d been working for the CIA for around 3 years and was originally from Sydney, Australia. He is currently 30 years old and has a degree in Applied Maths and Science from the Ivy League. To be specific, Pennsylvania University. “I think that we have some new information here somewhere by the Norwegian border. We have somebody yelling at a worker in the supposedly secret base by Norway. We think that his radiation levels are high.” David added “Woah, you think those are the bombs? We’ve been building them too. I wonder how much they have. Lets monitor this camera 24/7. I’m getting suspicious.” Davids colleague, Eric said. Eric had been David’s friend ever since Eric joined the CIA 2 years after Eric joined and has been working with David since he came here. He is David’s friend for life. “Should we notify the President?” “ Nah, he already knows.”
CIA Headquarters “Who’s that guy trudging through the snow? David asked Eric. “I dunno, another worker?” Eric guessed “We have cameras inside the factory and I reckon there are around a thousand workers in there. You think that can help us identify him?” “Whatever. But I think that he will help us find out where they are targeting and when we can stop it.Eric replied “Who are we sending in?” “I dunno, I think that I would make a good agent, though.” David said hopefully Base in Norwegian Border So David finally got in to the factory and applied for the job. He wouldn’t have come without the video cameras and put down more. David was fully equipped with cameras and gadgets to spy on the Russians. As David tried to sneak in, he failed. As soon as he walked in the doorway, a worker shouted at David saying: “WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?????” Since David was undercover and as he was not about to blow his cover, he had to tell them that he was a new worker. Actually, he was trying to find out where they are trying to launch the missiles. “Can I see the geological map?” David asked. He was trying to get an excuse to see where they were trying to get the missiles.
“Sure! If you have your ID, l’ll show you exactly where we're putting them! the worker said over enthusiastically David was a bit suspicious about that, but he needed to know where the bombs were going and he needed to know it NOW! CIA Headquarters Eric was worried. Very worried. Maybe even more worried than he’d ever been before. So many questions were zooming around his head. What if they found out he was American?What if he blew his cover? What if he never found out where the missiles were going? Luckily he had an earpiece connected to David’s and it was easy to communicate to him. He felt like calling • him, but what if he thinks it is too loud and says “OW” unexpectedly? Also, he’d probably say it in English, and not Russian. The thing is he can speak fluent Russian but • he usually doesn’t want to speak it because he doesn’t • • really like the language. Eric tried to call him quietly so that he would’nt yell in pain, but also so that if there was somebody next to him they wouldn’t hear him. “David, how are you?” Eric whispered to his best friend. “Fine, leading me to the bombs. D’you think that they know?” “No, as long as your fake mustache doesn’t fall off or they offer you vodka you should be fine.” David hated the thought of drinking vodka.
“Kay, here they are, the big bulletin board with all the targets. So far, there’s a pin on the White house …..” He stopped in shock. “Okay, this is very bad. I”m gonna tell the FBI. If they know where Area 51 is, there gonna spy on us and we’ll have to take out everybody! I know, lets give them the knockout gas, but then everybody’s gonna collapse…” He kept on rambling on like that for a long time, but David wondered when they were going to launch the missiles over to the white house.
Just then, the worker spoke. “We’re planning to launch our first missile to the white house, then…” “THE WHITE HOUSE? WHY THE WHITE HOUSE FIRST! O MY GOSH I GOTTA WARN THE PRESIDENT! “ Just then, that was when David blew his cover. He slipped out of his Russian and into his usual English. Eric saw this coming, so that meant after he would hear the wail of the alarms and the shouting of the employee, AMERIKANSKIY V DOME!(American in the house) Eric was right. sirens came, then “AMERIKANSKIY V “Now how am I David asked
After his thought, the wail of the everybody shouting, DOME!” It was absolute chaos. going to be able to get out?”
“Just try and get out where you came in and I’ll send a helicopter as quickly as possible”
“ASAP?” David questioned “ASAP.” Eric confirmed. WHITE HOUSE,USA “Hello, Mr President, but I am afraid that we have discovered that a few nuclear missiles are being launched toward your location.” “What like, now?” Greyson asked. “Who are you with?” Greyson wanted to know if that was a CIA or FBI. If it was he had to evacuate immediately. “Sir, this is the CIA. You need to evacuate immediately.” The CIA agent said. “Where is the missile?” “In Ontario coming from Alaska at around 2000 miles per hour.” “Ontario’s 400 miles away. Thats 12 minutes away,to be exact. Please evacuate immediately. Like…NOW!!!!!!!!!”
The thing was, he couldn’t evacuate immediately. He had to inform his family about the bombs and his wife was out shopping. Well...It was worth a try. “Did he get them out yet?” the missiles are now in the outskirts of Pennsylvania.”I don’t think that he’s gonna make it out unless he hurries up. David worriedly told Eric. “If he doesn’t, were making contact Karkov to ask him for the exact details.” Eric said as if he knew that he would tell him just like that. “Y’think that he’s just going to say exactly where the bombs are going just like that????” David asked suspiciously. “Hopefully he does so we can go in and stay away from the high radiation levels when we go in.” David said hopefully White House, USA “Daddy, how far more do we have to go?” Amy, Greyson’s daughter asked him. “As far as possible, Amy. Something very bad is about to happen.” Greyson just couldn’t tell his 7 year old daughter that a nuclear bomb was going towards their home. “Like what, Daddy?” “ Like… That?” Greyson looked out the window. The bomb was coming in fast. Faster than Fast. To be exact, 1500 miles an hour!
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH” Her scream filled the air. Then everything around the car vanished as if it was never there CIA Headquarters “Dave, we’re too late. It arrived too fast.” Eric said sadly to David “What! Let me see.” David exclaimed back to Eric “Our satellite images shows that everything within a 50 metre radius was completely surrounded with rubble and debris. Greyson was 80 miles away from the bomb. We’re sending a rescue team in Tomorrow. Eric explained to Dave “WHAT? TOMMOROW? WE NEED A RESCUE TEAM NOW! NOT TOMORROW, NOT NEXT WEEK, NOT NEXT MONTH, NOW! N-O-W. NOW” David was raging. “Kay, kay, we’ll put together a 50 people rescue response team ASAP.” Eric was trying to reassure David.”Its not the end of the world” As soon as Eric said that, he regretted it. “Um… yes it is.” David shot back. “Whatever…” Eric was tired of David always retaliating and contradicting him “Hello, sir, can you please join our rescue team for the president?”Pause. “Yes.Yes.” The calls for recruits went like that until there were 75 rescue team members prepared for the worst in the CIA headquarters. David was satisfied.
He wasn’t just going to storm into the highly radiated White House area without a lot of people and resources. “Happy now? Eric asked David. “Very Happy. I just didn’t want to go into a highly radiated place without a lot of people. “Can we have one more person to connect to?” “Who?” “Karkov, he probably knows the levels of radiation in the White house area; I placed a screen under the snow right next to the camera where we first saw him. When we put the camera on overdrive, the snow around the camera will melt, making the screen visible for communication. Now we wait for him to walk out the factory unless he is already outside the factory.”Eric explained. “Thats a smart idea. I think that he already is outside the factory though so we better work fast.” Russian Base “Zhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmm” The camera was zooming round and round, as if it was trying to attract the other person's attention. The camera, or whoever was manning it, succeeded in doing so. “What?” Admiral Karkov turned around to face the camera. Dave and Eric’s plan was working perfectly. The trap was coming into place. As the Admiral turned around, the camera had heated up so much that there was a metre radius around the camera of melted snow.
Just enough for the Admiral to see the screen hiding there with the faces of David and Eric staring at Karkov. ‘Who do you think you are????” asked Karkov. Hopefully he wouldn’t realize that one of the people in the screen was a former employee that lasted an hour and is a spy for the US. “We’re your friends. We mean no harm. I just thought that if you just snuck into the edge of the Norwegian border and waved at the first helicopter and boarded it, it would mean a lot to us. “You still haven’t answered. Who are you?” He asked anxiously. “Okay, don’t freak out on me. We’re from the United States Of America. You probably don’t know that variation, but to you we’re Americans.” Karkov started to open his mouth, as if he was trying to scream, but then Eric snapped at him”I said not to shout so be quiet” “I think that there is too much war in the world and I think that the president would be able to make a stop to that.” David was trying to persuade Karkov to go on the helicopter and help them on the way. “I think that too. But…” Karkov couldn’t finish his sentence. David interrupted him by saying” Okay, see you in 30 minutes by the Norwegian border with a sign saying Central International Advertising(CIA).
5 Miles Away From White House “K, I brought a map with the radiation levels complete with the ruins of the White House.” Karkov was finally here 5 miles away and decreasing in a hazmat suit in a monster truck going through what is now a deserted area because of the bomb. “Cool, let me see it. So we have the Truman balcony on its side, with the bomb shelter in the basement, I reckon that he’s not in there because we told him to get as far away as possible.”Eric was trying to put the pieces together. “When the bomb exploded, all the rubble flew forward around the car of near the car so the car is probably somewhere in the rubble of the building. By the way, there probably isn’t that much rubble left. A lot of it has probably vaporized. “WAIT! I SEE SOME RUBBLE OVER TO THE LEFT! HALF OF US GO OVER TO THE LEFT, THAT INCLUDES YOU, KARKOV!” David shouted over the engines of the convoy of monster trucks. *** “Kay, that is a lot of rubble, but probably not as much as the full white house. Just to let all of you know, we’ve copied a radiation map for all of you. One each. Use it so you don’t have too much exposure to radiation even in your hazmat suits” Eric told everyone. “Now lets start looking for a smashed car with the president and his daughter in it. GO TEAM!”
Go team indeed. As soon as Eric finished his sentence, everyone started looking. Digging through the rubble, shoveling the sand, walking through the sand.Eric and David were looking through the rubble with a sift and they were looking specifically for plastic and metals of some sort because if you find the pieces of the car, the president is likely to be near. Everybody was looking everywhere, and everybody knew they were close. Eric and Dave felt the closest and the nearest to the metal and the president. After around and half hour of sifting, shoveling and digging, David and Eric finally found a piece of singed plastic. “All rescue team members come over here! Who’s the plastic expert?” David shouted to all the rescue team members. One of them raised their hand and walked over to Eric. Eric gave him the instructions. “The president’s private car has type ECS plastic. Can you try and identify it?” The worker nodded. Luckily he’s worked with this type of plastic a lot of times and is confident with handling it “This is pretty easy to do it. I think that the type is ECS plastic. We have found the presidents car!” the worker exclaimed. “Kay, I think I see some gas from the car...We need to extract that immediately or the thing will explode!” “Here’s a steering wheel, inside the car is probably a lot more put together than the destructed outside”
Everyone was starting to understand now. After that, they started digging a bit more carefully for the president and his daughter. ************** “I FOUND HIM!!!!!!!! I ACTUALLY FOUND THE PRESIDENT!!!!!” Eric screamed in David’s ear. “What? What about the daughter? Where is she?” David questioned “ Still can’t find her.” Eric frowned “Well, look! Come on, i’ll help you. We can be here for a minute, or a day, or a year.” David reassured Eric. They searched and searched forever, but never succeeded. They knew Greyson would grieve that they couldn’t find his daughter. Until, they found a small childs knee. David and Eric jumped off the rubble like a cat jumping out of water, not wanting to put too much pressure on her body; also forcing the workers on to the hot sand on the ground With the desperation and the fact that the president would cry them a river after he wakes up in the hospital, or earlier, where he is now, the air conditioned car,hooked up to life support and probably being there for the rest of the month if all goes well. As Eric and David were digging for the lost girl, they were thinking if she would come through and would survive. She was only seven, and who knows how much weight that has been pressurizing on her chest.
As they dug and pulled her body out, just before they put her on a gurney and hook her up to life support, her eyes flickered and opened her eyes. It was a miracle! “Are you OK?” Eric and David asked at the same time, eager to hear her response and find out if she actually was OK. “I’m fine…” She whined.” Where’s my dad? Im fine I want to see my dad and I want to see if he’s OK.” Eric and David wasn’t sure if they should bring seven year old Amy to see her Dad in critical condition and hooked up to life support with tubes in his mouth and barely breathing. In other words, in a really bad shape. Luckily, according to the doctors, he is in a really good shape and has a very high chance of surviving.
In the end Eric and David gave in. Amy’s puppy eyes were just too good and the president was her father, so they gave in. They also felt really sorry for the girl. As they walked in, Karkov walked over and looked at the girl. He looked at Eric and David.” Thank you.” You have let me defect to the US and escape the terrible Soviet Union. Before, I was thinking of quitting the job, but when you are a communist you do not quit. So I was forced to launch the...you know. He just couldn’t say it in front of the girl.
“Well, we might as well see how the president is doing.” As David said that, he saw Amy’s eyes light up with excitement and joy. “Lets go lets go lets goooooooooooo” Amy was really excited as she pushed Eric forward to the truck. “Around an hour later, after going through the now desert location for miles, the President had finally reached a hospital in Ohio and was now in critical condition…” The media buzz was blasting and Eric, David, and Karkov were stars. They definitely got their 15 minutes.
Vice Presidents House “Well, I guess this is the last time that we are going to launch missiles at each other.” Greyson said from his wheelchair to the Vice President, Eric, David, and Karkov in the Vice presidents house 30 miles away from the White house(For safety’s sake). “Let the media in!” The president shouted to the secret service as they opened the door to the hundreds of the journalists banging on the door with the flashes as bright as the sun to see the big red button that launches the missile to destroy the base in the coordinates Karkov leaked to the president
As the journalists, cameramen, and news reporters poured into the house with barely enough space to hold all of them, with all their equipment aiming at the stage with the big red button and Greyson, the vice president, Karkov, David, and Eric. “This is the moment we have all been waiting for. World Peace, end of nuclear war, a bit of punishment for the Russians, win win for all of us!” Greyson’s voice boomed through the speakers set up inside the house. “Before we do anything, I would like to thank David Delta, Eric Marley, and Admiral Karkov for saving me, my daughter, and the rest of America for coming in and doing something!” The Vice President said to all the media in the room. “If you look at the location, the pinpoint aiming technology is so accurate that it will hit the exact place where the bombs were made and there will be no more nuclear war for us!” Admiral Karkov exclaimed to all of the media and people inside the room. “15,14,13,12,11,10” The president was starting the countdown to launch the bombs”8,7,6,5…” Hopefully the Russians didn’t know…”4,3,2,111111111” The number one echoed through the house as the media shouted the countdown “Gooooooooooooooooo” Everyone shouted as they saw the missile fly up like a rocket to the moon.
***************** Base in Russia “Where's Karkov?” Aleksandr wondered for the first time back at the facility as the missile was 3 miles away coming in faster than fast directly at him. As Aleksandr looked up at the sun, or was there two? Aleksandr rubbed his eyes. The second sun was getting bigger! Then Aleksandr suddenly realized that it wasn’t a second sun. It was a bomb coming straight at him and the facility! Karkov had betrayed the communist community and defected to the US to have peace and no more bomb’s! And that guy who got fired within an hour actually was an American spy to find out the location of the bombs coming. By the time Aleksandr’s thoughts finished whizzing around his head, it was too late. The radiation would cover the Russian border forever.
