Maw Journal: September 29, 2011
Ruffbo was feeling exceptionally content. Guzzling down his Fighto beer on a Malibu beach with Frank, soaking up the sun. He imagined the bitches were taking note of him in his Oakley shades and sporting a designer neckerchief. Things couldn't be better ! Yo , Frank , did you check out that buffed poodle ? Ruffbo couldn't help barking at the bitches. Every commando needs some down time and this was it for Frank and Ruffbo. These Seal team six comrades were trying hard to forget their last op .
Frank, Ruffbo's loyal human counterpart didn't have female companionship on his mind at the moment. His team boss had advised him that an urgent op was on the way. That's the way it was for the team. There was no shortage of terrorist tangos out in the real world which meant he and his best bud Ruffbo would soon be in harms way again. Ruff was a carefree sort but Frank was a worrier. Frank didn't see any point in disturbing his bud yet. He broke out a fresh can of Fighto beer from their cooler and tossed it to Ruffbo. "Thanks" , Ruffbo barked and then asked for a steak in jest. Frank noticed a jet black Doberman Pinscher loitering on the nearby sand. Maybe he should have suspected something but the sky was so blue and the water was warm. Ruffbo was oblivious too. They didn't realize then that there was a storm on the horizon.
Ruffbo and Frank wrapped up their beach sojurn and ran to their tricked out jeep. They sped down the highway to a classified location near Coranado. Working on your tans guys ? They had just arrived and already Zeke the boss man was bringing them back to the real world. The rest of the team was in the briefing room waiting. Zeke was a big carrot topped lunk of a man in his late thirties. His bedside manner was disturbingly blunt but the operators didn't mind his charm school dropout ways.
Zeke came right to the point. The Command Authority ( President ) says that there is a big problem in Botswana. Its the only real stable state in Africa and its leader
Ian Khama AKA Lieutenant General Seretse Khama Ian Khama is a big ally. ! The Red Scare terrorist group working with the Zimbabwe Secret Police, the CIO, is putting together a plan to assassinate Khama. This guy went to Sandhurst Royal Military Academy and is solid with the President !
The team was given the job of gathering intelligence on the situation and then taking out the threat. The Zimbabweans had infiltrated Botswana posing as displaced refugees. Under the government of Robert Mugabe at least 3 million people had fled in recent years. The Red Scare group used the cover of an International aid group to explain their presence in Botswana . Preventing an assassination and eliminating the threat is a complex job that only Team six could handle. This was hardly a comfort to Zeke, the Boss man.
After the briefing Zeke took Frank and Ruffbo aside. Guys this op has a special twist to it ! What do you know about Medusa the female dog terrorist ? Ruffbo automaticly growled at the mention of the name. In dog language that only his bud Frank could understand Ruffbo laid out what he knew. Medusa was a doberman pinscher wardog that had been specially bred in the German state of Thuringia. Quite early in her life she exhibited a high level of stranger directed aggression. The Pakistani Intelligence Agency ISI trained her in assassination when they were fighting the Russians in Afghanistan. She had posed as a cadaver dog on a previous hit. Expert in dog martial arts and the stealth kill, Medusa was a formidable enemy!
Now Frank's memory flashed back to Malibu beach and just how close he and Ruffbo had been to lurking danger. Their job now was to neutralize Medusa and her team of assassins. Apparently there had already been an attempt on Ian Khama's life. It had happened just two weeks ago. The Red Scare used the ploy of a handicapped refugee falling in front of Khama's armored Cadillac Escalade to try and distract the protection team. Using a special sniper scope one of Medusa's group tried to penetrate the Escalade with armor piercing ammunition. The special ceramic armor on the body of the car and the ballistic armored glass managed to keep the Botswana's leader safe.
There was a bigger challenge this time. The CIO had been known to have used chemical and biological agents to attack enemies of the state. Using an unknown method of delivery Medusa and the Red Scare intended to panic the entire African continent with a chemical hit ! The team would have to isolate the terrorists so Ruffbo and Frank could go after the deadly Medusa. Drones were already gathering photographic intelligence. Other members of the Team , posing as diamond experts were heading to the capital of Botswana, Gaborone.
At 1600 hours, British Airways flight 676 touched down at the Sir Seretse Khama International Airport in Garborone, Botswana, with Ruffbo and Frank aboard. They were posing as tourists. After exchanging their dollars for pula , the local currency, they took a taxi to their hotel located on Queens road. It had been a week since their briefing and now they knew when and where the Red Scare would make their attempt on President Khama. The good leader was scheduled to attend the opening of the new wing of The National Museum and Art Gallery nearby at Independence and Queens road in two days. It was Monday so there wasn't much time for the team to work the details out.
Ruffbo and Frank used room service for their meals . They studied the intelligence photos that the recon element had produced. Medusa and her team had entered the country using the cover of a nondescript International aid agency exactly a week ago. The problem was that their trail was cold from that point on. This didn't faze Ruffbo. Yo Frank ! No bitches and no Fighto beer. This is going to be a rough op ! Ruffo barked out his complaint. Frank just scratched the scorpion tattoo on his right forearm and tried his hardest to ignore his four legged partner. The Team would have to locate Medusa with a cell phone intercept. Hopefully before Wednesday !
Frank cleaned his silenced MP5 machine gun , Ruffbo checked out his earphones , paw guns and special night vision goggles as they both waited for new intelligence. The next day, Tuesday they got the break they needed. The Red Scare intended to use a company that was catering the museum event to deliver the chemical agent ! Medusa and her team was going to pose as contracted bomb sniffing dogs to make the hit. It was a good plan. While they were supposedly checking for explosives they would place the chemical agents in the food that would be served to President Khama.
Ruffbo and his Team had take out Medusa before the
event ! Using cell phone intercepts they tracked down the staging area for the Red Scare and Medusa. They were in a nearby Car Rental agency that was owned by a Zimbabwe businessman. In the back of the ground floor of the Rental agency , a three story building, Medusa had set up her command post. The back door faced a main road and top floor had a bridge to another building. This was going to be tough ! It would have to be a night entry !
The Botswana government set up a phony street work project near the car rental agency as a distraction. They had an uncover police unit posing as street repairmen. They would go about repaving a stretch of the road just 50 meters from the front of the car rental agency. Another unit had the bridge to the other building under observation. At 2300 hours, The Team staged in back of a large construction truck nearby. Everyone put on their night vision gear, checked commo, and went over the building layout.
During the day listening devices had been covertly inserted in the building by a police unit posing as a cleaning crew. Medusa and her wardog team had been grabbing a nap and missed all the signs that something wasn't right. She had every reason to be confident. The bomb sniffing cover was airtight and the CIO actually owned the catering company. They were well bankrolled and had a bogus group of refugees as armed backup. Yet her dog sense still told her to double check everything. Her group intended to exfiltrate Gaborone by use of a helicopter that was provided by the ISI. That was the Pakistan connection trump card which the Zimbabwe government and the CIO didn't have knowledge of !
The Team six op leader known only as Ringo held the final briefing at 2340 hours. It was desirable to capture some of the terrorist from the Zimbabwe side but clearly the Red Scare team and Medusa were slated for elimination. Whatever documents could be obtained would be a plus. Ruffbo had been monitoring the dog chatter of Medusa and her team. They were all armed but their human part of the op, the bogus refugees hadn't arrived on the scene yet. This was the window of opportunity providing the element of surprise.
Part of Ruffbo's team started to make silent entry via the main entrance to the building. They easily circumvented the standard alarm system of the car rental agency. The terrorist didn't have a clue that they had been compromised so no special cameras or alarms had been installed. It was a low profile op for the Red Scare. Team six snipers positioned themselves in overwatch positions from a nearby building and from on top of the construction truck. Ruffbo and Frank posing as tourist on a stroll headed towards the back door.
When Ringo gave the execute command Ruffbo,Frank and ten other operators breached the building's back door. The surprise was complete but that didn't seal the deal. Medusa and her wardogs immediately exited the ground floor through ceiling panels using the air conditioning system to go to the second floor. When Ruffbo followed ,Medusa instantly recognized him and the fight was on. Still a lackey for Uncle Sam ! Medusa barked . Her team opened up with paw guns wounding two members of Team six. Ruffbo pushed aside Frank to cover and engaged the bitch in close combat. Medusa used a Northern dog Kung Fu style and performed a double legged back kick that knocked Ruffbo against a wall. At the same time She attempted to whirl around and stab him with special short paw spear. This was stopped by the ceramic plate in Ruffbo's dog body armor. Three human members of the Red Scare tried to stop the front entry team with AK47's but were quickly subdued. One was captured alive. The Seal snipers took out a backup force that had arrived.
Ruffbo had his paws full in his tussle with Medusa and didn't notice the brown Doberman that was approaching his backside. A burst from Frank's silenced MP5 eliminated the threat. Then there was deafening roar as a grenade exploded in the room. Frank yelled. I'm hit ! Ruffbo was momentarily distracted and Medusa used the opportunity to jump out a nearby window to the street below. Then
20 millimeter machine gun fire ripped through the entire room and also hosed down the building. The intensely loud sound of a hovering helicopter immediately identified the source of Medusa's salvation. She was hauled up into the helicopter. Ruffbo's nemesis vanished in the blink of an eye !
All the Red Scare terrorists with the exception of Medusa had been killed or captured. Team six had prevented President Khama's assassination and struck a blow to Robert Mugabe's regime in Zimbabwe but Ruffbo felt empty. Medusa had badly wounded his bud Frank and escaped his paws. The documents and one lone prisoner were policed up and left covertly via the large construction truck. The noise from the nearby street paving project had covered up most of the gunfire and the Botswana government had told news sources that a foreign movie company had been filming an action flick. The few people that had happened by mistakenly thought it looked like the real thing ! Imagine that !
Frank had sustained shrapnel wounds to his legs and back but would survive. Ruffbo was concerned for his bud. Team leader Ringo stayed hard . Hey Ruff ! Franks just scratched ! They were in a blacked out military transport plane headed back home. Ruffbo's ears were still ringing from the sound of gunfire. He couldn't get the thought of Medusa's escape out of his mind ! Then he felt a hand on his back. It was was Frank. He was awake now and smiling. Hey Ruff ! Don't worry you'll get another chance to wax that bitch ! Ruffbo finished the can of Fighto beer he had been drinking, put his Oakley shades on and laid down. His Team had prevented an assassination of a foreign leader and kicked serious terrorist ass ! Just another day in the life of Ruffbo , Dog Commando from Hell !
