“What in the world” faith
exclaimed “This bird just shot at
me Captain, I am going to break
formation and try to shake off
the darned missile”

With that, Faith pulled up and a
trail of smoke from the missile
shot at her followed her up. She
pulled vertically upwards as she
tried to take the missile of its
present height which might be
dangerous for the population
down below and she climbed
with the missile fast on her back
“This thing is laser locked,
deploying flares”

A series of lights emanated from
the back of her aircraft in several
directions and she flew away
from the outburst and the missile
went after one of the flares as
exploded, illuminating the early
morning a little.

While Faith pulled up and tried to
lose the missile, Lai, Ayo and
Musa decided they had had
enough and turned on the
helicopters.

“Okay boys, seems we will have
to take these birds down our
way: remember that there will be
people below and the people
inside it are still Nigerian army so
try to immobilize and have them
hit the ground so they can be
helped”

“You should have told them that
before they decided to shoot at
me” Faith said “Those guys could
have turned me into an early
breakfast, I am going after the
slowpoke who shot at me, you
boys can pick one out of the
others to shoot at”

Faith who had already broken off
from the rest earlier headed
towards the helicopter which
shot at her from above and
started aiming for the hull of the
helicopter. Her eyes focused on
the tracker on her screen as it
automatically focused on the
helicopter and immediately she
had a lock, she said;

“Permission to fire Captain”
“As you wish”

“I love this job” Faith said. She
pushed the red button on her
controls and she heard the
sounds of gun fire as the guns
on her F28 came to live shooting
bullets at high velocity into the
helicopter which was too slow to
even notice that it had been fired
on.

The helicopter looked like it
would take the bullets without
damage for a while and then
suddenly, the fuselage burst out
into smoke and it started to fall
down. Immediately, the fire
started, Faith stopped shooting
at the helicopter and pulled up
but turned a few distance away
to make sure it was going down
and not capable of causing
damage to anyone again.

Lai saw Faith pull away from the
rest of them on his radar and he
was not bothered about it,
during the dogfights they have
had, Faith showed that she had
the skills to shake off anything
and it won’t be much of a
problem to her.
He said;

“Okay boys, let’s take on each
and do what we have to do but
shoot to immobilize and not
completely destroy, I don’t want
too many deaths from the sky”
“Well, let’s hope another one
don’t shoot a missile at us else
we won’t be here discussing
going easy on them” Musa said
“Okay enough talking put those
birds on the floor right now”

They all broke their formation
and they each picked a helicopter
and opened fire on them just
about the same time that Faith
went on in and opened fire on
the helicopter that fired on her
and they all opened fire. Seconds
later, the helicopters were all in
smokes and falling to the ground
all around them and the jets
went back into their formation
and went around accessing the
Grounds of the house itself.

Lai noticed that the helicopter
that Ayo had shot was trying to
control its fall and was swirling
round and round while moving
sideways. It kept going sideways
instead of avertical drop and Lai
went towards it in the hope of
shooting at the tail as he saw
that it might crash and kill
everyone on board but the
helicopter went down more and
more and kept swinging to the
sides until its tail swung into the
house itself and took part of it
out.

The tail rammed into a window
and part of it stuck into the main
building which held the
helicopter for a bit and then the
tail broke and the hull crashed to
the ground. some of the
occupants saw the danger the
helicopter was in and while the
pilot struggled to bring it down
with minimum damage, had
jumped out and rolled out of the
way before it hit the ground and
they could be seen running
around the grounds.

Some of the troops stationed
around the house saw the
helicopters go down rushed
towards them and offered to
help while some looked up at the
jets flying round to see if there
are anymore threats around.

There were some tanks stationed
around the houseand the soldier
on the grounds started opening
fire on them with their rifles.

“Captain, seems those guys
down there are not friendly at all.
Do you think we should
engage?” Faith asked
