******

The once green grounds with
fountains turned into a hell of
some sorts as the missiles
rammed into the tanks and
trucks without missing one. The
soldiers not in range of the
missiles and the explosions could
not also stand still as the force
took them to ground or they just
had to run for cover. The sounds
of the explosions could be heard
from almost every corner of the
house and even the soldiers
inside the building it had to take
cover to prevent splitters of glass
from hitting.
The whole building vibrated
under the first set of explosions
and when the missile hit their
targets and then the secondary
explosions came from the
explosion of the tanks
themselves as the explosives the
targets were carrying also went
off but individually and that set
off another set of explosions
which turned the bright day on
the grounds into a red one.

There were several fires and the
remains of vehicles smoldered on
the floor and hums remains
littered the floor.

The planes flew above the
grounds where they had turned
into an inferno in a matter
ofseconds and they dropped
some more bombs on the
artillery stationed at the south
wing of the house. Those ones
already knew that there was an
imminent attack and some of the
personnel had moved out of the
way but some brave one had
stayed behind and some even
opened fire on the planes but
theycould not reach them as the
planes came in hot and heavy.
The guns were trained at the jets
but the jets already knew about
their presence sp when they
came clear of the house, they
opened fire with both missiles
and guns. The missiles tore open
the heavy machine while the
guns tore into the bodies of the
soldier operating them. Screams
of wounded and dying soldiers
as they called for help which was
notforth coming since they had
locked most of the personnel
which included medical teams in
temporary holding cells and they
did not bother to bring theirs or
the little they came with were
also affected by the attacks.

“Okay people, good work” Lai
said “Let’s do one more sweep
and we can be absolutely sure
that we have taken them all out
before we report back to the
Minister; if she has a team ready
to go in, let’s make their jobs as
easy as we can.

With that, they turned around
and while coming back, they
noticed some of the soldiers
were getting up Musa said;
“Do we allow those guys walk
away so we take them down?”
Lai knew that was not a
comfortable question for him to
answer. These men were until
some minutes ago on the same
side as he and if not that they
were given orders which they
had no options but to follow
those orders to the letter.

They could have been sitting the
morning out in a barracks
somewhere and living the boring
life of a soldier in peace time but
they were called outand they
could not say no. it saddened
him because some of the men
did not even know what they
were doing. They could have
been lied to or not told what they
were going to do there and they
might not have watched the
same broadcast he did which
helped him make the decision he
took but still he could not allow
them live.

The ground assault being
planned will work better if the
soldiers were completely out of
the way and that was the orders
he got and like them down there,
he had little choice but to obey
them. He could choose to fly
away buthis conscience would
judge him; the democracy was a
lot more important than thelives
of the soldiers and he spoke into
the radio in his head gear as
coolly as he could to remove all
hints of emotions or doubt from
his voice;
