Today’s excerpt is from Baghdad
Butcher, Book #1 of the nine-book Janitors Series featuring Jim Scott
and friends. After accepting the job to
eliminate Saddam Hussein, Jim heads to Los Angeles to verify the Iraqi drug
operation there before heading to Iraq.
A reception committee will be waiting for him as the traitor makes his
first mistake…thinking the death of Jim will be an easy matter. Enjoy and have a wonderful day.
m.j.
Less than two
hours later—after the other two members of the committee, the President,
President-elect, and General Bradley were notified—another phone call was
made…this one to Canada, to Thunder Bay, Ontario. The person called was one Acmed Buribi, who
was using the name and identity of a fictitious Mexican national by the name of
Oscar Ramirez.
Ramirez/Buribi
was the head Iraqi in North America. He
saw to the off-loading of the Iraqi drug shipments at Thunder Bay and had them
trucked to Medicine Hat, Saskatchewan.
From there they were flown, by clandestine flight, to points south into
the United States.
Ramirez/Buribi
answered the phone on the first ring.
Only one person had the number of that particular phone. Therefore, no names were needed, “Yes.”
“We have a
problem. I am going to fax you the
identity and current photos of two people, one man and one woman. They are headed to Los Angeles to interface
with our people there. There is a note
on the fax as to how they should be treated.”
“Very well.”
Both men hung up
and Ramirez/Buribi waited for the fax transmission. When it came in it had the descriptions of
both Jim and Holly, as well as a photo of each.
Under that information was a two-word message, “Kill them.”
Ramirez/Buribi
read the text of the fax, placed a call to Los Angeles, and faxed the material
to a fax machine there. After he did so,
Ramirez/Buribi re-read the material on Jim, taking particular note of the
brief—but to Ramirez/Buribi, quite damning—information about Major Jim Scott’s
activities behind enemy lines during the “Great War.” When he had finished reading, Ramirez/Buribi
thought, “It will be quite an honor to be responsible for the death of this
Great Satan.”
The man called
in Los Angeles and who received the fax on Jim and Holly was the third of the
three men Holly had told Jim about, an Iraqi by the name of Aras Alwash.
Alwash at once
set the wheels in motion to prepare a welcoming committee for them. First, he had one of his men make up several
copies of Jim and Holly’s pictures and descriptions. Then he made sure that each and every one of
his men committed these items to memory.
They were all told that both must die.
That done,
Alwash, who while indeed Iraqi, was also al-Qaida, did some thinking. He had been trained personally by Usama bin
Laden, who had taken an interest in him.
Part of that training had been to be ruthless…and especially so in
cutting trails back to himself.
With that
thought in mind, he ordered the immediate death of the two Los Angeles County
Deputy Sheriffs used in the elimination of the two traitors.
That task completed,
he turned to another matter. While he
was part of the Iraqi operation, unknown to nearly anyone else in it, his first
allegiance was to bin Laden and his al-Qaida terror network. Thus his next step was to write a carefully
prepared text to bin Laden and send it by courier to the master of terror.
In his letter to
bin Laden, Alwash informed his chief that the President of the United States
had authorized one Jim Scott to kill Saddam.
Since a good portion of the raw drugs Saddam was refining came from bin
Laden and his Taliban thugs, the presumed rulers of Afghanistan, Alwash warned
of potential damage to one of al-Qaida’s money sources.
In the letter he
assured bin Laden that Jim Scott would be eliminated in Los Angeles.
