Here’s another example of how we can play one idea off of another. Maybe this guy and his spotter stopped by the CIA villa we talked about in Creativity Post 57.
They were on their way to an undisclosed location doing who knows what and stopped there to resupply.
The team at the villa was used to this sort of thing which is one of the reasons they had a 7 man team defending the place because it was used as a way-station to resupply U.S. Forces on their missions. The villa has a lot of gear/equipment they wouldn’t want raided/stolen by terrorist groups in the region.
What makes these two guys different is just how much firepower they’re carrying when they arrive. Like the two of them are looking to start a small war on their own.
They’re traveling by jeep and are friendly to their hosts but don’t talk about their mission. Their orders check out so they’re given what they need/want and they head out after dinner. Even though they were cautioned against traveling at night.
They weren’t worried about it.
That was the last they saw of the snipers. I’m thinking these guys are part of a kill-team sent into the region to sow some chaos.
At some point they get into trouble they can’t get out of and this guy loses his spotter/partner and now he’s on his own, out in the middle of nowhere, trying to survive and make it back to friendly territory.
