    Season 1, Episode 3. The Hellfire Legacy: The Assault on Creech

    Ethan has to prove to the disbelieving commander of Creech Airforce Base that his base is wide open and an easy target for a terrorist attack.

    All he has to do put the man’s toy fighter jet back on his desk, with the camp on full alert.

    Ethan is ex-Special Forces so this should be a walk in the park. But Faraj has other plans.

    The quiet night is about to turn into hell on earth.

      Assault on Creech

      Ethan was already planning how he’d breach the camp security as he watched Colonel Shapiro moving his model YF-16 fighter further along his desk, as if his dearest friend was at risk.

      I’ll need a few things, Ethan said and waited a moment for the colonel to snap out of his mourning.

      The colonel raised both hands. Whatever you need, Master Sergeant, whatever you need. Don’t let it be said we didn’t give you what you needed. When you’re nursing your bruises. He stood up. What is it you require?

      Combats, boots, night vision goggles. That kind of stuff, said Ethan.

      The colonel led the way to the door. Follow me, then. My orderly won’t be in for a few hours. He’s a married man.

      Ethan had known many, many officers, and few would have shown any consideration for a lowly orderly. He liked the man. Pity, because he was going to make him look like an incompetent liability.

      Kelsey followed him out of the office and tugged his sleeve. He stopped, and she stood on her tiptoes and spoke into his ear. Are you nuts?

      Yes, said Ethan honestly.

      He’ll warn the guards, and they’ll be waiting for you. You know that?

      I do. No more than I’d expect.

      And when they catch you sneaking in under the wire, our whole credibility will be shot.

      He smiled. No, he said. Just me.

      He left her with a worried look on her face and walked briskly after the colonel. One other thing, Colonel.

      Shapiro stopped and waited.

      I’ll need a vehicle.

      The colonel nodded. No problem, Master Sergeant. Anything you want, you just take it. He smiled. I think a terrorist would. He pointed down a corridor. Stores are down there. I’ll see you later. He smiled briefly. In chains.

      Ethan flashed a mock salute and headed down the corridor. He was surprised to find the military stores open and manned by a young airman. Late night duty? he asked as he scanned the racks for the gear he would need.

      Only tonight… sir, the airman said sulkily.

      That’s handy, then. Ethan reprised the insincere smile. And don’t call me sir, I work for a living. Now let’s get some gear.

      Ten minutes later he checked himself out in a full-length mirror. Desert combats, boots, baseball cap, backpack and an airforce issue Sig P229 in a holster strapped to his leg by two Velcro belts. He didn’t intend killing any airmen—unless
