Death From the Past
Written By:Scotty Hicks

Rick Johnson was Former Military and now was just a shell of what he use to be.He now works a dead end job and never sees his daughter and son because his wife had left him right after he got out of the army after telling him that they would spend the rest of their lives together. Now his nights are filled with the sweet taste of beer and smokes. His Boss and coworkers didn't like him at all and looked for a reason to fire his ass everyday of his damned life. He often laid awake at night thanking how things could have been if his beloved wife had stayed with him instead of becoming a whore.His daughter didn't even remember who he was or what he looked like.Rick didn't have any big reason to live be he would never take his own life because he didn't want to burn in hell forever. He was a police officer and worked in one of the most dangerous parts of New York there were. He carried his Desert Eagle with him every where he went. The Military was his only family that's why he wanted back in so bad.Rick had a rank of a Lt General because he spend 95% of his life in there. Now he was a bold middle aged man that had a run down house and a car that should have been in the junk yard ten years ago.He was watching the news one night and saw that they were opening a new tourist attraction in an old nuclear fall out shelter. He couldn't understand why in the hell someone would want to spend any amount of time in a place that had no windows or room to itch your nut much less anything else.Most of the fall out shelters now days are blocked off to the general public or have been destroyed due to the things that were in them that the military didn't want us to know about. Now they are letting people in like it's some kind of fucking zoo. He thought about getting a job as a guide to show people around these places but he didn't know how in the hell he would ever get to West Virgina where this was taking place.It was not that far away but he knew his old beat up car would never make a trip like that.So like ever other hope and wish he washed it back down to the bottom of his stomach with a cold drink of Budweiser. It was six in the morning and Rick was up and getting ready for work as he did every morning.The phone rang and he tripped over his boot trying to get to it. It was his LT telling him that he need to see him in his office as soon as he got in. Rick couldn't understand why he wanted to see him so bad and what would it be about.When he walked through the door of the station his LT was standing there to greed him and rush him into his office. Jack sat down on the hard wood chair and listen to the LT tell him that some group of X military soldiers took over the nuclear fall out shelter and threatened to lunch ZX rockets into the air if they were not given a private plane and 1,000,000,000. Jack new what damage that XZ gas could do . One drop of this stuff if airborne would kill everything within a 30 mile ranger and now these people had 4 rockets that had over 400oz of this shit.He ask the General that was siting next to him who they where and what this had to do with him.Rick couldn't believe his ears when he learned that it was his old unit and that they wanted him to head the take down team on these people.This would be his chance to get back in he thought and then thought about his team, they were among the most highly trained and deadliest people that ever walked the face of this earth.He would need a team made up nothing but Navy Seals and Delta Force member to hope to have a snow balls chance in hell at taking this people down with out anyone getting hurt. After hearing what they had to say it didn't take him but a minute to say where is my uniform. He would be back in uniform back to killing the two main things he loved the most in his life. He walked out with General Jackson and stepped into his hummer and they drove off. He didn't care about his house because chances were he wouldn't be coming back!They got to the military station about an hour away and Rick went straight to get his uniform and gear from the supply room then return to the meeting room to meet his team.There were only 10 people that signed on for this black ops mission.Five Navy Seals and five Delta Force spec forces members.Rick didn't sugar coat anything and told them right up front that this may be their last mission.He told them that they were going up agents the most dangerous people they would ever meet and that these people loved to kill and love the taste of blood.Rick gave his team a day to say goodbye to their friends and family.They all loaded in a military airplane and took off from New York headed to West Virginia. When the team go to WV they all geared up and then meet with the local Nation Guard to get a update on what's going on and what his X team is asking for in return for not lunching the missiles.He was very angry to learn that they were asking for nothing more than money in return for thousands of lives. He didn't teach or train them this way and wouldn't mind kicking the dog shit out of them for what they have become. The chief of police in Charleston where this all was taking place told Rick that he wanted to just bust in there with his SWAT team and end this whole thing quick and easy.Rick told him that he would be doing nothing more than sending 15 of his men to their graves and told him a little bit about how well these men were trained and what they would do to keep themselves on top.Rick knew that once word got to John that he was the one that was heading the take down team he would get very angry very fast.John was Rick's best friend until he left him on a black ops mission about five years ago and coated Rick his military rank and everything.Rick knew that there would be no way his team could get through the front door or even through the roof.He started looking for some type of underground tunnel or pathway to gain access to this fortress.He was told about a very old tunnel just under the control room but it has not been used to even opened in over ten years.This is the only way they could get in and Rick knew that so he order his team to blow the door and check the tunnel to see if it was still passable.Once the door was open they all went inside and spread out looking for other doors or any other way to gain access to the control room.This fall out shelter had a fire system build in and if activated would spray and chemical that would disable both the men and missiles inside. All they had to do was get to the control room and pray that they had no disabled the fire system.When the whole team was inside the chief of the Charleston Police Debarment closed the door behind them so that no one could get back out if they were killed.If this team fails the only other chose the military had was to blow this fall out shelter straight to hell. Rick told his team to split up and look to an access door to the control room and they would meet back here in five.He told them that if they fount the door not to open it just come back to the meeting spot and wait for the rest of the team to return. Mike a younger Navy Seal fount a door the said weapon's hold and he did what the General had just told him not to do he open the damn door and tripped the alarm.Rick heard the alarm and grabbed for his sidearm when he saw a small group of men running towards his men with M-16 in their hands.He knew all they had were sidearms and they would be not match for a M-16 so he fired off about three rounds and then took off.His plan worked the men ran back to where he was and started looking around.Rick got behind the first man of the group and knew that this was there medic because of the red patch on his arm.He stabbed him right through the heart with his hand over his mouth the best way to kill someone with out letting the others know you did it.He killed all of them but one and couldn't find him.Mike saw the man with the rifle and shot him right between his eyes with his pistol.Mike so a sniper and a damn good one.Rick's team meet back and Mike told them that he had fount the weapon's hold about two meters back.When the team go to the weapon's hold they loaded up with guns and whatever else they could carry.Rick saw another door just past where they were and it was the access point to the control room.Rick told the others to go check it out and let him know if it was safe by dropping a flare back down.Mike and two other went through the narrow doorway and look all throughout the room for anything that even looked like a man or missile.Once they made sure it was safe Mike dropped the flare and the other joined them.Once Rick got to the top he ran over to the computer system and turned it on.He could now see the whole compound and was horrified by what he saw.These sons of bitches had thirty missiles lunch ready and pointing in all directions.He couldn't begin to tell where they would hit and how many they would kill.John was the tech guy for the missiles and told Rick and the others that these missiles were among the most dangerous of their class.Once lunched they would mix with napalm and blow up anything within a hundred mile rang of the drop point. Rick then look for the fire alarm system but John told him that wouldn't do them any good these missiles were not harmed by water.They would have to disarm them by hand and hope to God that they do not drop even one ball of the XZ gas or they wouldn't make it out alive. The team stay in the control room thought about what they were going to do to stop those missile from being lunched.Rick knew that they only had a few minutes be for word would get back to Jim that his men had been killed and how.Rick told his team that they were to go and try to get as many missiles disarmed as they could and he would deal with Jim and the others.Rick knew deep in his heart that he wouldn't make it out of this alive but may be they could save hundreds if not thousands of lives.When Rick got to the first room on the second floor he saw
