Ellis approached her boss with an intel packet on General Salim Hakan on tonight’s all-new episode of “SEAL Team”.
Ellis had comprised an entire package based on everything she managed to either prove or at best assume on General Salim Hakan. She did this because all her leads were pointing to Hakan as investigated as the one responsible for the death of an American SEAL team. The team she was talking about was once the ECHO TEAM. They had been serving their time on deployment and had followed through on an order to burn whatever poppy field they might find because they were trying to clean up the area. They were trying to remove all traces of heroin because that same drug would then be turned in currency and that currency more often than not would lead to terrorism, but unfortunately, their work managed to also paint a target on ECHO.
ECHO thought they were just dealing with warlords when they burnt that field. They knew they were ticking off powerful people thought they didn’t know how powerful until they enter a house on good information and walked right into a trap. The trap is that the building had been rigged to explode. So that one misstep had cost them all their lives. It had also killed whatever source they did have and so the team that followed up on that information hadn’t known that they were going down the wrong path. They thought they should be investigating a real estate tycoon and had followed whatever it was that made him look guilty which included his secret relationship with another man.
The boyfriend had also had evidence planted against him and so it had looked like the two had become radicalized when they killed ECHO, however, Ellis hadn’t been happy with what she had seen for herself. She met and had even questioned their suspect. He wasn’t the terrorist type nor for that matter was the tycoon who was small-time. Neither of them had cared about terrorism and so the only way they could have been involved in something like killing Americans as if they had been pressured into it. The fact that both men were gay was something that was still a taboo over there. The liberals in the region had just as much problem with it as the radicals and so someone finding that out could have held it over their respective heads.
Ellis had looked into it and she came to see the evidence against the homosexual relationship had all been planted. They hadn’t wanted to kill Americans and more importantly, they didn’t have a motive, so Ellis looked into who did. She found out about the poppy field mission and had thought a warlord was behind what happened as well. She had planned a target packet for someone else and it had gotten approved in time for Jason’s team to take care of the target. They found the guy and took him out of commission, but it turns out he had sold the poppy field that the Americans and that someone else had bought it. Someone more powerful and so that led Ellis to Hakan who was for political office and who had just received backing from the United State government.
Hakan had allegedly bought that poppy field and it had been his money that the American had burnt to the ground. Therefore, Hakan had a reason for revenge. He either ordered or one of his people ordered the death of the Americans and Ellis’s packet detailed all that she found along with her opinion on Hakan’s culpability. She detailed why Hakan needed to be apprehended if not killed rather than be allowed free where he could commit further atrocities and she mentioned whatever happened next will be him acting while under the recommendation of the United States. And so Ellis got her boss to accept the packet yet he told her that he would have to kick up further upstairs and so she told the others that they were going to have to wait on this one.
Ellis reminded them that it took two hundred days for the approval on the Osama mission and that until then they just had to carry on with the rest of the job though this latest mission they were supposed to be carrying out was one they all dreaded. They were going to be acting as security for a congressional delegation. The delegation was flying in to see first-hand the war on terrorism. The SEALs on the other hand knew that it the delegation was just one giant photo-op. They had to protect people that wanted to take pictures to show they were doing something when in actuality they were looking for photos with cute Afghani that they could use for when they next ran for office. And that made everyone feel sick.
They didn’t want to baby-sit anyone and so it was unfortunate that they still had to do it despite their personal feelings on the matter however this congressional delegation in particular had made it harder on the SEALs to do their job because they kept issuing orders. They told the SEALs where they would go and they even added someone to their delegation. They asked Hakan to go along with them and that had truly riled up everyone. They knew what Hakan was and couldn’t do anything about it. They just had to go with the flow and so they took the delegation to the hospital for their photo-op and then they got word of something. They found out an assassin was in town right as they learned the delegation had been threatened.
The threat was real and they had tried to warn the delegation, but the congressmen still wanted to go to the hospital and so they went to the hospital. They had a near miss that wasn’t really anything and that made them look jumpy. The SEALs had warned the congressmen that they shouldn’t hold a conference outside and were ignored. They then went outside with the delegation and the assassin struck. He shot Congressman Alper in the leg and had killed Hakan. Hakan it seems was the target all along and so that meant there was someone more powerful than even him that had been pulling the many strings from the beginning. And so all Ellis had to operate on was the fact that this person believed their assassin was still alive.
THE END!
