Chapter 19
Lundyn’s Seawind was cruising at five thousand feet and though by now most of the bushfires that threatened property throughout Australia were out or well under control, there were still fires burning in areas hard to reach. The smoke from these fires meant that visibility in the air was still difficult so Lundyn kept well low of commercial air traffic. His air controller had him on a two-mile broad path down to one thousand feet so the men on board could do some searching for the vessel they were after. Later as they got into the known search area they would open out their search pattern a lot more.
Roscoe and the General were wearing shorts, light runners and cotton t shirts over which they wore light body armour vests. Lundyn was similarly dressed and in addition he had a belt and holster carrying his Rugger Vaquero. This revolver was not the best hand gun on the market but it was something of a collector’s item and looked very menacing in his hand. The very fact that it was shaped like and old cowboy Colt made people inadvertently look twice at the gun. This brief pause of action was usually all the time Lundyn needed to go in for the kill.
The men also wore light armoured hard hats with Polarised glasses to avoid glare off the sea and to be able to see objects in the bright sunlight better. The General had an old pocket knife in his shorts pocket, two grenades hanging from his armoured vest and was carrying a small assault rifle. To him the weapons were handy but in a full on fire fight he would not be a big advantage to his companions. His forte was stealth and a sudden slash with his razor sharp knife to severe a jugular or a simple but sometimes loud, snap of a man’s neck. Roscoe had one Yugo propped against the back of his seat, loaded and the other he held loosely in his hand. This was primed to be used as a grenade launcher. He also carried a large dive knife strapped to his calf in a plastic sheath. The pockets of his vest were full of cartridges for both Yugos and he had a total of six grenades ready to be launched.
Ready to deal death to the enemy at first opportunity there was a revered silence in the cabin of the small amphibian. Each man had done this many times before. Lundyn and the General had even done it in proper controlled war zones. Roscoe, a gentle giant by nature was originally an odd man out but after three attack situations with Lundyn he was by now a pro. A plan had not yet been worked out. They still had to find the enemy and then an assessment would be made as to how he would be removed from the planet. When the attack was made it would be severe and little would be left for authorities of the Australian government to investigate. No evidence of activity meant that no activity had apparently taken place. Twice before in Australia and once in the highlands of New Guinea the men had carried out surgical strikes and absolutely no sign of their violent actions were recorded, nor was any trace left. A recent adventure in Thailand was an anomaly. In that instance the offender was taken in by the authorities who had been lead to him by Lundyn and his compatriots.
