Following the meeting at number 10, Max had come straight to Hesters Copse and assembled two of the teams and their respective leaders.

Roy Smith eagle 4 would head up team two and Vas Dembo eagle 6 would head up team six.

He had given the teams a briefing on their mission and had then given them the directive to assemble their kit bags and weapons.

As the two teams left the room, Max had instructed Roy and Vas too also add two of the new AX-500 50 calibre rifles, they had tested at Warcop Training Area Camp eleven days ago.

As Roy and Vas left Max picked up the phone and contacted ICIS, Vince picked the phone up and immediately identified the call was from Hesters Copse.

“Vince here.”

“Vince; Max here, have you an update for us on our destination?”

“The Major has just given me the details from the PM; you are going into Montreal Canada and will be met by your liaison and transported down to Newark.”

“What’s our flight package from here Vince?”

“I will arrange a VC-10 from RAF Odiham for the flight, also the man Sir Richard selected will meet you there and I just need to contact him.”

“Excellent stuff Vince, just give me the heads up for the departure time as soon as you have it? I will have the teams there within the hour.”

“Will do Max, I should have it by the time you are at RAF Odiham, I’ll contact you on your Codex.”

“Speak to you in a bit Vince.”

Max replaced the phone, left the room, and went to organise his kit bag.
