Max and the team had driven through the night in two of the vehicles back up to Washington and were now watching Yurchenko’s residence from a hundred yards down the street.

Yurchenko’s residence was a Beautiful two level style Condo close to Fallsgrove Park.

Tracy had changed into her trainers, jogging trousers and a top and was at this moment in the park doing stretching exercises.

Roy and two of his team were also discreetly positioned in the park, their task was to grab Yurchenko, Max and the three men with him were to incapacitate the two guards.

The door to Yurchenko’s residence opened and a man in a clean cut dark suit came out and cast an eye over the area, a moment later Yurchenko immerged followed by the second guard.

They walked down the steps and as the road was relatively clear crossed the street and walked fifty yards down the road before entering the park.

Max spoke into his Comms, “eagle-3 to eagle-4 our mark plus two are on their way, SITREP over?”

Roy responded, “eagle-4 to eagle-3 at the moment it is fairly quiet, I now have eyes on Tracy and she has also clocked him, over.”

“Eagle-3 to everyone game on, we are coming in from the street now, out.”

Max had prepared the plan on the way down; it was simple but operationally effective in the time they had.

Yurchenko had entered the park and opened up a newspaper and began reading it, his two guards had dropped back from him giving him space.

They had both scanned the area on entering the park and had noticed a blonde female wearing a jogging outfit engaged in stretching exercises to their right, in the distance were some other people, some running and a few walking dogs.

They had performed this duty on numerous occasions and everything they were seeing appeared normal.

Max and his two-man team had reached the park and discreetly watched Yurchenko and his guards as they began walking across the park, he gave Tracy a nod and she finished her stretching routine and began running towards the two guards, they both heard her and quickly turned around.

As she passed, their gaze followed her watching her lithe body and she gave them a smile, a few yards ahead of them, Tracy feigned a fall.

Both guards rushed forward to lend assistance; Yurchenko was engrossed in his paper and continued walking, both the guards leant forward to help Tracy up, she gave them a smile and said, “thank you!”

They never had a chance to reply, Max and his team had ran quickly up behind them and the two team members withdrew their Taser T-18 advanced stun guns capable of producing a power output fifty thousand volts and eighteen watts, creating an Electro Muscular Disruption (EMD) which temporarily overrides the central nervous system, taking over muscular control.

Both weapons had laser sighting, they fired the weapons and two electronic barbs from each Taser attached to coil wires shot forward into the backs of both guards.

Each Taser produced a five-second pulse causing both guards to violently shake from the fifty-thousand volt discharge; and as they felt their muscles seize they both collapsed unconscious to the floor.

Yurchenko had heard some commotion behind him and was turning to see his two guards down on the ground and a woman with four men around them, his face took on a panicked look.

Roy and his two men were running from the nearby cover of trees and bushes, Roy had his Taser withdrawn and aimed at Yurchenko, the laser dot clearly visible on his back, Roy fired and the electronic barbs found Yurchenko’s back.

Yurchenko felt the violent rush of electricity flow through his body; for a moment, he shook as if he was having a fit and quickly lost consciousness falling to the ground.

Roy and his team quickly approached Yurchenko’s prone body on the ground, Roy removed the barb and his men dragged Yurchenko up, the two other team members of the six-man team had been in the two vehicles and had now moved up parking alongside the park on the street.

Max’s two team members had quickly checked the downed guards removed the barbs and rolled them into the recovery position.

Max had scanned the area and it would appear their actions had gone unnoticed.

A few minutes later Yurchenko was bound, gagged and in one of the vehicles that were now both heading back to the safe house in Richmond.
