MAY 2009 – BAGHDAD, IRAQ
Souverain fires.
PIFF! PIFF!
The silencer's soft noise brings death. Her mark falls.
Anything else? I'm waiting...
Some suicide bombers hold dead man
switches. Vests strapped with C5 and hardware store shrapnel often explode when she makes the switch holders let go.
Far enough away. Won't feel the blast if this one does. Heh... Maybe he'll blow up their safe house.
Souverain has been casing this nondescript house in Sadr City for the last two weeks. Seems to be the penultimate destination for many suicide bombers.
They stop here before they go off on their missions.
Pretty sure they shoot their martyrs' videos inside.
Souverain listens. Waits.
Silence.
Nothing?
Well. He won't be blowing anything else up tonight, either. Now, time to get back to the green zone. Getting late and early. Souverain
needs to retire so Lieutenant Lane
can get some sleep.
Her daylight hours belong to the U.S. Army as Lieutenant Lane. But she gives her nights to the innocents of Baghdad as the masked vigilante Souverain. Her way to bring them justice of some kind.
