Part Twenty-Eight (28) Of The Blogspot Novel Series By Jose Roxas Leveriza Entitled Angel Of The Lord Featuring Jason Burke CIA Operative Dubbed As The Cockroach, Hard To Kill And Hard To Find
Jason Burke saw Bader open fire. By the third report he wedged down to the crook of the right wall with the ground. Jason felt the grounding from the high voltage magnetic rails but that was safer than the rain of bullets in the air. He knew that he was out of range by the handgun’s effective trajectory. Still wayward shots could get lucky which was Bader’s desperate gamble to put him off. Jason flattened himself sideways against the bottom to offer the thinnest angle.
Jason Burke rested his head on his firing arm which held the .9MM HK and drew a bead on Bader who was now down on the ground. The small pops in the far distance from the pump action shotguns of the security detail kept up their continued staccato with a hail of ball bearing projectiles that plunked harmlessly short of the target but kept the cornered fighter pinned down as a precaution. Jason held his fire for fear of hitting the reckless spectators who encrusted the gunners like ornery barnacles.
The action changed quickly and became grimmer for Bader when a helicopter appeared in the horizon. A sniper rifle with a scope wielded by a SWAT marksman would spell doom for the besieged guerilla on the wide open elevated duct. Bader didn’t wait for the copter to hover closer. He sprang on his feet while crouching low and made for the side wall to clamber on top for a quick glance of the streets below. After a moment of hesitation, Bader took the plunge to land on top of the roof of a long passenger bus which was caught in the traffic standstill. He rolled across as soon as he impacted to cushion his fall and was carried by the momentum to a softer landing on top of a passenger utility jeep on the right. The bus suffered an ugly dent while the jeep survived with minor damage. The passengers in the smaller vehicle screamed and ran out in panic. The nearby throng swarmed like a violated beehive.
Jason watched Bader lose himself in the melee. He entertained thoughts to duplicate the feat but decided on the side of prudence. He called Richard on the GPS device with a satellite hook up. Richard’s sky camera was no good to pick up Bader’s trail in the swirling humanity. They both decided it’s pack up time for the day’s shoot. Their quarry got away again to pursue his mission to throw a monkey wrench on the agenda of the lady ambassador from the most powerful nation on earth to influence to some degree the outcome of the next presidential elections. Jason Burke was her crusader tasked to preserve her gains and impetus on the project to secure the richest underwater oilfield reserve remaining in the globe by proxy for the United States. With an exploration treaty, the favored treatment by the next Head of State, and the unmatched might of the U.S. Seventh Naval Fleet, the Spratly Isles stood to fall into the coffers of the Western Powers if only Bader could be contained and his scent detected once more.
The incumbent President of Chinese descent was talking on the cell phone to Ellebana with a field of well wishers held at bay by his phalanx of guards well out of harm’s way. Harry Sey was relieved to hear that Ellebana, his favorite niece and upstart crusading Department of Justice Prosecutor who got the position based on her own merit as a bar topnotcher over Harry’s hands off devolvement as Chief Executive, was given a clean bill of health by the doctors at the government hospital after engaging in a running gunbattle with a suspected terrorist. Harry wanted to get to the bottom of Ellebana’s mysterious handiness with a gun and so he invited her to have dinner with him at Malacanang palace the next evening. Ellebana tried to evade it but couldn’t and so the appointment was set.
Harry’s mind drew links between the unnerved condition of the lady ambassador at the private lunch earlier and the reports about an American Preacher who was involved in the incident that took the stopping of the mass transit railway to bring to an unsatisfactory denouement. His own father the mall tycoon always intimated to him that the Koumintang establishment in Taiwan who were reputedly the old man’s top financial backers would possibly come to the fork on the highway where they have to choose between the waking giant Mother China and the historical alliance with the United States in the matter of the claims to the largest remaining fossil energy source which could fuel the ballast for ascendancy to world power in the 21st Century. His father warned him that to stay on in the Presidency could make Harry a likely pawn in the ensuing proxy war.
