MYSTERIOUS ISLAND (9)

by John Yeo

Diamond Jack had his hideout next to the Rattle Snake river.
Jack a wolf whisperer was famous for his efforts to reintroduce the gray wolf into the wild, 300 miles away in New Hampshire. The Brigadier had recruited him to go on ahead and prepare the way for the assault on the Alaskan laboratory.
Marg and Angelo boarded a small boat and approached the complex by water. A torchlight twinkled as arranged and they landed to find Jack. Grinning he said he had taken out the wolves using knockout drops delivered by darts and they had just one hour to do the job. Angelo and Jack went off to deal with the guards, and lay the explosives leaving Marg to infiltrate the building alone.
Shooting broke out in the grounds. A figure dashed out followed by a large wolf. The firing got closer and Marg took the opportunity to enter the lab. Suddenly there was a mighty explosion!
Some days later……………

MYSTERIOUS ISLAND (8)

by John Yeo

She was unaware that she was being watched.
As she left the helicopter at Junea airport in Alaska, Marg met with Angelo, a member of Don Francisco’s organisation.
Together they would penetrate the remote laboratory where Dr Dickus worked and steal a very valuable formula, then destroy the lab.
Shots rang out, Angelo grinned, and put his foot down hard on the accelerator to get clear of the airport. “It’s OK you were tailed, but we have taken them out!”
Approaching a densely wooded complex containing the lab, Marg was reminded of the yellow Jeep with Alaskan number plates that had been close behind her in the UK.
Angelo was familiar with the terrain and he was to play a key role in the assault from the lake side.
Smiling he asked Marg how she felt about wolves as Dickus was famous for his pet wolf and he was guarded by the rest of the pack.
Then amazingly—-

MYSTERIOUS ISLAND (7)

by John Yeo

They finally made their escape …….

 Racing down a remote country lane the car following closely, swerved suddenly, and blocked the road to prevent pursuit by the motorcyclists.

 Marg was whisked through customs and boarded the yacht to find the Brigadier with several of her former colleagues already aboard. A meeting was hastily arranged to discover the identity of the informant inside the organisation. The suspect became obvious and one of the team left on a mission.

 The journey to the familiar island was uneventful. The Brigadier and his team conducted several meetings where Marg became aware of her role in the up-coming operation.  Marg was to play a key role infiltrating and securing information on Dr Dickus, a rogue scientist who was in control.
 Six weeks later she was aboard a helicopter to a mystery destination known only to her and the Brigadier. As the helicopter made the approach to an airfield in the USA——-

MYSTERIOUS ISLAND (6)

by John Yeo

“Racing down into the atmosphere, the unidentified object crashed, leaving behind one heck of a huge crater and a plume of smoke that could be seen from miles around.”

The news presenter went on to describe the ensuing chaos. All flights from London’s Heathrow airport were cancelled until further notice. Marg snapped off the rolling news programme and immediately contacted the Brigadier’s organisational London number for instructions. Marg was informed transport would arrive to take her to Dover, where she would meet Captain Scarlett on the super yacht “Bue Dreams”. A limousine called at Marg’s office promptly for the journey, suitcases were stowed in the boot and Marg was on her way to the docks. As she settled back in luxurious comfort, the car picked up speed cruising through the countryside.

Two very powerful motorcycles screamed alongside the car forcing the driver off the road. Marg kept her head, ducked low, and reached for her cellphone. Suddenly the driver put his foot down and took off leaving the motorcyclists behind, neither of them noticed the innocuous car close behind.

MYSTERIOUS ISLAND (5)

by John Yeo

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Silently as the people watched, the black hawk helicopter lifted into the air
The detonation of a rocket laid waste to one of the outhouses. Under attack and in danger, Marg and the team were quickly whisked away through a door leading to a flight of stairs down to a concrete bunker in the basement. Ripples of shock visibly ran through everyone as they raced down the stairs through a maze of tunnels emerging an hour later in a farmhouse, about a mile away. Marg managed to hitch a ride to the airport where she was soon safely on a flight back to England.
Later, Marg heard the sad news, several members of the Don’s family had been killed in the surprise raid. The plans laid at the meeting were to be put into action as revenge for this insult was now a matter of urgency. Marg was expected to report to the mysterious Island for training. The Brigadier was hopping mad~

MYSTERIOUS ISLAND (4)

by John Yeo

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The house of Don Francisco sat in a remote part of the desert.
Very luxurious and secure, Marg knew of the connection between the Brigadier and the Don, she had visited before with the team. She sat stunned as the express letter was thrust into her hands and the courier melted away into the crowd. The summons came out of the blue, where to meet the helicopter that soon whisked her away to Morocco, for a private emergency conference with the two men. Security was at a very high level and men with guns and viscous looking dogs were everywhere.
Marg was feted and the proposition was outlined. Marg was ordered to return to the mysterious island and undergo special training in infiltration methods. We need you to get information and to join some special forces to bring down our rival business associates. Marg looked askance. “Do I have a choice?” The Brigadier smiled knowingly.
Suddenly there was a huge explosion outside~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As the year wound down to a close they gathered around the table and raised their glasses.
Marg could hardly believe the way time had flashed by since her recruitment into this shadowy financial organisation. These people were her colleagues and friends celebrating a year long programme. The recruitment process had been intense, the six-month training period with her fellow operatives had been hard and psychologically demanding. Marg had come through it all with flying colours and the Brigadier, who she had first met on this mysterious island was delighted.
The operation to infiltrate and destroy an illegal business cartel had gone off perfectly, the leader was eliminated and his assets and infrastructure taken over by the Brigadier. Marg now comfortably off was sworn to silence on pain of death, still in the clutches of the Brigadier.
As a successful private investigator with various other business interests she now mixed with a variety of very wealthy clients and friends. Then one fateful day to her horror…….

MYSTERIOUS ISLAND

by John Yeo

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Donning her fins and snorkel she headed out into the deep water.

She entered the water making as little splash as possible to avoid alerting the guards on the mysterious island. Her mission was to steal a very valuable painting that had been stolen from a London art gallery and was now part of an eccentric millionaire’s private collection. Reaching the shore, she checked a waterproof canvas tube slung over her shoulders and unfastened an infra-red torch from her belt. Making her way to the centre of the island she encountered no guards and to her great surprise the door at the rear of the mansion was unlocked.

Creeping silently through the dark mansion she found what she was looking for and took her knife out from the sheath attached to her belt, to cut the picture from the frame.

Suddenly light blazed out.  A smiling man pointing a gun right at her said. “Welcome little mermaid, we have much to discuss.

MYSTERIOUS ISLAND (2)

by John Yeo

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They say that life is a game of chess.

This was illustrated very clearly by her present predicament. Marg froze as she stood staring at the pistol held by someone who’s picture she had only ever seen in newspapers and on the television news.

“I have been expecting you. Our mutual friend has now departed in the yacht. I have been following your progress. You are a very brave lady, but greed is a very powerful motivator”. Marg could do nothing  to bluff her way out of this crazy situation as she realised she had been used as a pawn in a much larger game. “What do you want?” She stammered, full of questions. “Why Me? Why go to a lot of trouble to entice me here? I am only an ordinary person. I have nothing, I was hired to come here by your colleague!”

“Just a minor inconvenience my dear we needed to test your courage and resilience”~
