Chapter 1

Graham, Washington

Ring. Ring.

Hello?

Major Stone?

Yes, this is Major Stone.

Sir, this is Sergeant West. Just calling to let you know that Sergeant’s James, Adams, Santiago and I are here in Tacoma.

Great! Did you all come together?

No sir. I called them last night to ask if they were here yet and they were.

The Colonel got here a few days ago, I said, and the Lieutenant got here last night. I haven’t heard from the rest of the team but when I get everyone here, I’ll have Sergeant Summers call everyone and we’ll meet at the Recruiting Station. For now, just relax and she’ll contact you guys in a few days.

Okay, Major. Thanks.

No problem.

The Phantom Warriors were starting to report in to Graham, Washington from Fort Bragg.

They were a highly Top Secret team that the President of the United States (POTUS), Vice President (VP) and the Secretary of Defense (SOD) had secretly put together.

The team was made up of fourteen elite soldiers. Eleven men and three women.

The team was the most unique team the military had ever produced. The team Commander was a Colonel; the team Leader was a Major; and the team Executive Officer was a Lieutenant. The team also consisted of three Special Forces men, three Ranger men, three Delta men and three women, one who is the Executive Officer and a Linguist Specialist. The other two women were Sergeant’s who also we’re Linguist Specialist.

The team’s primary duty was assassinations/snipers. Their secondary duty was rescue team.

The team had just finished their first mission together which took place in the Amazon Jungle in Peru.

The mission was to assassinate a Colombian Drug Lord by the name of Daniel Quinn.

He had kidnapped and taken three American women hostage who were from the University of Michigan. The women were there on an approved archeological dig in the jungle. One of the three women was Congressman Law’s daughter; Julie. She was beaten, tortured, raped and killed on video tape and then the tape had reached Washington D.C. for the POTUS to see.

After the POTUS saw the tape he decided to send the Phantom Warriors into Peru to eliminate Quinn and rescue the other two Americans before Quinn could do the same to them.

The mission started out a disaster due to the fact when the team jumped out of the C-130 plane over the Amazon Jungle, the wind had shifted and part of the team landed literally in Daniel Quinn’s backyard. Those team members were captured immediately.

Sergeant’s Hue, code name Apache; Santiago, code name Blade; and Summers, code name Angel had not been captured by Quinn’s men but landed safely about a half mile from the original drop zone undetected.

They contacted Colonel Bolton, who is the team commander, code name Eagle One who was at Fort Bragg and informed him of the situation and in turn, the Colonel called me, the team leader; Brett Stone, code name Casper.

I had been on emergency leave in Tacoma, Washington because my parents had been involved in a serious car accident.

After Eagle One had called me, I made arrangements for my accountant; Scott who also used his old code name from Vietnam; Tiny, to buy a small airplane with some of the money I had won in the Washington State lottery.

Scott and I then flew to Fort Bragg to pick up the Colonel and then we flew into Peru to help the three Sergeant’s rescue the captured team.

We were able to successfully rescue the rest of the team and the two American hostages that Quinn had prisoners in his mansion. Before we left Peru, Daniel Quinn and his brutal thugs were all dead; his mansion destroyed; several of his neighbors were dead and four drug runners that Scott had shot were dead.

When the POTUS decided to form our Presidential A-Team, he had asked Colonel Bolton where they should be station. The Colonel discussed it with Executive Officer Lieutenant Blasey and together they came up with the idea to have the team of assassins stationed where no one would ever think of looking for them. They decided to place them at an Army Reserve Recruiting Station in Graham, Washington. The team would actually pose as Army Reserve Recruiters and work out of a mock Recruiting Station.

The plan was perfect. None of the team would have to report on any military base. They could use Fort Lewis or McChord Air Force base anytime they wanted for personal reasons or training.

In late 2009, the two bases had joined together and were now a Joint Base. They had easy access to the McChord airfield and their new duty station at the mock Recruiting Station was big enough to hide the team.

Two days later after Sergeant West had called; Sergeant’s Hunter, Richardson, Keller, Hue, Maxwell, Williams and Summers all checked in with me to tell me they had arrived in Washington.

I had Sergeant Summers informed the Phantom Warriors to meet me at the Recruiting Station Wednesday morning at 1000 hours. In the mean time I made reservations for the team at Sir Charles’ Steak and Lobster for Friday evening. They had a banquet room large enough for us and I had promised the team a good meal when they arrived. The Colonel and I were also going to turn this in to an award ceremony and a possible upcoming mission briefing on North Korea.

Colonel Bolton had an appointment to meet with the Joint Base Commander later to brief him about our team. The Joint Base Commander would not be given all the details of the team or its missions, but instead would be given a letter signed by the SOD outlining the team’s top priority when necessary.

Wednesday morning we all met at our new duty assignment at the Recruiting Station and we were in for a shock. The building was owned by the government but it had been worn down quite a bit.

Our mock Recruiting Station was above a missile silo that was hidden in the ground. Our station had an elevator hidden inside one of the office’s which led down to the silo. The silo was a large area with several offices. We also had plenty of room for our gear, weapons, sleeping quarters and there was an infirmary with a full medical lab.

One of the Colonel’s concerns was our medical treatment. When the team had completed their mission from the Amazon Jungle; Sergeant’s Richardson, Hue and Santiago had gone to the Fort Bragg hospital to have their wounds treated and a lot of questions were asked as to how they got them. Being on a secret mission the questions had to go unanswered but it raised a whole lot of trouble from the Hospital Commander and he filed complainants up the chain of command.

The Colonel didn’t want us to have to go through that again so he and the SOD had come up with a solution thanks again to Lieutenant Blasey. She had reviewed some military records on Army Doctors and she had found a young doctor she had recommended to be the team’s private physical.

First Lieutenant (Doctor) Karen Hall was a graduate from the University Of Texas Medical School and had joined the Army in 2010. She had been stationed in Afghanistan and was now currently assigned to Walter Reed Hospital. She was actually involved in performing operations on two former presidents at Walter Reed. The Colonel contacted the SOD and made the recommendation.

Lieutenant Hall received orders to go to Washington DC to meet with the SOD. After their behind closed door meeting, it was official that the Lieutenant was the Phantom Warriors new physician.

The SOD made her some offers she just could not refuse. The first was if she accepted the assignment she would be promoted to Captain upon successful completion of a one year tour with the Phantom Warriors. The second was she got to stay at home the rest of the term of the current President as long as she was not needed.

The catch was she was on call 24/7 and she could not be any further then fifty miles from the team when they were at the Recruiting Station and no more then three hundred miles away when they were on a mission.

She would be assigned to the Recruiting Station like the rest of the team therefore she would not have to be present on any military base.

She was however to attend training with the team when the Colonel thought it was necessary and she must be present when the team departed for a mission and returned from their missions.

Since one of the rooms in the silo already had a medical lab, that would become her office and workstation. First Lieutenant Hall had not hesitated to take the assignment.

The team needed supplies and with the support of the SOD and the Joint Base Commander they were able to get anything they needed from either base at Lewis or McChord supply section anytime.

Sergeant’s Santiago and Richardson went to the Post Motor Pool and signed for a brand new duce in a half truck. We needed the truck to transport our weapons and gear back and forth from the base when we went on missions. When the truck was not in use, it would be parked in front of the Recruiting Station as a recruiting tool.

The SOD had also sent us boxes of recruiting paraphernalia such as posters, videos, pamphlets and other recruiting items you would normally see at a real Recruiting Station

Lieutenant Blasey sent Sergeant’s James, Hue and Keller over to the supply building to pick up hammers, nails, wood, paint, desks, desk top computers and twenty lap top computers; one for each team member and a few extra ones.

All of our supplies including the desks were brand new. Also, the SOD had all our weapons flown to Fort Lewis from Fort Bragg and Sergeant’s West, Adams and Summers went to go pick them up.

Lieutenant Blasey then had to call the Commander of the Seattle Recruiting Command and set up an appointment with him to meet Colonel Bolton. There was no doubt the Seattle Recruiting Commander had questions about our mock Recruiting Station.

The Commander of the real Recruiting Command was a Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel Bolton was a full bird Colonel.

I let Lieutenant Blasey handle all the work detail assignments and Sergeant’s Williams, Maxwell and I started cleaning up the office above the silo to get it ready to make the place look like a real Recruiting Station. The Colonel then walked in the building.

Brett, he said.

Yes sir?

"I don’t know if Sergeant’s Williams and Summers told you,
