PART I
'Credonia One', the Credonian presidential Boeing 747-400ER sat in Hanger 35 at Sutton Air Force Base awaiting President Sutton's arrival. Upon boarding the plane, Sutton would be whisked away on an international tour to discuss nuclear arms reduction with various international leaders.
Minutes later, the presidential motorcade arrives at the base. He steps out of his black 2004 Lincoln Navigator stretched limousine.
"Hey John. Ready for another back breaking trip?" he says to his secret service agent.
"Yes sir. Hopefully this trip wont be like the last where we had to turn back in mid flight to take care of brewing situations back at home." he replies.
"Yeah, me too. That sucked." Sutton says with a chuckle.
Sutton stops, poses for the camera's and photographers before ascending the steps to the mighty 747. Once on board he is saluted by the pilot.
"Hey Dan. Hows it goin'?"
"Great sir. Just to let you know, your football game was taped. It was great. The end score was..."
"Dont tell me the score knucklehead, let me watch it first"
Both the president and the pilot break out into laughter.
"Sorry sir. It was a good game. Anyway, time to get this plane off the ground. You should take your seat sir."
"Sure thing Dan. Fly safely!"
The president takes his seat in his office and buckles up. He is soon joined by his wife First Lady Echo Sutton and their 5 year old daughter Chassidy Rose Angel Sutton.
In the press section of the plane
Five members of a news crew expecting to interview the president sometime during the flight take their seats and prepare for take-off. The press secretary takes notice of the crew and gets a weird and ominous feeling, but she pushes that feeling aside as 'Credonia One' is one of the world's most secure aircraft in the world. She passes out press kits to the press representatives detailing the unclassified systems of the presidential aircraft.
"Credonia One serves the president's every move. It can be considered as the presidents flying office. This aircraft is so capable that the president can run the entire country, direct an entire war, or launch a full nuclear strike from it. In addition, it is equippted with one of the most modern and sophisticated communication systems in the entire western world. It's specifications, however, are classified due to national security reasons." she tells the reporters and news crews. After answering a few questions about the plane and the president's schedule, she quickly takes her seat while secret service agents and marines make one last sweep of the aircraft for security breaches and hazards.
"Agent one here, sector one clear"
"Agent two, sector four clear"
"Agent three, sector three clear"
"Agent four, sector two clear"
"Roger that. Credonia One is clear" says the lead sgent to the other agents and the pilots.
In the cockpit
"Credonia One, winds are two seven zero at oh-five, runway two four Left, clear for take-off. After take-off, climb to Flight level two three zero." says the tower to the pilots.
"Roger, winds two seven zero at oh-five. Following take-off, ascend to flight level two three zero. Runway two four left, clear for take-off." says Dan as he reads back his take-off clearance to the tower.
Moments later, 'Credonia One' takes to the skies and begins its ascent to FL230 (flight level 230 or 23,000 ft.)
"You may now move about the aircraft" Dan announces on the planes P.A. system.
The President's Private Office
"Another painless take-off. See, that wasnt so bad princess. You dont have anything to be afraid of, especially when mommy and daddy are right here" Sutton says to Chassidy.
"You know how she doesnt like flying Kai. Besides, you know she's only flown three times. Give her a chance to get used to it. You should take her with you more often. You two need to spend more time together anyway." says Echo.
"Yeah, I know baby. Im trying to get some time to myself so that I can spend time with the both of you, not just her, but I cant seem to get away from all of these world affairs, and that Somalian conflict is no help. It's going to take three times longer than I thought to sort things out and get it all settled."
"We both understand hunny, do what you have to do."
They are interrupted by General Mitchell Ferguson, Credonian Secretary of Defense
"Sorry to bother you sir, but the meeting is starting to discuss the Somalia situation, everyone is all assembled." he says
"Very well. I'll be in there in just a second, lemme finish something with my wife."
"Yes sir"
Turning back to Echo and Chassidy
"Well, looks like i have to get back to work. Chassidy, you know if your scared, dont hesitate to come in princess.
"O.k. daddy" she replies.
Just before leaving the room, he gives Echo and Chassidy a kiss.
"I love you both. Be back in an hour or so."
"I love you too daddy."
"I love you too hunny. Have fun"
"Yea, right"
He chuckles at Echo's comment as he heads towards the secured conference room.
Part Two
President Sutton enters the conference room. All in the room stand. He looks around to see who is there and nods to all of his cabinet members as they each say “good afternoon Mr. President” when he passes by them. He walks to the head of the old polished wood oval table. After standing in front of it, he takes hi seat and watches everyone else as they take their seat as well.
”ok, the first issue on our agenda obviously is the Somalia issue. We have not come up with a plan for completing the liberation of this country. How far along are we?’ he says
Sir, we have not yet begun composing a draft to present to you and congress. We have been concentrating our time on stabilizing the country before we begin planning to install a democratic government.” says Secretary of State Lauren Smith.
”Lets shift focus then. We need to begin making out that plan so that we can submit it to the allies for approval. By the time we get it approved, the major fighting would have ended or at least would be coming to an end.”
Back in the Presidents Office
Echo is sitting down on the couch with Chassidy, putting her to sleep. Suddenly a secret service agent knocks on the door and enters.
”Sorry ma’am, just making my rounds of the plane. Everything ok?”
“It’s quite alright John, and everything is fine.”
“Alright” John says as he exits the room and closes the door behind him.
An hour and a half later, the President emerges fro the conference room.
”Hey hun, did ya…”
“shhhh, Chassidy is sleep” Echo interrupts
”Oh, sorry” Kaimoni says with a smile.
”Its ok hun. How was the meeting> Did you come up with a plan for Somalia?”
“No, not yet. The cabinet is going to start on it today. It should be ready in a couple days. In the meantime, we are just going to continue to take over cites until we get the plan approved by the allies.” He pauses to think, then continues.
”From now until two weeks from now, my schedule will be very tight, and I wont have much free time to spend with you and chass.” *sigh*
“Awwwwww” Echo says sympathetically. She sits the president in a seat and gives him a massage.
”Don’t worry hun, after all of this, were going on vacation to Paledon Island. How’s that sound?”
No sooner had the President said that, the plane violently jolted forward, knocking the president and the first lady to the floor.
“What the hell was that?!!!” Kaimoni yells, surprised. He looks over at Echo to make sure she is ok. She senses his concern and tell him that she is ok. He the jumps up and goes over to Chassidy, who s still sleep, to wake her up.
”Geez, after that, shes still sleep. She gets it from you ya know”
Echo gives him an evil look as he turns to wake up Chassidy. Suddenly, a group of secret service agents burst into the room frantically searching fro the president and his family.
”Mr. President, Enemy F-4 fighters are attacking the plane!!!”
“WHAT? HOW MANY ARE THERE? WHAT DO THEY WANT?!!!!”
“We have spotted six F-4’s, however, if they wanted to destroy us, they could have and would have done so by now. The pilot reports that they hit our rudder so were in an alright condition”
“Who are they and what do they want?
“Not sure yet sir. We will wait for them to contact us. Were preparing your escape capsule just in case the need to use it arises.”
“Alright. Echo, and Chassidy, come with me, John, get the essential staff in the conference room now, and have secret service secure the doors. No one comes in, and no one goes out unless they have a reason. Also, have all calls transferred to the conference room the moment they come in.”
“Yes sir, im on it.”
Within minutes, the first family, cabinet members, and secret service agents gather in the conference room. The room is full of chatter of people trying to figure out what is going on.
”Ok everyone, sit down and be quiet. It is apparent what is going on here. We need to sit and wait for the terrorists to call. We will find out what they want, then we will contact the Presidential Palace. Until our call comes in, keep quiet. The last thing we need right now is confusion caused by a lot of chatter.
Sutton gets up and walks over to the windows. He catches a glimpse of the F-4 fighters escorting the plane. Suddenly, the phone rings. President Sutton walks over to the phone and puts it on speaker.
[I]”Hello, this is Kaimoni Sutton, President of the United States of Credonia. To whom am I speaking?”
“This is the terrorist who has seized control of your plane.”
“How can I help you?” The room goes qhostly quiet.
Part III To Come…………
Part III
"You can help me by listening closely and doing exactly what i want. If your cooperation is satisfactory, then you and your plane will be released in a timely fashion. If you fail to cooperate, then we will slowly disable your plane until it crashes. Do you understand me Mr. President?"
"Yes i understand. But in order to cooperate, i must know what you want."
"You will know what i want soon. We are brining you to our airstrip. We will contact you again before you begin your runway approach." The phone clicks and goes silent.
"Well, it looks as if we are powerless until we get some of our birds in the air. Excuse me while I call the palace." Sutton says as he heads for his office.
Fifteen minutes later, he returns to the conference room with a grin on his face.
"Credonian F-16's are incoming. ETA, 30 minutes."
The room erupts into cheers until the phone rings. Before the President puts it on speaker, he waits until the room is completely quiet.
"President Sutton speaking."
"Ah, President Sutton. Im sure by now you have planes in the air heading for your location, however, it is too late. It's time to land the plane. You are entering into the approach pattern as we speak. Let me make one thing clear, everyone on the plane must get off with their hands in the air at all times or they will be fatally shot by one of my guys. Everyone will then be searched for weapons once on the ground, then transported to another facility where you and the others will be held for a short period and put on another plane. Oh, and there is no use trying to make phone calls, we are jamming the radio waves with Credonian technology capable of doing so." The phone clicks and goes silent once again.
The secret service agents inform everyone onboard of the procedures to get off of the plane safely. Within minutes, they are on the ground. The president looks out the window and sees the plane surrounded by armed terrorists, all of which are wearing face masks. They also appear to be armed with M16 assault riffles and a side arm, but he could not distinguish the exact type from his distance away from them.
"EVERYONE OFF THE PLANE!!!!!" yells a man with an Arabic accent on a loud speaker system.
One by one everyone gets off the plane with their hands in the air as they descent the stairs. Once they reach the ground, armed terrorist frisk them and lead them to buses in which the hostages will be transported by to another facility.
"HURRY UP!!! HURRY UP!!!!" the terrorist yells into the speaker. His voice now has a tone of urgency in it.
The last people off of the plane are the first family. Sutton walks in front of them to ensure that if the terrorists started firing on them, he would be shot and hopefully not them.
By now, the F-16's were a mere 15 minutes away and coming in red hot with their afterburners going. A group of five terrorists run into the plane and close the hatch. They taxi the plane to a runway and take off. Suddenly, the lights around the airstrip go out, camouflaging it with the darkness of night. The 747 takes t the skies. The hostages watch as it gains altitude, then seemingly out of no where, the F-16's fly by and destroy the F-4 fighters that had previously been escorting the presidential plane before it landed. The sky lights up as balls of fire surround the plane.
After the dog fight, it appeared that all of the F-16's survived and took flank on either side of 'Credonia One'. The hostages watched in shock as the presidential plane and its escorts fly away, disappearing into the clear night sky.
'Credonia One', the Credonian presidential Boeing 747-400ER sat in Hanger 35 at Sutton Air Force Base awaiting President Sutton's arrival. Upon boarding the plane, Sutton would be whisked away on an international tour to discuss nuclear arms reduction with various international leaders.
