Very Rough Draft

He was hardly visible in his well thought out hiding spot. No one could ever see him, unless they knew he was there. The American Embassy was located about 100 yards away. Amir was armed with a sniper rifle, but the point of this mission was to gather intelligence. The Americans had captured an important leader connected with Al – Qaeda a few days ago. This prisoner knew too many important secrets and either had to be broken out or killed. Amir was considered to be the best at providing reconnaissance for the fundamentalist group. He was also the best sniper in the group. He was known for hardly ever missing his targets. The prisoner was not of vital importance to their operation, and his life could be taken if necessary. The American embassy was well guarded. The captive would not be held there for much longer, as the Americans would likely move him to a more secure military base. This was Amir’s best chance to get to him. Once he left the building, the prisoner would be nearly impossible to get. After about an hour of hiding, Amir saw the front doors of the facility open and out come a heavily guarded prisoner, wearing an all orange, baggy jail suit. His face was covered, but this was definitely the guy he wanted. Amir would have no option but to take him out. His position was ideal for snipping. He was waiting for a clear shot. There was a slight opening, and Amir was aimed and ready to take the shot. All of a sudden, he felt a prick in the back of his neck, and everything went dark.
Jerrold Lanford had accomplished his mission, which was a rather difficult one. He had nailed the Al Qaeda sniper with a tranquillizer dart, instantly knocking him out. Even though it would have been much easier to kill him, he was needed alive. Jerrold, an international agent working for United States intelligence, was assigned to watch over the building. They had received intelligence that a rescue operation could occur, and Jerrold was immediately assigned to the task. He was one of the best agents the government had. He was tall, about 6 feet, 3 inches and very well built, with huge muscles. Even though he was rather silent, he had an intimidating presence when he entered a room. He had a scar on his upper forehead, and had short black hair with a tattoo on the back of his neck. Everyone he had worked for valued his special set of skills, including his deadly accuracy. In fact, Jerrold had never missed a target.
Amir, as well as the original Al- Qaeda prisoner, were transported to a nearby American military base. Jerrold joined them, as he needed to get his next assignment from the base. It would be a two-hour drive to the nearest base. Three large, black Ford Explorers with tinted windows carried the various passengers. The next challenge would be to get the captives to expose their information.
After three long, hot days of waiting around, the commander of the air base called for Jerrold. The American military thought they had the location of where terrorists were planning an attack that needed to be stopped immediately. The agent would go in ahead of the rest of the US force, to see what was actually taking place. Jerrold knew that this would be a risky mission since he would have to go undercover and especially since the military wasn’t 100% sure if the intelligence was correct.
The location of the meeting spot was in the middle of the dessert, which would be a difficult spot to approach without being noticed. Jerrold was disguised, and resembled a new man. His short hair was covered with a wig, and he was dressed from head to toe. The plan would be that his car broke down, and he needed shelter until it could be fixed. With all of his skills, Jerrold had not gone undercover before. He would have to be very convincing when talking to the likely terrorist group that he would run into. Just as he planned, his car ran out of gas about a mile away from the supposed meeting spot . As he approached, Jerrold saw the building, but it looked deserted. He entered the seemingly empty building, but he felt a strike in the back of his head. His natural reaction was to fight back, instead of staying true to his undercover role. He took out the man behind him, with a solid, square punch to the face. Before he could do anything else, he was surrounded. It was a set up. The two prisoners had provided false information to their interrogators about the potential terrorist plot.. Jerrold was unable to call for backup, and was taken hostage. As skilled as he was, Jerrold would not be able to fight off all these men that guarded him.
The next thing he knew, Jerrold was in an empty room, chained to a chair. He was quite uncomfortable in this unpleasant space. He began to wonder how long he had been kept here as a hostage. The leader of the men controlling him entered the room. Jerrold immediately identified him as a leader of the fundamentalist group. All he said was “Were going to trade you for our men. If not, you’ll be killed”. The special agent knew that the trade would never happen, so he needed to break out. This would be especially difficult, since Jerrold had no idea where he was in the building, or where the other men were located. The scenario was also very difficult because he was in a windowless room. After pondering several different ways of breaking out, Jerrold knew he would have to get his captives to move him to another room in the building and make his escape attempt then. He started screaming, louder then he ever had before. The men lifted him up, and untied his legs, but his arms remained chained. There were two men in the room trying to handle them. All of a sudden, he kicked the guard in the gut, and elbowed the one behind him. With both guards scrambling frantically on the ground, Jerrold made a bolt for the hall outside the room. He saw the light from outside and ran faster then a coyote in pursuit of its prey for the door.
