Richard- Independent- Day 28
Richard managed to hitchhike his way to the Eastern edge of New Mexico. The closer he was to John, the easier it would be accuse the man of treason. He could see the nearest Faction base in the distance. It was obviously captured from the US line, just like his driver had said. While others believed that to be an advantage, Richard knew better. The base’s weaknesses were known to every soldier to their East. As he walked closer, that fact became apparent.
A pair of fighter aircraft appeared on the horizon. The Faction’s only deficiency was in its air force. All of the military aircraft that could have been taken were either destroyed in the first week of fighting or were flown away by loyalist pilots. While the pair of aircraft in the distance could have been the newest pieces of Faction hardware, the odds were against that possibility.
The two missiles launched from the pair confirmed Richard’s assumption. The base’s entire air defense system was crippled in a matter of seconds. The weaknesses had been exploited properly.
Richard rushed to the devastation, hoping that immediate aid would solidify his position as the betrayed individual. Just before he entered the base, a group of helicopters flew overhead. They were headed in the direction of John and his allies. Richard could only hope it would leave his prey alive.
