Prologue

"I will catch you, tie you to the post and torture you. You will feel the blood flood your brain and you will want to die. Only then will you really know who I am." - Parker

"Don't you ever dare to touch Parker because only death can save you from torment." - Jessica

This book will be written for those who love action, love suspense, and thrill to every action the members of the Waldo gang get involved in. Weapons, drugs, live meat trafficking, illegal races, corruption or prostitution are just some of the targets of James Parker, one of the best snipers America has ever had, but also one of the nightmares of the CIA, FBI and others.

Let the fun begin, the dice have been cast.

"Wherever you go, I'll follow you. I don't promise I won't want to pull the trigger." - Parker

Chapter 1 - The "system" operation

March 15, 2005

Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, New York

-Jessicaaaa! Jessicaaa

- Parkeerr, I'm here!

Parker runs wildly towards the warehouse, hoping he won't see what he imagined, but...bad luck. Jessica was tied to a barbed wire fence and there was nothing around her to grab onto to escape.

- Jessica, thank God you're alive!

Parker burst into tears and it was among the few moments when his ferocious nature snapped. Now he couldn't help but see the only girl in whom he had placed his feelings, trust and devotion, full of blood, barely breathing.

- James, I can't anymore! I can't move my arms, James!

- Hold on, my dear! I'll get you out of here even if I have to set fire to this filthy cesspool!

James calls the rescue and in 10 minutes a crew arrives with a doctor and a paramedic who stretch Jessica and take her to the ambulance to stabilize her.

- Doctor, tell me, please, that it will be fine! Tell me it's not serious!

- Sir, fortunately, the patient only suffers minor injuries, and that's thanks to you, because you called the ambulance in time. Otherwise, the condition would have worsened, because there is a risk of losing a lot of blood, even if the wounds are superficial.

- Thank you, doctor!

"I promise things won't stay like this. Whoever did this to you will pay big and heavy. I won't have peace until I get my revenge" - James said to his girlfriend, looking at her tenderly and with tears in his eyes with a few minutes before the ambulance leaves for the hospital.

Langley, Virginia

- Good morning, colonel! - said Parker, with his hand to his temple, just as he had learned in the army.

- At rest, James! I really wanted to see you. We have something important to discuss.

- I'm listening to you, sir! - said James, a little more relaxed, seeing that the general was in a good mood.

- James, I need you! Pressure is being put on my shoulders to form a team for the "system" operation and I need the best people: 5 snipers, 2 electronics and 1 doctor. You are among the best snipers the US Navy has. I want you to run this operation from the ground.

- Sir, allow me to say that I am not fit to lead this operation! I am a lieutenant and I can only lead from the position of captain.

- Keep calm, it will be solved! Tonight I will sign in the council your promotion to the rank of captain for this trip and, who knows, maybe you will be lucky and remain captain for good.

The news makes Parker enormously happy, who tries hard to control himself, waiting for the moment when he will go out the door and burst with happiness. Although he was very happy, one thought crosses his mind from one end to the other: what if I never come back? What will happen to my family? If I die?

- Sir, I don't know how to thank you! What are the details of the operation?

- Hussain Al - Bakla, mastermind of the Alçum group, wanted by Interpol, CIA, FBI and others for drug, high-risk weapons and live meat trafficking. The secret sources located him in the north of Bangladesh, in a fortress. Your mission is to annihilate Hussain, after which we will blow up that filthy place!

- Sir, how are we going to get inside?

- You will operate from a building 200 meters away, a place called "point 0". The fortress is swarmed by his men, that's why I chose 5 snipers to approach the operation tactfully. The mission of the electricians will be to secure the perimeter where you will be staying. There is a vital document in the fortress that you must retrieve before your return.

- I understand, live! Parker said stiffly.

- The ship that will take you to Bangladesh will arrive tomorrow. You have 2 weeks to complete the mission.

- Sir, I will not disappoint you. I will end the Alçum era!

Leaving the office, James breathes a sigh of relief, confident that he will succeed and willing to give everything for the team, for the country and for humanity. The tens of thousands of people who died because of this group will find peace. But, how often? What document is it about? What is hidden behind this war scenario?
