The Last Days (2003)
“It missed by inches. A second shot ripped through his parachute—then a third, and a fourth. The ground was coming up fast. He had to concentrate. He had to choose.
“Shlomo Six under fire, we’re under fire—move, now—go, go, go.”
Akiva Ben David was shouting as he twisted his head from side to side, trying to see who was firing at him through sheets of rain. He only had a few seconds before he smashed down on the stones below. If he wasn’t dead by the time he hit the ground, he’d soon be a sittin...g duck for sure—covered with a parachute, tangled up in cords, exposed and out in the open, a good thirty or forty yards from his target.
He cursed his ground units for not being in position already. He cursed himself for having trained them so poorly. Fools. How badly did they want this to happen? They knew what was at stake. Weren’t they ready to make history? Where the heck were they?
Then he saw the shooter. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see a guard sprinting from the northeast corner.MoreLess
