Part I. Israel bombs a nuclear
plant in Iran
Chapter 22. Wandering three little birds (3)
"Abdullah"
took off his helmet. He put out the rocket pendant from the collar of his
combat uniform and opened the lid. There was a picture of his sister and niece.
He said to himself.
<Let's
go to hospital to see my niece this weekend>
He
looked at the picture with love.
At
that moment, he felt the foreign object in the back of the throat.
<I
should have recovered from my cold ------->
He
coughed several times. It was as if something was about to rush out from his
body against his will. With a cough, splashes splattered over the picture.
"Abdullah" snapped down the lid of the rocket and stowed it in his
chest. He put on his helmet again.
"What
happened?".
"Elite"
asked “Abdullah” anxiously. It seemed that the microphone in his helmet picked
up the sound of coughing.
"It's
nothing. I think it's because the mission is over and the tension is
released."
But
"Abdullah" was not relieved actually. He had an anxiety left. One
small nuclear missile was still left inside of his jet fighter.
<I
have to bring back the missile to the base safely.>
He
talked to himself.
Three
jets were heading over the Persian Gulf to the Strait of Hormuz. They were leaving
further away from their homeland. They just stared at the Persian Gulf of emerald
green and the sky of deep blue unfolded before their eyes.
