With the camera secured from Sierra 2, Sergeant Michael "Psycho" Sykes told JSOC he wasn't leaving the area until he found the location of former Delta Force teammate Sam O'Neill. The tone of his voice was rather convincing. The fact that Psycho just managed to take down about 30 Korean People's Army (KPA) troops in less than 10 minutes was proof that he was up to the challenge.
JSOC triangulated the signal off O'Neill's position at the same time O'Neill made radio contact. Based upon the signal, he was about 400 meters away from Psycho's current position.
There were more KPA troops in the vicinity, but Psycho planned to use his speed to get to O'Neill. After all, it only would take one decent shot to knock him down, lose control of that camera and not see O'Neill again ... unless it is in some prison reserved for guys who enjoy destroying a bunch of KPA soldiers. Revenge would certainly be painful.
His plan was challenged when he saw a team of 5 more KPA troops coming his way down the river. Psycho thought about going cloak and just sneaking away, but then didn't want to have to deal with these guys in the wide open when the invisibility wore off. So he took position near a rock, loaded his FY71 and waited. He waited for them to come into range.
Once the KPA were less than 15 feet away, he opened fire. There was merely two or three seconds from the time the first soldier fell and the last one was hit. In the end, their bodies rested in the cool water that led the way toward O'Neill.
The 400 meter run seemed like nothing, with no KPA troops in site. The terrain became elevated and O'Neill was about six or seven meters above Psycho's current position. Just ahead, Sam O'Neill waited for his buddy, his escort, Sergeant Sykes.
As they finished climbing the hill, they noticed the harbor above matched the area at the center of the photos contained on O'Neill's plane, Sierra 2. The area was dark and the cool evening skies produced a hazy fog all through the area.
What was going on down below? Psycho and O'Neill hoped they were about to find out.
