Target Locked

Marine Ryan Robinson continues to discharge his duty despite he is challenged in life. He is incriminated by a federal agency. Ryan's girlfriend, Camilla Dickens is kidnapped and victimized and his love-relationship is ruined. Yet, Ryan is clueless of the entire scenario. Then, he undergoes lurid dreams but he fights for justice and puzzles out the mystery of the crime. The story walks us through challenges in life of a serving solider of the United States Marine Forces as he lives through emotional agony. At the same time, the story points out killings and sufferings of people in wars which are caused by hunting of materialistic objectives in the world. Young men of conflicting sides get into a war for achieving nothing but for killing their opponents only. These young men, who can make great careers in myriads of jobs, are required to join military. The recent time wars-which could be avoided-are costing young men their life and result in sufferings of their family and children!---------------------------Scene 12: 'Corporal, put me in the picture ... (indistinctly), ' said someone on radio. Ryan, via radio, talked to his command-in-officer at the control room of the US military base. He was positioned airborne on Marine AH-1Z Viper helicopter. 'We've got the picture ... in the busy marketplace, at three-way intersection we see movements and a bunker covered under the fruit stalls ... rats (insurgents) in disguise watch in all directions ... have guns installed to cover ways and foil entry ... waiting for orders ... over!'Ryan was on a rescue operation. Today morning, a bomb disposal squad of US military was deceived and kidnapped by a group of insurgent forces through a mocked planting of explosives in a town, marked as an area of conflict. Perpetrators of this crime had presumptuously moved US military personnel somewhere outside the town. They demanded a large sum of money, weapons, and other aids that should be delivered to a location near their town. They had also destroyed and abandoned communication devices and other gadgets of US squad that could transmit locations of their captivity.'Go for ground searching and start cracking down ... feasibly we can't trace the possible hideout on screen, ' advised command-in-officer on radio. 'Be on time ... don't take searching into the dusk ... Sergeant ... Sergeant Miller, report your progress ... (spoke to Sergeant Miller also).'Sgt Miller responded on radio to communicate his plans. 'The end of the thoroughfare at this end has one big rendezvous between residents ... few eyes (people watching for invaders) are visible on buildings. Possibility of hostages can't be denied here ... ground searching requires reinforcement!'Sgt Miller, on radio, spoke to Cpl Robinson. 'Corporal ... prepare to enter the town ... we go from south after chopper do the necessary blitz!''Copy ... preparing to enter the town from our end ... Viper with a crew is moving north, all targets of the marketplace are locked now, ' said Ryan, via radio, and he talked about tasks and strategies that his team might accomplish.-----------------------------------------Scene 15: Arthur said, 'She (Camilla) is sad because you're looking the other way ... she thinks you are giving her the cold shoulder! I fear you are yet hiding the ring with you! She might be waiting to get it from you ... perhaps at this moment! What I suggest, you'd display some sincere commitment to her since it is your duty to watch out for her and care for her happiness ... I can ask your mother to leave her seat so you can sit beside your lady. Go on!'Without a delay and without further ado, Ryan said, 'I'll drink to that!Arthur wanted everyone to be attentive. He asked, 'Everyone, please be quiet and pay attention to my boy!'Ryan requested Camilla to allow him to hold her hands, and said, 'Dear, you are the lady, that I can say, I see in my dreams! Without a doubt, in my life, you're the be-all and end
