The Scorpions are a gang in South Beach. They specialize in hostile takeovers. Their main clientele is the POTUS. Although Mr. President doesn’t like to admit it, there are people better at their job than the U.S. army. The only reason The Scorpions aren’t in law enforcement is how they acquire their skills.
      
      The Leader is Don Monique. Don was born native Hawaiian in 1958. An American soldier killed his mother for protesting Hawaii’s statehood. Ever since he has had a bone to pick with uniformed U.S. officials. It started when Don was 10. He took a U.S. Coast Guard boat, crashed it, and waited for the reinforcements to come running. When they got there he waited to be arrested.
      
      In jail Don began his gang. It started as just three kids figuring out who was boss, but Don put a stop to that fast with a few knives and some elbow grease. The showers are a dangerous place in jail-no guards and no protection. The things you have to do to stop from getting stabbed are crazy, like hiding a ceramic knife in your anus. After his two year sentence Don came out guns-a-blazing and ready for action.

      Don met a guy named Jones in jail. Jones is good with numbers and chemicals. Jones became Don’s right hand man and they began doing jobs together. Don supplied the weapons and Jones the brains. Over 35 years the gang grew to a tremendous size. With over 300 members. The Scorpions are an army for hire, and due to their experience they are almost invincible. Being a private citizen has its advantages. The main reason being-there is no protocol or warrants.

      Don first met Mr. President when he beat him up in grade school. After that Barack would pay Don with his lunch money to solve any problems. They started hanging out together.

      At Harvard Obama ran into some problems with a bookie that took a liking to him. The bookie thought Obama was paying for college himself. The bookie thought he could work an angle towards the Obama family’s money. Little did this bookie know Obama was only at Harvard because of his academic scholarship. Barack called up Don, and after a couple days of surveillance found out where the bookie’s money was kept.

      One of Don’s good friends is a very good money launderer and found them the IRS flagged account in a few days. Money launderers are only a little different than bookies. The main difference is how they get their money. A launderer moves money to fake accounts and keeps it moving too fast for the feds to find it. Whereas a bookie is always trying to scam people out of their money, The art of scamming takes many forms. Anything from a gambler guaranteeing a win for an old lady to a weight loss pill that never comes.

      The IRS flags all accounts suspected of tax evasion. That flag makes it very hard to do anything from buy groceries to take out a loan. Our money launderer got us the bank account number and after 36 hours of moving between accounts, the money was gone from the bookie account. Now Don had to find the bookie’s ledger (a ledger is a small account book usually used to keep track of who “owes” them money and where they got their money they have). Ledgers are hard to find because anyone paranoid enough not to trust their own computer usually has an elaborate way of hiding it. Don got together a five-man team, and while Barack distracted the bookie Don and his team searched the bookies house. After pulling out all the drawers in the bookie dresser Don noticed one wasn’t as deep as the others. He took out the screws and there was the ledger and $200K cash. Don opened the bottom and took the ledger, gave it to Barry the money launderer. Barry quickly distributed the money where it was supposed to go and put the book back. The easiest way to get rid of someone’s money with out them coming after you is to say it was a federal tax audit and all the assets were frozen. Then put the ledger back and there is no trace you were there.
20 years later…


      “Hi Don, this is Barack, but as far as the country knows I’m not talking to you. We need your help; a man named Osama Bin Laden is suspected in the terrorism attacks of 9/11. He has evaded us but we finally tracked him to a compound in Pakistan. He has set up a perimeter under the Libyan government. Officially there is nothing I can do without calling on a war, that’s where you come in. Operation Neptune Spear”.

      Don’s demands are high, to be part of The Scorpions you must be at least 6”4’, weigh less than 280 lbs and be able to run a 40 yd-dash in under 4.5 seconds. The Scorpions have their headquarters/training facilities in South Beach because of the good weather all year round and the tactical position in the world.

      Don accepted Operation Neptune Spear. For the mission he requested  $10-million dollars, 10 military-grade M4A1 tactical rifles, with ACOG scopes, grenade launchers, and collapsible stocks, 3 Barrett M8A12 sniper rifles, with thermal scopes, 15 IMI Desert Eagle handguns, with reflex sights, and compensators. In addition they needed 2 Black Hawk super stealth helicopters with rappelling systems.

      Barack faced the issue of getting two helicopters. The military took very special care of these aircraft and almost never used them. When they were used you had to go through a bunch of clearance paperwork and usually 100 men would have to approve before the engines even turned on.

      Obama sent three of his secret service agents to the pentagon to talk to the Secretary Of Defense Leon E. Panetta. Mr. P as he was known in Washington, was a smart man, graduating top of his class at Santa Clara University, and 3.8 GPA at Harvard. His parents were Italian immigrants. Mr. P was very strict about the law and how the U.S. Army abided by it so this would be hard.

      At first Mr. P wouldn’t even consider letting Obama “borrow” 2 helicopters, let alone that many guns. Obama knew he would have to bring something to the table for the DOD. Obama gave Mr. P the clearance to build The Enterprise a 300 million dollar ship that would go into effect in 2027. The Enterprise was a controversial ship because it was powered by a nuclear reactor combined with a Ford ship engine. The Enterprise is the ship of the future needing virtually no fuel and lasting 25 years before being serviced it was the ultimate aircraft carrier. Mr. P accepted the offer but said the helicopters must be returned in two weeks and no one could identify them.

      Obama called Don told him to meet at Edwards Air force base in California.

      On the day of the meeting Don came with his men and they were like kids in a candy shop. They received their guns and shipped out in the belly of a plane marked Supplies. The plane would fly them and their supplies to a military base in Egypt. From there they were on their own.

      Don had recruited 2 ex-military pilots in his spare time and told them what they would be doing. It was risky but having 1 pilot instead of 2 in each helicopter would assure that if they were seen they could not be identified as Americans because the U.S. pilots fly in pairs.

      Operation Neptune Spear began at midnight on May 2, 2011.
The flight was uneventful and boring. The Snipers took out 2 guards on the lawn of the compound. It was go time the helicopters flew over and 10 men including Don repelled. The helicopters flew to sniping posts and let the snipers out. The helicopters then left. Don was given straightforward instructions. Kill everyone quietly and quickly bring the bodies back and leave no trace.

      Four of Don’s men used a charge called the javelin to blast the doors off the compound. Then the other 5 covered them and shot everyone behind the doors, making sure no bullets went astray. Fifteen men were behind the doors and within minutes all were in body bags. They then went up stairs where they found 3 of Bin Laden’s mistresses bathing and shot them. Then they burst into the main room to find 7 men guarding Bin Laden with nothing but their lives. They were quickly silenced and then there was Osama. Don walked forward with a camera and asked Osama if he planned the 9/11 attacks and he said yes. Don turned off the camera and shot him. The bodies were carried out and the snipers used rubber bullets to take out the cameras and lights. The helicopter picked them up and they were done.
