Quest of the Phalanx

Lexie's Retribution

By Mitchell Rowell Waite

Overview

As the world continues to unravel, criminals have taken control due to the impotence of government officials. As true leaders exercise authority to take back law and order, the Team Phalanx concept was designed to use highly trained and skilled Tier 1 operatives separated from the military to combat domestic terrorists on American soil. Using the same procedures, techniques, and technology used to hunt down international terrorists, Team Phalanx is a covert, government sanctioned concept to take back the country, and working with local law enforcement agencies, bring law and order back to the streets of America. The second mission for Team Phalanx takes them to the City of Angels to battle the drug lord Abaddon. Abaddon has ruled the drug trade in Los Angeles with an iron fist and killed many innocent people, including children, on his ascension to the top of the drug world. Team Phalanx is dispatched to Los Angeles to rid the streets of Abaddon's terror and send a strong message to the criminal world around the country that a new type of crimefighting force has arrived and they will meet criminals on a level playing field unlike anything they have witnessed before!

Description

In a very dangerous and uncertain world, law enforcement officers do their best to protect the innocent and punish the guilty each and every day. The challenge with this growing problem is that there are simply not enough police officers to be everywhere. Due to this societal inequity, ordinary citizens sometimes have no choice but to protect themselves. After Brad Alison lost his mother and sister in another mass shooting on American soil, and clearly understanding that criminals with high priced attorneys can use the vast sea of gray that exists in the law to get away with crimes most other people would go to prison for, he decided to take decisive action. In order to bridge the gap between the law and true justice, Brad Alison created an elite unit of former Tier 1 operatives that were often tasked to hunt down and neutralize or eliminate terrorists abroad. Due to more legal restrictions, these same warriors that possess highly developed skill sets cannot use their talents when it comes to domestic terrorists. Secretly sanctioned by high level government officials, Team Phalanx was formed to broaden the system of true justice and level the playing field. Using highly trained former military operatives to hunt down and neutralize domestic terrorists was a trial program designed to create the same fear in criminals in our country as it does in foreign lands. The mission was the same as it was during wartime: hunt down vicious terrorists (criminals), protect the innocent (non-combatants), and bring them to justice, dead or alive!
