an ex Navy Seal, and two other characters Alistair Stanley the executive

There are two other insignificant characters Clark’s wife sandy and is daughter
Patsy Who is married to Ding, Patsy is pregnant. The other main character is
Dimitriy Arkadeyevich Popov; he is an ex KGB agent who is now working as a
“special consultant”. He will become a very important character later in the
story. The boss (sorry I forgot his name) owner of a multi-national
Pharmaceutical company all around bad guy. Plot: Clark is the commander and in
charge of starting a new European anti-terrorist group called Rainbow Six.
Rainbow Six is split into two teams; team one and team two. These teams are the
best there is. They are based in Hereford, England, but any European country can
call on them at any time. They run three miles in twenty minutes, every mourning
at six am. Only one team is on-call at a time. The team that is not on call will
be doing live fire practices. In the first six months of being operational they
are called on three times. The first incident happens in a Swiss bank where
terrorists taken control. They also have a hostage. Team two successfully takes
them out, with only one hostage killed (he had already been killed before they
got there). The first mission helps to organize them and fix a few holes in
there planning. The second mission is in Germany; an international trader is
taken hostage in his mansion. This mission goes too well, thanks to the snipers.
No hostage deaths, but all the terrorists are killed. The last mission is they
are called upon is in Spain, where a team of terrorists take an amusement park
and thirty children. They demand their leader, a man named Jackal be released
from prison (he was the guy who took the Swiss bank).
So to take them down they use a program to disable their cellular phones,
their way of communicating, they kill the terrorists one by one till there all
dead. Only one child is killed by the terrorists. In the meantime while this is
happening, an American hires the ex-KGB agent Popov, now freelance. Popov is
hired to get people to do the job in Switzerland, the bank taking, and the
taking of the International trader in Germany. The person that has hired him is
the Boss, owner of a multi-national pharmaceutical company that has deals with
extremely deadly viruses. The Boss is extremely wealthily. Popov is living in
New York he is flying back and fourth from Europe to organize these things.
Popov in an attempt to figure out who is thwarting the operations watches the
surveillance tapes and notices the same man smoking a cigar after each take
down. He puts two and two together and comes to the conclusion that the same
team was involved in each mission. Popov goes and tells the Boss, who though his
numerous connections (one of them being Bill Henriksen leader of Global
security). The Boss finds out that the team was Rainbow Six. This worries him
because they could get in the way of his ultimate goal (you’ll find out his
plans later). So he has Popov fly to Ireland and hire some of the IRA to attack
the Rainbow Six base in Hereford, England. They Agree to do it for a handsome
fee and some weapons. The IRA men decide to go after Clark’s wife and daughter,
since they are the easiest targets. They are successful in kidnapping Sandy and
Patsy out of the hospital they work at. They use them to lure both the Rainbow
Six teams out and try to stop them. Their goal is to take out five Rainbow Six
members, enough to disable them, but they made the same mistake the men in Spain
did they used Cell phones to communicate.
