Chapter 14 - Drug Smuggling at Makran Coast

---

Scene 1: Mission Briefing at Dawn

At 0430 hours, Zayan and Ubaid stood around a tactical map inside a briefing room near the Makran Coast. Major Hamza gave them their orders.

"We've received intel that a large consignment of illegal drugs is being smuggled through the Makran Coast at 0530 hours. Their leader, Shahbaz Khan, will oversee the operation personally. Your mission is to destroy the drugs and arrest Shahbaz Khan. The Rangers stationed along the border will provide extraction and support. Keep it quick and clean."

Zayan and Ubaid exchanged glances. "Easy extraction with the Rangers—sounds like a walk in the park," Zayan remarked with a smirk.

Hamza's expression remained stern. "Don't get complacent. We don't know how well-armed or organized their crew might be. Stay sharp."

Both agents gave a nod of acknowledgment. "Let's get this done," Ubaid said confidently.

Scene 2: Arrival at Makran Coast

At 0510 hours, Zayan and Ubaid crouched atop a rocky cliff overlooking the coastline, observing the smugglers below. Several boats had arrived, and containers were being unloaded onto trucks hidden among the sand dunes. Armed guards patrolled the area, keeping a watchful eye.

"Looks like Shahbaz didn't come alone," Ubaid muttered, peering through binoculars.

"Nothing we can't handle," Zayan replied. "We take out the guards quietly, then go for the leader."

In the distance, the Rangers convoy waited, ready to provide backup on Zayan's signal.

Scene 3: Silent Infiltration

At 0525 hours, Zayan and Ubaid moved down the slope under the cover of darkness. They wore black tactical gear, blending into the shadows. As they approached the camp, two guards stood near one of the trucks, smoking and chatting carelessly.

Zayan raised his silenced pistol and took out the first guard with a precise shot to the head. Ubaid crept behind the second guard and rendered him unconscious with a swift blow to the neck.

They signaled to each other and continued, neutralizing several more guards as they closed in on the drug containers.

Scene 4: Destroying the Drugs

At 0528 hours, Zayan and Ubaid reached the heart of the operation, where piles of drugs—wrapped in plastic—were being loaded into the trucks.

"Time to torch this," Zayan whispered, setting a C4 explosive under the largest stash.

"Five seconds after we hit the detonator, this whole place will light up like a bonfire," Ubaid added, setting another charge on the second truck.

They retreated to a safe distance, and with a press of the detonator, the explosives went off.

BOOM! The trucks exploded, and fire erupted across the camp, destroying the entire stash of drugs.

Scene 5: Confronting Shahbaz Khan

In the chaos, Shahbaz Khan tried to escape toward one of the speedboats, but Zayan and Ubaid cut him off.

"Going somewhere?" Zayan asked, raising his rifle.

Shahbaz snarled and drew a pistol, but Ubaid was faster. A single shot hit the gun out of Shahbaz's hand, and he fell to his knees.

"You're under arrest," Ubaid said, cuffing the drug lord.

Scene 6: Extraction with the Rangers

The Rangers convoy arrived just as Zayan and Ubaid secured Shahbaz. With their vehicles, the agents and the arrested smugglers were quickly extracted from the coast.

"Looks like the Rangers were on point," Zayan remarked as they drove away.

"We didn't even break a sweat," Ubaid replied with a grin.

Scene 7: Mission Accomplished

Back at base, Major Hamza congratulated the team. "Good work. You destroyed the drugs and got Shahbaz Khan. That's one less racket operating along our coast."

Zayan smirked. "Just another day at the office."

As the sun rose over the Arabian Sea, Zayan and Ubaid knew this mission was just one victory in a long war. But for now, they had dealt a devastating blow to the smugglers.
