"Did you summon me?"He glanced at him and nodded approvingly.
“I see you brought your toys.” The man nervously adjusted the large gun in his arms. Careful to keep it pointed towards the floor.
“Err yeah, I assumed you wanted full battle gear. Sir.”
“Oh yeah, right, I did.  I have a special job for you.”
“Oh, what’s that Sir?” He was suddenly very nervous.

 The chancellor of the planet shifted round in his chair behind his big desk. Playing with a pen, then a paperclip, that had randomly appeared from the pile of clips on his desk.
Then to put off further what he had to tell him. He took a long drink for his stone-cold coffee. He hated the coffee, but it was better than saying what he had to
Finely he ran out of excuses.
“I have escort mission for. I need you to transport some people  for me.”
He sighed a breath of relief, at least he wasn’t going into the War Zone.

“Transport who? Where?”  Transport was generally routine and fairly easy and usually boring work.   He was suddenly not so nervous. 
“It’s like this;  I have some friends who want to go shopping.”
“Shopping Sir?” Suddenly he was nervous again.

“Yeah, and they’re as VIP as you can get. So they pretty much get what they want.”
Suddenly it began to dawn on him, What his transport mission was.
“Err  Who what were when  Sir”
“This afternoon at 1400 hours, at the main gate, The caravan consists of 10 wives of diplomats and their assorted kids. And they  want to go to the main shopping center on the other side of town.”
The only problem was there a War Zone between here then the shopping center.
