That could’ve been them.
That almost was them.
Not happening.
Not again.
“They’re loading,” one of the guys whispers.
Yeah.
They are.
Which means—
We’re out of time.
I glance at the CIA agent.
He’s watching.
Calculating.
Same as me.
“Orders?” he asks.
I don’t hesitate.
“Take them down.”
Everything explodes at once.
Gunfire tears through the night.
Controlled.
Precise.
Rangers hit left flank.
CIA hits right.
Wolf and I take center.
First target drops.
Second turns—
Too slow.
Gone.
Chaos erupts.
Shouts.
Movement.
