Return fire.

But they’re not ready.

Not for this.

Not for us.

I move fast.

Close distance.

Take one down near the trucks.

Another tries to run—

Briggs gets him.

“Truck secured!” someone yells.

“Second vehicle clear!”

“Third—moving!”

I pivot—

Catch the last man trying to climb into the driver’s seat.

Two shots.

Done.

Silence falls.

Fast.

Heavy.

Final.

I move to the truck.

Rip the door open.

Look inside.

And everything in me tightens.

Women.

Children.

Terrified.

Silent.

Watching.

Waiting.
