Coming from the back hallway.
I raise myweapon.
Three men round the corner.
Armed.
Shouting.
I fire.
Jace fires.
The first two drop.
The third dives behind a stack of crates.
Returns fire.
Bullets ricochet off the metal walls.
Sparks.
Noise.
I move left.
Jace moves right.
Flanking.
The guard pops up.
Aims at Jace.
I put two rounds in his head.
He drops.
"Clear," I say.
Jace nods.
We move back toward the exit.
The hallway is empty now.
The girlsare gone.
Safe.
We're almost out when I hear it.
A door slamming.
Footsteps.
Running.
