Gunshots rang out as Jesalyn fired a volley of three-round bursts from the sunroof of the black UAZ Patriot. The soviet equivalent of a jeep that she fired at swayed from side to side to avoid the suppressive fire. Frustrated, Jes slammed her hand down on the roof, “Fucking keep it straight, Hendrix!!!”

  “I would if they weren’t shooting back!!!!” he barked as he tried to lessen the sway he had done to evade the incoming fire of their pursuers.

  “I got this!!!” Marsden exclaimed as he popped the pin on a frag grenade and cooked it just long enough that when he tossed it at the oncoming jeep. The violent explosion had made the jeep fly up, flip to its left as it spun twice, and landed on its roof.

  As Jes slid back down from the sunroof, she eyed the wild, dark-haired man with contempt. “Was that really necessary?”

  “Yes, they just fucking blew up the hostel we were at!!!” he shouted, “I think that calls for BOOM!”

  Jesalyn growled at him, “At least tell me you finally got a hold of the Team.”

  Marsden shook his head disappointedly. “Nothing but static. They couldn’t be jamming our signal, could they?”

  Jesalyn’s face shifted from angry to worry in less than a heartbeat,” That would mean they knew about us before the op started.”

  “Heads up! The warehouse is just ahead, and it looks like they knew we were coming!!” Hendrix yelled as he yanked the wheel to the right as he hit the brakes.

  Without hesitation, Jesalyn shoved the passenger side door open with some effort, bringing the silenced Serbian short-barreled M 90 to bear. She took aim at three men, who had been stunned by the reckless maneuver. Three quick trigger pulls, and the men all dropped dead from head shots as their brains violently exited out the back of their skulls in a red mist.

  One thunderous gunshot followed Jesalyn’s three round volley from behind her. Before she could turn around to see who shot her eye caught a fourth man falling from the top of the warehouse. She completed her turn to see Hendrix with his M1A smiling. “Can’t let you have all the fun, Jes.”

  Jes put her left index finger to her lips. “Shush, I thought we agreed quietly.”

  Hendrix looked at Marsden and pointed. “He went boom first.”

  Jesalyn shook her head, “Let’s go dig the team out of trouble.....
