Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap

Chapter One

“Thank you everyone for joining the call.” General Brushwood sat at a large oval table with his men. The mercenary team leads from around the country were on a screen in front of him. “After recent events, we found it important to get everyone together and on the same page. It’s obvious there’s been a change— an escalation of sorts— going on with the demons. We have all lost good men and women in this battle. I would like to start the meeting off by hearing from Amy.”

From every angle the general considered, the government and the mercenaries were on track to work together a lot more often than either really wanted to.

Given the events so far, from the large incursions to the attacks on both Korbin’s and Amy’s teams, they had to pull together, because if something didn’t change they were going to be burying a lot more comrades.

General Brushwood and other heads of state had wanted a face-to-face meeting, but with the mercenary teams not only bogged down by calls but short a lot of men there was no way any of them could get away long enough for a meeting like that.

Especially one that for some was clear across the country.

Due to the past relations between the government and the mercenary teams, the mercs pushed to do this thing their way.

However, setting up a secure conference call for teams across the United States was something even Derek couldn’t have done safely yet. The general’d had his team set it up so they were sure the video feed would be completely secure from prying eyes.

No one wanted government representatives talking about demons on the six o’clock news.

Obviously this wasn’t ideal for the government, but they had to meet the mercs in the middle or nothing would get done.

General Brushwood and the others knew it was an essential alliance, but they had to prove they were in it one hundred percent or the mercs would continue to work as they had for decades.

Hurting everyone in the process

The general continued, “For those from the military, Amy is the leader of Amy’s Assassins. The team was just in an ambush that left one team member dead and several others injured. Amy?”

“Thank you, General,” she said, shuffling her papers. “So, everyone now knows that we lost one of our best teammates and are tending to those injured. What you don’t know is what happened that night.”

Her voice changed. It was still strong, but with a hint of the pain the ambush caused. “It began as a normal call, and we headed out thinking it would be the usual human demon situation. However, about two thirds of the way through the fight the warehouse was ambushed by a group of humans with demon advantages. It was no longer just Damned fighting Damned. This was a tactical team, combat-trained and determined to take our team down. They had weapons and what looked to be a command structure.
