John reached the bottom of the hill, and moved towards Karen’s position. When he was close, he took cover and called out to her, not wanting to frighten her by running up unannounced.

“Karen, get ready,” John yelled.

John saw Karen get up and run to the Range Rover, jumping into the driver’s seat. She watched out the window as he approached. He came around to the driver’s side and spoke to her through the open window.

“We will have company. Madeleine blew that place to hell,” John said smiling at Karen. “I’m going to stay out of the vehicle for a moment in case I have to fire on anyone following me.”

“Won’t they be more likely to chase Madeleine first, as she was closest?” Karen answered.

“You’re probably right. You’re catching on fast. We’ll be leaving in a few moments. Maybe Madeleine found Tracy.”

“I’m not going to get my hopes up until we know for sure,” Karen answered.

Karen and John heard gunfire coming in their direction.

“I’ll get in shortly,” John said. “We’ll take off when we see what Madeleine’s situation is. We should be ok if any men come from my direction. I left a few mines over by the base of the hill to discourage anyone coming from that direction. Madeleine knows not to stray over there.”

John moved around to the back of the Range Rover and opened the back doors. He pulled a large semi-automatic rifle from under the back seat. He propped it up so that he could quickly grab it. He saw lights in the distance. By their erratic movements, he could tell that Madeleine and Jack were in full flight. The headlights behind them were closing in. He watched as the vehicles got closer. He heard the roar of engines being pushed beyond their limits. Making a decision, John moved the rifle and opened the back seat. He pulled out a compact rocket launcher and readied it to fire. He took a quick look at Karen.

“I’m not going anywhere until you tell me to,” she yelled at him, engaging the clutch and the brake holding the vehicle in place.

John went down on one knee with the weapon over his shoulder. He waited until Jack’s Range Rover shot past, closely followed by the troop carrier. As he expected, all eyes in the pursuing vehicles were on Madeleine and Jack. He engaged the ready switch of the preloaded rocket launcher, sighted and fired with practiced ease. The missile shot out, impacting the front of the troop carrier, slightly behind the gun turret. The heat seeking warhead exploded, causing the vehicle to tumble violently end over end, scattering men and munitions in pieces. John leapt into the passenger seat just as Karen shot forward.

“Go right for him,” John yelled, gesturing towards the enemy Jeep still firing on Madeleine and Jack.
