DJ pushed into the building carefully, on the lookout for the enemy within, doing math. Four dead guys and five rounds spent, meant he had sixteen left in MP. He had three spare mags with a total of sixty-three rounds between them. Plus, there was the newly acquired Scorpion Evo with its fifty-round mag. It wouldn’t be sighted for his eye, but the distances would be close enough that it wouldn’t matter. It had open sights, and his state-of-the-art goggles would see them perfectly. Even if Sara had never bothered to zero the weapon, it would be close enough from the factory. It might only be two inches off. Still enough for a headshot for the closeup work he was doing. Ali had guessed there were maybe fifty shooters closing in. It was likely less. He had more than enough ammunition to get the job done. He tended to only shoot when he was sure of a hit.

He was impressed by the number of shooters that had been sent. Since the CIA had disavowed Seymour, the man would have had to reach deep into a hidden reservoir of cash to finance this hit. It would have been expensive to hire so many men. Another thought hit him. Traitor Sam might have already handed off the drive and Seymour cashed in some of the cryptocurrency to pay for this. If that were so, once DJ caught up to him, Carbon would have to recover what was left. And there would be a lot left. Enough to satisfy Deputy Director Hartley.

He eased up to another intersection and listened. Sure enough, he could hear the soft approach of footsteps coming down the hallway. If he waited until they reached the corner, they would be even more on guard than they probably were. He would have liked to get further in, maybe come up behind them and catch the whole group of them together. Engaging this group now meant they might radio in his position before he could kill them all. So be it, he thought. One never got to choose the cards that were dealt. You simply played the hand you had.

DJ stepped out, picking out glowing targets with his thermal goggles quickly and firing from the hip with ease. It was another four-man team. They never got a chance to radio his position as he feared. They just died as they were supposed to.

Twelve rounds in MP. Sixty-three in his spare mags.

Further in, DJ approached another doorway. For a moment, he thought he heard something. He paused and listened carefully. Hearing nothing more, he edged in closer to the doorframe and peeked in, ready to retreat from gunfire. Nothing. He had been mistaken. He stepped into the doorway, seeing another open door on the opposite side of the room, intending to follow it.

The room was a thirty-foot square. It looked to have at one time been a break room for employees. There was cabinetry on the far side room. Some of the doors were missing, others hanging askew by ruined hinges.
