CHAPTER 14

The new moon was no more than a pale orb in the dark, star-strewn night sky as two teams of commandos landed a mile outside of the city. That afforded them the advantage of surprise.

Surprise, if even for a few seconds, was the key for a successful close quarters assault. Anyone in the home they were about to raid, located in a city they weren’t supposed to be in, would never see or hear the twelve men about to infiltrate what Hamza had thought was a secure hiding place for his shit.

Maybe Hamza would be there himself.

The intel specified that he’d left the area long ago, but those tracking him had also admitted they had no idea where he was currently so . . .

Usually more of a pessimist, Thom decided to try optimism for once and hope they got to nab both the man and his hard drives. After having lost the chance to recover the kidnapped American in Afghanistan last month, the team was due a win.

Late June in Iran could suck, with temperatures reaching into the high nineties, but at least the mile run in full gear was at night. That made for less heat for their run and less stench once they reached the city streets.

They moved like ghosts—if ghosts wore body armor. It was amazing how quietly a group of well-trained men could move even when fully kitted out, loaded down with all the gear they might possibly need for the raid.

They proceeded in formation along a predetermined route that offered the most cover and concealment, while not communicating verbally with each other unless absolutely necessary.

The state of the art comm unit in Thom’s ear beneath his helmet protected him from the one hundred and six decibels of the Black Hawk that had brought them in. It also incorporated radio communications.

More importantly, the device was smart enough to distinguish between sounds. It muffled loud noises such as explosives and large artillery, and amplified quieter sounds such as footsteps and voices.

The high-tech and pricey ear cuffs allowed Thom to hear the dog barking from within a courtyard they’d just passed. Dogs could screw up an op, alerting everyone nearby to their presence. But the squad was past the courtyard so fast they’d be long gone by the time the occupants looked outside to check. The dog could have just as easily been barking at a cat for all the homeowners inside would know.

As they neared the target, Bravo team, commanded by Mike Groenning, split off to the north to go around the back of the walled residence. Thom’s team, commanded by Grant, moved to the south to the main entrance.

Stacking up on one side of the gate that opened into the small courtyard of the house, with Brody on the other side, Thom waited.

Rocky moved into place behind him and Dawson mirrored them by moving in behind Brody. Mack and Grant, hidden in the shadows of the wall, kept watch up and down the block.

“Bravo team in position.
