Chapter Seventeen

“Abort! Abort!” Raider’s sharp, strident voice echoed through the comm. He didn’t wait for Wrath to intervene and approve. “Repeat. It’s a trap. Tangos approaching from north side. Abort!”

“We can’t leave the bodies. I’ve got one. Fuse, you’ve got the other.”

“Roger that, Wrangler.”

“Banner. Provide cover.”

“Affirmative.”

Moving as fast as possible through the house and out the front door, Fuse and Wrangler exited first, Banner holding back, all rushing toward the protection offered by the other two teams. Staying low, they dashed across the open expanse as shots hit the ground around them while Teams A and B returned fire. Stumbling, Wrangler righted himself before ducking into the cover of the thick vegetation.

“At least twenty hostiles approaching from behind us, Ghost.”

“Roger that, Wrangler.”

The instant they disappeared into the underbrush, Rock spoke through the comm. “Team B. Make sure those sonsofbitches get no closer.”

“Affirmative, Rock.”

“Team A. Blanket the area with frag grenades to support Team B.”

“Roger that, Ghost,” Gunner responded.

Fargo and Gunner threw the lethal weapons. The resulting blasts sent shrapnel within a radius of fifteen meters. Screams and a lull in return fire told them they’d done their job. If not lethal, they’d slow the hostiles’ advance.

“Rock. Are you and your men able to assist Team C back to the rendezvous spot?”

“Affirmative, Ghost. We’ll provide cover until they board.” Two helos were to be ready to whisk the teams out of the area.

The tat tat tat of automatic fire came through the comms at the same time Wrath gave another order. “Team B. Hold off tangos while C and A load into the helos.”

“Roger that, Big Bird,” Rock answered. “Team B will confirm they’re aboard before we withdraw from our position.”

Tracker threw additional frag grenades while Rock and Moses used their M4 carbines to blanket the area, keeping the hostiles occupied.

“They’re flanking our left side, Rock,” Moses shouted through the comm, shifting to sweep his M4 across the area.

Shouts of those wounded and dying mixed with exploding grenades, yet the return fire didn’t stop. Glancing around the cover of a thick pine, Rock saw six more tangos emerge from behind the house, advancing in their direction.

“Shit. Where the hell are they coming from?” Tracker dropped to the ground, squeezing off several more rounds, followed by Rock and Moses.

“Teams A and C loaded. Team C helo flying out. Team A waiting for you. Get your asses over here, Rock.” Ghost’s sharp voice burst through the comm.

“More hostiles advancing,” Rock answered, unable to withdraw with bullets flying inches above his head. “We’re pinned downed, Ghost.”

“Enough of this shit,” Ghost muttered. “Fargo?”

“I’ve got them covered.” Raising the shoulder-mounted anti-tank weapon, he fired an RPG, reloaded, and fired another.

“We’ve got your six, Rock. Go, go, go!” Ghost’s command preceded another RPG exploding well beyond Team B’s position while M4s covered the tangos.

“Moses. Tracker. Move out!” They looked at each other, not wanting to leave Rock. “Get your asses out of here. Now!” Rock rose to his knees, the M4 secure against his shoulder.

His shots added
