Van Blake had seen his share of war. He’d been Spec Ops back when that really meant something. After that, he did a stint with the DEA, working the jungles of Columbia. He got in a spot of trouble with a woman and some cocaine over there and got drummed out of the agency. He signed up with a private firm and shipped back over to the sandpit for two more tours before getting caught ripping off some locals of their drug money. So now he did the merc gig. It paid better than all the others combined, although sometimes the work could be spotty. Still, there were no rules and he liked that. It suited him.

Van was a big man with big muscles. He kept his hair high and tight, just like back in the day, and his body ready. He put in six hours a week on the range and could strip and reassemble any auto or semi-auto in less than a minute.

He surveyed the group of men around him in the SUV; all mercenaries like him. Men of differing backgrounds and builds and specialities, but all warriors of the highest caliber.

The group had been brought together a few days earlier and had been stationed on 24/7 call ever since, just waiting for the summons. They were moving five minutes later, weapons loaded, with night gear attached. They had been stationed in a safe house a few minutes away from the target location, and at this time of night, there had been little traffic to impede their progress.

It seemed like a lot of manpower to take out one man. Van thought it was overkill, but hey, overkill was a good thing in combat. He checked his Commando’s magazine set for the third time and made ready for battle.

The SUV started up a winding hogback and he slipped his night goggles down from their helmet mount and over his eyes. He’d studied the maps of the terrain and knew exactly how far it was to the house. The plan was simple. Kill the dogs with suppressed fire and make their way into the house. Kill the man, Gil Mason, and place the drop guns and a few red bandannas to make it look like a gang attack in retaliation and get them the flip out of Dodge. Easy-peasy. Only Van knew that sometimes things didn’t go the way you expected them too, hence the goggles already in place. He scanned the countryside as they progressed and was the only one to see the hot outlines of the men off to the side of the road a good distance from the house at the top.

Speaking through his helmet mic, he ordered his driver to stop and for the first car to keep going to the target location. His group would exit and neutralized the threat. Van didn’t know if this was Mason or a dad and son out walking their dog from a nearby house, but it didn’t matter. There could be no witnesses.
