Chapter Thirteen

The time on board the helicopter seemed to pass frustratingly slowly.

But it did pass, and before I thought I could ever be ready, we were approaching our home base. Nerves swirled in my stomach, making me lightheaded, and my heartbeat felt like the flutter of a trapped butterfly’s wings against the inside of my ribcage. I alternated squeezing myself tight, my arms compressed against my torso, and stretching out to try to relieve some of the tension.

My hands shook as I checked my gun, making sure it was still fully loaded, even though I had yet to shoot a bullet. I felt sick with fear about what we might find, and prayed my hunch had been wrong. Around me, the men did the same thing, checking their weapons and making sure they had plenty of ammo on hand for reloading. We didn’t know what we were going to be dropping in on, and we wanted to be prepared.

“We’re approaching the area now, folks,” Jonathan said over the headset. “You might want to keep an eye out the window, watch for anything that looks out of place.”

I did as he instructed and leaned over Clay to look out at the ground below us. The helicopter started to descend, bringing the green blobs of trees and the gray snakes of roads into focus. There wasn’t much out here—it was mainly forest—but I strained my eyes trying to pick out any detail, spot anything that would give us a clue as to what was happening.

The chopper dipped lower again, and through the trees, I spotted the tall, rusted equipment of the abandoned logging site. My breath caught. We were back. Jonathan circled the area, sweeping down over the tops of the trees, so the clearing of the logging site where the entrance to the base was located came into full view. I wanted to grab hold of Clay’s hand beside me, but instead I reached to my hip and wrapped my fingers around the handle of my gun. The weapon would provide me with more protection than holding a man’s hand right now, however much I wanted to.

We were all doing the same thing, peering out the side windows of the chopper, trying to see if there was anything different we should be aware of, but, from as high up as we were, it was impossible to tell.

“Can you take her lower, Jonathan?” Isaac asked over the headset.

“Sure.”

The helicopter banked sharply to the right and started coming back around. We were going to circle back over the area. He brought the chopper lower, so it almost brushed the tops of the trees. The downward draft the huge machine created caused the branches of the trees to fan outward, leaves and twigs flying into the air, only to be whipped away by the rotor blades.

I had no doubt that if Hollan was somewhere around, he’d certainly have noticed our arrival.

“There’s nothing,” Isaac said through the headset. “Maybe we should set her down.”

Jonathan called back, “Can do, boss.
