Chapter 14

“You ready?” Luke murmured as he slid his Glock from his holster.

He and D were staked out by the brick wall of the building adjacent to the warehouse. Twenty yards away, the lone guard manning the back door had halted in the middle of his perimeter sweep to light a smoke. The man was short but stocky, with a scruffy goatee and an AK-47 in his hand. The orange tip of his cigarette flared as he inhaled deeply.

Luke felt the familiar anticipation building. All they needed was Trevor’s command, but the team leader was taking his sweet-ass time giving it. Holden was already in position on the roof, waiting for the word to strike, and Trev and Sully were covering the front entrance.

Next to him, D seemed unusually wired. Normally the guy was as still as a statue, unblinking, expressionless, exuding calm strength, but tonight he was acting keyed up. Black eyes blazing with purpose, fingers tapping against his thigh.

“We do this quiet,” Luke reminded the other man. “Incapacitate, cut off their radio contact. No bullshit.”

D lifted an eyebrow. “And you’re telling me this because . . . ?”

“Because you’ve been itching for a fight since we got here. From before that, actually. I don’t know what’s going on with you, but don’t fuck this up. Stick to the plan.”

“Whatever you say, bro.”

Static hissed in his earpiece, followed by Trevor’s soft “Go.”

They sprang into action, soundlessly advancing on the warehouse and coming up behind the guard just as he flicked his cigarette on the ground. As he became aware of their presence, the man’s eyes widened, his mouth falling open. With a growl, he raised his assault rifle in a panic, but Luke kicked it out of his hand before he could pull the trigger. The AK clattered on the ground. In a flash, D got the guard in a chest lock, his forearm coming down on the man’s mouth to quiet him.

Luke picked up the fallen rifle in one swift move, then leaned in to pilfer the radio sticking out of the guard’s pocket. “Take care of him,” he muttered to D.

He was halfway to the back door when he heard the butt of D’s gun cracking down on the guard’s head. There was a thud and a rustling sound as D dragged the unconscious body out of sight.

“Kangaroo out front taken care of,” Sullivan’s voice reported. “We’re going in.”

“So are we,” Luke reported back. He readjusted his grip on the AK in one hand. From the corner of his eye, he noticed D removing a hunting knife from the sheath on his belt. The dude always preferred a blade if given the choice.

“Tango on the roof went down for a nap,” Holden disclosed. “Going in.”

Luke reached the steel door. Abby’s intel said there should be two men behind it.

It was locked, but that wouldn’t be a problem. They’d had an eye on this place since yesterday, and the bullshit secret knock these amateurs had come up with had been easy to figure out.
