CHAPTER NINE

Nico looked at the concerned faces of his teammates. He’d seen them frequently over the months after they’d all been given an honorable medical discharge from the Navy, but this was the first time they’d work together since their last op. The one that had gone seriously sideways, killing Jaydon and wounding all of them.

Now they were just as determined to rescue Jaydon’s sister, Ava. And the young woman Callie Burgess. Every one of them would put their own life on the line to protect the innocent.

And that included K9 Officer Bryce Flynn.

“Any last questions?” Nico asked as he tightened the strap of his bullet-resistant vest.

“We’re good,” Mason answered for all of them.

The goal was for them to get in and out with the women without any of the Desert Death Rays realizing what had happened.

A task easier said than done, but nothing they hadn’t faced before.

“Chief, you, Hudd, Dawson, and Dallas take each of the four sides of the building,” Nico repeated. Mason was their senior chief, but he was the one in charge of this op. It seemed strange, but he was the one who knew the layout and what to expect going in. Thankfully, they were geared up, Mason had even brought earpiece radios for them to use. “When you’ve cleared those areas, Bryce, Kaleb, and I will go in to find the women.”

“Roger that,” Dallas drawled. “Let’s do this.”

Nico nodded, then added, “Thank you. For coming to help.”

“No need, this is what we’re trained for.” Mason gestured toward the warehouse. “Let’s move.”

It bothered Nico that these men putting themselves in danger had wives and in some cases children waiting for them back home. If anything happened to them, he’d be the one responsible for the loss.

Nico quickly thrust those thoughts aside. His team was here voluntarily, and they were experts at infiltrating the enemy. He trusted in God and in their individual training. Better to stay focused on the mission.

The SEAL mantra—the only easy day was yesterday—was appropriate here.

He crouched near the warehouse that appeared to be used by the Death Rays for storage of who knew what with Bryce and Kaleb. Together as a team, they’d decided against using their respective K9s. In their SEAL ops, they’d sometimes used one dog to track the scent of a tango, but tonight, it wasn’t reasonable to go into hostile territory with three dogs. Especially not with motion cameras everywhere.

Mason, Hudd, Dallas, and Dawson hadn’t brought their K9s because the chopper wasn’t large enough to accommodate that many people and their dogs. Nico had put Zulu in the back of the SUV. Kaleb and Bryce had done the same.

Nico couldn’t deny feeling a bit lost without Zulu at his side, but he knew it was for the best. Stealth was key. They couldn’t be hampered by dogs on leashes, and leaving them off leash would only put them in harm’s way.

Even if the cameras weren’t a concern, too many unknown variables awaited them inside the warehouse.

The radio in Nico’s ear remained silent as the four men slowly crept into position.
