Chapter 12: Antique Tanks

Liam and his teammates approached the Tiger tanks with great caution. He had hoped it would be as easy as walking up, hopping in, and driving away, but he was pretty sure it wouldn't be that simple. Nothing was, these days.

The tanks weren't sleek and modern-looking like the M1 Abrams tanks which were the mainstay of popular American culture—both from movies and news broadcasts from wars overseas. These were boxy and angular, with flat sides and rectangular plates which covered the treads on each side. Two big exhausts hugged the back side, and the large turret on the top held the deadly gun toward the front. Liam fought against the urge to run up and climb all over one of them like playground equipment...

“Well, this is what we came to get,” Jason said as they walked along the backside of the building.

“You think someone is guarding them?” Lana asked.

Liam said nothing, but kept his eyes on the windows near the tanks. Someone was here in the last twelve hours, at a minimum. He didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

“Maybe, but we called this in. They'll be expecting us if they're up there, just as Liam said. We might as well act like we own the place.”

Liam had discussed this pickup with Hans. The man seemed anxious to help and said he was doing it because he really wanted what was coming to him after he was left behind. The tanks were his, and he'd get them. Thus, he needed Liam and the others to follow through on their end by hoofing it to the tanks, and bringing them back to him. He was very forthcoming overall, though he admitted he couldn't predict who, if anyone, would be at the drop. Also, Hans gave no clue how an elderly man would be able to operate the tanks, much less climb into one...

“Lower your weapons,” a man called out from a second floor window. Liam couldn't see him, but it sounded like it came from right on top of the tanks. “We've got you. Just come in nice and slow and no one gets hurt, right?”

A man in dark tactical gear walked out of the building, near the far tank. He had the mannerisms and dress code of a professional soldier. His swagger as he approached Jason was apparent.

“My men have you bracketed. Don't bother doing nuthin' stupid, m'kay? We're just here as a precaution. Heard the gunshot earlier and figured that's where you'd be coming from.”

Liam's blood pressure soared as he tried to be casual. Though they didn't wear uniforms, he recognized the man's appearance as matching the men Duchesne traveled with. Both back on that bridge over the highway and when they were carrying his boat down at the riverfront. Plus, he'd seen plenty of bodies in the Riverside Hotel with matching equipment. Sort of a cross between ninja and infantryman. He figured the NIS was involved in this, but seeing them in person again rattled him.
