A second helicopter landed outside the cabin, with Agent Nettles and his team rushing out. They had just cleared the other hideout cabin—vacant and most likely a decoy—and rushed to the scene to assist in the raid of the second cabin. Nettles’s partner, Agent Willis, hopped out from the helicopter as its circling blades blew gusts of wind across the tall grass, flattening all the vegetation within the area.

Nettles and Willis charged toward the cabin with their pistols out as the rest of their team followed—five men in all. The helicopter wound down as more could be heard approaching from a far distance.

They advanced from the rear of the cabin, and as they got closer, they could see Detective Landis from Bravo Team, sitting against a tree with his left leg wrapped in red-stained bandages. His face was pale and drenched and sweaty. He looked up at them warily with a sigh and held up his badge.

“I know who you are, Landis,” Agent Nettles said. “Now what the hell happened here?”

Exhausted, Landis leaned slightly to his side and pointed beyond the house. The agents looked up and could see all the back windows shattered. Shards of glass and bullet shells littered the ground. “They… they started shooting. The rest of Bravo… they went inside. I think they got him.”

Agent Willis pointed to his injured leg. “What happened? You get shot?”

“Sure did.” Landis stopped talking and winced in agony. “Did this little bandage job myself.” He tried to laugh but was in too much pain.

Agent Nettles turned to face two men from his team. “Patski. Roberson. Evacuate Detective Landis to the helicopter and get him to the medical ASAP.”

The two detectives nodded and ran toward the helicopter to grab a stretcher. Nettles slapped Willis on the shoulder and signaled ahead. “Let’s move.”

They pushed forward, past the side of the small cabin, carefully concealed by a camouflaged tarp that stretched above the cabin from two parallel trees on one side, to two parallel trees on the other. As they reached the side of the cabin, moving quickly but quietly, Nettles signaled the men to halt.

He backed against the house and held his pistol up, glancing out, around the corner. A large pickup truck not fifty feet away had its smashed front end lodged in a tree.

Two bodies lay on the ground outside the truck, riddled with bullets, their muscles and organs and blood clearly visible. One man was on his back, the other on his stomach. The driver’s face was buried in the steering wheel, covered in blood with a hole in the side of his head. He and his friends were dead. They all matched in their blue jeans and camouflaged jackets.

Faint smoke rose from the obstructed front end of the pickup. The woods beyond the carnage were undisturbed and quiet. Nettles could see a body of water far ahead past cypresses, palm trees, hanging vines, and thick underbrush. Bird calls rang out. A second county police helicopter had arrived and landed next to Bravo Team’s FBI helicopter.
