They found a pair of night vision goggles for Josh. Whilst they were looking for a vest for him, Ethan snagged the three hand grenades from his and Kate's arsenal and all the spare ammo clips he had for the Kalashnikovs. They reloaded their weapons, and then got their guns neatly stowed under their slickers.

That finished, Malloy cut Ohlendorf loose, got him bundled up in a coat and then cuffed him. Ohlendorf still wore a hood, but that wouldn't be a problem. Except for some ambient light from various windows the courtyard was dark. Besides, in this district, a man wearing a hood and handcuffs almost seemed a part of the milieu.

Malloy, Kate and Ethan took up their headsets but left them off for the moment. At this point they needed to think about saving their batteries.

'Everybody ready?' Malloy asked. When they had all checked their equipment and nodded their assent, he pointed to Josh. 'You run interference and make sure no one comes through the storage room.'

'How do I do that? What do I say?'

'Flash your badge and say, Raus. If that doesn't work, shoot them. Once we back out of the parking spot, lock it behind us, we might need to come back.' He passed the key to Josh. To Kate, 'You're on point. Make sure no one is coming through the passage while we're getting him into the car.' To Ethan, 'I want you and Kate in the backseat. Keep Ohlendorf out of sight.'

Once Josh had secured the stairway, Kate and Ethan followed, Malloy coming up last, guiding Ohlendorf with his voice. Outside they moved quickly to get into the car. Kate was already on the opposite side of the Toyota covering the passageway. Ethan held the Toyota's back door open for Malloy and Ohlendorf. Sutter, as instructed, came out the back of the building and stood at the front of the car waiting for Malloy to pull the car out so he could lock the parking slot.

When Ohlendorf hesitated, Malloy thought the lawyer didn't want to get in the car. He had no idea where he was, of course, and he might have thought by making a scene he could get help. Then, as Ohlendorf dropped toward the pavement, Malloy felt a live round of ammo thump into his armour. There was no sound accompanying the impact. Whilst Malloy was falling, three more rounds hit within an inch of the first.

'SNIPER!' he called as he tumbled back to the pavement.
