PREY

→ We manage to squeeze into the Farrier Harrier, even though it isn’t meant to hold more than twelve. We fly all day, Shark and James taking turns to pilot. We set down a couple of times to refuel, eat and stretch our legs. Stop at dusk for dinner at an army base, then continue through the night. I catch a few hours of sleep, using a sleeping spell to drop off.

We make our final stop shortly after nine in the morning. Breakfast, a walk, exercise. Then Shark talks us through our plans. We scour maps of the compound, Shark highlighting our route and alternatives in case we run into problems. It’s pretty simple — break in, grab Prae Athim, secure the area around her office and interrogate her there, or else abduct her and make a quick getaway.

Meera doesn’t suggest a polite approach this time. Prae Athim is way out of control. Subtlety won’t work on Wolf Island.

Shark finishes by asking for any last-minute comments or enquiries. Antoine sheepishly raises a hand. “Will you try not to cause unnecessary damage? Some of the equipment is very expensive. If we can recycle it later, we can recoup some of the costs of this debacle.”

Shark glares at Antoine. “If we come through this and I receive an invoice for wreckages, I’ll find you, string you upside down and make you eat your own brains before I kill you. Understand?”

Antoine flushes. “I was only–”

“Be quiet,” Meera snaps.

Antoine pouts, but shuts up. Shark casts an eye around. “Last chance to back out. Anyone?” Seven of the nine soldiers promptly raise their hands. “You should be in a sitcom,” Shark jeers, then claps his hands together loudly and stands. “Let’s go!”

Back on the helicopter. Within minutes we’re over open water. No retreating now. We’re in this to the bitter, bloody end.
