A scream echoed around the compound, making it hard to tell the direction it came from.

Tate brought up his rifle. Quickly scanning his surroundings, he took a head count.

"Where's Wesson and Cooper?"

Monkhouse shook his head. "Somewhere in the camp."

Tate fought down the panic trying to hammer out of his chest. "Rosse, Fulton, Ota, go left. Everyone else with me!"

They began to fan out when a long burst of gunfire ripped the air, stopping everyone where they stood.

Tate identified the direction of the sound and charged towards it.

The others hesitated a moment then chased after him.

Tate rounded a building, catching sight of the carnage, but all he saw was Cooper next to a mound of bodies.

"WESSON!" A splinter of horror shot through him.

An instant later, he saw Wesson on the other side of Cooper.

"Someone get Cooper," Tate yelled over his shoulder. He skidded around Cooper and dropped to his knees next to Wesson.

The rest of the team arrived a second later, and ran over to Cooper.

"You're okay. You're okay," chanted Tate, but it sounded more like pleading than a promise.

She looked up at him as he tore to get her combat vest off.

"Monkhouse, check her arms and legs."

Monkhouse immediately went to work, checking Wesson for wounds.

"How's Cooper?" shouted Tate.

"Checking," yelled Rosse, kneeling over Cooper.

His eyes were fixed straight ahead, and he didn't seem aware of Rosse next to him.

Rosse tried to take the machine gun from Cooper, but his hands had a death grip on it. Rosse put a gentle hand on Cooper’s arm and gave him a reassuring squeeze.

Cooper broke his gaze and faced Rosse, recognizing him with mild surprise.

Rosse gave him a friendly smile as he eased the gun from Cooper’s grasp. "It's okay, tough guy. You got 'em."
