*****

The three of us stand dripping in the courtyard outside the warehouse. “That,” I say while breathing out of my mouth. “We’re never doing that again.”

Silas looks completely traumatized, and Hayden looks even angrier than before we crawled through the drainage pipe. “I smell like three-week-old rotten flesh,” Hayden mutters and pulls a clump of something off his shoulder. Silas turns his head and gags violently.

Shouts erupt from within, and we dive for cover. Hayden pulls out two guns and I follow with one of my own. Silas shrugs out of his jacket and swaps his shirt for a bulletproof vest. “Get me inside that left room,” he orders.

Hayden takes a deep breath, and I watch the change wash over his features. Then he rolls to the right and fires off shot after shot. The sound of bullets pinging against metal and concrete fills the air. “Go,” he shouts as he pulls out two more magazines and reloads.

Silas doesn’t hesitate and takes off, sprinting through the flying debris and sliding through the open door. He waves a hand out the doorway to signal his safety and then disappears to work. I straighten and fire off shots to cover Hayden’s reload.

We work that rhythm for what seems like an eternity until a loud hiss of air followed by several alarms cuts through the gunfire. Silas holds up three fingers from his hiding spot and I watch with anticipation as he slowly ticks his fingers down. When he pulls his hand down, the doors to the warehouse slide open with a loud, metallic shriek. “We’re in!” I call over to Hayden as he finishes his reload.

He nods twice and twists his head, cracking his neck. “I’ll cover.” Without another word, he stands to his full height, gun in each hand, and starts walking and firing. Bullets fly through the air. I crouch and sprint into the warehouse without a backward glance and pull out my other gun so that I, too, am double-fisting.

I turn in time to see Hayden walking backward towards me, swapping magazines and then continuing to rain bullets down. My eyes dart to Silas as he kicks open the door to the office he is hiding in and then back to where Hayden is aiming. “Oh fuck! Get down!” I shout and nearly tackle Silas to the ground.

The explosion shakes the ground, glass shards rain down on our heads. Smoke and flames erupt through the courtyard, engulfing everything. Hayden manages to dive to the side, his body hitting the concrete behind a steel wall as the fire roars to life.

Silas rolls out from under me and coughs. “What the fuck was that?” he practically shouts as he pulls me to my feet. My ears are ringing, and I see two of my brother, making him twice as annoying.

Hayden pulls himself to his feet with a wheezing cough. “Rogue bullet,” he mutters and reloads. I want to ask him where he is keeping all those clips, but I am interrupted by more shouting and the sound of footsteps echoing through the warehouse.
