Everything was in order. Dylan had checked in with Mark, who was positioned at the marina, waiting for him to show up. Aside from a lack of sleep the night before, he was fine. Dylan met the small unit of men that Perry had sent over a few miles from the facility, which was tucked between clusters of hills. Kasaika was waiting for him when he arrived.

Open fields surrounded the facility for at least one hundred yards before trees offered any cover. Guards patrolled the chain-link fences around the perimeter, and there were security feeds monitoring all the activity on the premises.

The building itself looked no larger than a storage facility, but according to Cooper and Perry, the looks were deceiving. The facility went deep underground, at least fifteen levels from what the schematics of the building told them. While trying to penetrate the security on the ground level was nearly impossible, the schematics revealed drainage and vent tunnels two miles east of the facility, where the waste was disposed of, and that was Dylan and Kasaika’s point of entrance. Despite Dylan’s request to be armed, he was forced to go in without a weapon but was still positioned in the front, where Kasaika could keep the barrel of his rifle pointed at him.

Boots splashed against the thin stream of runoff water, and flashlights illuminated the large concrete tunnels they navigated. It was going to get a lot more cramped and uncomfortable before the trip was over. Less than a mile into their infiltration, the tunnels shrank to half the size, and Dylan, along with Kasaika and the three men he had with him, was forced to crawl.

Dylan scraped his knees and elbows against the concrete, his belly sliding along the wet floor until he finally made it to an intersection where the piping opened up into a small cavern, just big enough for two men to stand. A vent was directly above them that would take them into the air ducts, where Dylan and Kasaika climbed.

The air shaft ran another hundred yards and then opened up into a utility room, where they would be able to use the security codes that Cooper had given him. The five men squirmed along the narrow vents until they finally arrived at the utility room.

Air conditioning units hissed and hummed upon their entry, and Dylan pulled the key card from his pocket and slid it across the magnetic strip on the door’s locks. A light flashed green, and Dylan cracked the door open to get a look outside. The hallway was clear, and Dylan took his first step out as the last member of Kasaika’s team lowered himself into the utility room.

The hallway was dimly lit, and according to the schematics, they still had to go down one level to retrieve the computer chips. Dylan followed the path, doing his best to remember the way that Cooper had described it on the maps.

Voices echoed farther down the hall, and Dylan came to an abrupt halt.
