21 ASSAULT

Trenton observed the people in the back of the truck with him. Ming had outfitted him with fifty of his people—mostly men—but all hard-as-nails criminals. The three armored cars they rode in lumbered along the highway into Branton.

“What time is it?� Trenton asked.

One of the men looked at his wristwatch. “Ten past midnight—right on schedule.�

Trenton and the others checked their weapons. They carried submachine guns, concussion grenades, and tear-gas bombs—all from Ming’s private stock. Everyone wore black with black face paint, and Kevlar vests, including Trenton. He didn’t want to take on damage unnecessarily. Every bout with body damage drained him and he felt, even now, he could use a full day’s sleep.

“When we find the boy, he comes back to this truck, right?� Trenton said.

Nods all around.

“If you do well, all of you will be immortal after tonight,� Trenton promised.

Some of them grinned. Others appeared skeptical.

The sliding window to the cabin unlatched and opened. A man in the passenger’s seat of the truck peered through. “Sixty seconds, everybody.�

“Here we go,� Trenton said, “and be sure you don’t harm the boy.�

Weapons locked into firing position and military issue gasmasks, carrying night-vision capability, were pulled down over their faces. The truck lurched to a stop in front of Police Precinct #7 in Branton. Trenton burst out of the back of his armored car facing the precinct’s glass and steel façade. He raised his submachine gun, with grenade launcher, and fired a grenade through the glass door into the lobby, where two officers stood, manning the security pass door.

The grenade exploded. Glass flew everywhere. “Let’s go!� Trenton ordered.

The teams from each of the three black armored cars filed out into the parking lot, fully armed. They followed Trenton toward the building. He kicked the doorframe in, leading them through.

The entire lobby of the police station had been torn to pieces. The bodies of two police officers, and several men, hands still cuffed behind their backs, lay sprawled on the debris strewn floor. The charred security door had buckled a little, but still held firm.

One of Ming’s men tried it, but couldn’t get it to budge.

“Watch out!� Trenton planted a Gortex boot near the dead bolt, kicking the door in. It gave way with a loud pop. Trenton fired on several officers coming toward the door as he ran through. The other members of his team followed him inside.

One man had been designated to cut the power. As Trenton ran through the booking room, the lights went out. The screaming increased. Trenton and his team switched on their night-vision and began to spread throughout the precinct. The only light came from emergency lamps and muzzle flashes.

Trenton grabbed one of the booking officers, pulling him out from under the desk where he had been hiding. “I want the boy Detective Stamos brought here today!�

“I don’t know what you’re talking about!� the officer said.

Trenton grabbed the man’s hand and squeezed until several bones snapped. The officer screamed in pain. “Tell me where he is, or you’ll die a slow death right here.
