What was left of the door crashed to the floor, landing on top of the screaming sentry. Bolan dove through the opening, then cut left, firing the Desert Eagle as he moved. His comm unit was going crazy, with both Seles and the men entering from the back of the building talking over each other. The four men in the middle of the warehouse had all armed themselves and were shooting wildly at the shadows around them.

Considering there wasn’t much of anything for cover, Bolan went for what was available, which was a well-shadowed nook beneath the stairs leading to the catwalk above. He took careful aim at the man closest to the bomb, and dropped him with a well-placed round in the hip. The impact spun him in a complete circle, and he dropped his weapon as he clutched at the excruciatingly painful injury. The remaining men didn’t seem to know where to focus their fire, and all three ran in opposite directions.

Seles came through the broken doorway where Bolan had entered, and didn’t hesitate to put two rounds into the chest of the man running toward him. That left two men on the floor and one on the catwalk.

Bolan scanned the metal walkway above him and spotted the man trying to pry open the wood covering the window in an attempt to escape. He moved on catlike feet up the stairs as he heard the other two men go down in a hail of gunfire at the back of the building. The FBI men were obviously a little overzealous, so it was a good thing that he’d only injured the first two, so they had someone to question when it was over.

In his earpiece, he heard Seles say, “Stand down, everyone.” A comment that Bolan himself ignored as he crept up behind the man frantically trying to escape through a window that was too small by about half. He was just a few feet behind him when some sense must have told the man that there was someone there.

The terrorist whipped around, trying to pull a cheap-looking 9 mm from his waistband. Bolan gunned him down without hesitation, the echoes from his shot loud in the relative silence of the warehouse. “Now everyone can stand down,” he muttered into his comm unit.

“Round up the ones who are alive,” Seles ordered, “and let’s get an ambulance over here. Blue Team, I want a site report in two minutes.”

Bolan left the terrorist on the catwalk for someone else to clean up and quickly made his way back down to the warehouse floor. Seles and one of his team members were standing next to the Plexiglas cube housing the bomb.

“What happened to ‘quiet and fast’?” Seles asked as he approached. “And not being a hero?”

Bolan shrugged and offered a grin. “One of the guards up on the catwalk came down the steps and spotted me through the door. I decided it was better to act than get shot while I waited for the cavalry to arrive.
