CHAPTER

THIRTY

Court Gentry flipped his night observation device on his ball cap up and used his naked eyes to watch the huge fireball roll up higher than the roof of the villa, then fade to black in the moonless sky. He’d fired a dozen rounds from the levee into the diesel generator, hoping he’d get lucky, and the result was even greater than his highest expectations.

Diesel fuel was harder to burn than gasoline, but he knew a hot round puncturing the wall of the unit and sparking off metal in exactly the right part of the sixty-thousand-watt generator could ignite the pressurized fumes, and that explosion could lead to a catastrophic detonation of the entire two-ton device. He’d seen smaller diesel generators get hit by rifle fire in the field before, but he’d never seen anything like this explosion.

He was momentarily proud of himself and wished like hell somebody had been around to take a picture.

He hoped this move might slow down anyone chasing him out of the property and add to the chaos inside the villa, and since the paramilitaries who hit the house were all wearing night vision gear that would be sensitive to light, he knew that anyone near a back window when the big device blew would have to deal with annoying white-out conditions on their equipment for up to a minute or so.

Court’s own night vision goggles were flamed out for the next minute, as well, but he considered this a small price to pay.

Of course he had no idea he had been a second away from taking multiple rounds from multiple weapons when he blew the generator, but he did know he was not out of the woods yet, either literally or figuratively. There were still a lot of foreign commandos, and a lot of Vietnamese soldiers and gangsters, and they all wanted what Court had: the Chinese cyber warfare specialist.

Court turned away from the villa, still illuminated by the fire pouring out of the wreckage of the generator, and looked across the dark levee. Fan Jiang was barely visible in the bad light, but Court could see that he had fallen to his knees in a mud puddle. Fan climbed back to his feet and ran on, but Court caught up to the small man right at the tree line and snatched him by the arm, then pulled him on in the same direction, pushing with him through the thick brush and trees, though neither man could see more than a couple of feet in front of them.

The Chinese national stumbled several times; he seemed terrified, exhausted, and unable to keep up the speed Court demanded.

Court encouraged him along with curses and shoves.

—

The six surviving Russians in the villa raced out the back door, their weapons high, sweeping for threats in all directions. Zoya was last through the door, her pistol at her side, but she was the first to see a man in civilian clothing leaning around the north side of the house with a shotgun in his hands.
