“Let’s move!”

Everyone, minus CJ and Adnan, who stayed and continued to try and raise the Americans, rushed out of the elevator, equipped for war. The stairs wouldn’t get used this time. They needed to conserve what little energy they had left.

Outfitted with what looked like riot gear, but could handle everything except the highest of caliber of rounds, the six men hustled forward, also carrying an assortment of weaponry.

Kel and Dada made for the front door, through the gym, heading outside to the northeastern and northwestern sentry towers. There were actually four towers in all, with the other two being constructed at the southwest and southeast. They were situated thirty feet away from the Bullpen’s main structure, acting like concrete and steel guardians.

Each man made their way to their respective positions, sporting the British made, Accuracy International AW SR-98 sniper rifle. It was standard issue for soldiers in the Australian Army. A little gift from Logan.

Fitz wanted them to use Logan’s more powerful M82, but neither man had enough practice with the much larger weapon. “Stopping power means nothing when you can’t hit the damn target,” Logan had replied to Fitz.

Kel and Dada’s jobs were to pick off any of the Nach that got past Logan, Jan, and Mo, who would be riding in the Rhino-Humvee variant.

Kel smiled and returned the gesture as Fitz did the same to Dada, signaling both men that he was ready. He was the key to this crazy plan. Hopefully, the Nach would go after the armor-plated Hummer, giving Kel and Dada an open target. Fitz was the key though, raining down explosives from above, blowing the creatures to kingdom come. The grounds outside the Bullpen were about to get very messy.

Even from this distance Kel could hear the roar of the Rhino’s engine come to life behind him. Tires squealed as it peeled out of the southern-facing garage door, veering hard to the right. It skidded in a tight arc, finally finding purchase on the concrete. Tires grabbing, it made its way around the western side of the Bullpen and headed his way.

Through his night-vision, Kel could see Mo driving, and waved at the man. Mo gave him the customary “Good Luck” thumbs up, and veered left around the sentry tower, heading for the front gate.

As they went by, Kel could see Logan, rifle at the ready, sitting upfront in the passenger seat, no doubt intending to use the FN40 grenade launcher attachment to its fullest. Jan was harnessed into the rear of the truck, holding onto the twin hand grips of the massive .
