Jack resisted the urge to ask Dom for an update. Clark had just called Custer. One of the most lethal men Jack knew thought his life was in danger. The specifics did not matter. Jack was singularly focused on getting himself and as much combat power into the fight as quickly as possible.

“Ringside, Scepter, copy Custer,” Jack said. “Break, break, Reaper, this is Scepter. Divide forces. One of you stay on the boat, the other moves here. Now.”

“Reaper acknowledges all,” Cary said. “Reaper 1 on the way.”

Jack took comfort in Cary’s radio call, but he still had business to attend to. Grabbing the wall, he vaulted over the side, landing in an ankle-deep puddle of motor oil, seawater, and God knew what else.

But that was not his concern.

Instead, Jack ran for the door on the red side of Macbeth.

A blur to his right demanded his attention.

Jack was in the process of bringing his HK onto target when he realized the blur was Dom racing for the same door. In the excitement, Jack had forgotten that Dom would be stacking with him. If Clark and Ding were already in a gunfight, it made no sense for Dom and Jack to enter behind the two men, potentially placing themselves in the fatal funnel formed by the white side door.

“One coming in,” Jack hissed.

Dom jerked, suggesting that Jack wasn’t the only one who’d let adrenaline cloud his thinking.

But that was a topic for later.

Since he’d made it to the entrance first, Dom took the number-one position in the tactical stack. With his HK tucked into his shoulder and the whole of his focus centered on the rust-streaked door, the former FBI agent looked every bit the warrior he was. Jack slid around the big man, taking up a position opposite his cousin. With a stack of just two, it fell to Jack to act as the breacher. In a perfect world, Jack would have waited for Cary’s arrival before entering, since a stack of three would be exponentially more deadly. But as the sound of gunfire echoing in the building could attest, this was not a perfect world.

Jack met Dom’s gaze, and his cousin nodded.

Jack turned the door handle.

Locked.

Shouldering his HK, Jack aimed where he imagined the bolt to be and squeezed off a three-round burst. As breaching techniques went, this one was a bit unorthodox, but the flimsy metal siding would offer no resistance to the 9-millimeter rounds. Hopefully the locking mechanism wouldn’t fare any better.

The muzzle blast reflected off the wall, buffeting Jack in the face.

No matter.

Speed and violence of action were now the names of the game. The aluminum buckled under Jack’s onslaught, and the shattered remains of the bolt loomed like a snaggletooth in a jack-o’-lantern’s leer through the jagged hole the 9-millimeter rounds had created.

Jack grabbed the door handle one-handed, cranked, and yanked.

Metal shrieked, but the door swung open.

Dom flowed through the entrance, and Jack tucked in behind him.

Chaos reigned inside.

Since he’d entered from the left, Dom button-hooked in the same direction.
