“We’re taking fire,” Marshall reported and Ava’s heart stuttered. “Where the fuck is Benny?”
“Just shot your sniper,” Benny said. “There are about fifteen men making it down the mountain to your location, Marsh.”
“How many do you see, Ava?” Cap asked.
“Four heading my way,” Ava stated.
“Take them out,” Cap demanded. “Kyle? Report.”
Nothing.
Ava took aim, and with four shots from the Barrett rifle, she killed four men. She took a deep breath, afraid that if she thought too much about it, she’d break.
Marshall kept firing behind her. This was something they hadn’t anticipated. They must have had men already on the ground before last night because they’d invoked a two-prong attack.
How could Keegan not have known about them? Where the hell was Kyle?
“Keep your eyes down the pass,” Marshall instructed her.
She kept her eye to the scope.
“We’ve got to get to the SUV,” Marshall said suddenly. “They’re coming.”
Marshall pulled her up then and started running. She struggled to keep up with him. Shots peppered the ground around them. Finally, they made it to the SUV. She hopped inside the passenger side of the vehicle, and Marshall hopped in the driver’s seat.
“We’re heading down the upper pass,” Marshall reported.
“Get her out of here,” Cap told him.
“Goddamn it!” Marshall yelled as he brought the SUV to a sudden stop.
Darkness was falling, but there was still enough light for Ava to see why he’d stopped. In front of them, maybe a hundred meters away, stood a line of men. The very middle one of them held something big on his shoulder.
“That doesn’t look good,” Ava said to Marshall.
“Cap they have an RPG, and they’re pointing it directly at us,” Marshall stated.
The line of men began advancing toward the SUV.
“They’ve got us, Cap,” Marshall said.
“No!” Cap yelled over the earpiece.
Marshall raised his hands then, and Ava followed his lead. This wasn’t good at all.
“Get out,” the lead man yelled at them.
“Do what he says, Ava. No matter what happens, you do what they say,” Marshall told her.
She nodded and slowly got out of the SUV.
The lead man made it over to her and pressed her earpiece. “Checkmate,” he said before he ripped the earpiece off her ear.
His accent proved he was Russian. She saw three other men pulling Marshall out of the SUV. Then she was blindfolded and stuffed into the back of the vehicle. She heard Marshall taking kicks and punches before they pulled him up and threw him in the back with her.
Then someone was giving orders in Russian and they were moving.
“One shot on this vehicle and I put one right between her eyes,” the lead man said, probably into her earpiece. She could feel the cold press of a gun barrel on her forehead.
