Then Frank shouted through the storm:
“FELICITY!”
My heart nearly stopped.
“I KNOW YOU’RE IN THERE!”
Hersh pulled me farther behind him automatically.
But I couldn’t stop staring.
Frank’s voice cracked through the rain again.
“YOUR FATHER TOLD ME IF ANYTHING EVER HAPPENED TO HIM?—”
He stopped suddenly.
Looked toward the tree line.
And every instinct in my body screamed wrong.
Rook saw it too.
His weapon came up instantly.
“DOWN!” he roared.
The first sniper shot exploded through the storm?—
and hit Frank directly in the chest.
50
BLAZE
Frank’s body slammed backward into the mud.
Flick screamed.
The sound ripped straight through me.
“DOWN!” I roared again, dragging her toward the floor as glass exploded inward.
Another sniper round tore through the farmhouse window.
Shadow Division moved instantly.
Pure chaos.
Pure training.
Operators shoved furniture sideways while Wolf killed the remaining lights. Trigger grabbed Ava and Mia, hauling them behind the kitchen island as bullets hammered the outside walls.
Ava pulled out her gun and waited to see if they tried coming through the door.
Thunder exploded overhead.
Gunfire followed it.
