“There are other people in the proximity of the vests,” MATE offered. “The Major is about to have company.”
Oh, holy shit.

“Uh, Major, I hate to bother you, but you have company. There are six red dots, and they aren’t gators. You might need to evade them.”

“Well, then, we have to stop them,” Reaper said. “We can’t have them getting past us.”
That meant one thing.
“Let’s play games,” Jagger whispered. “I’m going to bet they aren’t Marines,” he added as they heard them in the water. They were trying to scare some snakes and gators away.
Only, Artemis’ mercenaries had a bigger issue.
A bunch of Marines who did really well in the dark when undetected.
“Go silent,” Maura said. “Divide up.”
