Eh.
I lifted my gun and fired at another militia-trained guard.

Elliott Jones
Joel and I ran as fast as we could toward the main estate—the very spot we’d been trying to avoid. We’d wanted to keep the fight near the patios, where the Blanco Family was farther away from a helicopter rescue.
At least two of Luca’s sons were dead. Mercier had taken care of them while pursuing Luca, who’d fucking vanished. We didn’t know where he was. Or Marco or Enzo.
“We gotta consider them having tunnels,” I panted.
Danny was just as breathless, wherever he was. “That’s what I’m dreading. Reese and I are almost at the estate.”
“Greer, Cullen, and Mathis are back on this frequency,” Emerson reported. “The Blancos’ weapons cache has been destroyed, but not before the Finlays stole three rocket launchers. They’re not using the helipads anytime soon.”
“Fucking A,” Danny replied.
“Where’s Mathis?” I asked.
The man himself answered. “Heading to the main entrance with one of the rocket launchers…”
All right, I was a fan of Willow’s extra mission.
Joel suddenly stopped in front of me, and I almost crashed into him.
Goddammit!
He lifted his handgun and fired at someone between two villas. To no surprise, the man collapsed instantly.
“Testing, testing!” Hot fucking damn, that was Crew’s voice. A rush of relief swept through me, and I swallowed against the dryness in my throat. “Coach found us and gave us earpieces and guns. How the fuck are you old guys?”
I let out a breathless laugh and scrubbed a hand over my face.
“Boy, I’m gonna wring your fuckin’ neck for worrying me!” That was Cullen responding.
So I didn’t have to.
Crew cursed. “Can we deal with this later, Dad?”
I smiled, and Joel and I took off in a run again. We were halfway there, running along the edge of the area with all the villas. Here and there, we heard children crying and women screaming for protection. If they received a response, it was only to hide. We’d killed too many of the guards for them to put focus on anyone other than core Blancos. The actual family. Luca, Enzo, Marco, their spouses, kids, and grandkids.
Over the next couple of minutes, our guys spoke over one another, and we decided to regroup near the side building that was closest to the kitchen in the main estate. That was where Reese, Danny, and Joel had hidden earlier.
In the meantime…
Greer and Cullen used the rocket launchers to destroy two helicopters, and Reese and Danny were next to arrive on the scene, so they shot up the remaining helicopter on the roof, until the engine caught on fire.
“Switching to units, guys,” Emerson stated. “Targets are the same—all remaining Blanco affiliates, except for Enzo and Marco. Mercier, Crew, Cullen, and Greer—you’re going after Luca. Mercier, you’ll be in charge. Willow’s changing your frequency now. Only the unit leader will hear what’s going on on the main line.”
“Understood,” a man answered. Presumably Mercier.
“Elliott, you’ll be in charge of the second unit,” Emerson continued. “You’ll run with Joel, River, and Shay.”
“Roger,” I replied.
“Danny, you’re with Reese and Coach in the third unit, and you’ll have Mathis in the background,” Emerson finished. “Try to find the remaining Blanco brothers and prevent anyone from leaving the property. You have roughly one hour, and then James and Griffin will be there to pick you up. Copy.”
