“Steel, we need to intercept them before they reach the boathouse,” Hadley said.
“Striker and Excalibur, go,” Killian ordered. “Hellfire and I are with you.”
“Boone and I will get Wolf and Hades,” Cain said.
Cain nodded at his partner. He and Boone crept around the edge of the boathouse. He could hear Wolf and Hades returning fire.
“Get them!” Weber barked. “Whoever they are, kill them.”
Shit. Cain moved closer.
He saw where Wolf and Hades were pinned down behind a wooden boat resting on blocks.
He also saw several fuel tanks against the wall. Damn. He hoped they didn’t ignite.
“I’ll circle around and take out the other guards,” Boone said quietly.
Cain nodded. “Be careful.”
They needed to rescue Wolf and Hades, and then get that chip.
“Hex, make sure you keep eyes on Weber,” Cain said. “We can’t let him get away.”
“Acknowledged, Shade.”
Her voice was a balm. Soothing and calm. He wanted this mission complete, so he could get back to her.
He had no idea what to do after that, but he’d work it out. Maybe he’d finally take Killian up on the job he kept offering Cain.
He crept closer to the gunfire. He heard Boone engage.
He also heard gunfire outside. He saw Weber’s head whip around, the man’s face hardening.
He heard it, too, and saw his cushy deal dissolving.
Cain snuck up on one guard who was shooting. He was focused on Wolf and Hades, and didn’t sense Cain. There was a reason his code name was Shade.
He slid behind the man and yanked him back. The guy dropped the gun and started to punch out.
Cain dropped him with two hard chops and then zip-tied his hands. He grabbed the guard’s gun, then rose with two guns in his hands.
His vision and focus narrowed. He saw three guards. He fired, swiveled, fired. He turned and went down on one knee, and fired again. All three men dropped.
Rising, he strode toward his team members. Hades rose from behind some crates and fired off to the left.
Wolf leaned against the side of the wooden boat. One sleeve of his shirt was covered in blood.
Cain leaned down and slid an arm around the man.
“Let’s move.” He hauled Wolf up.
“Thanks,” Wolf grunted.
There was a lot of blood, but he seemed lucid, so Cain hoped it wasn’t bad.
Suddenly, Jet’s frantic voice cut across the earpieces. “Cain! There’s a heat signature growing out of control right near you. Something’s on fire, and heating up fast.”
Oh, fuck. He met Hades’ gaze. “There were fuel tanks. Run!”
