Chapter 101
“GO, GO, GO!” I yelled as we reached the end of the white marble crypts.
We’d hit an intersecting pathway.
In front of us was a ten-foot wall, so we could only go right or left.
I broke left, and my two remaining men followed close behind.
The good thing was that the wall would protect us from the sniper.
The bad thing was that Lars said this would be a perfect place for the mercenaries to show up.
He was right.
A man in black stepped into view 50 feet ahead of us and opened fire with his assault rifle.
My men dove behind trees lining the walkway while I crouched down behind my shield. The bullets went ping ping ping across the metal.
I don’t think the mercenary knew I had the car door when he stepped out to fire at us – and I don’t think he knew what it was, so he was confused.
A second later, he was dead.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
I held out my Glock to the right side of the door and fired.
BLAM BLAM BLAM!
The mercenary jerked and went down.
“Got one,” I said as I stood up and started walking again.
“We keepin’ score?” Adriano joked.
“No, just celebrating the small wins.”
As I passed by the mercenary, I shot him in the head to make sure he stayed down.
Then I turned right down the pathway he’d emerged from. My men followed close behind me.
In the distance, I heard gunfire.
Brattatattatat!
Blam! Blam! Blam!
“Engaging,” Adriano said in a hushed voice over the earpiece.
Crack!
The shot echoed through the cemetery –
“Shit,” Adriano hissed. “He got Luca.”
