Today’s excerpt is from Bullets
And Baseball, Book #6 of the Asps Series. Asps take down terrorist camp only to find
the man they had come to capture wasn’t there.
Enjoy and have a great day.
m.j.
On Bruce’s
command, all six Asps in the attacking group moved forward. When each twosome felt they were as close as
they dared go without being seen, they waited until the other twosomes had
indicated proper placement by clicking their finger against the bulb of the
communication set they wore.
When all “thumps”
had been sounded, Bruce thumped his twice and the team began taking down the
terrorists outside their tents and shacks.
They were using silenced sniper rifles and, in short order, terrorists
started dropping in death all around the camp.
By the time anyone in the camp realized they were under attack, nearly
all of those in view were dead—or soon to be.
In a matter of minutes, those who poured out of various berthing
structures were falling at the hands of the Asps.
The team knew
which of the tents held the leaders, and they were careful to only wound anyone
coming from that tent. When all enemy
targets had been hit, the team rushed in only to discover that while the
operation had been a success, the ‘patient’ had died… the leader they sought had
been with the main force taken out by Hank and his team…with a bit of help from
Dusty and Bear. The four wounded
“leaders” were summarily dispatched when none were recognized as being of
importance.
On discovering
the leader missing, Bruce swore before he groaned to Maggie, “Come on—let’s see
what we can find in the headquarters tent, then get the hell out of here.”
By then Dusty
and Bear had arrived in their buggy.
Dusty had some bad news. “Hey,
Bruce, I hate to tell you this, but one of the guys in the front of that column
sure looked like the guy we were after.”
Bruce just
sighed. “Thanks for the info…not. To tell you the truth, I wondered about that
myself, but wasn’t sure. Now I am. He ain’t here, that’s for sure. Come on, Dusty, give Maggie and me a hand.”
