To Iraq, Book #2 of the Janitors Series. The team starts attack on al-Qaida
underground facility in Iraq using silenced weapons. Enjoy and have a wonderful day.

He
motioned Holly and Tom forward, took out his Walther, and signaled them to do
the same. All three then gently laid
down their rifles and crept forward. The
guards were doing a very poor job of guarding.
For that laxness, they paid with their lives.
Hector
and his cohorts got within twenty feet of the nearest guard without
detection. At that point Hector stood up
and shot the man. Well before the other
two could react, they died under a hail of bullets from three guns.
Hector
gently felt his ribs, motioned the other two to check on their victims, and whispered,
“Jim, backdoor secure. Three down and
out.”
Jim
replied, “Roger. Drew, Boris, you’re
close enough. You’re both in easy pistol
range. Drew, you take the one on the
extreme left; Boris, you have at the one nearest him. Billy, you take the guy on the far right;
I’ll take the other one. On three. One, two, three.”
All
four men fired within a second of one another.
All four hit what they were aiming at.
Jim and Billy rushed forward, as Drew headed to check bodies while Boris
stood his ground looking all around to make sure there were no surprises.
By the
time Jim and Billy reached Boris, Drew had reported all four targets dead,
though he had to help one on his way.
Hector
heard Drew report the success of the front entrance operation, took his rifle
from Tom (who had retrieved all three of them), and headed toward the rear
entrance. There were two large metal
sliding doors that came together in the middle.
Those doors were closed about halfway, a fact that pleased Hector to no
end.
When
they reached the doors, Hector went to the end of the one they stood behind and
peered around the edge to see the vast cavern before him. He also saw the nearest machine gun nest,
which was manned. He quickly pulled his
head back and whispered, “Jim, we have a machine gun, manned by two men, not
twenty feet from us. My guess is you’ll
run into the same thing. We’ll wait
here, until you start the dance.”
“Roger. Thanks for the warning.”
Drew
was standing behind a door similar to the one Hector stood behind some two
hundred feet distant. As Jim, Billy, and
Boris approached, Drew peered around the edge and saw basically what Hector had
at the other end. He whispered to Jim,
“Same thing. Two-man machine gun
encampment.”
“Well,”
replied Jim, “this isn’t good,” just before replacing Drew and peeking around
the door’s edge himself. The two men at
the machine gun were talking and not paying the least attention to the things
they should have been.
Jim
saw no one else nearby so he boldly walked around the door and shot both
men. As their dead bodies slid down next
to the gun behind the sandbagged enclosure, Jim raced forward, with the others
following suit.
They
all knelt down behind the sandbags and Jim whispered, “Two more down. Hector, take out the two guys you saw, then
report.”
“Roger,”
Hector said before peeking around the door again. He saw both men looking at each other as they
talked, stepped out, and shot each man in the head, then rushed forward with
Holly and Tom close behind.
He
checked the pulse of both men, needed another shot to finish the job on one of
them, then reported. “Both down and out,
Jim. We’ll hold here at the gun pit
until you tell me otherwise.”
