Horace Goes Home, Book 2 of 3 Bader Books (Other Books) - Hector 3, hoods 0.



Today’s excerpt is from Horace Goes Home, the second of three Elmer Bader books.  Hector and some of his men capture the three thugs planning to do in Horace.  Enjoy and have a fantastic day.

After John’s car passed the original spotter, then started down the long drive, Hector ordered, “Barn, take out the first guy.  Car, slow down just a bit.”

The man in the barn immediately told his two men there to capture the first man watching the ranch.   Elmer told John to slow slightly.  A few seconds later the man in the barn was told the first man was secure.  Per their plan, the two men there would drive both cars down with the captive when told to.  When the first watcher had taken the other two to their new site, their car had been left behind, because there was no other good place to permanently park their car.  He had stayed a very short time after getting them in place because his car could be seen from the road leading to the ranch driveway.

The man in the barn reported the successful capture of the first man, then trained his riflescope on the sniper at the other site.  He passed on the information.  The fallback plan if the sniper had his rifle aimed for more than two seconds was for the barn man to take him out before he could shoot.

When John pulled to a stop in front of the house, Hector ordered, “Everyone in the car—out.”

Elmer relayed the information, and all four men got out.  As they did, Hector instructed, “House…send out your clay pigeon.”

Red was ready.  “Come on, Horace—about three steps behind me.”

Up at the observation site, the man with a bad hand was looking at the front of the house, with a night vision telescope.  On seeing and recognizing Horace behind Red, he tapped the shooter on the shoulder.  “Okay—second guy walkin’ to the guys getting out of the car is our target.  Take your shot.”

As the sniper turned his rifle with a night vision scope toward Horace, his head was suddenly jerked back.  A cold voice said, “You pull that trigger, your brains will follow the round.”

The sniper could feel the cold steel at the back of his head, as his head was being held.  He slowly eased his hand off the rifle.  The man with the bad hand also felt cold steel on the back of his neck.  When told to put their hands behind their backs, they complied.  Soon both had secured hands, duct tape placed on their mouths, and hoods put on their heads.

One of the men then reported in.  “Secure.  Gonna walk them in now.”

The man in the barn could clearly see the mission had been a success.  “Mission accomplished.  Our men are walking them in.  You other fellas drive on down.”

Everyone with communication sets heard—and everyone on the conference call heard as well.  Hector nodded to himself.  “Nice work, men.  I’m coming down.  Ending conference call.”
