on the Island of Dominica commences. Enjoy
and have a wonderful day.

With that, everyone else but Dusty and Key started
following at a distance, behind Ike and Jack.
Ike had gotten a clear look at where the two men were, and as he and
Jack got close, he motioned that they would be getting off the road and going
into the tree line they were already walking very close to. When they were about twenty feet from the two
men they sought, Ike stopped, took out his Asp, and motioned that he would take
the man standing on the left. Jack
nodded and took out his Asp. About two
seconds later, the two men died and crumpled to the ground.
Ike whispered into his headset, “Two down
and out,” as he and Jack moved forward to make sure both men were, in fact,
dead.
On hearing that, Dusty checked in. “I heard.
We’re pulling out now.”
As Dusty started the truck and swung it
around, the rest of the team caught up to Jack and Ike and all of them started
walking up the road, to where it intersected with the tire tracks Dusty had
found the night before. As they walked
forward, all had their handguns out, ready for any eventuality.
As they approached the tire tracks, they saw
two more men about fifty feet in front of them.
Bruce and Harry raised their Asps and fired. Both men fell dead where they were.
Tony watched and had heard
nothing…absolutely nothing. “My God,
those things make no sound at all.”
Harry grinned. “You might have heard something had you been
closer to us, but they are real quiet.”
“I’d say that was a bit of an
understatement, old friend.”
Harry just chuckled as he followed Bruce
down the tire tracks.
