and Happy
New Year!
Jim nodded. “Take him out.”
As the guard
fell dead in his tracks, everyone was already headed back to their various
vehicles. Jim started his buggy
forward. When they were about thirty
feet from the front entrance to the prison, he stopped. “Bruce, take Ike and Bear and start going
through the out buildings…looks like most of them are homes for the guard
contingent. Take a few rolls of duct
tape for wives and children. Dusty, you
and Kye stay with the buggy you’re in, in case we need a fifty…and hope we
don’t. Everyone else, let’s go.”
Bruce, Ike, and
Bear headed for the furthest building from the prison, of the eight they would
go through. The rest of the team—except
Dusty and Kye—headed for the entrance.
Once there, Jim tried the door and, just as he was about to open it,
Tony asked, “Do you see what I see,” as he pointed at the dead guard.
Jim backed away
from the door and looked closely at the dead man. He saw what Tony was talking about. The man wore the uniform of the infamous Qods
Force. Jim raised his eyebrows. “Well, that doesn’t really change anything,
but it sure leads one to suspect whoever we find inside definitely needs
rescuing.”
He went back to
the door and opened it slowly. Sitting
inside at a desk was another guard…also of the Qods Force. He died even as he looked up and saw Jim fire
his Asp. Jim was quickly through the
door and headed for the desk. The others
followed him and fanned out in the small entryway to the main prison. In a matter of seconds, Jim found a map of the
building, with each cell marked, as well as guard stations. The building had two floors and had cells on
both floors. According to the schematic
of the building, there would be two guards—in addition to the now-dead one—on
each floor. To get to the cellblock, and
the stairs to the second floor, they would have to go through the door behind
the desk and off to one side. While Jim
showed the floor plan to everyone, Tony, after looking at it, started rifling
the desk, and Hector checked out the guard.
He found what looked like a master key and showed it to Jim, who
nodded. To that point no one had said a
word, and wanting to keep it that way, Jim used hand signals to indicate who
would go where. He indicated Tony,
Sergeant Major Squires, and the other two SAS men would go up the stairs to the
second floor. When they went through the
door, Jim and Hector would go to the right, Dan and Anson to the left. Everyone nodded their understanding, then Jim
took a deep breath and opened the door.
