Today’s
excerpt is from Billy’s Rescue, Book #7 of the nine-book Asps Series. The Asps find the camp where Billy had been
taken, and find the remains of the terrorists who had captured him. Enjoy and have a fantastic day.

Back at the
camp, the team had finished scouring the area, looking for signs of Billy while
observing what they could from what was left of the camp as to how he might
have pulled off the very thing he had done.
Bear spoke first, “Okay, I found where they were holding him. A makeshift cell…ha…with hinges on the inside. Saw where they must have stacked his clothes,
after stripping him. Saw where he
somehow managed to drag the clothing to him before he used our famous
Drew-slant-Boris belts to get loose from a chain they had around his
ankle. Saw a bit of skin and blood on
the chain clasp, but not much blood. He
unhinged the door. I found what must
have been a sentry to guard him, with his throat slit.”
Dusty smiled and
nodded. “Yeah, I found a couple of guys
with slit throats, too. Bear, you are
good at remembering faces—might want to take a look at those two. I think I recognized one—a mid-level al-Qaida
guy by the name of Haafiz Abdilla. The
other guy, I don’t remember seeing any pictures of. They’re in what’s left of the tent over
there. They’re a bit charred, but not to
the point they can’t be recognized. Also
found an empty holster next to Abdilla’s body.
My guess is Billy took the guy’s handgun.”
Jack was tossing
a brass rifle casing. “Yeah, he’s
armed. Gotta tell our boy to police his
brass. This is ours…so he has his own
rifle. From where I found them, I’d
guess he had a pretty good shot into the cave, where those idiots must have
stored their ammo dump.”
Kye
grinned. “Yup, right next to their
beds. What idiots. I’m betting he booby trapped the ammo dump,
then set it off with a shot from where Jack found the casing. Those guys inside the cave are crispy
fried…some blown apart, then crispy
fried.”
Bruce smiled at
the thought of one man doing so much damage.
“We came to rescue Billy but these dumb bastards are the ones who needed
rescuing. Jack, from where you found the
casing, any sign of which way he’s headed?”
