“Hot damn! I think we’ve knocked this b***h out!”
Sean could hear the adrenaline-laced elation in Hayden’s voice and thought he might have the makings of a professional smoke eater. “Don’t get cocky. She’s not out yet.”
Sean’s one-man saw-line had barely made a dent to keep the dragon contained until help arrived. She’d spread, farther and faster than he’d hoped, threatening to swallow them whole. But because he’d been studying this terrain for months, he’d known how to outsmart the beast. The responding units deferred to his experience—thank Christ—following orders for extending the line and trenching, so when the wind shifted and turned her head, she only had one direction to go. She’d burn out in another few hours. But how much more damage would she do in the meantime?
