A rumble of tyres, the thunder of a V8 turbo-diesel and a flash of solid green steel. It all happened so fast. An armour-clad Humvee appearing out of nowhere, an act of divine intervention.
The two-tonne beast drove straight through the firing squad and into the van, smashing it sideways through the barrier of the bridge. The Humvee slammed to a stop an inch from doom, as the van and broken bodies disappeared over the edge.
Driver moved to the broken barrier and saw circular white swells where the men and their transport had hit the water.
The Humvee backed up, its front grill painted in blood.
As Pope, Lim and Rios climbed out, Driver felt her heart resume beating. She went to thank Pope, yet he seemed more interested in the welfare of Baptiste.
Of course, Baptiste.
