TWENTY-SEVEN
––––––––
* * * *
Pouring herself a measure of liquor, Zara shut off the lights, so as not to draw attention to the premises because she didn’t want to argue with anyone who rattled the doors. She didn’t know much about how long it took for a sniper to do his work, but they weren’t far from the compound, so the troop would have arrived.
She finished her drink then laid down on one of the wooden benches that lined the far wall of the room. By now, Brodie would have taken out the men in the rear and probably the men at the front as well. If he had a vehicle then the drive would only take a few minutes. They would only use vehicles to get up the path to the house if they wanted to announce their arrival, otherwise they would be sneaking in on foot and it would take longer.
