Six hours. That’s what Julian thought they had.
Graves found them in two.
The church basement had no windows. But the floor above had stained glass. The first bullet came through the ceiling.
“They’re here!” Pip shouted.
Everyone hit the floor. Dust and glass rained down.
Julian grabbed Lily. Pulled her behind a concrete pillar.
“How did they find us?” Marcus yelled.
“Doesn’t matter,” Dara said. “Fight.”
First Contact
Three soldiers dropped through the hole in the ceiling. Rappelling ropes. Night vision goggles. Blue lights on their chests.
Leo grabbed one by the leg. Slammed him into a wall. The soldier’s head cracked. He didn’t get up.
Dara threw her blade. Hit the second soldier in the chest plate. The blade bounced off.
“Armor,” she said. “Better than before.”
