The shocktrooper was almost on Jay when a jeep screamed toward them. The shocktrooper rolled clear, behind the white van. The jeep pulled up sharply next to Jay. He could see Nasira in the back seat, MP7 resting on her half-open window.
Sophia leaped out of the jeep and pulled Schlepper or whatever his name was out of the van.
‘Jay!’ Nasira yelled. ‘Injuries?’
Jay shook his head and climbed to his feet. He was sore and numb in places, but otherwise OK. He quickly checked himself to be sure.
The shocktrooper had found another position and opened fire.
Sophia pulled Schlepper into the jeep. ‘Go! Go!’ she yelled.
Benito hit the gas.
Jay collected his Sig and clung to Nasira’s open window. Schlepper was next to Nasira, bewildered and mostly in shock. Sophia handed Nasira a GPS receiver.
