‘Boss,’ Alan said returning. Amanda was grateful | |
for the interruption. She’d been worried that she was | |
going to say or do something really dumb and possibly | |
quite violent. ‘I’ve got three bullets imbedded in the | |
wall. They were tightly grouped. The other two rounds | |
I can’t account for. I reckon they got shot down the | |
tunnel deeper into the cave complex. I can go look for | |
them.’ Amanda was already shaking her head. | |
‘No way. We go out, we go mob-handed.’ Alan | |
looked relieved. ‘You said two.’ Alan held something | |
up. ‘Seriously, what did I tell you about handling the | |
evidence?’ Amanda asked, pained. Mikey was grinning. | |
Alan looked embarrassed. Amanda took the object off | |
him and examined it. | |
‘Impacted six-point-eight millimetre full metal jacket | |
from the Grendel. Standard issue because CELL | |
doesn’t know enough to issue low-impact rounds to the | |
half-trained fuckwits they employ as grunts. It hit the | |
cave wall,’ but even as she said it she knew something | |
wasn’t right. | |
‘Thing is, boss, I found it right in the middle of the | |
tunnel entrance,’ Alan told her. | |
‘Walters the kind of guy to panic?’ Amanda asked. | |
‘No, he was solid,’ Safiya said in English. Her accent | |
was a mix of French and Algerian. ‘He wasn’t in New | |
York but he’d helped clear out a few Ceph nests and | |
he’d been on the sharp end in Sri Lanka with your 10th | |
Infantry.’ | |
‘Which ties with the tight grouping. So why didn’t he | |
hit what he was aiming at?’ She pointed at the tunnel | |
entrance. ‘So something comes at him. He gets off two | |
three-round bursts. He hits it but no blood?’ she looked | |
at Alan. Alan shook his head. ‘It closes in the face | |
of automatic weapon fire and not only overpowers a | |
trained ex-soldier but twists his head round.’ | |
