‘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.’
