Page 23 of Protection for Asher (Safeguarded By The SEAL #4)

Squat set up on a mountain overlooking the small compound.

The guy they were after was in the main building.

It would be easier to bomb the area and just call him dead, but they needed confirmation he was dead, so they weren't just going to bomb the crap out of the area.

Instead, they were going in for a close kill.

“I see movement,” Apple said over coms. Apple had set up about a mile south so he could see the other side of the compound.

“Nothing this side.” Sharp was on the opposite side from Apple, and Shine was opposite from him.

The entire compound was being watched. A long shot would do the trick, but they had to make sure it was the man they wanted to take out. If they got the wrong guy, it might send their target scurrying.

“Is it our guy?” Griz asked.

Apple grunted. “No.”

Squat blew out a breath. “Fuck. We’re going to have to go down there.”

“The moon will be dark tonight. Get ready. We’ll meet up at the arranged point thirty minutes after sunset and go in,” Sharp said.

“See you all in a few,” Apple said.

Squat checked the time and distance to the meetup. He had about an hour before he had to take off. Thoughts of Asher slid in, and he spent one minute thinking about her before he pushed the thoughts away and focused on the mission.

There were ten other people in the building with their target.

It wasn’t the worst odds they’d dealt with, but they weren’t great.

With the sabotage that had happened recently, they’d reduced the number of people who knew about their missions.

Until they found out what had been going on, they had to keep a tight hold on the people who knew what they were doing.

It was the only way for them to remain safe.

As the sun started to sink, Squat took off, making his way to their checkpoint. He saw Jay first, then the rest of the gang trickled in. They were ready to move out and take down the guy. He just hoped this went off without a hitch.
