“The Major is in trouble,” Zayn said, seeing it happen from his spot.

“Continue to your locations,” Jagger said, hauling ass up and over the side of the boat. What he found was his wife in a knife fight with one of the crew members.

He was wildly slashing at her with a bowie knife, and she was letting him get closer and closer.

Jagger pulled out his gun, and just as he was about to shoot the guy, his wife pulled out her knife, went under his arm, and cut his throat from behind.

“You terrify me,” Jagger whispered. Then, he updated the team. “The Major is fine, but she’s getting a lecture later,” he said over the com.

“You guys better move fast. Shing is getting suspicious,” Boone warned, whispering behind his hand.

Zayn found his target, and he walked right up to the man. He punched him in the face, tied him up, and then dropped him overboard into the water with the help of Heath.

The man sank.

“Mine’s handled.”

When Adder and Mamba found their two, they were twice their size, and one actually swung at Eve with a pipe.

It was a good thing Dakota was home, and they weren’t using MATE to communicate.

She pulled out her gun, silencer on, and shot him.

Twelve times.

Then, she reloaded, as she watched Mamba have some fun. She had a garrote and was waiting for the dude to get closer.

When he happened to move into the wrong position, with a knife, she knocked it from his hand, got behind him, and…well, took his head off.

She was a woman, but she was also a Snake. She put her body weight into it.

“That’s ours done,” Eve said.

That was four.

“Remmy and Boone, your turn,” Maura said.

The two men on the deck heard them, and moved toward the man.

At first, he must not have figured it out, but then, he saw the intent.

He tried to dive overboard, but Merry picked up an oar from the lifeboat, and Calyx tripped him.

The women took him out.

Well, down.

Boone laughed.

“I won’t be sleeping easy tonight. That was a little too wild for me, Meredith. You enjoyed clubbing him with that oar.”

She smiled.

“I did. It was fun. Who’s next?” she asked, looking around.

That’s when the Marines headed from the shadows. They were all in black, and their faces and skin were covered in black and green paint, so they could hide in the water.

“You didn’t kill him, right?” Maura asked. “We need to interrogate him.”
