I hoped that order didn’t bite me on the ass.

“Reindeer. Task complete. Over.”

“Wicked. Task complete. Over.”

Our hastily practiced operation was fully manned again.Here goes.“Big Red. Initiate Operation Batman. Over.”

Ropes burst from the top cliffs to the opposite side.

“Come on.” I exhaled slowly.

The Batman stewards clipped themselves to the ropes and wasted no time soaring across the quarry.

Face down, they opened fire on the Luthers below.

Yes!

“Big Red. Paw Patrol, shields on and climb. Over.”

If they could reach the middle tier, we’d be okay.

Those on the water cannons would probably be shot, but they continued working as Batman stewards soared over the quarry, and paw patrol stewards ascended the sandstone walls.

One Batman steward was hanging limp in the middle of a wire, rendering the entire wire useless.

But they were nailing it.

This game is carnage,Booker said in awe.

Yep.I’d never experienced a grid match this intense.

“Something’s wrong over there.” Rhona pointed.

Tribe members were scrambling to reach an unconscious steward. I gasped as her anchor dislodged and she dropped to the next safety point.

Muted screams rocketed toward me from those looking on.

I blurted into my walkie, “Reindeer. Take over head steward controls. Over.” Jumping onto the railing, I launched at the cliffs to my left and extended my claws part way.

Puncturing the sandstone, I worked fast toward the middle of the quarry where the unconscious woman hung.

I could feel Sascha closing in as well.

Panting hard, I reached the steward and took her weight over my shoulder.Oh fuck.Our claws were not made for this load.

She’s clipped to the rope,Booker reminded me.

“Hand her over.” Sascha was breathing hard too.

He was stronger.

Hissing at the pain in my claws, I nodded. He transferred her to his shoulder, and I unhooked her from the ropes.

Grunting, Sascha descended to the middle tier. I caught my breath, clinging to the wall.

“Fancy meeting you here.”

Pain exploded across my cheek, and I saw white. I clung on and blinked at Mandy for an instant before her fist replaced my view of her smirk.
