“Well, at least we know who the ghost is that’s haunting my mission here.”
“What do you want us to do?” the one man asked. “We can’t find Ty. We think he was also killed by him. He was doing rounds, and we haven’t found the body.”
Oh, and they likely wouldn’t.
They were playing games with a highly trained killer. His men…and he used that term lightly since they were more like incompetent children, were fucked.
Well, it would clean up the mess and take out his trash. He could always buy more soldiers.
They were expendable.
“I suggest you get on your quads and start looking in the woods. He’s going to be difficult to find. I’ll see if I can get us some equipment to scan the woods. Maybe I can find something that will pick up heat traces. It’ll take me some time. So spread out, and each of you go in a direction until you find him.”
Or one of them disappeared.
That would tell them where to look.
Now wouldn’t it?
It was clear they hadn’t thought of that.
“There are only three people left who could have this key. Two members are from the platoon and then, there’s Hemmingway’s brother. That code is with one of them. My bets it’s with the man being babysat by a Marine. I need to figure out if the US Government is wise to our plan. If it is, war is coming, boys.”
None of them looked happy.
Well, he didn’t care.
War was profitable, and if it meant making one break out in a US city…
So.
Be.
It.
“Search the house, and see if the code is there.”
One of the men raised his hand.
“Sir, we searched. We can’t find it,” he said.
Von pulled out his gun and shot the man in the head. He dropped to the floor.
“Can’t isn’t in my vocabulary, Gentlemen. We find the doctor, and see if we can motivate him to give me the code. If he’s friends with the Marine, we’ll use that to our advantage.”
“So, when we find them…?”
Von smiled.
“Be nice to the doctor, and maybe I’ll hire the Marine. God knows he outsmarted ten mercenaries and did it without you assholes being any the wiser.”
Sadly, for Von, wasn’t that the truth?
As Von went to make some calls, his mind was spinning. The other members ofThe BlackStone Groupwere not going to be happy when he gave them this update.
They had to find that code before this whole mission compromised the company.
Or heads would roll.
