“Ready?” Graham asked, as he held the wheel with one hand, pulling one of his guns out of the shoulder straps under his jacket. I nodded, adjusting the weapon in my hands as I looked back at the three men sitting in the back seat. All of them nodded.
The car we had taken from Ashton and his men continued down the narrow road between the tall, thick trees as we neared the checkpoint. We kept the lights off to stop them from noticing us too soon and alerting the others. But we had to be quick about taking them down or we were going to lose the element of surprise.
I took a deep breath, taking off the safety of the gun in my hand. It felt strangely heavy as I let it rest on my thigh, tugging on the hood of the hoodie I wore under my jacket. Graham was wearing the leather jacket of one of the dead men lying in our garden, using it to mask his scent. There was no room for suits and fancy get up. We were here to kill and destroy — and if we were lucky, to save a few people.
