The next morning, Rayne, Julian, Ian, and the members of Alpha Team who were participating in the mission gathered in front of the houses.
It was still early enough in the morning that it was dark out, but the sun would begin to rise any minute.
"Okay, the plan is to make it to the outskirts of the government base and wait until nightfall. It will be a lot easier to execute our operation in the dark," announced Ian, bringing everyone onto the same page.
After a few more detailed instructions, everyone loaded their weapons into the Jeeps and drove out to the government base.
Rayne and Julian drove behind everyone in Rayne's SUV. They had plenty of time before nightfall, so no one felt rushed or in a hurry.
"So, where are we going to hide until nightfall?" asked Rayne. She hadn't attended most of the meetings, so she was a little out of the loop.
