Cam wanted to put his fist through the dashboard he was so frustrated. They’d had his Sunshine for too long and worried what they’d done to her.

“We’ll find her. But, dammit Cam, you need to focus. Detach yourself from the personal stuff or you’re going to go off half-cocked and get yourself or one of us killed. That’s an order.”

Jake was right. This wasn’t him. He’d busted his ass to make spec ops. This was another mission. He’d keep repeating it in his head until he believed it. When Cam had her in his arms, then it could be personal. Clearing his head with a shake, he focused on the end game. Rescuing Miranda and taking out the tangos.

“Copy that.”

Jake shut off his lights as he pulled in next to Rafe’s truck and turned off the ignition. “Are you ready?”

“Yes, Boss. I wish we had Halo.”

“Me too. Hell, I’m sure he’d like to get a piece of them too.”

“Yeah.”

“Put this on.” He tossed him a black t-shirt he’d dug out of his go bag, then handed him a night vision helmet.

“Thanks.” Cam changed shirts, being careful not to rip off the dressing on his shoulder and then put on the helmet.

“How’s the shoulder?”

“Perfect.” Jake grinned, flashing white teeth in the darkness.

“Let’s go get Miranda and end these fuckers.”

“Copy that, Boss.”

Murph was waiting for them in the shadows at the edge of the customs terminal.

“Sitrep?”

“Eagle 2 and 3 are on recon. Tex messaged that the tracker turned on for a moment then went dark.”

“Copy that.”

“What are we waiting for?” Cam asked impatiently.

“For Eagle 2 and 3 to return. Or report in.”

He hated waiting which was one of the reasons he’d been happy to train to be the K-9 operator. He and Halo always took point. No waiting.

“Eagle 2, this is Eagle 1, sitrep.”

“Eagle 1, we are about one klick south of your location. We have eyes on two tangos.”

“Copy that Eagle 2. Any sign of the HVT?”

“Negative, Eagle 1.”

“Copy that. We’re coming to you.” Following Jake, they stayed in the shadows as they navigated to the location of the rest of the team. About a half a klick from where they’d started they reached the fenced off customs containment area. A few moments later, the met up with Rafe and Ryan.

“Anything?”

“Maybe. Two guys just came back from that direction. They’re inside the office over there,” Rafe said as he pointed to the right. “I’m not sure where they came from.”

“Okay, let's see what they do next.”

Staying to the shadows, they didn’t have to wait long. The door opened and one of the guys came out.
