:—
Donning his night vision device, Dutch could see Mantis along with two other men, who looked like they were also captives. All were heavily guarded, but that wouldn’t deter him and his team from going in and extracting them. They just needed to organize, and then they’d head in.
—:—
Mantis’ head was throbbing, and he felt nauseous. Whatever he’d last eaten was probably spoiled, or worse—poisoned.
He’d been listening to the Somalis argue about the fact that, so far, no one had responded to their ransom demands.
He doubted it would be long before they heard from either Doc or someone from the CIA, but it would only be to tell them they didn’t negotiate with kidnappers and to demand Mantis’ release.
It had been clear that the group who ambushed him was as financially crippled as the one who had taken Tackle and Halo. Nearly everyone in Somalia was in the same situation. Whatever foreign aid came into the country, immediately landed in the hands of corrupt government officials rather than be disbursed to the dying people in their country.
Mantis heard a sound that made his ears prick up. It sounded almost like a birdsong, and would to anyone else who had heard it, but he knew differently.
All hell was about to rain down on this encampment, and not just from anybody; his best friend Dutch was here, and he was about to be rescued.
