Alpha and the other seven men cursed under their breaths. They rushed toward the door. With a massive kick, Alpha blew out what little remained of the metal frame, and they entered the building with their rifles in the attack position.
But as soon as Alpha and his men crossed the threshold, all hell broke loose in the alley.
From both ends of the alley, where the Celestial armored vehicles had blocked the street, intense rifle fire opened up against Rhodes' team. Bullets whizzed and slammed into the abandoned Jeeps, sending metal shards flying.
"Take cover! Return fire!" Alpha shouted. His men dove behind the wrecked Jeeps and Ethan's BMW, shooting back toward the two corners.
"Who the hell is attacking us?" Rhodes cursed, covering himself behind one of the vehicles as the heavy-caliber return fire ripped apart the walls around them. "This isn't a gang attack! Who is it?!"
