They happened to look back and saw the person at the edge, with smoke rising from his head...
So... that last shot, the one who got hit was one of their own?
Who fired the shot?
Could it have been Dane and Jay Monroe, firing before they rolled to the ground...
The mechanical score report in their earpieces sounded right on cue.
"Team Blue sniper, Renee Morgan scores one point, total 51 points."
The patrol heard the name, and the headshot score "51" afterward. They didn't even bother about Dane and Jay Monroe, who were hiding in the bushes, and hurriedly took out their communicators to report the situation.
When Jude led his group out in pursuit, the patrol teams had already been decimated—sixteen patrol members, not a single survivor.
The names ringing repeatedly in the earpiece, all belonged to the same person...
"..."
"Team Blue sniper, Renee Morgan scores one point, total 66 points."
