Keira O’Shay flexed and released her fingers around the grip of her Colt
AR-15 assault rifle, her mind on the little boy inside the religious-cult
compound. The boy she’d been tracking for over a year now.
She squinted through the hundred-and-twelve-degree heat rippling off
the hard, dry Nevada landscape. The ranch house and barns of the property
danced in watery distortion, shifting like a reflection in a house of mirrors.
Fitting. From the very beginning, this situation had taunted Keira with a
reflection of her own twisted past.
Her commander, FBI Senior Special Agent Angus West, leaned his hip
against the bed of the agency pickup ten feet away, arguing logistics with
the incident commander from ATF while she and her team steamed like
vegetables in their SWAT fatigues.
Fucking departmental posturing. Fucking egos. Fucking waste of time.
So much precious time already depleted in briefing, staging, arming,
negotiating. They’d been out here since midmorning, and in a few hours,
they’d lose their light.
Gunfire cracked in the air, followed by the clang, clang, clang of bullets
against metal, the shots coming from the farmhouse-turned-prisonlike
compound. The sting of anxiety burned across Keira’s ribs. The half-empty
bottle of Gatorade in her hand exploded beneath the crush of her fingers.
She chucked the shattered plastic at the dirt.
Crack. Crack-crack-crack came from the agents on the front line.
“Don’t return fire, you idiots.” She clenched her teeth to keep her voice
low so her team, hovering beneath the shade of a single pathetic Joshua tree
nearby, wouldn’t hear. “My boy’s in there.”
Her stomach coiled tighter, something she hadn’t believed possible. She
already felt like a bottle of champagne shaken and still corked.
She pushed off the SWAT van that acted as a barrier to the hostilities.
The men supposedly in charge had ceased their dispute to watch through
binoculars as FBI and ATF agents closer to the compound scuttle among
outbuildings for cover.
“Excuse me, sir.” Keira waited for West to lower his glasses. “What are
we waiting for? A neon sign flashing ‘Armageddon this way’?”
The ATF leader standing across from Angus sliced her with a critical
sneer. One that indicated he had a dick the size of a peanut and had to
compensate by making everyone else’s life a living hell.
Angus’s gaze remained locked on the other man, his demeanor
controlled as he raised his index finger to Keira.
Don’t push it.
Yeah, she got it. She didn’t even need her clairaudient abilities to hear
him loud and clear. That message was as crisp as the gunshots across the
compound and as clear as the risk that was growing with every passing
moment.
This waiting was killing her. She wanted that little boy. Wanted to see
him. Wanted to touch him. Wanted to prove the kid was real. Wanted to
know she hadn’t spent the last year of her life chasing a ghost only to end
up in the same haunted, hopeless, helpless place she’d started.
