James laughed.“Good one, oh, knight of the templar.”He signed off.
Chapter Seven
John came in throughthe door to join him and asked, “Anything new on the cartel?”
James nodded.“Yeah, they’re at the border and according to my tech knight, they are bringing an army.”He passed along the info, “They’re all driving, so we got some time before they get here.Well, enough time to make some plans before the battle really begins.But I don’t imagine there will be any Motel 6 stops or dilly dallying for these guys.”
John nodded.“Leon will want everyone to meet and greet.Which will happen tonight at dinner.You guys will get to meet Storm and his men.Then see Hawk, Iceman and Deke.”
“Did Deke bring his dad along with him?”James asked.“Sam or Bones as everyone calls him?The man is a real wildcard.He takes chances when he doesn’t have to.”
John chuckled.“Yeah, but mostly he takes chances with his awkward comments, that’s for sure.”
“Man, I got him in a video Shay sent me a while back.”He looked at his laptop, brought up the file and clicked it.“You will wanna see this.”James tapped the player.
On the screen...
Shay strode up to where the group stood.He held a blank expression like always, but his eyes looked enraged.He stood and looked around, taking in the absolute carnage.
Bodies littered the ditches as metal still burned on the road beside them.Smoke swirled up from several different areas.There were wrecked piles of metal and what looked like carnage alongside that.
He took a slow spanning look until his hard gaze again, came to the group.
“Hey, Colonel Montross,” Sam greeted him with the Gatling gun sitting at his feet.“How’s it hanging?”
The group all looked over at him while shaking their heads.
Shay shook his head as he replied, “Fucking Sam.”He let out a heavy sigh.“Aren’t you a bit over armed?”
Sam shook his head.“Hell Shay, there ain’t no such thing.”
Some of the group sniggered.
Shay looked over at them all.“You guys swore to...”He halted and tossed up his arms.“Why do I even try?”
Sam opened his mouth to reply.
