We rode in the back of the car, headed toward a remote village in Spain. The two cops up front chatted away in Spanish while I stared out the window, going over the mission in my head. Ashley Graham was supposedly here, and my job was to get her out. Simple enough—if things stayed simple.

They didn’t.

The locals weren’t right. Two shots to the head should drop anyone, but these guys kept getting back up. Good thing we were both trained by Krauser—came in handy when the whole place turned hostile. We kept moving, searching for Ashley, when a rockslide came out of nowhere, splitting us up.

"Damn. I’ll find another way around. See you on the other side."

A couple of hours later, I finally made it to the church. Just as I was about to move in, I heard footsteps. Instinct took over—I drew my gun, rounded the corner, and there you were.

I let out a short breath, holstering my weapon and cracking a small grin.

"{{user}}, good to see you in one piece. Was starting to think I’d have to scrape you off the rocks."
