Connor peered over the low brick wall surrounding the roof and saw an armoured RG-12 Nyala and two police BMW’s, doors open, four officers crouching behind them, weapons trained on the blown garage doors.
“Twenty at the most. Maybe less if they were thinking of taking prisoners.” Connor knew the love of the police for taking prisoners. That was worst case scenario.
Noecker peered over, pulled a grenade off his belt and tossed it towards the nearest BMW. The explosion and subsequent panic were a joy to see. Noecker and Connor quickly picked off the remaining officers.
“Downstairs,” barked Noecker.
They crept past the corpse of the man Connor had stabbed.
“I’ll take that back.” Connor retrieved his dagger and wiped the blade on the man’s shirt.
Noecker crouched at the doorway and swept the kitchen with his gun. “Clear.”
They crept through the kitchen, sounds of gunshots and shouting growing louder.
Through what used to be a living room. Three dead policemen littered the floor. Out through large doors into the garden, over a dead resistance fighter. Connor grinned and took aim. Shooting fish in a barrel. The police were concentrating their fire at the end of the garden, with their backs to them.
