Jude’s eyebrows quirked.

“Ignore her.” Mad Dog shook Jude’s hand. “She’s hot to trot for any fine-looking piece of ass.”

“I’m flattered,” said Jude.

“So you should be.” Hell Cat winked at him. “And ignore the women at your peril. Now, tell us what we can do to help.”

Jude looked around the group. “It’s a big risk going in there.”

“We’re up for a few risks,” said Ozone. “We wouldn’t be standing here if we didn’t know how to handle ourselves.”

“This way,” said Jude. “Tobias is coordinating.”

“Another Ember brother.” Hell Cat grinned at Gray Fairy and Ozone. “Our luck is in, girls.”

“Lincoln’s here as well,” said Octavia.

“He’s the hot one, isn’t he?” Ozone grinned.

“They’re all hot,” said Hell Cat. “I’m not fussy which one I have.”

“You might be disappointed,” said Octavia. “They’re almost all taken.”

Hell Cat nodded at Jude. “Is this one yours?”

Octavia glanced at Jude and saw him suppress a smile. “He might be.”

“Then hands off, ladies,” said Hell Cat. “As for the others, we’ll see if they can handle us.”

They joined up with the rest of the group. Jude made the introductions quickly. “Tobias, what’s the plan?”

Tobias opened a 3D image of the building. “We’re hitting the power lines going to the building. There are five sites to attack: the four corners of the building and one inside. We set the explosives, and they will trigger a chain reaction that runs through the building.”

“You want us to plant the explosives?” asked Mad Dog.

“That’s right,” said Tobias.

“We can handle explosives,” said Gray Fairy.

Tobias nodded. “The timer is set on each one to blow in fifteen minutes. That will give us enough time to plant the explosives and get a safe distance before they blow.”

“You make it sound so easy, sugar,” said Hell Cat.

“I didn’t say that,” said Tobias. “We’ve already seen two rounds of patrols pass by since we’ve been here. Security is tight in this place. They want to protect this vaccine.”

“I still can’t believe what they’re planning,” growled Mad Dog. “Those sick fuckers are going to kill off anyone they don’t think can give them something.”

Tobias gestured to the 3D image. “Hell Cat and Mad Dog, I want you to take the south side of the building. These small buildings are set away from the main site, they house auxiliary power lines.”

“The explosives will set off a chain reaction into the main building.” Mad Dog scratched his fingers through his beard. “Nice thinking.”

“Ozone and Gray Fairy, I need you on the north side doing the same,” said Tobias.

“We’re on it,” said Ozone.

“Colton, you’ll need to run a mission on your own,” said Tobias. “Take the west side.”

“I’m big enough to handle this without backup,” said Colton.
