Tyler nodded and turned his phone to us. "Proceeding to extraction.", he sent the video to the team and put the device away.

"Let's go.", I said and grasped the rifle from the trunk, closing it and moved away.

CONTINUATION

We were all walking fast, it almost seemed like a jog. The medication I had taken in the morning doing its job, which I was grateful for, because if a headache was going to alter the plan then I was fucked.

"It's G. I'm in position.", Tyler and I heard G's voice from the earpiece.

"There's an alarm going off in the engine room. G, I need you to be my eyes.", Thiago spoke in the speaker.

"Copy that.", and the speaker was off again. I looked behind me and saw the kid, breathing heavily, though he was following closely. Rake behind him.

"I... I can't breathe.", we were deep in, dodging branches and stepping on dried leaves. The kid continued to pant, making us slowly stop.

"Deep breaths, mate.", I told him, looking forward, Rake pulled his phone out, checking the position of the boat. "We gotta keep moving. Come on.", he moved forward and started leading the way.

"Give me verbal.", Nik spoke.

"G here."

"Thiago?"

"Tyler, Jane, something's wrong. Hold your position."

"Holding.", I spoke and slowed down. We were hiding behind thick bushes, the boat still out of our sight.

"G, you got eyes on the boat?"

"I'm looking at it right now. Our boys haven't come up yet.", silence followed. Tyler and I shared a look.
"I'm moving in for a closer look."

"Guys, two inbound police boats. 200 meters and closing in fast."

"G?", I spoke on the radio. Silence followed, making me gulp. My nerves started to get the best of me. My breaths were quicker and my hands started lightly shaking. I didn't want to fuck this up.

"There's someone else in those woods.", Nik said. "100 meters out and closing in on your position."

Tyler started moving away from our hiding spot. The kid unsure whether to follow him of not. I placed a hand on his shoulder. "Stay low.", I said slowly and moved towards Rake. He was headed towards a fallen tree, set his rifle on the bark and kept his focus on the thick bushes in front of us. I quickly did the same. Suddenly a twig snapped, making our heads turn towards the noise.

"Move fast. Stay low.", Tyler said lowly, making me look at him and then back at the bushes.
"Go!", he suddenly exclaimed, turning around and running back. Ovi and I started running behind him, I grasped his vest and pulled him in front of me. Seconds later we heard more twigs snapping, which meant that whoever Nik warned us from, was following us.
