When the lights dropped, I moved fast. The guards on the shore would be adjusting to a lack of light, and their eyes wouldn't be as sensitive. As for me, I had the night vision goggles, and I made it to the next two boats in under 10 seconds. I cleared the first quickly, as it was empty. The second was right next to it, and I was able to slip over to it without being in the open. It had a sleeping man, but no girls, and a quick knife to the neck ended his life.

Three unarmed bodies already, and I hadn't even gotten to the guards. This night wasn't going to make me feel better about myself.

I peeked my head over the gunwale of the last boat and saw the two marina guards talking near the entrance to the club. The layout that I'd seen had shown three floors, plus a garage below ground. The back of the building near the guards was all glass, and there was a nice garden between the shoreline and them. I wasn't shocked by the lack of a pool, as they weren't going to have the girls out here sunning themselves, and the main thing for the members to do here is to be inside with the kidnapped girls.

I didn't see any lights beyond the glass, which was a good sign. Any guards in there would hopefully be using flashlights, and therefore be visible. I slung the shotgun over my shoulder and pulled out one of the silenced pistols. Getting into a crouch, I raised the pistol and made my way towards the two guards. I'd made it off the pier and onto the grass before one of them looked my way. Even then, he hesitated, and I put my first shot between his eyes with a little pop. The second one hadn't even seen me before his partner was falling, and started to turn towards me when my second shot went through the side of his head with another pop. It sounded loud to me, but it wasn't as bad in the open air.

I knelt next to them, seeing AR-15s and 9mm pistols on them for weapons. That might come in handy later, but for now I was in good shape for weapons and ammo. The best observation was that neither were wearing any bulletproof vests or other armor. I was happy that I didn't have to count on head shots, the body was much easier to hit. I took both security badges from them, putting one into my pocket, and the other clipping to my belt and using it to get into the building. I still had the one I'd got from the hotel, but I had a feeling it would have been deactivated.

"Joe, I'm in."

"We're watching. We have a satellite overhead. There are 4 guards out front, but none reacted to your shots. We don't have thermal on the interior, but we stole their cams. So far, they're not panicking, so they're assuming everything is a part of the local power outage, but that will change. It looks like an additional 18 guards on site, most of which are either in the cellar getting auxiliary power on or in security. They have backup generators that will be up in a few minutes, so you should be prepared. You're looking clean so far. Security is straight ahead of you, and we can unlock all the doors, so you don't need the key cards if you prefer.

"Yeah, I have a pair of cards, but I'd prefer to just not deal with them. How many are straight ahead?

"If you head straight there are 6 in security, 5 downstairs. I told you about the 4 out front, and there 3 mobile on the second floor."

"Okay, I'll take out security first. Anything else?"

"That's it for now, but there is a ton of data to go over, so I'll let you know if we find more."

"Do you know how many guests are on the second floor?"

"Looks like 8 rooms occupied by a total of 13 people," he replied. "None of the girls are down there in those rooms, so that is good. They have cameras in the guest rooms, so they probably tape members as backup blackmail."

I holstered the pistol and unslung the shotgun. It was about to get very noisy, but if there was a group of guards, this was the way to put them down fast. I put the shotgun on my shoulder, flipped the safety off and moved towards the doorway to security. I listened at the door and heard a lot of conversation and yelling on the other side. They were obviously not well prepared for an emergency. If they never drill for them, they only know them by reading what to do, which is never enough.
