Midnight Assault
Matthew Ryan Fischer
If all things were moving correctly, Rikard should have made the
first strike and he would be bringing the women to the warehouse. Arch didn’t
have time to wait. He had to hit the hotel at the same time before word got out
or anyone began wondering why none of the drivers were returning. Danik was
leading one group of soldiers, Haatim another. They would come from the back
and the side. Arch and his men would come from the back. According to Rikard,
the guard on duty tonight had been properly bribed and there would be no
resistance. Arch had made Ruel come with him along with his best fighters.
There was no reason for it, other than to force Ruel to prove his loyalty. It
was one thing to funnel money to an enemy, it was another to fight in open rebellion.
If this went as well as Arch expected they could be in and out before reinforcements
or police could arrive to break things up. Arch knew nothing ever went as well
as expected, but this was as close to a sure thing as he had ever planned. The
building was surrounded, most of the drivers were out on jobs, and no one
inside should have any idea what was about to happen. If Rikard could be
trusted. If not, they all might die. Or Arch would find Rikard someday and make
him pay. Either way, the die was cast and there was no turning back tonight.
Either the old order would fall or he and his benefactors would burn. There
would be no coming back.
