"We're at the gate," Keith said.

"Copy that, do you see the guard?" I asked. The man was resting against the fence.

"Yes, we have a clear shot. I'm taking it now," Keith replied.

Minutes passed and I waited. I then saw the man fall and heard Keith whisper for help as they drug the guard away from the gate so he wouldn't be discovered. I watched as they then entered the compound and heard the squeaking of the gate. "We're in the compound," Jeff said.

I looked at the images and the infrared. "First building to right is empty. Second building has a man moving about."

"Copy that."

More silence followed, I watched as they ran past the first building then moved to the side of the second. There was sound of a broken window from the comm, followed by curses as the man was pulled out through the window, gagged and then cuffed.

"Hostile has been apprehended. Threw a rock through the window and took him down," Pete said.

"Copy that, the main building is less than thirty feet ahead. There are a few trees that can be used for cover."

I watched them quietly make their way through the undergrowth and fallen leaves, making sure there weren't any changes as I did a quick scan of the area around them.
