A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 1415

Bernard slipped on his gloves, his gaze lifting to the team assembled beside the chopper.

“Three things,” he said.

“First, keep your own hide safe. Second, take down 49 of them, then we pull back. Third, I’ll avenge Caleb myself.”

His words, terse and clear, were met with a deafening chorus of affirmation.

“Yes, sir!”

Bernard looked away from the team, his eyes falling on Evan and Gianna.

The unknown quantity of explosives rigged by the Area Opaca made those on the first flight, tossing the bombs and triggering the ground explosives, the most at-risk group.

Cedric paused his typing, his eyes, glinting with mirth, lifting to Bernard.
