We begin crawling our way through the area, careful to stay near where there are already holes from the mines blowing up. When we get to a place where there are no holes, we toss more rocks until we find the mine. It draws their attention to the general area where we are, but if we don’t get across, this effort will have been in vain.

I hear some of the warriors behind me crying out as they get hit with a bullet, but Seth and I push on. When we finally get to the other edge, we jump up and start attacking Emanuel’s warriors.

I throw one into the mine field and his weight must set it off because his body explodes, blood and guts going everywhere. I see the fear on the next warrior’s face, but I don’t hesitate. I throw him into the mine field too. He screams stop when he lands, unharmed, but a moment later, our men attack and kill him.

Our pack members start pouring out of the mine field and quickly, the pack is overwhelmed. Even with the guns, they are no match for the number of warriors we brought.

“Please, please don’t kill me. I’ll tell you anything you want to know.”
