on the other. The hall turned in a L-break at the far end toward the front of the building.
Lyons moved down the center of the hallway, ready to drop prone or respond with deadly fire at the slightest threat. Behind him Blancanales edged into the hallway, weapon up.
CHAPTER EIGHT
Kyrgyzstan
In the street a second black-clad European had joined his partner. This one held an ancient AKS submachine gun and together the two men jogged quickly up the alley toward McCarter’s position. McCarter ducked his head back around the edge of the building. He skipped several steps to the side and slid into the recessed arch of a doorway. The two combatants had now cut McCarter off from the rest of Phoenix Force.
As the men rounded the corner he could hear them talking to one another in low, excited voices. Both of them turned down the alley in the direction of the IMU compound and McCarter’s hiding spot.
McCarter stepped out of the doorway and into the rain and leveled his Beretta 92-F as the men stumbled up against each other in surprise at his sudden appearance. The pistol spit a single time even as McCarter extended his arm, and the terrorist holding the AKS went down. The rain had plastered the gunman’s shirt to his muscular frame, and McCarter could clearly see where the blunt round smashed into the prominent ridge of the man’s sternum and punched through it.
The terrorist fighter tripped over backward under the impact, going down. He dropped his submachine gun and it fell across his legs as he went down. Beside him the second SKS-armed terrorist struggled to bring his longer weapon to bear as McCarter swiveled at the hips and brought the Beretta around at point-blank range.
