on Bolan’s screen. It was a pair of combat boots. They were distinctive in that they had a leather flap and two buckles in addition to the laces. “They’re standard French military issue, and, not surprisingly, standard issue to the French Foreign Legion, as well.” Kurtzman grinned. “Like I said, nice piece of detective work there.”
“What did the Cowboy make of the shell casings?”
“French manufactured .223 ammunition.” Kurtzman punched another key, and John Kissinger’s report popped up on the screen. “Cowboy says whoever those two boys shooting at you in Suriname might be, they were firing the latest generation FAMAS G-2 rifle, and doing it with French army ammo.”
Bolan grimaced as he forced himself to stretch. The bouncing around he’d taken in the Volvo during the battle and the subsequent crash left his body feeling like he’d lost a bar fight.
He considered the battle. “The guys on the motorcycles and the truck were more of the pandekar’s boys. Had to be. I’m betting the rocketeer was our friend Ki. The two guys at the roadblock were our real players.”
Kurtzman raised an eyebrow. “Legionnaires?”
“Actually, I’m thinking French Foreign Legion deep reconnaissance commandos.” Bolan shrugged and rolled his neck to work out the kinks. “But I can’t prove that yet.
“The guys on the motorcycles were fearless, but they were strictly local talent. The other two were highly trained professionals. They engaged with aimed fire and took out the vehicle. Our boys closed in for the kill, and when I opened up and wounded one of them they extracted under fire, right into open jungle. If I had to bet, I’d say those two guys went ‘escape and evade’ and walked home all fifty miles through the rainforest. They were ghosts.”
Kurtzman was clearly troubled. “Deep reconnaissance commando kind of ghosts.”
“That’s my current theory.” Bolan shrugged. “Until I can come up with something better. You get me my stuff?”
