CHAPTER 78
Jake sprinted from his hiding spot as the transformer exploded, Patrick keeping pace next to him. Jake took out the guards at the entrance of the sleeping cage with two shots.
Then Patrick slammed into him, tackling him to the ground, as automatic fire chewed up the ground behind him. Simultaneously, they turned, taking out the solitary shooter.
“Thanks,” Jake said.
Patrick nodded as the guard tower above them exploded with Henry’s grenade hit.
Jake scrambled to his feet, seeing Patrick do the same. Side by side, they sprinted for the sleeping cage. A guard appeared around the side of the enclosure with his gun raised. With a fluid motion, Patrick pulled his shotgun from around his back and shot the man, practically slicing him in two with the blast.
Jake grinned. The priest could definitely hold his own.
Jake held his position, covering Patrick as he ran for the cage.
A padlock secured the gate. Patrick took aim and blasted the lock. Flinging the shotgun back over his shoulder, he threw open the door and yelled.
“Laney!”
