Chapter 40

Gunshots echoed throughout the still of the night, flashes of gunfire were seen on the island.

"So, the fight has been taken to the island." Victoria said in a calm confident voice. Just after she had spoken there were sounds of boats closing in.

"What's that?" Joe asked.

"Silence!" Sasha growled.

A sudden pool of light shone on the escape boats from a tugboat blanketed by the darkness, followed by another pool of light from yet another spotlight on another tugboat. It was a trap, Joe and Caroline rolled backward making themselves flat after the sounds of loading guns and then they closed their eyes tight when the sounds of the gunfire began. The sounds were deafening, if Joe could cover his ears with his hands he would've, he and Caroline both screamed during the emptying of clips, full clips.
