Origin
“How had they known his team was coming? And who would have guessed they would jump out of the window? What a mess!
The latest update from Williams made him feel no better. Apparently his two men outside had been taken out, and the two fugitives had actually turned and run back inside the building!
Eldridge didn’t know what their plan was but he knew it had been a mistake not putting people at the back door. But with such a limited amount of men, what could he do? He couldn’t cover everywhere, a...nd the back entrance had seemed a very unlikely place to need covering when he had drawn up the plans for the arrest.
Still, he considered as he neared the first landing, plans never survive contact with the enemy. The crusty old Master Chief who had led his SEAL training down at Virginia Beach had been right about that, at least.
As they neared the bottom of the stairs and the foyer, he realized the impression they would make, six armed men running full tilt through a cheap city hotel. The op was supposed to go down quietly, and even though they had approval from the Chilean government and the Santiago metropolitan police, Eldridge was aware that the mission was about to overstep the agreed boundaries.MoreLess
