Transfer of Power
“The navigator informed Commander Harris of the countdown, and the four SEALS moved to the back ramp with their bulky chutes and packs. Under their left arms, their suppressed Heckler & Koch MP-10 submachine guns were safely secured.
The four men stood in single file at the top of the ramp.
Reavers, the jumpmaster, was first in line. He checked everyone's chute one last time and then took up his place in the number one slot.
Harris walked up to Reavers's side and looked out at the ho...rizon. To the west the sun was now down, but the sky above it was still lit. To the east it looked as if the world were about to end. The sky was black from as far to the north and east as the eye could see. Looking down, Harris could see the Beltway running east to west, and to his right was the University of Maryland. Beyond the university, the city of Baltimore was getting pounded by the storm. The commander could tell from the trees below that it was gusting hard.MoreLess
