Sanders was terrified, and he wasn't the only one. His soldiers froze in shock as they laid eyes on Sam, not because they recognized him, but because of the horrifying scene unfolding before them.
It was inconceivable that one man could take down so many of their comrades. It should have been virtually impossible, yet Sam had accomplished it with nothing but a dagger.
He seemed almost inhuman. Without hesitation, one of Sanders' men opened fire, attempting to eliminate Sam on the spot. However, Sam swiftly dropped to the ground, seeking cover behind a heap of lifeless bodies.
"Hold your fire!" Sanders commanded, and the soldier immediately ceased shooting. Something in Sanders' gut told him that Sam was a man capable of reason.
"Are you Sam?" Sanders questioned, uncertain of the man's identity. But before he could receive an answer, a soldier fell beside him.
