章 250: A sheep among wolves

Mira and Cairo soon regrouped with the main team, a quarter mile away from the motel. Kevin and the others had parked their hoverbikes behind a public restroom on the right side of the road and were gearing up for the mission.

"Any Raider patrols in the area?" Mira asked, getting down from her bike and removing her helmet and gloves. 

Nash, who was scoping the road with his tactical monocular, re-adjusted its magnification and scanned the horizon. "The road looks clear. No checkpoints or patrols."

"The motel's packed. I count thirty heads," Kevin said, scoping out the building with his thermal vision. 

"Thirty Raiders?" Guzman asked.

"No, thirty humans. Raiders plus hostages." Kevin tried to zoom in on the motel to get a glimpse of the bandits inside, but the glass windows were all boarded up. "That's all the information I can get from here. We have to go in blind."
