A shot rang out
Bolan heard the slug whack into the wall behind him, felt chunks of clay strike his shoulders. He took evasive action, going down on one knee and returning fire. The shadowy figure on the far side of the room flew backward, becoming entangled with a chair and fell hard, blood coursing from his chest and throat. He lay for a while choking on blood and sucking air through his shredded windpipe.
Bolan stayed alert, scanning the room until he was satisfied he was alone. He moved from man to man, checking for signs of life. There were none. He picked up the dropped weapons and threw them in a corner after pulling the magazines.
Then he turned and stepped outside, feeling the heat of the sun as he crossed to the old truck—and the figure bound to it.

Wrongdoing can only be avoided if those who are not wronged feel the same indignation at it as those who are.
—Solon, Athenian Statesman c.638 B.C.
The salvation of mankind lies only in making everything the concern of everyone.
—Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Nobel Prize winner
To those who prey on the defenseless and the weak—beware. I have seen that despair and weakness in your victims and I will not stand aside and abandon them, or allow it to continue.

To all of the coalition military personnel who have been, or are, serving in the Middle East. Thanks.
