9:05 AM – Wednesday
Checkpoint on Route 11
Agadez to Arlit, Niger
“Fuck you!”
Virgil shouted and fired. He hit the guard he’d first pushed, the one with the machine gun still in his hands. The man went down with a bullet in his stomach, squealing like a pig.
Virgil turned his attention back to the man whose gun he’d kicked clean from his hands. The man’s weapon was on the ground, too far away for him to reach. Instead he grabbed the lone grenade strapped to his chest and pulled the pin.
“Virgil, no!” Sheila shouted.
