Fifty yards away from them, the ramp lowered slowly on the Lockheed C-130 Hercules. A scarlet glow shot like a soft ray from inside the cabin, illuminating the tarmac, and the planes four massive turboprops spun at idle, growling in the cool night. Ground crew worked feverishly around the aircraft, moving this way and that as they readied it for its upcoming flight. The light from the cabin did not quite reach Hightower and his men on the tarmac; they remained in the dark, gazing on, interested but unconcerned. The six men were armed and armored, festooned with heavy equipment and bulky parachutes, but they endured patiently, embracing the suck of the weight on their bodies. The sixty pounds of gear strapped to each man made unnecessary movement ill-advised, so all of them knew better than to waste energy now, before their arduous evening had even begun in earnest. The ground crew in front of them did not engage with or even look at the operators in the dark. That was considered bad form, so the six men were left alone with their thoughts, gazing at the glowing rear of the hulking aircraft in front of them and waiting for their cue. All six operators wore quad-tube night vision goggles stowed in the up position on their helmets. They were also equipped with rifles, pistols, and extra ammunition, as well as fragmentation, flash bang, and thermite grenades. Theyd be dealing with extreme cold soon enough, so they wore efficient merino-wool base layers under nondescript black Gore-Tex flight suits, which were themselves under plated ceramic body armor that was housed inside load-bearing vests. Additionally, each man wore two parachutes: a main chute on his back and a reserve in front, low, cinched around his midsection. Oxygen masks were snapped tight to their faces, with two small tanks strapped just as tightly to their bodies. The men were already consuming bottled O2 even though they were still on the ground. Tonights mission would begin with a HAAM, a high-altitude airdrop mission-a leap from the Hercules at twenty-eight thousand feet-and breathing from the tanks now would eliminate the risk of nitrogen buildup from the rapid change in air pressure as the men descended. These six were ordinarily a talkative bunch, but as team leader of the tiny unit, Zack demanded a strict decorum before an operation. All extraneous conversation had ceased as soon as theyd arrived on the tarmac; no one shouted through their rubber mask about what was to come. They all just waited, heavily laden statues in the night. Eventually the aircrafts loadmaster came down the ramp and then made his way over to the group. He looked around for a moment, obviously for some indication of who was in charge. Zack Hightower, virtually identical in dress and load-out to the others, took a single step forward. The loadmaster shouted, "Sir, you can board whenever youre ready." Zack answered back through his mask in an easygoing tone. "Im not sir, chief. Just call me Bob." The loadmaster was in his forties, thick and brawny. He nodded; he understood what was going on. "Thought you fellas were Special Forces." It wasnt really a question, and he received no response. "Sweet. To be honest, we dont get a lot of ops like this. Doubt anyone in the Air Guard does." He shrugged. "I mean, this is just a milk run. For us, I mean. Cant imagine what you guys have planned." Zack stared back at the loadmaster, his eyes slightly narrowed. "Right. No worries. Well take care of you and your boys, Bob. The pilots are ready to get this bus a-rollin as soon as you men board and strap in." "Were following you, chief." The operator who called himself Bob turned back to the other five now. All but shouting through his mask, Zack said, "U.S. taxpayers bought us half a plane ride, gents. Lets go." The team of six lumbered towards the waiting aircraft, following behind the wide-eyed chief master sergeant, who couldnt wait to tell his friends back in Nebraska that hed flown a mission with the CIA. The dark gray Lockheed had taken off from Camp Chapman not forty-five minutes earlier, but already its engines sucked the night sky high over the mountains, just inside Afghanistan Details ISBN059309901X Author Mark Greaney Pages 528 Series Gray Man Language English Year 2022 ISBN-10 059309901X ISBN-13 9780593099018 Format Paperback Publication Date 2022-08-09 DEWEY 813.6 Series Number 11 Publisher Penguin Putnam Inc Imprint Berkley Publishing Corporation,U.S. Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2022-08-09 NZ Release Date 2022-08-09 US Release Date 2022-08-09 UK Release Date 2022-08-09 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
