—CARLOS CASTANEDA As Laz led the way to the infirmary, Savage, Wenz, and Van were moving together toward Hamm’s location. Laz kept track via his earpiece. Mann had been ordered to hide. Laz knew that the sniper would choose the top of one of the containers for his location. The Savage team all had night-vision goggles, including himself and Hamm, which they’d retrieved with their weapons but the doctors and the crew members were all reliant on the deck lighting, which was poor in the darkness now that the sun had set. Daphne and Franny followed close behind Laz as he led the way to the infirmary. He felt like he’d made a million trips up and down this hallway tonight. He reached up and touched the medallion that Daphne had given to him. He wasn’t religious. He’d been in enough near-death situations to know when it came to the end of his life he wasn’t going to call out for the Lord. But having the medallion that Daphne had worn around her neck…well, it meant a lot to him.
