“Invisibility in three...two...one...now!”
The words echoed in Maggie Delacorte’s earbud as her SWAT teammate stepped back from the neat hole he’d cut in the window. Behind her, everything was quiet in the predawn darkness. But that wouldn’t last for long.
The FBI had gotten the word that a wanted fugitive was hiding out in this gang-infested part of DC, armed with an AK-47 and surrounded by a pack of die-hard supporters. Maggie and her teammates were here to make sure his time on the run was finished.
