“Alright, guys, let’s go get to the choppa!” said Johannes, after he holstered the M4 on his arms and switched the empty magazine with a full one. Johannes then took point through the original route through the staircase that Johannes had originally planned to walk through.
While they were walking down the stairs, Johannes stopped right before they were about to enter the ground floor and held up his hand. “What’s going o-?” asked Saad, but his mouth was quickly cov- ered by Johannes.
