ve called in extra staff,” Dale continued. “They’ll be here soon to register you tonight. That way, we can get you your supplies and a place to stay without any more delays.”

Uneasy murmurs spread through the crowd. “It’s late. Can’t this wait until morning?”

“After months at sea? Look at you. You’re worn out. I’d hate to make you waste another day waiting around when we could get you settled tonight.”

“But we’re hungry. We can barely keep our eyes open. We just want to sleep.”

“We’ll take care of that, too. The cafeteria staff are making you a hot meal. Someone will bring it over sood.”

This wasn’t the reception the pirates expected. None of the survivors they questioned mentioned treatment like

this.

However, turning him down wasn’t an option.

Hungry survivors wouldn’t refuse a meal, especially one with meat. Doing so would only draw attention.

Before leaving the boat, they had worked out every part of the raid. The hospital, cafeteria, and food warehouses were among their targets. Each team had a job and a schedule to follow.

The hospital team was already gone. Everyone else was stuck in the lounge. If the others ran into trouble, the whole base would know what was happening.

Immediate registration. Food delivered right to them. Dale was giving them no reason to leave.

He knew.

Months of language practice and careful planning, and somehow, the Yorwynians saw straight through them.

The leaders exchanged looks. They were already ashore. Waiting would only give the military time to surround them.

They would have to fight their way out.

Several men pulled weapons and rushed Dale. If they took him out first, the others would be easier to deal with.

Dale’s guards drew their guns and fired before the pirates reached him.

The soldiers knew how to handle an attack. They shot without hesitation, hitting heads and chests.

Dale’s years behind a desk in administration and logistics didn’t make him defenseless, either. He drew his gun and fired alongside them.

Some pirates had guns of their own, but Dale was ready. From the moment Zeph raised the alarm, his guards kept the newcomers under close watch.

Dale’s years in the military served him well. All his talk about registration, rooms, and hot meals kept the pirates occupied while his soldiers moved into position.

At the first shots, soldiers emerged from hiding with assault rifles and surrounded them.

The pirates had guns, knives, and no shortage of nerve. But with rifles trained on them from every direction, they froze.

They knew the raid was a gamble, but the possible payoff was simply too good to pass up. Since Yorwick opened, more survivors were heading there for safety, leaving fewer ships for the pirates to raid.
