IGNORING THE THROB in his wounded thigh, Conrad
rammed a full clip into his H&K MP-5, then wheeled
around the lifeboat and fired a 6-round burst into the North
Korean who'd broken cover in an attempt to gain ground
on the SEAL team. The 9 mm parabellum slugs turned the
lunge into a death dance, the corpse tangling in the lines
of a fishing net as it went down.
"Colder than a dead mackerel," Chief Sebastian War-
nicke cracked as he readied an HE grenade. He was a griz-
zled twenty-year veteran, and possessed a black sense of
humor.
Conrad felt a cold grin slide into place across his lips as
he looked at Warnicke. The SEALs knew they were the
first in on an operation, and reinforcement, if any, was usu-





ally too far back to do any good. In the present situation,
there was no backup at all.
Warnicke held the grenade for a brief count, then tossed
it into a small knot of North Koreans huddled near the
wheelhouse. The bomb went off with a loud explosion and
a flash of blinding light. Two North Koreans were thrown
to the deck and didn't move again.
Swinging around the lifeboat on the other side, Conrad
held the machine pistol low and fired controlled bursts into
the reeling survivors. Three of the enemy went down as he
rode the rising recoil. He tapped the transmit button on his
headset. "Three, this is Leader."
"Go, Leader."
"Give me a count."
"Three wounded. Two dead." The radio connection was
clear, but the staccato reports of autofire sounded like static.
"Do we have possession?" Conrad had never left a man
behind, alive or dead, and he didn't intend to be the first
to foul the SEALs' record. Still moving, forcing the leg to
take the weight and hold firm, he fired another burst that
raked a man from the top of the wheelhouse where he'd
set up a sniper's nest. "Aye, sir."
"Abort the mission," Conrad ordered. The words
sounded as if they were coming from someone else. In all
his years commanding his SEAL team or being part of an-
other, he'd never failed to reach an objective. But there was
no choice. Whoever had sucked them into the raid had suc-
ceeded with a vengeance. "Aye, sir."
"Two, this is Leader."
"Go, Leader."
