Knowing the property was probably a trap didn’t change the fact that Millie was still inside it.
That was the part Hell’s Fire had counted on.
Jarek pulled everyone back far enough into the trees that the farmhouse disappeared behind the branches while we adjusted the plan. Nobody suggested leaving. There wasn’t much point. We could spend another six hours watching the place and maybe learn one more vehicle, one more face, one more route through the woods, but sooner or later we still had to cross that property if we wanted JJ’s daughter back.
Stone and Smitty shifted farther toward the rear track so nobody could circle behind us without being noticed. Bryce stayed between the house and our exit route, while Jarek and Marcus planned to clear the first floor once we were inside.
