VALIDUS

Present Day

Four 5.7 mm rounds whizzed past Validus’s head as he and two of his warriors dived over a tan brick wall. The sound was unmistakable: an FN Five-Seven, the only handgun fast enough to be a substantial threat to an angel.

One of the warriors, Arn, rolled and immediately took up a position on the wall. The other, Brit, took up a position of cover near Validus. Men and women walked past on the sidewalk, oblivious to the battle raging around them.

Captain Dartana was waiting for them. He kept a firm grip on his sword but holstered his pistol to help Validus gain a knee. “We’ve got to get you out of here, Commander. This isn’t just a few more detachments of reinforcement.”

Brit nodded in agreement.

Dartana continued, “We just got word that the Prince of San Antonio was able to call in another legion of Fallen for this fight.”

Hulan, Validus’s executive officer, had insisted that he take four warriors with him to check up on the forces in Texas. “As commander of the North American continent, you can’t afford to take such risks, sir,” Hulan had insisted.

Validus had scoffed and agreed only to bring Arn and Brit. He would not enjoy admitting to his subordinate that he had been right.

“Where is Commander Gregan?” Validus asked.

Dartana’s red hair matched the fire in his eyes. “He’s pinned down with twelve warriors in the building across the street.” Dartana motioned with his head to a burger restaurant.

“Then I’m not going anywhere.” Validus drew his sword. Arn and Brit frowned, but they knew that arguing was pointless.

Dartana looked both concerned and relieved. The situation was escalating out of control quickly. “We don’t have enough men to keep the ground
and
extract the commander and his men. I wasn’t sure which to—”

Validus cut him short. “How many units are engaged right now, and what are their positions?”

Dartana gave Validus a full tactical analysis, using the back of the brick wall as a temporary map. Validus was impressed with the captain’s assessment and filed that information for future use. His mind began to race through the options, evaluating threats, advantages, and possible outcomes. He had only moments to respond—the Fallen were coming fast.

Validus was angry with himself for underestimating the resolve of Bavot, the Fallen’s North American continental commander, to stop their attempt to set up a pregnancy crisis counseling center for young women just two blocks away from a Planned Pregnancy clinic.
