"It's a trap!" Draven yelled, his voice loud in the small safe house. "They're moving the real target!"
In that one, shocking moment, Seraph's mind moved quickly. She didn't have time to plan. She didn't have time to discuss. There was only time to make a choice.
She didn't hesitate.
"Jonah, Vanessa, buy us time!" she commanded, and her sharp voice broke through the rising panic in the room. "Keep their hacker busy. Do not let them realize we know about the truck. Draven, with me!"
She made a brilliant choice in just a second. She was sacrificing her scouts to give her heavy assault a chance.
Jonah understood her command right away. "On it," he said in a low, determined voice. He immediately had Trace move in a more frantic way, making it look like it was fighting for its life. It was the perfect trick, a clever piece of acting to keep the Bureau's attention on the useless decoy.
